Aldon Bell Speaks At SUA TV Party
In squeezing the three-act play into a television program, too much historical data and too many vital scenes were lost, a KU professor of history said last night at the Student Union Activities television party.
This is the opinion of Aldon Bell, assistant professor of history, who spoke last night at the television party which featured "The Invincible Mr. Disraeli."
Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) was the first Earl of Beaconsfield and was a Prime Minister of England.
THE TELEVISION party was held in the South lounge of the Kansas Union. The 90-minute live drama was shown in color.
"Disraeli" is the life story of a politician who struggles to get to the top in politics. Benjamin Disraeli was a Jew but he was born in England.
His being a Jew causes many of his hardships in his lifetime. In the story, a twenty-year sequence of events is sandwiched in to show a proud man who was witty and sharp-tongued but still warm in his domestic life.
IN HIS REVIEW, Prof. Bell said the characters are well-played. For example, he said, Disneel was not depicted simply as a devout politician, but "we are shown both sides of his personality."
Disraeli, though a witty man, Prof. Bell said, eventually became a careful thinker. He learned that he could not solve the problems of Europe, Prof. Bell said.
Miss Lawrence Field Narrowed
Eight KU women are among the 10 finalists in the preliminary Miss Lawrence contest.
They are Loretta Marcoux, Havenville junior; Joan Burger, Prairie Village sophomore; Carol Synovec, Morrowville freshman; Sharon Richmond, Louisburg freshman; Sherry Wickliff, Mission senior; Bonnie Ward, Topeka junior; Peggy Dewey, Bethel freshman, and Mary Todd, Arkansas City junior.
They will compete in the final Miss Lawrence Pageant April 19 at Lawrence High School. The winner will enter the Miss Kansas Pageant in Pratt June 7-9.
THEY were chosen after talent and swim suit competition. They had been informally introduced to the judges.
Miss Marcoux, in a red and blue cow-girl costume, sang "I Can't Say No" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma."
WEARING A BLACK cat costume,
Miss Synovee played and sang "The
Pussy Cat Song" by Dick Manning.
Miss Ward, in costume, sang an aria, "In Quelle Trine Morbidle," from the opera "Manon Lescaut."
Miss Todd played a flute solo,
"Pen," from "Pleasures of Pan."
FLANKED BY FIVE of her paintings, Miss Burger spoke on modern art as a revelation of the artist's feelings and thoughts.
Miss Dewey did a calypso dance to the "St. Louis Blues Mambo."
Miss Wickliff performed a trampoline routine preceded by demonstration of the five basic trampoline positions.
Miss Richmond orally interpreted "The Cremation of Sam McGee," by Robert Service.
Commenting on Disraeli as a novelist, Prof. Bell said that he "romanticizes the working class." He had a constant emphasis on the working party, he said, just as he did as prime minister.
Prof. Bell said that though some historical essence was lost by the television production, the most famous quotes were left in. As a character, he said, Disraeli is well-done. "He knew there was a prejudice against him," Prof. Bell said.
"He was a champion of the Jews in England." Prof. Bell pointed out that Disraeli knew that being a Jew hurt him politically.
HE SAID DISRAELI was proud but not ambitious as the critics evaluate him. During his wife's old age illness, Disraeli remained at her side even during political issues.
Speaking again of the historical aspect, Prof. Bell said there was no Russian-Turkey war, as was shown in the picture, nor did Queen Victoria fear and hate Russia in 1840.
Prof. Bell attributed Disraeli's political success to "luck" and his ability as a debater. Had the party not divided in 1846, Prof. Bell said, Disraeli's 20-year wait may have been different.
About 75 high school senior men will visit the campus during Men's Residence Hall Association Visitation Weekend, April 27 and 28.

KU Males Indifferent To Easter Bonnet Fad
Women, if you're all excited about a new Easter hat, save your strength.
By Joanne Prim
You probably won't get a very enthusiastic response from the men.
enthusiastic response from the men. Recent interviews show that the KU male couldn't care less if you wear a new hat (or any hat) on Easter.
Apparently the traditional, romanticized Easter bonnet bit the dust.
"I DON'T PAY any attention to them," one student said languidly. "You're not going to get too many answers from boys who say they look at girls' hats."
One man said:
One man said:
"Eggghhyyt."
"AS LONG AS they're small and not flowery, they're OK. But when they're large, gaudy, and flower,$g$, they're hideous."
Even more discouraging was a saleswoman in a downtown hat shop.
"Women don't like hats, They hate them. They won't wear them," she said.
"A GREAT MANY college girls put a lot of work and care in on the outrageous hairdos, and they don't want to spoil them."
"It's a case of hat or hair. They don't want to sacrifice the hair to wear the hat," she said.
Commenting on styles, she said,
"Little flimsy hats are a thing of the past."
She recommended lots of flowers, big ones.
A SALESMAN at another store also referred to the decrease in hat sales.
"You buy one if you just have to have one," he said.
In spite of everything, however,
several women hat-buyers persist.
One woman suggests that you let your inner emotions come out in your hat selection.
"THE ONLY way to buy a hat is to fall madly in love with it. It has to be wild," she said.
ONE SUNNY philosopher said;
"I love just hats," she said. "They complete an outfit."
One woman is determined to shop for and find the hat she wants — "with pink flowers and a veil and green leaves and things."
"To me, a new hat signifies spring. Hats are the first really colorful and feminine thing you see in spring. They sort of whet your taste for other spring clothing."
