Russian Club Meets Tonight
Michael Klimenko, assistant professor of Slavic languages and literature, will talk on "Some Religious Characters of Old Russia."
The talk will be in English, Rodger Lee Findlay, Prairie Village senior and president of the club, said.
"This will be the last Russian Club meeting for this semester," Findlay said.
Prof. Klimenko was born in Ukraine, educated in Germany, and has been at KU for three years, Findlay said.
Communications Studied
Have you ever wondered why it just doesn't do any good to talk to some people?
The answer to that "why" is one of the reasons Carl Griffin, Boise, Idaho, graduate student, is studying inter-personal relationships for his doctoral dissertation.
"There is a great deal of work being done on this campus on communication," Griffin said. Not only are psychologists and sociologists interested in the problems of communications, writers in mathematics and telecommunications are studying it, Griffin said.
In order to discern what attitudes, feeling, and acts are related to communicative function and dysfunction, Griffin will examine 100 Lawrence husband-wife and boss-secretary pairs, he told the Speech and Drama Research Colloquium yesterday.
Griffin is a National Defense Education Act Fellow in speech and drama and a Ph.D. candidate in speech communication. He said his research should be finished by the end of the summer.
Ten Midshipmen Honored
Ten midshipmen from the KU Naval ROTC unit received awards for excellence in a special ceremony at the Navy Spring Review last weekend.
The Chicago Tribune award to the outstanding midshipman of each class, based on military achievement, scholastic attainment and character, went to: James D. Hubbard, Cedar Vale senior; Dennis E. Pankratz, Marion sophomore, and Howell D. Johnson, Junction City freshman.
The General Dynamics award for the senior midshipman who displays greatest interest in, and aptitude for, a Navy career, and one who demonstrates academic excellence, was awarded to Robert E. Borton, Cleveland Heights, Ohio, senior.
The two outstanding senior midshipmen who received the U.S. Naval Institute award are Neil F. Wood, Topeka, and J. B. Strayer, Shawnee Mission.
Paul W. Adelgren, Mission junior, was awarded the Reserve Officers Association Medal as the junior midshipman with outstanding over-all aptitude for service and a 3.0 grade point average in Naval Science for the past year.
Richard H. Griffin, Bartlesville, Okla., senior, received the Julius Horowitt award as the senior midshipman with the best military bearing.
The Marine Corps Gazette award to the outstanding senior midshipman, who will be commissioned in the Marine Corps, went to Douglas W. Pickersgill, Kansas City, Mo.
Frank C. Riley, Leawood freshman, received the Captain's Trophy as the outstanding member of the Naval ROTC rifle team.

'Typists', 'Tiger' Satirize Society
"Off-Broadway may never be the same again. Someone has come along who is original enough and witty enough to make even the avant-garde seem faintly old-fashioned."
So wrote Walter Kerr, drama critic for the New York Herald Tribune, when "The Typists" and "The Tiger" made their debuts in 1963.
The two plays, directed by Patricia Hensley, Lawrence graduate student, open at 8:15 tomorrow night in the Experimental Theatre.
IN THE TWO PLAYS, dramatist Murray Schisgal satirizes both society and the theater of the absurd.
"Shisgal plays his joke not only on society but on each one of us. We're not allowed to simply laugh at the misfortunes of 'the other guy'; we're forced to laugh at ourselves too," Miss Hensley said.
"And we have to laugh when his characters mouth the same cliches in a humorous manner that other
absurdist authors have expounded seriously," she continued.
THROUGH THE use of realistic characters, with whom the audience does not find much difficulty in identifying with, Schisgal forces them to scrutinize the finer details of the communication-conformity problem that exists in society today. Miss Henslev said.
"We are made to realize that the problem lies with each of us as individuals and not with them," she said.
"The Typists," through the use of humorous dialogue, trivial incidents and common, cliche ridden language, stresses the point that life can be a rut, and for most people it is.
"The Tiger" attempts to show that the lack of communication between people exists because the individual himself doesn't know what it is that he wishes to communicate. Miss Hensley explained.
But throughout both the two-character plays runs a thread of humanism and humor. And when
Brass Choir Welcomed Praised by Indonesians
When the KU Brass Choir arrived in Djakarta, Indonesia, April 6, they were warmly received by Indonesian university students and American government personnel.
"Even though signs advertised the Afro-Asian Conference 'for the crushing of imperialism and neocolonialism' and 'for building the world anew,' we felt absolutely no expression of dislike in any of our contests," Kenneth Bloomquist, director of the choir, said in a letter received at KU.
THE TOUR BEGAN in Djakarta with a clinic and concert at the University of Indonesia and an evening concert for the public. The group dined at the Hotel Indonesia and were treated to all the unfamiliar conveniences, including hamburgers and milk shakes.
Emmy Awards Face Trouble
HOLLYWOOD—(UPI) —The Emmy Awards, scheduled to be telecast May 25, today faced a wide-open revolt following a withdrawal of recognition by one network and a boycott by the news department of another.
The rebellion was sparked yesterday by Fred Friendly, a new president of CBS News and for years the boss of the "CBS Reports" series. He branded the awards as "unprofessional, unrealistic and unfair" and said his division would not participate in the ceremonies. Later in the day, Thomas Moore, president of ABC-TV, announced his network's withdrawal of recognition of the awards "as presently constituted."
As of last night, the CBS entertainment department had not decided publicly whether to join its news division in the boycott. The Emmy show, television's equivalent of the Academy awards, is to be broadcast on NBC-TV, which said last night the program would go on. An NBC-TV spokesman said his network considered the dispute a matter for the television academy, and that NBC nominees would be delighted with any awards they can win.
After a two-day bus ride, the choir reached Surabaya, a city on the opposite end of the island of Java. From here they travelled to Malang, Jogjakarta, Magelang, Surakarta, Samarang, Bandang, Bogor, and back to Djakarta.
During 20 days in Indonesia, the choir visited every university there, played 25 performances, including workshops and performances and three radio shows. They were invited to numerous receptions, concerts and social functions, and were entertained by the diplomatic colony in Djakarta.
Everywhere the choir went, they met people. Out of a population of 103 million, 67 million are estimated to live on the island of Java. These people seemed so tremendously interested in America and Americans, Bloomquist said. Mr. Howard Jones, the American ambassador to Indonesia, praised the choir and stressed the importance of its work.
