Cassidy Kirch, a senior from Olathe, plays Hecabe in Euripides's classic Greek tragedy, "The Trojan Women." The actors learned some modern Greek when members of the cast traveled to Greece this summer to prepare for their roles.

They also travel to historic cities like Delphi, Corinth and Mycenae. Christies said the cornerstone of their work, the production itself, was done in fourth century B.C. theater in Iniades.
"It's overwhelming to rehearse and practice in a place that witnessed the birth of Western music, theater and civilization as a

This weekend, the same group of students will transfer the Greek tragedy from the ancient theater of Greece to the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall. The performances this weekend are in celebration of the one-year anniversary of Lawrence's sister city agreement with Iiades.
The group lives in an elementary school in the village of Katohi, which is part of the larger city of Iniades, for six weeks. During this time, they take classes in ancient Greek drama and architecture.

"The students get an opportunity to learn about another culture first hand by living in it," Christilles said.

Details of the final proposal include placing additional security and trash cans around the hotel's property. The hotel also received a permit to sell alcohol outside the bar areas on its property, Longhurst said.
Lance Johnson, Lawrence City Commissioner, said one of the commission's concerns was making sure that no alcohol was sold to minors.
The Oread will check IDs and give customers wristbands that indicate that they are allowed to drink, Longhurst said.

Study shows students to be less empathetic

An understanding friend may be harder to come by as technology grows and changes the way society interacts. According to a recent University of Michigan study, college students today, also called 'Generation Me', are about 40 percent less empathetic than those from the '80s or '90s.
The study measured nearly 14,000 students over 30 years, from 1979 to 2009. A Michigan graduate student Edward O'Brien, who worked on
the study, said in the news release that the largest drop in numbers happened after 2000.
"I feel like Facebook changes how we talk to each other," said Erin Tomkins, a senior from Lawrence.
That class of college students seems to correspond with the beginning of a new generation, one still at large, that is totally immersed in the Internet.
With Facebook chat, e-mail, text messaging and instant messaging, college-aged people communicate
