Yugoslav director ends Oread visit
The director of a Yugoslav avant-garde theatre company frequently playing such international playwrights as T. S. Elliot, Jean Paul Sartre and Henry James visited the University of Kansas Theatre this week.
She is Mrs. Miro Trailovic, manager, artistic director and one of six founders of Atelje 212, who recently met Prof. Tom Rea, assistant director of the University Theatre in Belgrade.
Rea was accompanying six student actors presenting "Theatre Today" (a medley of Broadway hits) in Rumania, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia under State Department sponsorship. Mrs. Trailovic told him her company had been invited to perform in the Lincoln Center Festival '68 in New York City this summer.
Emphasizing creativity and experimentation, Atelje 212 was so named because its original hall would seat 212. The name remains, however, even after a modern 400-capacity house was erected in 1964, complete with spacious stage, handsome foyer, basement scenery storage space and other improvements. The city of Belgrade furnished funds
for the design by Bojan Stupica,
well-known Yuzoslav director.
A PIONEER in its field, the still relatively small theatre provides the setting for fiery discussions in dramatics. Renowned playwrights and authors visiting Belgrade frequently accept an invitation to lecture on Atelje's platform. Among those who have spoken there are Jean - Paul Sartre, Arnold Wesker, Angus Wilson and Julian Beck.
The drama that Mrs. Trailovic considers the greatest success in Belgrade is Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" which she opened two months after its October 1962 Broadway debut and kept on the boards four years.
IN ADDITION to heading Atelje 212, Mrs. Trailovic produces shows for Belgrade Radio and TV and teaches at the Belgrade Academy of Theatre.
At the morning lecture, Mrs. Trailovic spoke about current theatre trends in Yugoslavia and Eastern Europe. That afternoon, she told about her theatre company, its operations, objectives, styles and performances at the Lincoln Center.
Two KU geology profs to teach at WSU this year
Philip H. Heckel and Curtis D. Conley, both of the Geologic Research Section, the State Geological Survey at KU, have been appointed visiting professors at Wichita State University.
Jack Blythe, chairman of the WSU Department of Geology and Geography, and Frank C. Foley, director of the State Geological Survey, jointly announced these appointments. The Lawrence geologists will alternate in teaching "Special Studies: Carbonate Petrography and Environments," during the academic year 1968-69. The course will meet Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:20 p.m. in McKinley Hall on the WSU campus.
Heckel and Conley became number two and three of the State Survey staff to teach at Wichita State. Their Section Chief, Daniel F. Merriman, journeyed to Wichita on Wednesdays during the Spring term of 1688 to handle an evening course called "Computer Techniques in Geology."
Heckel, a 1960 graduate of Amherst College with the Ph.D. from Rice University, joined the Kansas Survey in 1965. Conley graduated in 1952 from the Colorado School of Mines. He earned the Ph.D. in geology at The University of Wyoming in 1964, spent three years in Libya, with Oasis Oil Company of Libya, Inc., and came to the Kansas Survey in 1967.
