Musical show given by student nurses
by Mike Shurtz Kansan Staff Reporter
Noticing the popularity of skits in their money-making carnivals, the KU Medical Center student nurses some time ago decided to stage an annual musical comedy.
This year's production of Caduceus Capers, "What a Happening," has been five months in preparation, and was written and produced by the nurses. A production staff of about 150 students is working with a 40-member cast, all students at the Medical Center.
The script for the three-act musical was written by Susie Jordan, Columbus senior, and twelve assistants. The script was completed at Christmas, and casting and rehearsals began at the start of this semester.
Foreign students plan festival
A bazaar booth organized by the KU World University Service (WUS) Committee is a new feature of this year's International Festival, March 31.
The WUS committee is asking for items from abroad to be donated for sale at the Festival. Proceeds will go to overseas colleges and universities.
The Festival, now in its 15th year, will be presented by the more than 600 KU foreign students and their families. It will be the culminating event of the Festival of the Arts Week. Festival exhibits will open at 6 p.m., and a cultural program is scheduled for 8 p.m.
Trophies will be awarded for the winning exhibit and program number. Chairman of the Festival steering committee is Everold Hosein, a junior from Trinidad. Committee chairmen include Sarmad Kamran, Iran, program committee; Khalid Sahib, Iraq graduate student, exhibits committee; and Linda McCrerey, Honolulu, Hawaii, sophomore, publicity committee. Hosein will be the master of ceremonies.
The musical is the story of an "inter-disciplinary" health team, consisting of medical students and doctors, who make a house call at the "hippie" home of the Flower family.
Their first visit at the Flower home is a bad trip; they have no success in curing the mental and moral problems of the family. Geraldine, played by Miss Jordan, decides to become a nurse and join the team.
The "renowned Dr. Jimmy Bower," played by guest actor Jimmy Bower, bartender at a nearby Kansas City bar, later gives Geraldine psychiatric help when she becomes depressed about her work.
After mysteriously experiencing "The Happening," the health team realizes that to help the family they must experience life as the Flowers live it.
Performances for the public will be at 8 p.m. March 8 and 9, in Battenfeld Auditorium, Rainbow and Olathe Boulevard, Kansas City.
Spring term enrollment down by 774
Early enrollment figures show KU has lost 774 students since the fall semester, Ray Nichols, vicechancellor of finance, said Wednesday.
Totals for the Lawrence campus were 15,791 last fall compared to 15,017 this semester. Students at the University of Kansas Medical Center were not included in the totals.
Nichols said the current term's figure was tallied after students paid their fees and would increase slightly after late enrollees were processed.
Loans to new high?
Loan fund use at KU may reach a new high this year with 2,836 loans totaling $938,900 made to students on the Lawrence campus during the first semester of the academic year.
KU is twelfth in schools producing Wilson fellows
A report issued by the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship Foundation of Princeton, N.J., shows that from 1945 through 1967 the University of Kansas had 163 fellowship winners. With this year's Woodrow Wilson Designates, the total has reached 182.
The University of Kansas ranks among the top dozen undergraduate institutions for production of Woodrow Wilson fellows.
Woodrow Wilson Fellows, now called Designates, are chosen in nationwide competition on the basis of their potential as future college teachers.
The top dozen nationally, in order, are: Harvard (444), Princeton (420), Cornell (285), Yale (279), Toronto (257), California at Berkeley (228), Chicago (208).
Columbia (202), Oberlin (196),
Stanford (190), and Kansas (182).
In totals of Designates for 1968 alone, Kansas ranks in a tie with California at Berkeley, for sixth, behind Princeton, Cornell, Michigan, Toronto, and Rice.
