Film castings
★ ★ ★ ★
Audition for an hour long television show, "Campus Talent '67." will be held at 1 p.m. this Sunday in the Choral Rehearsal Room at Murphy Hall.
★ ★ ★ ★
The show, sponsored by Southwestern Bell Telephone Co., will be seen on television stations throughout the state this spring.
Interested students are asked to provide one number and their own accompaniment for the audition. A public address system with turntable will be available.
THOSE PERFORMERS selected will be paid a professional fee. In addition, background music is arranged and recorded by a professional orchestra.
The format of the show is along popular musical and variety tastes. Occasionally it features classical artists, but no ethnic folks groups or dramatic readings are included.
The program is not a talent contest or amateur show. It is a representative selection of student performers in the variety arts from the state.
Some KU students may be in the film version of "In Cold Blood."
Richard Brooks will produce and direct the film. He will be here late this week to audition several KU drama students, according to Lewin Goff, director of the University Theatre.
"He is interested in some speci- cise people for some of the major parts—those of the Clutter family and the boyfriend," said Goff.
RICHARD McCANN, associate professor of journalism, conceived the idea last summer when he asked Brooks if his film production class could watch the filming of location shots for the movie which will be taken near Olathe.
"Brooks gave us permission, and, in addition, asked if he could do some casting while he was here," McCann said.
Brooks visited the campus in November and watched some of the KU actors doing acting exercises.
Brooks, who won the Academy Award for directing "Elmer Gantry" in 1961, will begin shooting the movie in April.

tors," he said. "The bill on the 'Jayhawker' provides for a cash salary for the editor and business manager. If the 'Jayhawker' for the year in question makes a profit, it has been the custom to give a bonus to the editor and business manager, subject to the approval of the ASC.
"I DONT KNOW what the recommendations will be or what the Board will do about it," he concluded.

"I anticipate that we will get all three of the last issues out this semester," said Biles.
"We've got probably two-thirds of the second book put together in the last two weeks," he said. "I'll take a 0.5 to get these books out. They've got to be out."
WHEN ASKED WHAT problems have held up the publication and distribution of the yearbook, Biles explained.
"First of all, the biggest problem we've has is photography. This started way back in August when the photographer we were going to have found out he wasn't returning to KU, and we had to get a new one.
"It's very tense trying to get a photographer right off the bat, and we got a freshman.
TIME WAS AN important factor because the photographer enrolled in honor courses in the afternoon, which kept him from
"We've had the same problem to a certain degree with our art director. He's very competent and knows what he's doing, but he has not had experience before, just like the photographer, on yearbooks."
always being available. This semester a second photographer is also working for the Jayhawker, and the original one has a better class schedule.
Biles explained how he is trying to prevent similar situations on the 1968 Jayhawker.
"He's available every day after 1 p.m." Biles said.
"TIM TRYING to line up a photographer and art director for next year's editor so he doesn't have this problem."
Biles mentioned that he encountered some expected problems at the start of the new semester.
"We had some people quit, some people had different schedules, a couple of girls had to student teach, and this sort of thing. The main area that we were behind in is just photography, but if you have just one picture missing, that holds up the production of the book.
"That's the whole problem. Its no sob story or anything and I'll take full responsibility for not getting it out."
Biles explained what he though would be expected of him this Friday afternoon at the Jayhawk-er Advisory Board meeting.
"AS FAR AS THE meeting goes, all I know they want is a progress report of where I stand now, and what I have to do. Also, I'll give them a schedule of what we think we're going to do in the future."

ASSUMING THAT neighboring states would probably accept Daylight Savings, many people objected to the bill because "we just wouldn't be in step with anyone else."
TV AUDITIONS
William A. Bailey, former editor and publisher of the Kansas City Kansan, said, "As long as Missouri and the surrounding states are going to Daylight Savings Time, Kansas shouldn't do anything else.
"I think the time in this area, and the country ought to be synchronized." Bailey said.
Many states in the past have made separate decisions on whether or not to adopt Daylight Savings, and cities have acted independently, too.
"I'm happy to see that Kansas decided to stay in the Union," said J. Eldon Fields, professor of Political Science at KU.
"I DON'T THINK it will make any difference," commented Cille Resnik, Whitewater sophomore.
THE GENERAL ARGUMENT against the bill continued.
... Newspapers and industries in metropolitan areas, stockmarkets, and transportation facilities would become fouled up in relation to other areas if they weren't operating on the same schedule. . . .
When the bill to reject Daylight Savings came before the house, the opposition won, 71-44.
Statewide television program to be seen in the Spring of 1967 auditioning for campus talent—vocalists, musicians, groups, dancers, variety acts.
"Of course, the mornings will come earlier, and the evenings will be longer, and—as final week approaches—a little noisier," noted James K. Hitt, registrar.
And with those earlier mornings and delightful spring evenings, the student will groan for that last month of school, and "climb that hill" for the umpteenth time, trying to make it to his . . . 7:30.
