Drama Group Will Perform In Europe
Six KU drama students and their instructor will leave for Czechoslovakia, April 5—to be the first American group to that country under the international Cultural Exchange program with Eastern European countries.
The students, who will present scenes from four plays, are Sylvia Groth, Maryville, N.D., graduate student; Richard Caskey, Overland Park sophomore; Gigi Gibson, Independence senior; Theora Weddingfield, Norfolk, Neb.; senior; Steve Callahan, Independence graduate student, and Bill Bowersock, Shawnee Mission sophomore.
Gordon Beck, instructor of Speech and drama, mentioned that the costs of the tour, which includes seven countries besides Czechoslovakia, will be paid for by the United States State Department.
Last year was the first time a KU group toured Eastern Europe. They visited Poland, Rumania and Yugoslavia, but not Czechoslovakia.
THIS YEAR THE students will present scenes from Moliere the "Tartuffe," Murray Schisgal's "Luv," Krzlev's "In Agony," Wallace Johnson's "What Did You Learn in School Today?" and Pirandello's "Six Characters in Search of an Author." They will also do several improvisation exercises and perform some scenes from American musicals.
"Originally we had planned to spend only a week in Czechoslovakia," Beck said, "but now we will be staying a week in Prague, the capital, and a week in Bratislava."
The students will also visit Madrid, Spain; Rome and Trieste, Italy; Zagreb, Yugoslavia; Warsaw, Poland; Vienna, Austria; Paris and London. In addition, the KU group received an invitation to perform for a student group in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and an invitation to record in Cologne, Germany.
In Madrid, Rome, Paris and London, the students will be the guests of the International Theatre Institute, an organization attached to the United Nations Economic, Social and Cultural Organization.

NEA Criticizes Teacher Strikes
Strikes should not be available to teachers or members in the school system, according to the Education Policy Committee of the National Education Association (NEA), Dr. Carl Knox, Lawrence superintendent of schools said last night at a meeting of the KU chapter of the Student National Education Association.
The NEA Policy Committee feels that teachers should be free of ties with any economic segment of our society, Knox said, since they are serving children of parents from all segments.
Also, Knox said, unions might have a mistrust for management and the unity of the teaching profession. School supervisors would not be permitted to join unions, which would disrupt the teamwork for necessary communications and tend to reduce the efficient learning operation.
THE NEA EDUCATION Policy Committee believes that internal problems should be dissolved through professional negotiation, Knox said.
Three years ago, Knox said, the Kansas State Teachers Association (KSTA), appointed a committee to investigate professional negotiation. They have established a set of principles and proposals that are designed for teachers.
He pointed out that it enables them to reach suitable agreements and to establish appropriate channels to negotiate with when normal channels fail.
THESE PRINCIPLES and proposals are designed for teachers and school boards to use in communicating on common terms. Knox said.
This program has been adopted by the KSTA and commended to local associations. The Kansas Association of School Boards has approved this for publication for its members.
IF THIS APPROACH does not work, Knox said, the state board of education or some other government
agency should intervene so as not to hinder the educational process. "Strikes place the child's education in jeopardy," Knox said.
Newly elected NEA officers include: Rosemary Barfield, Leavenworth junior, president; Joanna Shrader, Great Bend junior, first vice president; Larry Stice, Oswego junior, second vice president; Connie Gilbert, Kansas City, Kan.,Junior, secretary; and Sherry Long, Humboldt sophomore, treasurer.
