The troupe's name comes from "Mummen," a game of dice, and "Schanz," which means luck. Mummenschanz was originally the name of the mask worn by medieval Swiss mercenaries to conceal their expressions while gambling.

Forum hears ideas on deer-hunting law
Bv lill less
Kansan staff writer
Kansans might be allowed to apply for more than one deer-hunting permit during the regular deer season under one of five options being considered by the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Department for more effective control of the deer population.
At a public forum before about 500 people yesterday at the Holiday Inn Holdhome, 200 McDonald Drive, wildlife commission officials presented the five options and heard from concerned hunters and landowners.
"Current meetings are designed to give the commission guidance on types of regulation that will be most accessible to the greatest number of people, both landowners and sportsmen," said Bill Anderson, a wildlife commission official.
Options being considered include opening a special deer-hunting season to use unsold permits from the regular firearms season, allowing people to apply for more than one permit, opening the deer-hunting season in the middle of the week instead of the usual weekend opening, having a special season for the use of muzzle-loading rifles in hunting and giving special preference to landowners on whose land the hunting occurs.
hunting occur. The crowd, mostly hunters and landowners, offered opinions and
suggested other options.

Les Barnes, a hunter from Valley Falls, said he wanted 14-yearolds to be permitted to hunt deer with rifles. Bow-and-arrow hunting of deer is permitted at 14, but 16 is the minimum age for hunting with a rifle.
with a rifle.
Barnes said that because 14-year-olds were allowed many other privileges, such as driving a car, they should be allowed to use rifles to hunt deer.
"Before we go to putting out two permits or considering non-residents, I would like to suggest that we let our younger people get in at 14." Barnes said.
Anderson said public hearings also were being held in Hays, Dodge City, Chanute and Wichita. A decision on the options must be made at the April 25-26 meetings in Pittsburg.
Two bills in the Kansas House of Representatives concerning deer hunting also were presented in a pamphlet handed out at the forum. One bill would require that free permits be issued to landowners and tenants. The pamphlet said the Department opposed the bill because it would cut in half the number of permits available to other Kansas hunters.
The other bill also is opposed by the department. It would allow non-residents to buy leftover permits not purchased by Kansans.
Hall plan awaits OK for funds
By a Kansan reporter
The Kansas University Endowment Association has not yet approved a University recommendation to use $3 million from the association's fund-raising drive to build two scholarship halls.
Jim Martin, executive director of Campaign Kansas, a drive aimed at raising $100 million for the Endowment Association, said no decision had been made about building the scholarship halls.
"The Endowment Association hasn't officially announced support for building the scholarship halls, but that doesn't suggest that there won't be." Martin said.
Although Campaign Kansas won't begin until May, $5.1 million already has been donated.
Martin was unsure exactly when the decision would be made but indicated that it would be sometime this spring.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, has asked that the Endowment Association set aside $3 million from the campaign to build two new scholarship halls. The University endorsed Stoner's request.
Jim Scaly, assistant to the chancellor, said that the need for new scholarship halls had been discussed for the past decade. Campaign Kansas was seen as an opportunity to fulfill that need, he said.

A TRIBUTE TO "PRO-CHOICE" TOMMYROT
On page 3C of the January 22nd Journal-World can be found an advertisement organized by the Religious Coalition for Abortion rights in Kansas in which some 80 Lawrencians describe themselves as "pro-choice, not pro-abortion" even though these people "support a woman's right to choose abortion in accordance with her own conscience and personal, moral and religious beliefs."
Although this ad's signatories — one of whom is my mother — are educated, compassionate folk, they fail to see that any entity which advocates giving such power to pregnant women should be described as "pro-abortion... (not) pro-choice" for the fate of those babies who die in our judicially-sanctioned abattoirs called abortion clinics is more important than the fact that the women who enter therein to terminate their pregnancies do so voluntarily.
To whom can one turn to learn more about the "pro-choice" position? The money-grubbing Planned Parenthood Federation of America (about whom more later), the rabid National Organization of Women whose every myopic outpouring cries out for correction, or the guttless American Civil Liberties Union which piously opposes capital punishment even as it circumvents the abortion controversy with its absurd claim that life begins at birth. Syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman seems to me to be a good source of such misinformation because, even though she is genuinely concerned about injustice, she always uses "pro-choice" doubletalk when defending legitimized abortion.
Thus Ms. Goodman, in her Journal-World column of July 3rd, 1987, can cheerfully categorize as "good news" the opinion that even after another Reagan selection joins the Supreme Court "no one believes the Supreme Court would define the fetus as a human being," because "pro-choice" propagandists don't know that the chromosome number and species of an human organism don't change during its lifetime
Thus Ms. Goodman, in her Journal-World column of November 3rd, 1987, can hold that Planned Parenthood is "an organization whose mainstay is offering contraception" because "pro-choice" propagandists don't know contraception is, according to one dictionary, "the prevention of conception or impregnation by voluntary or artificial means." They think the Planned Parenthood Federation of America is offering contraceptive services at both its 786 family planning clinics where Americans United for Life says 92,849 women were referred for abortions and its 60 abortion clinics where 98,638 abortions were performed in 1986. These figures, which constitute approximately one of every eight abortions performed in this country, and the $21.2-million which Planned Parenthood received in return for performing those abortions, are seen by "pro-choice" propagandists as expressions of an unqualified commitment to contraception.
Thus Ms. Goodman, in her Journal-World column of November 17th, can object to a court-ordered attempt to save the 26-week-old fetus of a woman dying of cancer because, in those states which have a "living will" statute, "everyone has the right to refuse extraordinary treatment except for pregnant women." "Pro-choice" propagandists agree with Lynn Paltrow of the American Civil Liberties Union who thinks "the question is no longer whether the fetus is viable, but whether the mother is ... (now that) we are treating fetuses with rights above and beyond any existing person."
Her reference to fetal viability indicates Ms. Paltrow has forgotten that the organization of which she is an active member, the American Civil Liberties Union, claims life begins at birth. By implying that the Constitution mentions viable life, Ms. Paltrow overlooks the fact it unequivocally protects innocent life. The insidious condition from which Ms. Paltrow suffers also has left her unable to see that a government which permits the brutal execution of 1.6 million unborn babies per year while it feeds, clothes, and entertains swine like, say, Richard Speck and Charlie Manson, can't accurately be described as "treating fetuses with rights above and beyond any existing person."
Although Ms. Goodman is one of the "pro-choice" crowd's most articulate members, hers is not an informed choice because of the factual material with which she obviously is unacquainted. While the First Amendment does allow pregnant women to entertain the "personal, moral and religious beliefs" of their choosing, the Eighth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments were clearly designed to protect each mangled fetus whose bloody remains are, in the words of Newsweek's February 2nd, 1987 issue, "pulled from a woman's vagina and reassembled on a table" to ensure that abortion's success, because every one of these tiny victims had its own blood, brain, circulatory, respiratory and urinary systems during the relatively short period it exhibited the properties of life. The Ninth Amendment puts it this way: "The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
