The University Daily Kansan
Other worthy candidates exist
By Chris Hopkins
Kansan online editor
Last week, I wrote about the Web presence of the major presidential candidates. Since then, I've decided I don't want to vote for either of them. Bush is an idiot riding his papy's coattails. Gore is more concerned with raising funds than standards. We need someone who will be responsible. Someone who cares.
Someone like Duke.
The former and ambassador and Hunter S. Thompson knockoff of Doonesbury fame is running a serious cybercampaign at wwwentertaindom.com/pages/d
uke2000/home.jsp. He promises to regulate marijuana and protect the small family farmers. His site has all kinds of multimedia and video and is just snazzy-looking in general. If he can run a nation like he can run
a Web site, he's got my vote.
Or maybe we need someone like Mr. T. I pity the fool who votes for the monopolistic two-party system. His Web site, www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Mansion/3141/, is at the other end of the quality spectrum, having been picked as on of the worst of the Web. But with a man like T, how could you go wrong?
There are so many candidates you never hear about because all the liberal media feed you is Gush and Bore, Nuchanan and Bader. There's also, however, Diamond
Then there's Frank Delaware. When you go to his site, www.frankdelaware.com, you
can vote for which party he should run with and who should be his vice president.
Joe Quimby, Barbie and Dave Barry, not to mention a whole slew of Star Wars characters running for president.
Actually, when you really think about it, do we really need a president? I
Oddly enough, though,
all his vice-presidential
candidates look suspiciously like him.
Hopkins is a Gresham, Ore., senior in journalism.
think Nobody should be president. Think about all the ills Nobody has cured, and all the good Nobody could do.
Play addresses disturbing issues
There are sites to back me up,
too. One, www.nobodyforpresident.net, contains a lengthy biography of Nobody. Another,
www.nobodyforpresident.org, has a history of Nobody's campaigning all the way back to 1974. Can any of the other candidates claim to have that kind of experience?
Kansan theater critic
By Amy E. Cummins
Driving was the only thing L'il Bit's family ever realistically explained to her. And Uncle Peck, who taught L'il Bit all she knows about safe driving, abused her since she was 11 years old.
Learning to drive serves as a metaphor for sexual initiation. This message is clear from the play's careful staging, set and the slides projected on a screen — the work of scenic designer Katy Seng.
One surprising part of the play is the depiction of the abuser as a human being, not just a conventional villain. In several scenes, Uncle Peck seems to have redeeming qualities, although the audience also knows the predator is victimizing his young niece. Uncle
Durham directs an excellent cast in this innovative play, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1997. The play features Sandi Bailey, graduate student, as L'il Bit; and Josh Meyer, Overland Park senior, as Peck. Beck Lake, Stilwell senior; Brad Danier, Lawrence junior; and Nancy Wilcox, Lawrence senior; play the Greek Chorus and reveal Li'l Bit's family background.
Profoundly disturbing issues such as these are addressed in the Inge Theatre production of Paula Vogel's play, How I Learned to Drive, directed by Leslie Atkins Durham, lecturer in the 'theater and film department.
The drama deals with L'il Bit's survival of sexual molestation, but despite its serious themes, the scatological humor and honest dialogue still inspire uneasy laughter among some audience members. The play also exposes how American society sometimes reduces women to their sexuality.
Review
Peck teaches L'il Bit to drive and encourages her college aspirations, meanwhile damaging her psychological and physical development. Tragically, L'il Bit is made to feel unjustly responsible for the abuse.
Viewers of this play cannot always agree on whether L'il Bit is a victim of rape in the play. But, by the end, she is able to assess her experience and to move forward in her life, determined to survive.
Because of the complicated portrayal of sexual abuse, talk-back sessions are conducted after every performance. Counselors and specialists from KU Counseling and Psychological Services, the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, the Rape Victim-Survivor Service and the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center are there to talk to viewers.
How I Learned to Drive is rarely performed by a university-affiliated theater. Several audience members and seasoned theatergoers at last Saturday's performance stated that Durham's production was superior to other performances they have seen of Vogel's work.
How I Learned to Drive, one of two paired plays titled "The Mammary Plays," was the most produced play in 1998 in the United States.
Vogel's success has been an inspiration to many aspiring writers and artists. As a lesbian from a working-class background, Vogel faced many challenges before earning the Pulitzer Prize in 1997.
How I Learned to Drive will be performed through this Saturday in the Inge Theatre. A few tickets still are available at the Murphy Hall Box Office (864-3982).
