Three Dramatists On 8-Week Tour
Three "ambassadors of theatre" from the University of Kansas will tour Germany and Poland this summer, under the sponsorship of the U.S. State Department. Miss Barbara Gerlash and Mr. and Mrs. Sidney L. Berger will spend eight weeks in the two countries, presenting scenes from representative American dramatic works.
On July 6, the three will fly to Bonn for a two week tour of Germany. Their itinerary calls for appearances in at least 10 German cities, according to Dr. Jack Brooking. Dr. Brooking, acting director of the University Theatre for the past year, and Dr. Lewin Goff, director-on-leave in Vienna, laid the groundwork for the trip.

FOLLOWING THEIR stay in Bonn and vicinity, Miss Gerlash and the Bergers will go to Warsaw, Po-
more industrial training and on-the-job training in factories or industries, and a five-year program with more theory and less practical training with some work in technical establishments.
Dean Anderson added that parents usually wish their children to take the latter program.
"GUIDANCE AS WE KNOW it does not exist in the Polish schools as in the U.S.," said Dean Anderson. He continued that instead of a state director of testing or guidance in the Ministry of Education, there are psychological centers in the various districts which test children of the elementary school or seventh grade.
These centers sometimes give tests and inventories to students in the secondary schools to aid the student with his vocational choice.
There are a few special schools for retarded or disabled children, according to Dean Anderson, but the program is not as effective as in the United States.
RECONSTRUCTION of school curriculum has been done for the first four grades and the next grade will be redone next year. While the development precedes textbooks, equipment is being designed for each grade as it is redone.
"This program, in a sense, tends to freeze the curriculum and instruction therefore is probably quite uniform in the schools," said Dean Anderson. "However, this is a socialistic state and so this type of operation fits the situation." He adds, "We too in many states have state adopted or printed books."
Register This Week For Western Civ
Registration for the Western Civilization Comprehensive examination began yesterday for those students who did not sign up during the summer session enrollment.

land, for two weeks, and then to Cracow for four weeks. They will return about Sept. 1.
Included in their repertory are scenes from "The Girl of the Golden West" by David Bellasco; "O Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck; "Elizabeth the Queen" by Maxwell Anderson; "Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You In The Closet and I'm Feeling So Sad" by Arthur L. Popit, and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" by Edward Albee.
In addition, Miss Gerlash and the Bergers will present prose and poetic selections representative of American drama, poetry and prose of the 20th Century. They also expect to be lecturing on American drama. The programs will be presented in English and primarily to students.
MISS GERLASH, 23, is a graduate student from Tarkio, Mo. Her studies are in education guidance and psychology. Her major interests are in creative dramas for children. Last summer, Miss Gerlash toured Germany, Holland and Austria with a student acting troupe from the University of Kansas.
While performing, the students studied at the University of Vienna Summer Campus at Stroble. When the group left for home, Miss Gerlash remained in Vienna to study at the university and to teach English at a private girls' school.
Berger, 27, is working on his doctorate in theatre. A native of New York, Berger has directed two musicals at KU which have taken Defense Department tours of the South Pacific, playing to American troops and participating in performances for foreign nationals with the sponsorship of the Department of State. In 1960 "Brigadoon" was selected for tour, and Berger went along in an acting capacity. At this moment, the KU company of "The Boy Friend" is touring through the same area. Berger has also done some film acting, including a major role in a full-length feature.
Mrs. Berger is from Topeka. She studied at the University of Denver before coming to KU to complete her studies in social work. While at Denver, Mrs. Berger studied dance with the renowned Hanya Helm and acted in a number of shows.

SHIPLEY, England—(UPI)—Bartender Albert Thewlliss, informed that he owed $58.80 tax on tips from customers, paid up yesterday with a crate of beer.
"I don't get cash tips—just an occasional free drink," he told the astonished tax man. "That's how I earned it, that's how I pay it."
