VOICE OF FREEDOM
Justin Liuba, a senior editor for Radio Free Europe (right), records comments by Leslie Marshall, Overland Park senior and member of the cast of "The Crumbling Citadel."
Broadcast—
Continued from page 1 those discussed behind the Iron Curtain. Most Romanians are well-informed on the play because of its great popularity there.
Liuba, however, is critical of the play's effectiveness. "The play only gives us two alternatives under Communism: adapt or die."
Grad catalogs diatoms
Sam L. VanLandingham, who received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from KU, is working on a nine-volume catalog in which he is classifying all the world's known diatoms. Diatoms are a single-celled form of algae. Their skeleton is rich in silica, accumulations of which have more than a thousand uses in industry, said VanLandingham.

He did admit, though, that Horia Lovinescu, the play's author, is a good writer. "It seems to me that Lovinescu tried to be honest under difficult circumstances," he said.
Jobs in Europe
he said. "It ignores completely the third alternative, and that is to fight the system."
The tape made by Liuba will be sent to Europe and broadcast from transmitters in Portugal and West Germany into Romania.

Liuba went on to say that he enjoyed the play "very much." He said he thought the cast and directors did a fine job in bringing life to the complex characters.

Wyoming town is for sale
ACME, Wyo. -(UPI)-Letters continued to flood the tiny post office at Wyoming's "town for sale" Wednesday asking for more information on the sale of Acme, a coal mining community of about 100 residents.
Mrs. Merton Bond, co-owner of Acme, said a two-line for-sale advertisement in a Chicago newspaper has brought countless telephone calls and "many, many letters."
The advertisement read, "A town for sale. Inq. Box 175, Acme, Wyo."
"There have been many inquiries, but maybe after the excite-
She said although Acme is a "very picturesque area," there have been few sightseers.
Her husband, Merton Bond, is a rural mail carrier and has other businesses that require his attention. Bond said taking care of the town, which he and his wife own completely, was getting to be too much trouble.
The community has 40 houses with indoor and outdoor plumbing, a general store, a post office and a three-room red schoolhouse.
Bond bought the town in 1963
KUMC doctors see tax loophole
Approximately 150 University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) resident physicians believe they have found a new federal income tax loophole but may have to face a court test to make it stick.
The doctors contend that a section of the 1954 tax code allows taxpayers holding professional degrees to exempt grants for study or research, subject to a limit of $300 a month for 36 months. That totals $3,600 a year.
In a meeting Monday night the
doctors decided to deduct the $3,600 from their 1967 returns. They also plan to file amended returns for 1964 through 1966 for refunds of up to $800, and pledged themselves to raise funds to finance a possible court test.
Harry S. Scribner, Kansas director of Internal Revenue Service at Wichita, agreed a court test is a possibility.
Scribner said the 1964 amended returns could cost the government $450.000 in current taxes and refunds at the medical center alone.

Prof describes program music
An assistant professor of music history, J. Bunker Clark, outlined part of the history of program music Wednesday in a lecture in the Kansas Union Browsing Room.
Clark described program music as "music which imitates the sights, sounds and even the emotions of the world around us." He described this music's history from the 14th to the early 18th century.
