Javhawker Covers Available
Jayhawker covers and permanent receipts will be available at the Jayhawker office in the Kansas Union any weekday from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m. for those students who were not able to pick them up at the information booth Monday and Tuesday.
Bob Burkhart, Kirkwood, Mo., junior and Jayhawker business manager, said it is important that students get these now, as they will not be issued at the information booth when the first section of the yearbook becomes available later this fall.
Students will need their I.D. cards to obtain their covers and receipts.
Bells Sound Again
The Campanile bells, a welcome sound toward the end of class or a dreaded one when they tell a student he's late to class, are back on schedule.
Albert C. Gerken, University carillonneur, said the bells have not been heard for the past few weeks due to a faulty part of the mechanism that keeps the actual timing.
A bell foundry in England offered the solution to the KU Buildings and Grounds department, and the bells have resumed ringing every quarter hour.
The campanile which houses the bells, and Memorial Drive where it is located, were a gift to KU from alumni, students and friends in 1951.
Parents' Day Plans Outlined
Families of the 3.425 new undergraduate students at the University of Kansas have been invited to the annual Parents' Day program and open houses Saturday.
A special section of reserved seats has been set aside for parents at the Kansas-Colorado football game that afternoon.
All schools, departments and divisions of the University will be open Saturday morning to receive visitors. A panel of faculty and staff members will be in the Kansas Union lounge during the morning to answer questions. There will also be representatives of academic and student service offices.
A football highlights film will be shown throughout the morning in the Union's Trophy Room, and the Kansas Designer-Craftsman show and National Invitational Print exhibit will also be in the Union.
Parents of students in residence halls and organized houses will be luncheon guests of their sons or daughters. A buffet luncheon in the Union will be available for others.
Harvard Prof. to Lecture on Ethics
Dr. Charles L. Stevenson, professor from the University of Michigan and currently a visiting professor at Harvard, will discuss "Ethical Fallibility" in the second Ethics and Society lecture.
Prof. Stevenson's lecture will be at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
The Ethics and Society series is sponsored by the department of philosophy and is open to the public without charge.
Prof. Stevenson has earned degrees from Yale, Cambridge and Harvard Universities. He is a former Guggenheim fellow and was president of the eastern division of the American Philosophical Association, 1961-62.
Centuries of Polish Theater Reflect Political Struggles
"A book will be awarded to the girl with the highest average." Karen Shoop, St. John senior and president of the IRC, said. "This award will go to the three-pointers with the most class hours."

The seeds of Polish theater were planted in the 13th century but Poland has seen its drama flourish and die twice before becoming fully rooted after World War II.
Janusz Warminski, director of the Atenue Theater in Warsaw, traced the history of Polish theater in a lecture yesterday afternoon. He spoke at the second meeting in a series of four colloquiums in speech and drama.
Invitations for the biannual event were sent out to over 130 girls who live in the upper class women's residence halls and scholarship halls. The dessert will be at 7:30 p.m.
THE HISTORY OF Poland's theater reflects that country's involvement in political struggles.
Beauty and brains will be combined this evening as women students living in university residence halls who made a 2.5 grade point average or over last semester will be honored at the Inter-Residence Hall Council Scholarship Dessert.
"Our tradition is a vivid one," Warminski said. "The theater has been constantly disrupted by politics. That is why our theater is still young, even though the first drama was written seven centuries ago."
A traveling trophy will be awarded to Sellards Hall for the highest grade average. Their average of 2.17 was the highest average recorded by any living group on campus for the spring semester of the 1963-64 school year.
By the 18th century, the first public theaters had been built in Poland. Foreign actors played the first important role in theater culture—English actors introduced Shakespeare and Marlowe, and Italian opera was a popular entertainment.
IN 1765 THE "three rising stars", Russia, Austria and Prussia, divided Poland and extinguished its independence. Paradoxically, the first national theater was formed at this time, Warminski said.
Scholars Mix Beauty, Brains

The hallmark of Polish theater became its forceful engagement with politics, he said.
THEATERS CAME under state control in the late 19th century, and drama developed without obstacles until World War II.
Drama became more imaginative and avante garde movements developed. A union of Polish Stage Artists was formed. Private theaters were opened, and stage and costume design flourished.
In 1939 "again the whole edifice came tumbling down," Warminski said. "War shattered theater in Poland."
Theater faded from 1846 to 1864 as Poland rose against Russia. The rebellion failed and playwrights and authors went into exile. Literature written during this period was banned. Warminski said.
AT THIS TIME, an "underground theater" began. "Not one month of the five war years passed without at least one theater performance," he said. "Theatrical life burgeoned with unprecedented enthusiasm."
During the war, many actors were murdered by the Gestapo or died in concentration camps, he said.
After the战, theaters were nationalized and the theater progress was steady. Theaters, concert halls, and opera houses were rebuilt. Drama festivals were organized and contemporary playwrights sprang up everywhere.
PLAYWRIGHTS WERE preoccupied with the meaning of life, the individual's place in the world, new morals and the doctrine of existentialism. Warminski attributed this concern to the period of de-Stalini-ization.
Drama was characterized by metaphorical wording and far-reaching generalizations. "The new drama was a complete reaction to the former bourgeois theater," Warminski said.
WARMINSKI POINTS to Slawomir Mrozek as the symbol of contemporary Polish playwrights, "He points out the grotesque in order to strike the heaviest blows at a bourgeois society."
Polish theater has finally entered "settled waters," Warminski said. It is an established cultural institution.
Directors and playwrights in Poland feel that the theater should perform a social and moral function by educating society. "These ideas are principles that have evolved through the centuries," he said.
