Performers iron out rough spots in revue
Staff Reporter
By MARSHA WOOLERY
Keeping their clumsy feet in time to the orchestra and Cinderella's crown out of her Fairy Godmother's tutu are only a couple of problems faced by performers preparing for the Rock Chalk Reve Friday and Saturday night.
Most of the problems are technical rough spots that should be smoothed out at tomorrow's second dress rehearsal and tomorrow's final practice, cast members said.
Last night was the first dress rehearsal and complete run-through of the revue, and props and costumes were arranged, showed that not everything was right for the first two groups had to perform without appropriate lighting because two lightning bolts members were taking class examinations.
ALL THE groups seemed to be plagued by traditional problems of adjusting to the orchestra's tempo and delivering lines and words of songs audibly.
Maude Gridley, Pi Beta Phi sorority member and "Bob Meany" in the sorority's "Heaven's to Betsy" skit with the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, said, "Most people in the cast who were in last year say the problems are the same, except our biggest conflict is with the music arranger. We do not want to do the. tempo is different and the orchestra takes a lot of time out of our practice."
Rick Taylor, chorus member in the Delta Upson fraternity's production of "Evil Medieval" with the Kappa Alpha Theta secrecy, and his group's biggest problem was adjusting to the orchestra because the group began practicing together until Saturday.
"THE LEADS are also having a problem keeping in front of the directional markers so they can be seen."
John VanKeppel, Alpha KappaLambda director of the production, "Mother Goose Lets Loose, or Goose Takes a Gamble" with the Gamma Phi Beta sorority, said the two houses also had a problem with the micronhones.
the groups' performances for both nights and by using only IBA (in-between acts) players to entertain during set changes between skits.
Despite the simplification for the mashable, the different set crews are better able to perform.
Jeff Burns, Alpha Kappa Lambda cast member, complained that the microphones lowered the quality of the over-all production, because singing had to be yelled and blocking had to include jumping from one microphone to the next.
Kathy Hannah Waugh, Rock Chalk producer, said that one microphone had been added this year to the six across the mixing room, and the mixing room had been added to two of her machines.
Waugh said some technical problems had been avoided by keeping the same order for
Glenn Neppy, Phi Delta Gamma chorus member, said his group had three times as many props as the other groups and consequently had last-minute painting and
WAUGH SAID that the groups knew when they submitted their scripts last fall when the set deadline was, but that only one group had completed its set.
Steve Leben, newly elected student body president, Ralph Munyan, vice president, and student senators will officially take their places in the Student Senate at a joint meeting of the new and old senates at 6:30 tonight in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union.
She said she thought starting the skirt and cast selections last semester had helped.

Taylor disagreed. "Since it was earlier, it made it pretty tough to have to start practicing during country club week," he said.
“Studying? What's studying?” has become the standard statement for most cust members, who have averaged four to six hours of practice a day the last two weeks.
THE LONG practices have taken their toll—cast members spoke in raspies whispers off stage, some going home to nurse their pneumonia or mononucleosis.
Stott Stanley, Alpha Tau Omega Rock Chalk direct of "Sasparilla: A Hard Drink to Swallow", said his biggest problem now was keeping up morale.
Diane Daugerty, Alpha Chi Omega's "Cinderella," said, "A big problem is that everyone's tired of the skit. It's just hard making it look alive the whole way through, making it so the audience will enjoy it at all times."
Some cast members were discouraged by the lack of unity between the directors, steering the film.
Goal of KU prof in Iran thwarted by consulates
"I think it's like always," she said. "People are going to be nervous up to the end of the week and then they'll be excited."
Norman Forer, associate professor of social welfare, went to Tehran, Iran, two weeks ago to see 18 Iranian prisoners. He hasn't been allowed to see them.
Waugh said there hadn't been any deliberate releases from the groups, but only minor last minute conflicts in the use of University property. She said directors were not always aware that they couldn't always tell everyone in the casts and crews before problems occurred.
Forer recently telephoned Don Brown-Forer, associate professor of philosophy and an organizer of the Lawrence chapter of the American Committee for Iranian Human Rights, saying he had met with Iranian and Iranian leaders, both of whom were incooperative.
Forer's visit to Iran was planned to coincide with a nationwide American protest concerning the 18 prisoners who were arrested and December 2015 activities.
IN FACT, Brownstein said, Forer received warnings from the American consulate that if he didn't stop trying to see the prisoners, he might be deported.
Brownstein said an effort to free the 18 prisoners was a symbolic effort to free all of the Shah of Iran's political prisoners, whose human rights had been denied.

Forer is KU's representative to the Midwest University Consortium of International Social Development, which is concerned with the integration of institutions in social institutions.
THE LAWRENCE chapter of the American Committee for Iranian Human Rights, of which Fower is a member, comprises about 35 persons who are concerned with the denial of human rights to iranians. Most are former members of the committee wasn't political or partisan because it didn't support any one Iranian group.
Brownstein said the Lawrence chapter, formed two months ago, was the first chapter organized in the United States and was the national headquarters of the
The committee sent letters to President Jimmy Carter and eight senators and congressmen asking for support in securing rights for Iranian prisoners.
