Residents advised on room check
About 15 members of Joseph R. Pearson Hall met last night with representatives of the Student Senate to discuss options they could take in response to a spring-break
Rex Gardner, chairman of the Student Rights and Responsibilities Committee, told residents they could do nothing, file either an individual or a class-action suit against the University of Kansas or go before the University judicial board.
In a check March 10, Richard Frohl, resident director, and Bob Nugent, assistant resident director, entered student rooms to check for possible safety hazards. During that check, a list was made of rooms in the building, plants, alcohol and road signs were found.
The rights committee passed a resolution
March 29 status, that student privacy 49 were violated in the incident because notice
"What should you do?" Gardner asked the residents. "I can't tell you. In my heart I don't think Richard Frelik, Bob Nugent or the office of residential programs did this until now."
Gardner said a suit could be filed on the grounds of invasion of privacy or breach of

director of the Senate, said, "It sets a precedent. If this is allowed to continue, it affects what happens to future students at KU."
Mahaffy said that she did not encourage residents to file suits but that the meeting had been held to inform them of the actions they could take.
No action was taken at the meeting.
"It's an important thing," she said. "You shouldn't just let it slide."
She argued the students at the meeting to discuss the options with other JRP teams.
Gardner originally had called the meeting for last Wednesday evening. Mahfouf said the meeting had been postponed to allow time for notIFYing residents.
No JRP staff members attended.

"You can spend almost a lifetime learning to make notebooks," he said.
HE SAID that after he read the magazine article, he checked out books about polyptopes from a library. He is now easily responding with a Canadian mathematician.
Although he sold a number of the figures three years ago, he said, the business is
"People don't ask for them as frequently as I would like it to be," he said. "Three years ago I made a good killing."
He said he sold some for $40 and others for 600. A 600-cell volvolets sale for about $40
A 600-cell polytope looks like a ball with many faces and has symmetrically arranged wires forming geometric figures inside the polytube.
He took some other slips of paper from his
pocket. They were covered with intricate drawings of polytopes.
He said he had made more money selling the drawings than selling polytopes.
ROAK MAKES polytopes from wooden sticks, bamboo or wire. A 600-cell polytype has 720 pieces of wire. The materials are glued or woven together to make the final object.
Roark knows many of the artists in the area and spends much of his time in coffee with them. He taught his students how he taught another Kansas City M, artist, Roger Williams, who welds art objects, to Roark.
Williams said that an artist could make polytopes without a background in mathematics, but that if he wanted to make difficult figures, geometry was needed.
"Vince is the geometry pusher for the area. You can start at any level making the
polypotes. I met Vince four years ago at an art show," Williams said.
He said Roark had asked him to try making polytopes from welding wire. Since that time, Williams has made a number of them using Roark's calculations.
Williams pointed to a bronze dragon in his apartment as an example of artwork he had welded before he met Roark. Then he used the molds he wired polyresists hanging from the ceiling.

Thirty juniors initiated into 1979 Mortar Board
KU's Torch Chapter of Mortar Boaro initiated 30 members for the 1979-80 school year yesterday at the Chancellor's residence.
The group initiated only women until 1975, when its constitution was altered to allow men to become members.

six KU professors as Outstanding
educators of 1979. These are the only
teaching awards handled entirely by
students.
The professors are: Robert Anderson, French and Italian; John T. Booker, French and Italian; Brower Burchell, physiology and cell biology; Coralela Price, classics; James Shortridge, chemistry and Henry O. Stone, microbiology.
They were chosen by members of Mortar Board from nominations that were open to all students.
Roark walked about Williams' apartment, pointing to a polyte in one corner and explaining about another he had built and already sold.
The judge also ruled admissible for the April 18 trial a piece of jewelry and two earrings.
The ruling by James Paddock, the district judge, came after nearly three hours of testimony presented in a hearing on two motions.

