Improvisation enlivens 'Don Juan
By ANGELA POTHETES

If you're looking for more gambling excitement than the Kansas Constitution allows, go see "Don Juan Tenero," playing on a stage in Theater 16 in the William Ike Memorial Theatre.
A recent constitutional amendment to permit gambling bingo games operated by nonprofit organizations was passed in Kansas, but the theater offers games of Poker. We compare with a small scale Las Vegas casino for those with more stringent tastes.
Card games, tarot cards, wagers and rolling dice control the fate of the notorious seduce and man of violence, Don Juan, Cliff Rakerd, St. Louis sophomore.
Other members of the cast also live by choice, since many of them perform until their retirement.
which character or characters they will play.
They will roll dice and the person with the highest number will choose the role he wishes to play, Marcia Grund, the director, said yesterday.
The cast didn't have a script to work from. Ground put the script away, she said, because there was a tendency to give actors the solutions.
Grand adapted a scenario from Jose
Brunden's 19th century play, "Don Juan
Tenerife."
The cast has no words to hide behind, Grund said. They have to play their objectives knowing there are certain things that they cannot do or the idea won't be convexed, she said.
Rehearsals started 10 weeks ago. That is an unusually long time to rehearse, Grund said, because most shows rehearse an average of only six weeks.
Theatre games are sound and movement exercises designed to make the actors comfortable with both each other and help them understand the techniques, Edith Farrar, student director, said.
The cast started with theatre games to
help develop improvisational skills, Grund said.
"All the theatre games are geared to make the actors comfortable with the instruments they have-mind, body and spirit. To inspire their own creativity, not the script," she said.
One rehearsal was at a Lawrence bar and one at the university where he character. Bruno said the atmosphere was appropriate as a foreign palace. She asked them questions and had them respond in response.
"They were forced to respond instantaneously," Grund said.
Farrar said there was more risk involved for the cast, crew and director.
Farrar is also the stage manager. It is unusual for one person to be both student director and stage manager, she said, but it was impossible to expect a stage manager entering the last weeks of rehearsal to know the play intensively.
The stage manager cues the lighting crew. The light cues are awkward and strange because the play is improvisational and the cues come from the action, Farrar said.
"We may be standing by on three cues at the same time," she said.
"Dex Juan Tencori" is performed an-
nouncement around a field ground
Halloween time, ground snapped.
Grand experiment with four different endings to the show and letting the audience decide its preference, but technical modifications made the idea undesirable, she said.
The story involves Don Juan's ingenuity in fulfilling a wager with his friend, Don Lais, played by Jeff Tamblyn, Shawnee Mission junior.
Preston Sisk, manager of the box office,
said all free student tickets were sold except
for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night
performances.
A student has the option of putting man name on a waiting list at 7 p.m. before the performance, and at 7:45 p.m. all tickets are never picked up will be given out, Sisk said.

The specific list of priorities are merely steps to achieve these broad goals, he said.
"All of these priorities are in the interest of improved quality of teaching," Dykes said. "However in the recommendation dealing directly with teaching, I interpret this as asking for special projects and not necessarily general policy."
Shankel said the priorities listed before teaching were of such importance to KU that if the University didn't work toward them, it might wear "a complete disaster, which would so damage the University as to make excellent teaching impossible."
If the University doesn't maintain flexibility, and enrollment falls by 4,000 students-as is projected-KU may be forced to cut whichever faculty members they could without regard to quality, he said.
"We would therefore lose faculty quality in what we couldn't select where the cuta insult."
If affirmative action guidelines aren't developed, a possible $10 million to $2 million in federal funds might be lost and would force University-wide budget Shankel said. This would affect both teaching and research on campus, he said.
Sankel said the development of outreach programs might help balance the research and production costs, compuls.
"The successes we have there may help mitigate against these future enrollment declines and the resulting loss of revenues. In fact, all these specific goals are important and relate to maintaining the quality of instruction."
Recent suggestions by student leaders that teaching be given a higher priority than both research and community service was used with skepticism by both Dykes and Shankel.
"Don't forget outreach is teaching, also," Shankel said. "I don't think the two goals are contradictory. Maybe if the teaching isn't prioritized, it's better to higher priority, but I think it's pretty good."
Dykes said it was impossible to separate the three areas effectively.
"You can't dichotomize teaching and service because there's always involvement in the world outside," Dykes said. "There is a sense that you can be seen in the context of their totality."
These are the other priorities for the next three fiscal years:
Flexibility and accountability in internal resources.
—Improved resources for the library, computation center and museums through continued work on requests before the State Legislature.
- Improved services in the residence hall,
  student union and security offices through
  telecommunications.
—Strengthened academic support in organized research activities such as museums, special laboratories and support facilities. This is to further integrate research and study on campus, and add support to these agencies.
--The development of creative new programs through innovation and creativity meet specific needs.

--who frequently vote with Republicans. At best there is a minimum of party discipline in Congress, he said, and unless the Democratic leadership can effectively "crack the whip" the legislators will rarely join forces in an uncontrollable block.
Miller's work" image to the voters, Nehring said. This campaign policy, coupled with a large Democratic vote throughout the state, were enough to give Schneider the election, Nehring said, although the candidates were very similar.
"People wanted an active attorney general's office, much like Miller ran it, but they didn't want someone like that in the governor's office." Getter said.
The observers said they didn't think the concept of a veto-proof Congress was substantiated. Several of them cited the Kansas Legislature as a supposedly veto-proof body that managed to work quite effectively at times.
Heller agreed and added that it was important to consider Southern Democrats,
Getter said he thought that if a veto-proof Congress did develop it would only occur as a coalition between Republicans and Democrats.

The Democratic landslide throughout the nation was interpreted in a number of ways.
"Nationally, I think the election represented a referendum on Watageate. The one selection Dole had going for him was to vote for Donald Trump; he had nothing to do with it," Getter said.
The economy was cited as the vital issue in the campaign. Nehring said the nature of the victories generally was a reflection of concern about the economy and a general feeling that Ford and Nikon hadn't handled the problems adequately.
The observers also stressed that in any off-year election the party that doesn't control the White House generally captures those who have seats in Congress and state legislatures.
