Tau Sigma Program to End
By Tom Winston
The Tau Sigma dance program consisting of "Twas Never Thus" and "Hero Journey," has one thing to recommend it above all else: it runs almost exactly one hour, then stops.
Tau Sigma is the dance fraternity sorority on campus, made up of persons interested in the dance. It is sponsored by Elizabeth Sherbon, instructor of physical education.
It is disappointing to report that there is very little to rave about in the present program, which will play for the last time at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Experimental Theatre.
THE PROGRAM HAS a fairly interesting script but lacks experienced dancers. Since KU has no department of ballet, except during the summer as part of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp, the group consists—for the most part—of people merely interested in dance.
The inter-residence hall dance held Friday night at Templin Hall was termed a "success" by James Cline, Rockford, Ill., freshman, and social chairman from Templin.
However, there are a few bright spots in "Twas Never Thus" and "Hero Journey." The beatnik dance between Sarah Lutton, Bartlesville, Okla., sophomore, and Douglas Dechaire, Westmoreland senior, is lively and skillfully done. Mary Jean Cowell, St. Louis, Mo., junior,
Earlier in the week controversy arose over the dance when the administration questioned plans for charging admission to the dance. The administration opposed the holding of fund raising dances in a residence hall.
Templin Dance Called Success
James G. Middleton, assistant to the dean of students and program director of dormitory supervision told representatives from Joseph R. Pearson, Templin, Carruth-O'Leary and Grace Pearson Halls that a state law forbids fund raising activities on state property.
Mr. Middleton said the dance could be held in Templin if an admission was not charged. He also said the dance could be held in the Kansas Union by paying a rental fee.
The Templin dormitory council decided to go ahead and hold the dance at Templin and ask for donations at the door.
Residence halls have a $3.50 per man social fund to finance social functions.
Cline said they collected $110 in donations. The band was guaranteed $130. Profits from the refreshments were $6.
is a lith trickster in "Hero Journey."
"We went in the hole $14," Cline stated.
Ron Seney, Kansas City freshman, commands the most attention of the evening as the hero in "Hero Journey." He is graceful and agile and his facial expressions add much to a part fragile enough to be ludi-
7 Men Accept Trusteeships
Six Kansans and one Texan have accepted William Allen White Foundation Trusteeships.
Burton W. Marvin, dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information and director of the foundation, announced the new trustees as:
Paul Allingham, publisher of the Atchison Globe; Sam R. Bloom, head of the Sam R. Bloom Advertising Agency, Dallas, Texas, and Alfred M. Landon, president of radio stations WREN, Topeka, KSCB, Liberal and KEDD, Dodge City, Landon is a former Kansas governor and 1936 Republican presidential candidate. The other trustees are Peter M. Macdonald, editor and publisher of the Hutchinson News; Larry Miller, general manager of the Kansas Press Association, Topeka; R. E. Robinson Jr., publisher of the St. Mary's Star, and Robert Wellington, editor of the Ottawa Herald.
crows if not handled with the most scruppulous care.
THE ONE REMAINING bright point is the script for "Twas Never Thus," written by Miss Sherbon and Mary Ann Smith, Merriam junior. It makes use of a speaking chorus that describes the action in verse.
There are six scenes: "Helen of Troy," "Antony and Cleopatra," "Henry VIII," "Pocahontas and John Smith," "Carrie Nation." and "Beatniks." The scenes are set to music by Bach, Milhaud, Frescoboldi, Chavez, Prokoifieff and Cooper, respectively.
Each of the scenes ends different from the way history tells it, hence, 'twas never thus.
