THE PLAY is a Japanese story adapted by Fay and Michael Kanin based on stories by the Japanese author Akutagawa. "Rashomon" is most famous for its filmed production.

Playing the leading roles will be Felix Peters, husband, Joan Norton, wife, Lloyd Thompson, bandit, Mildred Meier, medium.
THE PRODUCTION has a Japanese wood setting and is known for stylized movement. There are several sword fights in the play.
Tickets are on sale at the University Theatre box office. By showing their I.D.'s KU students will be admitted for half-price, 75c.
"Rashomon" is the fourth in a series of nine programs which will be presented by the University Theatre during the summer. The theme of the University Theatre is "Summer Theatre International '62" featuring plays from and about countries around the world.
Gov. John Anderson Files For Republican Nomination
TOFEKA — (UPI) — Gov. John Anderson yesterday paid the official $200 filing fee for the Republican nomination for re-election as Governor of Kansas.
Anderson, 46-year-old Olathe attorney and farmer, presently is completing his first term as governor.
ANDERSON PAID the $200 fee to Secretary of State Paul R. Shanahan. To date he has one opponent for the GOP nomination, Harvey Crouch of Minneola.
Gov. Anderson commented prior to paying the fee, "I think the two-year term for Kansas governors is too short.
"Someday we should revise our constitution in line with other states to give the governor a four-year term." Anderson said.
HE ADDED that under the present two-year system a new governor does not have a general legislative session after he has his administration under way.
The only general session of the
legislature, Anderson explained, convenes the day after a new governor is sworn in for a two-year term. Unless he is re-elected he will not have a general legislative session except for the first two months he is in office.
Gov. Anderson said, if elected, his and the legislature's major concern during the next two years will be education and financing of government.
He said he planned "some campaigning" before the Aug. 7 primary elections even though Crouch appears relatively unknown in Kansas politics.
ANDERSON HAS served in the state senate and was attorney general prior to being elected governor in 1960.
On the Democratic side of the ticket, State Rep. Dale Saffels of Garden City and former State Treasurer George Hart of Wichita are battling it out to see who will face the Republican nominee in the November general elections.
Kansas Union to Hold 'Open House' Friday
The Kansas Union last held "open house" in the fall of 1960 to dedicate the addition of the north wing.
Friday, the Union will again hold "open house," this time to acquaint the summer school student with the facilities of the Union so that he may best take advantage and utilize the KU student's "living room."
FRIDAY'S "OPEN HOUSE" starts with a steak dinner in the Prairie Room. The meal includes baked potatoes, tossed salad, roll and butter, dessert and tea or coffee. The price of the dinner is $1.40. A special seafood plate will also be served.
From 5-10 p.m. the Union will offer free bowling, billiards, and table tennis at the Jay Bowl. At 7:30 p.m. a movie "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" starring Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Burl Ives, Jack Carson, and Judith Anderson will be shown in the Forum Room with admission price being 35c.
THE "OPEN HOUSE" is being coordinated by the Student Union Activity Summer Board. Members of this board are Chuck Burin, Imperial.
Dancing will also be providee starting at 8 p.m. in the Trail Room with music by Kermit Mowbray There is no admission charge.
Pa., junior, chairman; Dave Smith Jackson, Mich., sophomore, entertainment; John Atkinson, Topeka freshman, recreation; Linda Power. Prairie Village junior, cultural activities, and Chuck Lanning, Lawrence freshman, publicity.
This is the first summer that KU has had a coordinated SUA program. "The program is the same as during the regular year, but there will be less activities," Burin said.
"Many other schools have good summer programs and with the larger summer enrollment we decided to try it out. If the program works, we will build it up. If it doesn't we will forget it."
The SUA is sponsoring a summer film every Friday night for 35c admission. The films are:
THE SUMMER SUA Board has been allotted $700 from activities fees for their summer program.

There will also be summer bowling leagues, ping-pong tournaments and bridge tournaments. Summer bowling leagues are being formed now at the Jay Bowl. The tournaments will be announced later.
Yvette Mimieux, Jim Hutton, Paula Prentiss, Frank Gorshin, Connie Francis.
"Another idea which the Board is working on is a Wednesday evening dinner. "We would invite a professor to come to the Union for dinner. We would sell tickets to students who would like to eat dinner with the professor and have an informal discussion afterwards." Burin said.
"We will have a poetry forum one week and a Current Events forum he next. We will repeat the popular mes." Burin said.
The Summer SUA Board is a nonprofit organization and exists on volunteer labor. Any student is eligible to work in SUA and may inquire about working at the Union Desk.

New Students Arrive Here For Previews
The University of Kansas launched its most ambitious program of summer orientation for new students yesterday when 172 prospective freshmen arrived for the first of 12 KU Previews.
The number of Previews has been doubled this year, although no significant increase in new freshmen, who last year numbered 2,119, is expected.
"THE OBJECTIVE is to give next fall's new students the best possible start on their orientation," said Dr. Carl G. Fahrbach, Jr., director of the program. "This can better be done with groups smaller than our maximum of 200."
The first 10 Previews are for next fall's freshmen: June 21-22, 25-26; July 2-3, 5-6, 9-10, 12-13, 16-17, 19-20, and 23-24. The final two, July 26-27 and 30-31 will be for advanced standing students.
THERE ALSO is the opportunity to take the placement examinations in foreign languages and chemistry.

CAB Reports On Explosion
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Civil Aeronautics Board said today that a dynamite explosion definitely ripped apart a Continental Airlines 707 jet over Centerville, Iowa last May, killing all 45 persons aboard.
The announcement came in the wake of an FBI report that said a Kansan, Thomas G. Doty, bought some explosives not long before he boarded the big plane.
Sabotage had been suspected almost from the start as the cause of the May 22 crash.
Leon Tanguay, acting director of the CAB's Bureau of Safety, said today that FBI laboratory tests confirmed that dynamite was the explosive involved.
Investigators believed a saboteur set off the dynamite with a fuse placed in a soiled-towel receptacle in the iet's lavatory.
They believe he then returned to his seat to await the explosion.
The 34-year-old Doty was reported to have carried at least $275,000 in flight insurance, naming his pregnant wife as beneficiary. His travelling companion on the flight, Mrs. Geneva Fraley, was insured for $75,000. Mrs. Fraley was Doty's business associate in a home furnishing firm they planned to start.
Doty, who was described as having studied use of explosives in the past, was facing an armed robbery charge in Kansas City, Mo.
