'Payment' opens tomorrow
Voodoo, Catholicism and a hero who drags a cross 25 miles to keep a promise are just a few of the elements to be found in KU's production of "Payment As Promised" by Dias Gomes which opens at 8:20 p.m. Wednesday in the Experimental Theatre.
"The play is social criticism," said Fredric Litto, acting assistant professor of speech and drama and director of the play. "Although much of the play criticizes narrow-minded clergymen, it is not anti-Catholic. The play is against all exploitative elements in society."
"Dias Gomes is probably the most important playwright in
Computer talk is Wednesday
Litto, who taught at the University of Brazil last summer and did research on censorship in Brazil, tried to see that the props and costumes for the show are authentic. He brought several instruments from Brazil which are used in a voodoo dance scene in the play.
A computer science lecture will be given at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in room 306 Summerfield by Charles F. Weinaug, KU professor of petroleum engineering.

Sucker lists swamp grads as Commencement nears
By Ron Yates Kansan Staff Reporter
"Sucker lists" are rampant again.
As graduation draws nearer, KU seniors, and to a lesser extent other KU students, are being bombarded with credit card applications, charge account forms, insurance policy data and "special" offers through the mail.
Students who have received literature such as this are on what is known in the mail order world as a "sucker list." Nothing can be done by the individual to stop this literature which invades his mailbox. All he can do is throw it away.
How companies get the names of graduating seniors and other students is still a mystery, though James K. Hitt, registrar, said students' names are probably taken out of the KU student directory.
Hitt said KU does not give or sell any lists which have students' names on them to anyone.
We release stories to news media with the names of graduating seniors, but that is all, Hitt said. The addresses and telephone numbers of students are not included on these releases, he said.
Evidently, someone goes to a lot of trouble to comb through the KU directory, which has more than 15,000 students listed, extracting the names of seniors. Graduating seniors apparently cannot be differentiated as students listed as seniors but who are not graduating also find that their names are apparently on several "sucker lists."
After the lists are compiled they are then sold to companies who use them to send their advertisement to the students.

"Sucker lists" multiply quickly and grow larger during the months before graduation. This is when students begin to find out what it is like to be on the receiving end of the mail order business when it is operating at full speed.
