Experimental Theatre Program Includes Plays, Dance Drama
The KU Experimental Theatre is trying a new twist in drama this week and next with Theatre International, three foreign one-act plays presented in their native languages. Theatre International will alternate performances with the Tau Sigma dance dramas through March 21.
Tau Sigma, dance fraternity-sorority, will present "Twas Never Thus" and "Hero Journey" March 14 16, 18, and 20 in the Experimental Theatre.
"TWAS NEVER THUS" is a tongue-in-cheek version of history. It will look at Helen of Troy, Antony and Cleopatra, Henry VIII, Pocahontas and John Smith, Perry Mason, and beatniks.
"Hero Journey" follows the lines of the standard hero of literature. He does noble deeds in exchange for boons from supernatural powers.
Members of Tau Sigma dance fraternity participating in the program are Mary Jean Cowell, St. Louis junior; Susan Curry, Topeka sophomore; Kathy Hibbard, Ann Arbor Mich., freshman; Kay Lanners, St
Aviator Requests Censor Reasons
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Sen.
John C. Stennis, D-Miss., has said
a much-decorated World War II
naval aviator was right on target in
suggesting ways to avoid inconsis-
tencies in military speech censorship.
The former aviator, Cmdr. Sidney R. Overall Jr., now a Pentagon speech-writer, told a Senate subcommittee recently that censorship of the 75 speeches he wrote for Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, former chief of naval operations, followed no set pattern.
Testifying at the inquiry into alleged military "muzzling." Overall said Pentagon and state department censors should be required to give specific reasons for any blue-pencil ing.

ON MARCH 15 "The Magic Theatre" will be performed in Spanish and the other two in English. "The Wall" will be presented in German March 17 and the others in English. On March 19 "Humulus the Mute" will be given in French and the others in English.
"The Magic Theatre" is directed by Virgil Godfrey, assistant professor of speech and drama. Prof. Godfrey described the play as the perpetration of a hoax in which only certain people can see the performance. Its theme is similar to Hans Christian Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes," he said.
"The Wall" is directed by Horst Muller, Tirschenseuth, Germany, graduate student. The play is about two months old and has never before been performed in the United States. Celia Candlin, London, England, junior made the English translation.

"The Wall" is about a woman whose husband is behind a big wall. She wants her husband back but she is ready to take any man to get a husband.
"HUMULUS THE MUTE" is directed by Diana Abruzzino, Huntington, W. Va., graduate student. Miss Abruzzino describes the play as an extended gag. It is set in early 19th century France and is about the formidable Duchess of Brignoc and her mute grandson.
Tickets for the dance dramas and the language plays cost $1, or 50 cents and ID cards.
Committee Makes First Plans For Kansas Relays Parade
The Kansas Relays Committee has made initial plans for the 1962 Kansas Relays parade to be held April 21 at 10 a.m.
Bruce Hall, Coffeyville sophomore and assistant parades chairman, said letters are being mailed to all organized houses explaining procedure for entering floats in the parade.
MEN'S AND WOMEN'S houses will be united in fairs this year, Hall said. The houses will be paired by the committee according to first choices by the organized groups.
The committee is arranging sponsors for the floats. A sponsor will provide a place to build the float and will provide transportation for the float.
Deadline for applications to enter a float is March 24. After the applications are in, the committee will meet with the entered houses and discuss regulations and make selections.
THE THEME FOR the floats will be announced later, Hall said. Any questions concerning entering
floats may be directed to Lauren Ward at the track office, Allen Field House.
Interviews for publicity, ticket and decorations chairmen for the KU Relays dance will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. Anyone interested in any of the three positions is asked to contact Gary Buller, VI 3-2655.
Americans Were Friendlier in '61
NEW YORK — (UPI) — People in the United States were friendlier than ever in 1961. They sent a record 6 billion greeting cards during the year—about half of them for Christmas.
This does not include the tremendous number of various other types of personalized greetings, including such things as home-made cards, floral wreaths, "living letters."
An estimated 3 million of the "living letters," tape-recorded greetings, were exchanged during the year. Most of these went out at Christmas, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.
