few of the characters who made their way from the pages of an unabridged encyclopedia into the scenes.
The result included a scene where an accessory character told Duchamp, "I've brought you a present. It's an American jet with a portable airport."

But Duchamp traveled telepathically so he didn't need it.
"What I do is try to remain as thoughtless as possible, otherwise I'm constantly traveling," Cage had Duchamp say.
Other dictums in the vignettes included:
One scene gave advice for musicians, such as,
"You'll have to buy a metronome. Make sure it isn't too ripe."
"The sea is full of water. Why, we'll never know."
"Like money, the piano is only pleasing to a person who has his hands on it."
"If you have three trumpets, there isn't anything you can do."
There are trees you'll never see birds on.
Cedars, for instance. These trees are too dark. Birds get bored on them."
CAGE RECEIVED LENGTHY applause at the end of the lecture.
He is known for his development of new musical techniques, including the use of I-Ching chance methods to compose music and the invention of "prepared piano," in which musical tones are altered by placing objects such as coins or rubber bands between the piano strings.
Earlier in the day, Cage talked about his experiences in developing his music.
He said his studies under Arnold Schoenberg, a German composer noted for his atonal compositions, had been a major influence on his work.
"Schoenberg told us 'My purpose in teaching music is to prevent you from ever being able to compose.' Cage said. 'At that point I had decided to cease composing' he music to music, I thought. 'Well you just go to hell.'"
He said one of his highest compliments had come from Schoenberg, who told Cage he had the

Senate
From page 1
The committee recommended full funding only for KU Model United Nations. The group asked for $86.70 for postage and printing expenses needed for Security Council participation.
DURING THE FIVE and one-half hour meeting last night, the committee also voted to recommend cutting to zero the following groups' funding requests:
Alpha Rho Garma, Architectural Student Council, Biology Club, Art Education Club, Engineering Council, Fencing Club, German Club, Graduate Students in Urban Planning,
Hispanic-American Law Students Association, Hilltop 'kid Development Center, Iranian Student Organization, Kansas Engineer Magazine, Kansas Teles Club, KU Crew Club, KU Folk Dance Club, KU Formosan Club (funded through the Chinese Student Council), MECHA, Minority Business Students Council, Music Therapy Club, People's Yellow Pages, Pre-Nursing Club, Thai Association and University Dale Kansas.
SAILING CLUB Linguistics Graduate Student Association and the Pre-Physical Therapy Club withdrew their funding requests.
The Senate will give final consideration to the recommendations Oct. 7, 8 and 9 for final con-
The Senate will be able to vote to allocate the unused funds.
Miki Gordon and Kevin Boldt, committee co-chairmen, said they were pleased with the committee's funding decisions. They agreed that the committee had been relatively consistent in allocations and that it had not considered any one item allocation considerably out of line.

"He hit a bit opposed to the change." Moran said.
The clerk, uncertain what to do, asked Elwell, who decided to seek Stephan's opinion before granting the license.

Sources said the women, one of who has a first name that could be construed as a man's, went to a doctor to get blood tests. The tests are required by state law before a marriage license is granted.
But at the time the contract was signed, Moran said, the university did not have a policy against it.
The marriage license almost was granted, they said, but the doctor realized the women planned on marrying each other and called a District Court clerk.
From page 1
Kansas law prohibits marriage of close relatives, of insane people and of persons with venereal disease, but the statutes say nothing about same-sex marriages.
Kansas law also prohibits members of the same sex from having sexual relationships with one another, Elwell said.
The universe is not as old as most people think, Harold Slusher, professor of physics at the University of Texas-Ell Paso, said in a speech in Wescone Hall last night.
Creationist blasts evolution theory
By TIMSHARP Staff Reporter
Siusher said he was a creationist, and believed the processes that formed the stars, galaxies and planets could not have happened without the existence of a being with infinite power and energy.
He criticized evolutionists because they believed the process of the creation of the universe was based on random chance.
"Creationists aren't dependent on time, and the evidence for a long period of time hasn't been established," Slusher said. "The ages given for the universe are always changing, as well."
SLUSHER SAID he based his theory on the existence of cluster galaxies, groups of galaxies that travel through the universe together. Physical laws say that after about 2 to 4 million years these clusters should break up and form "field galaxies" that travel alone.
However, no field galaxies have yet been observed so, according to Slusher's theory, galaxies are not of old as has been believed—about 4.5 billion years.
He also said small meteorites that made it to the earth's surface before burning up collected dust.
RESEARCH IN THE collection of this dust has shown that three billion tons hits the earth a year.
If the dust has been collecting for 4.5 billion years, we should be drowning in it, he said, but only 8,900 years' worth of cosmic dust has struck Earth. This is the age of the earth by several million years.
