ABC cast KU students for 'Campus Talent' show
"Has everyone filled out this questionnaire?" Over and over, director Jon Stainbrook asked this of a scattered crowd in Swarthout Recital Hall.
Some appeared confident, others noticeably hesitant about auditioning for the upcoming "Campus Talent '67" television show.
STAINBROOK, of Houston's Corinthian Special Productions,
outlined a new approach in this year's "Campus Talent." Last year's program," he said, "had geographical emphasis," with representatives from most major Kansas colleges. This year's program will represent Kansas as a whole. He hopes to "raise the talent standards" and, by so doing, to "upgrade the program culturally." There will also be more
Two programs will be produced this year, the fall program in January, and the spring one in May.

Longer locks, beards mark theater season
"No haircuts without the director's permission. Men can start growing beards now," reads Murphy's Green Room bulletin board.
Casting for "The Rogue's Trial" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" has been completed by Fredric Litto and Jed Davis, directors.
"THE ROGUE'S Trial," a rollicking Brazilian comedy by Ariano Suassuna, is, in the words of translator Dillwyn F. Ratcliff, "seasoned with more than a dash of satire.
"Suassuna is forthright and emphatic, but not bitter. He directs his shafts at the affluent, takes a few cheerful sideswipes at court procedure and legalistic quibbling, at bureaucratic nonfeasance, at Christians who are ignorant of the Bible, at race prejudice and the like."

Lectures center on African issues
African problems offer subjects for lectures today through October 12, here, by American Universities Field Staffer (AUFS), Victor D. DuBois.
DuBois will speak to social science, journalism and geography classes on subjects ranging from "The Mystique of Revolution in Black Africa" to "U.S. Foreign Policy in Africa."
This is being done in agreement with Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, sponsor of four biannual programs, having one rerun each. Similar plans are being conducted in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas.
The AUFS offers funds for scholars to work in various geographical areas and schedules lectures at American colleges and universities.
KSU gets store
Selective Service to test students
Students who intend to take the College Qualification Test, may do so by applying at Selective Service System local boards.
A book store may become a reality at the Kansas State University Student Union within the next three years, Vern Solback, concession director at the union, said.
A Bulletin of Information for the test will also be given. Following instructions in the bulletin, the student fills out his application and mails it immediately in the envelope provided to Selective Service Examining Section, Educational Testing Service. P.O. Box 988, Princeton, N.J.
The test, to be administered Nov. 18-19, will be given to eligible students who complete the application card.
Applications for the test must be postmarked no later than Oct. 21.
Trial" will be December 7-10 and 13-16.
"SNOW WHITE," the ageless American fantasy by Jesse Braham White, will be performed December 1-3 and later on tour.
A record number of 213 students participated in the first open auditions for this season's plays. Final casting for "Oliver" and "School for Scandal" is incomplete.
This year's theatrical plans include five major University Theater productions, five Experimental Theater productions and two Children's Series productions.
Also on the theatre's slate is a possible European tour with the production of "Theater, U.S.A."
"These programs sometimes lead to a theatrical breakthrough," Stainbrook said. A Texas participant later appeared on "The Jackie Gleason Show" and is now a singer in New York.
ONE OKLAHOMA girl went directly to New York to do some summer stock, and another became a recording artist.
ABC's mobile unit will film KU's segment of the program during the week of October 23.
KU students, picked from 300-400 Kansas applicants, are: Shirley Williams, popular singing artist; Anthony Cius Jr., pianist; and a Dixieland Band with Irene Ballinger, vocalist; and Jim Woods, dancer.

All the king's horses may put Humpty together
NEW YORK—(UPI)—All the Whitney's men are wondering today how to put "Humpty Dumpty" together again.
It was the first Sunday the new Whitney Museum of American art was opened to the public, and more than 5.000 jammed inside to view the exhibit, "Art of the United States: 1670-1966."
Nobody knows what happened, but Isamu Noguchi's free-standing sculpture, "Humpty Dumpty," had a great fall.
One of the legs of the sculpture, done by the American-born artist in 1964, was shattered. A guard said it might have been toppled
over by high-spirited children.
Curator Jack Gordon said officials would try to determine today how best to repair the slate assemblage, valued at $10,000. It was insured.