Statements made by Charles Hunter, a Lawrence youth charged with several counts of sexual assault and residential burglary in the city, were given freely and voluntarily and can be used in court, and County district court judge ruled Friday.
Roark said that the polytopes could be used in architecture but that he had not worked with any architects. His plans include building a polytope in 10 dimensions.
Hunter, 16, 1234 Tennessee St., faces felony charges of eight counts of aggravated burglary, four counts of rape and two counts of attempted rage.
An appeal has been filed in the state Court of Appeals seeking to overturn a ruling ordering Hunter to be tried as an adult. The court rejected the appeal by judge of the Douglas County district court.
Eitwell ruled earlier that Hunter's juvenile status should be waived based on the seriousness of the charges and his previous contacts with juvenile authorities.

Asked whether he made polytypes because of the satisfaction he gained from building them, Rork examined one of his reactions and said, "Something like that."

KU's 'Love for Three Oranges' enthralling, melodramatic farce
By PAMEKEY
Three 6-foot Sankist oranges were the impetus for a daring rescue from a giant cook and her even bigger soup spoon Friday night in the University Theatre.
The rescue was part of the amusing and well-staged opening performance of Sergei Prokofiev's operatic fantasy, "The Love for Three Oranges."
Reviewer
The opera employed a variety of fantasy cliche to produce a farce on the traditions of grand opera and on fantasy itself. The audience, it seemed, was not that professor of ensembles, and Mary-Kay Harris, instructor of speech and drama, was a lively performance that kept the audience chcking at the lyrics and at the stage. But the plot. Lawner also conducted the opera.
In the opera, the hypocondriac Prince of Clubs, who suffers from, among other things, mononucleosis, hallitosis and intellectual constipation, is cured when he laughs at the witch Fata Morgana. The insulted witch curses the princess to fall in love with her brother, who then on a series of absurd misadventures until he is united with his One True Love.
THE ABSURD NATURE of the opera allowed the performers to melodramatically exaggerate their acting as well as to display their vocal talents.
Richard Stitt, Lawrence graduate student, turned a skill performance as an actor into an artful act in the weak, whining voice of an invalid to the strong, purposeful voice of a man obsessed with death.
Review
The King of Clubs, performed by Larry
THE HILARIOUSLY unreal atmosphere of the opera would not have been so effective with the excellent set design by Gregory Hill, instructor of theatre, and costumes by Chez Haeh, associate professor of speech and drama.
-KANSAN-
Julian, Mountain Grove, Mo., graduate student, and the King's favorite, Pantail, performed by Mark Stingley, Salina senior, complimented each other in their several duets, although they occasionally were drowned out by the orchestra accompaniment. However, their individual performances well suited to the opera's comic lines.
Charles Foerschak, Kansas City, Kan., senior, was the best of the comedians as well. His role in "The Prince" to induce the Prince's laughter drew many chuckles from the audience but failed to get a laugh.
The setting of Nowhere was appropriately represented by playing cards and Roman arches suspended from the ceiling, which were flanked the stage for the Eclectics to watch the performance and to comment on its progress. The curtain resembled an imaginative Oriental-style painting of a human figure, and humans thrown as if in a dream.
SINSTER CHANCELLOR Leandro, played by Leonard McWilliams, Lawrence senior, coveted the throne and plotted to take over. He was guided by the Eccentrices, a group of performers who commented on the opera and intervened when the plot didn't move as they wanted it to, the audience missed in their eyes. They bowed at the conclusion of the performance.
Fleming, Overland Park junior. Harris choreography included many deliberate misuses that kept the audience in sittches when the dancers bumped into each other or couldn't quite keep their steps synchronized.
The best female performance in the opera was turned in by Lisa Claire Anderson, Evergreen, Col., freshman, who was the King's niece, Princess Clarissa. The sweetness and clarity of her voice combined with her excellent projection as acting would have been well-suited for a larger part in this male-dominated opera.
A fanciful element was provided throughout the performance by the dancing of co-director Harris; Kristian Kingman, Lawrence graduate student; and Demis
The King and members of his household were dressed in clothing showing their card suit-clubs. Witches, clowns devils and doctors made appearances in colorful attire. The uses of overgrown props with these costumes added to the fantasy atmosphere. The doctors, who pronounced that overgrown hypodermic needles, and the giant cook was accompanied by a soup spoon that was at least 7 feet long.
The combination of Prokofye's saint and an excellent production by the ensemble is unmistakable. Arts create a fantasy performance that is almost too good to miss. For those who missed the opening performances, "The Artist" will be given in a bill at p.m. Friday and Saturday.
