"Woolf" Leers Appreciated
Like seasoned New York audiences, those attending the KU production of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" accepted ribald words
Strings Sing Famous Conductor Leads Young Players
More than 150 high school musicians rehearsed Saturday under the baton of Sir John Barbirolli, conductor of the Houston Symphony Orchestra.
The Regional String Conference was sponsored by the KU String Department and the Kansas Chapter of the American String Teachers Association to give the students the opportunity to work under "one of the greatest artists in the world," Raymond Stuhl, associate professor of string instruments, said.
PROF. STUHL described the conference as "strictly a learning situation," although the rehearsals were open to the public. The rehearsal was planned so that students and instructors could see how a renowned conductor proceeds with the musical development of an orchestral group.
The musicians, representing the best of five youth orchestras from seven states, spent four hours rehearsing "Suite for Strings" by Purcell and "Serenade for Strings" by Tschaikowsky.
Prof. Stuhl said the regional orchestra was the largest group of its kind ever to be assembled in the Midwest. Each musician had had at least three years of private lessons and had performed with one or more school or civic ensembles.
BARBIROLLI WAS appointed conductor of the New York Philharmonic by Arturo Toscanini and held that position from 1936 to 1943. In 1949 he was knighted for re-establishing the Halle Orchestra in Manchester, England, and he is still conductor-in-chief for that orchestra.

"It could have been shocking or vulgar," said Lewin Goff, professor of speech and drama and University Theatre director, "but by minimizing gross gestures and cutting a few lines the personality of the characters remain. In this aspect, the KU production was better than a professional performance as it did not rely on shocking the audience."
JACK BROOKING, professor of speech and drama, who directed the play, said audience response to shifts from humor to serious movements was excellent. He agreed with Prof. Goff that there were few criticisms about the choice and necessity of various words and phrases.
After Wednesday only standing room tickets were sold for the Friday and Saturday night performances. Prof. Goff said that a sellout is unusual for this time of year when audience attendance is generally low.
Other performances are scheduled in Murphy Hall in upcoming weeks.
The Experimental Theatre will present "Two for the Seesaw" beginning Thursday through Feb. 26. Following this will be three plays presented by the members of the KU Resident Company March 14-19. "The Taming of the Shrew" will be the first production followed by "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "The Bed Bug."
The resident actors will appear in at least two roles during the five days. They will be judged by drama critics from several New York papers, the Saturday Review, the Kansas City Star, the Christian Science Monitor, and other papers, Prof. Goff said.
No Fink For Her
FINK, Tex.—(UPI)—Residents of this tiny North Texas community have little sympathy with Mrs. Shirley Madeline Fink, who wants court permission to change her name so she will not be referred to as a "fink."
