The public will not see Jean Anouilh's three-act play until it opens the University Theatre Series Oct. 7 and 8, 14 and 15.
GEORGE PARO OF the Academy of Dramatic Arts, Zagraeb, Yugslavia, is guest director of the production. The cast includes five members of the KU Resident Acting Company, who will be featured in the fall series.
They are Julia Callahan, Baldwin graduate student; Sean Griffin, South Bend. Ind., graduate student; Jo Anna Schneider, Lawrence (former Broadway actress); Dennis L. Dalen, St. Louis Park, Minn., graduate student, and Linda McDonald, Overland Park graduate student.
Other members of the cast are Bob Bettcher, Wilmette, Ill., junior; Kip Niven, Prairie Village senior; Jim Woods, Topeka graduate student; Douglas Curtis, Dodge City junior, and Bob Stewart, Sharon Hill, Pa., junior.
"THE REHEARSAL" is set in the mid-20th century, but its characters slip gradually into the past. The count presents a performance of Marivaux's "Double Inconstancy," casting and costuming himself, his wife, his mistress, and his wife's lover in the major roles. The costumed characters assume the cynicism of Marivaux's period as they wait for rehearsal cues.
A pretty young girl, superviser of 12 little orphans, fatally lures the men. The count, recalling his lost youth, falls in love with her. The countess induces a family friend, and roue, to seduce the girl and destroy her affair with the count. But the girl arouses the roue to memories of his first and only true love. In despair, he invites a duel with the count and certain death.
Baritone is given grant for study
Roger M. Riley, a June graduate in music education, is among the original group to receive $1,-000 awards from the National Endowment for the Arts to further their careers.
The $1,000 grants are to encourage young musicians and other artists to "go to centers of performance, to make contacts in the field, and further their careers."
Riley is a bass-baritone. He has sung in several School of Fine Arts honor recitals and has been a frequent soloist with KU music organizations and a principal in operas here. His most recent role was that of the father in Douglas Moore's opera "Carry Nation," which had its world premiere here this spring.
Grant will assist study by Michener
The National Science Foundation has made a grant of $13,200 to KU to assist Charles D. Michener. Watkins professor of entomology, with field work in Africa on his study of Halictine bees. He is on a year's leave of absence.
Michener, who is the only Kansan to hold membership in the National Academy of Sciences, also received a Guggenheim Fellowship for this study. Dr. Michener and family left last month for Cameroun. He also will do field work in Nigeria and Kenya.

Ticket price increase is poll topic
By John Casady
"What is you reaction to the increase in price of student season football tickets to $5?" This question was posed to students on the KU campus following a decision by the athletic administration to increase the price of student football tickets to help pay for the expansion of Memorial Stadium.
Paul Widick, Atchison senior,
said, "Right offhand I'd say that
it seems a little illogical to pay
five bucks to see a football team
that was only two for ten last
season when you can see KU's
basketball team play for free. I
did buy a ticket though—not
because I want to see our team,
but because the games are a lot of
fun even if the football isn't too
good."
Craig Shaw, Shawnee Mission sophomore, said, "I'm certainly not in favor of having the price of anything raised, but if the stadium expansion creates better seats for underclassmen, I suppose it's worth it."
LINDA VOORHEES. Wyandotte senior, said, "Actually, it's still pretty cheap entertainment. Win or lose, football games are always a good time."
Mike Borders, Prairie Village sophomore, said, "Intercollegiate sports have become big business, so naturally somebody has to pay for it. If they didn't raise the ticket prices, they would have to get the money from the University. I think it's better to have the people who go to the games support the financial end of the thing than to take it out of everyone's tuition."
Blake Biles, Hutchinson junior, said, "It's a bad year to raise ticket prices since we only have four home games. I don't think the ticket sales were too good because of this."
MIKE McNALLY, Bartlesville, Okla., senior, said, "I didn't mind it too much. I hope we get better seats, though."
Carole Cour, El Dorado senior, said, "I imagine it was necessary. The University is growing and the price of everything is going up. Also, I think it's a good thing to have more student seats above the center of the field."
LBJ is off to greet the voters
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—President Johnson feels it is part of a president's job to "go out into the country to meet the people," and he is going to do just that this weekend with a campaign style swing through four states.
The Chief Executive has spoken of visiting all 50 states before the November election. He told his news conference this week he would "take advantage of every opportunity to go out into the country to discuss our programs, our convictions and to tell them what we stand for, and ask for their support."
FOR STARTERS, Johnson said that on Saturday he would go to Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois and Indiana to visit a military installation, help Indiana celebrate its 150 birthday and sign a bill setting up a new national monument.
the tentative schedule issued by the White House showed principal presidential stops at Indianapolis and Vineennes, Ind., and at Ft. Campbell, Ky., with an airport stopover at Lawrenceville, Ill.
The schedule showed no stop in Tennessee, despite the President's statement, but Ft. Campbell is located on the Tennessee-Kentucky line.
"I . . . RECOGNIZE this is an election year," Johnson said. "I will be called upon to visit various parts of the country. I expect to do so . . . I think a part of the president's job is to go out into the country to meet the people, to talk to them, and to exchange viewpoints with them."

Language study draws 83 to KU
Covering a year's material in a college course in 10 weeks is demanding, but when the subject is the Chinese or Japanese language, extra concentration is required.
Eighty-three students are now enrolled in the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) Summer Language in Chinese and Japanese at the University of Kansas. The institute, the only one of its kind in the midwestern area, will end Aug. 20.
The institute is in cooperation with Washington University at St. Louis, Mo., where it was held last year. There are only five other similar institutes in the United States.
There are four levels of Chinese and two levels of Japanese offered during the summer session. The students are either incoming freshmen, college, or graduate students. They all receive 10 hours of credit for their summer work.
Instructors for the institute are from the KU and Washington University faculties along with three teaching assistants. Director of the institute this year is Thomas R. Smith, chairman of the East Asian Area Studies.
