McLeary joins Joe Orton, begins with a M McLeary's job. Doesn't it matter? McLeary's living room. The comedy becomes entangled when M McLeary's son and an accomplice rob a bank and stush the bank. M McLeary's coffin, in place of her body.
The antics continue when the deceased wife's nurse discovers the money and has to pay.
According to director William Keeler, assistant professor of the theather, the target of the play isn't only society's emphasis on money, but also the importance of quickly acquiring wealth without disturbing the moral world or attracting attention.
Nancy Walker, Prairie Village graduate student, is assistant director.

Glassblowing, ceramics spark workshop
Fascinated onlookers watched an all-day glassblowing and ceramic raku firing demonstration yesterday in front of the Kansas Union.
Trash fire set at Acacia house
A fire bomb ignited a fire in the trash "dumpster" of the Acacia fraternity house, 1100 Indiana St., shortly after midnight as university members said early this morning.
"I was sitting in the dining room when I heard a big boom and then saw a flash of light outside," Rick Hartman, Birmingham, Mich., senior, said.
"We first tried putting out the fire with some letoff water, and then all three of the house fire extinguishers to try to put it out. Finally we called the fire department."
Hartman said that other members of the fraternity had seen a car pull up to the house immediately before the explosion, and he says that police that police who arrived on the scene indicated there wasn't sufficient evidence to press any charges.
The demonstration was part of the Art and Design Academic Workshop, which is held in conjunction with the annual Principal Counselor-Freshman Conference run
The glassblowing demonstration was conducted by Vernon Brejeta, assistant
Brecha carefully removed small balls of molten glass from a brick, propane gas furnace and carried them on the end of a ladder to the pipe about two feet away from the furnace.
He constantly twirled the pipe to keep gravity from pulling the glass out of shape and repeatedly placed the blown glass in the water. It would seem that the glass wouldn't cool too quickly and explode.
Graduate students in ceramics demonstrated ceramic raku firing techniques, using a kiln built by William Bracker, the professor of design, for the glaze firing.
The demonstration klin used yesterday and others used at the University of Kansas
Raku is a procedure for firing pottery that achieves a special smoked effect. Special color or glaze may be added to the pottery. The technique was developed by Japanese potters in the late 16th century for making tea ceremony wares.
Students applied oxides and carbonates directly to the stoneware or mixed them with a basic white crackle glaze to achieve a white shiny finish. They fired the pieces in a small portable kiln.
were designed by Bracer specifically for the raku firing process.
The final step in the process, reduction or smoking in sawdust or leaves, created the ash.
Bracker said sawdust was used for yesterday's demonstration because it was to windy to use leaves, and sawdust is less messy.
Then the ceramics were placed in a trash can filled with sawdust. The high temperature of the pieces ignited the sawdust and the ceramic shattered, leaving pieces of the clay body that weren't glazed.
For the reduction process, the glaze fired pieces had to reach a low fire temperature of about 1,800 degrees and have a fire-red, glassy appearance. Bracker said.
The workshop and demonstrations were held for art and design teachers from high schools and community colleges in Kansas and surrounding states. Bracker said, to students, the focus about KU's art and design programs and to display material being developed.

Prof studies bees' flight
The flight of the bumblebee—and other winged insects—is being studied for possible use in the aerospace industry by Chuan-Tau Lan, associate professor of aerospace engineering.
"We're studying things that fly very differently, trying to discover general principles in flying. Lan said yesterday. We are still working on it, but we are also studying dragonflies, locusts, etc."
According to one aerodynamic theory, the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly. Through funding from a one-year, $4,200 grant from the University of Chapman-Weill School, Lan is studying how they fly.
Lan said the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) had expressed interest in the study and he hoped such would be funded by NASA in the future.
Because of limited funds, Lam said, he and a graduate assistant are conducting only theoretical research, using computers in the laboratory. He noted that using high-speed photography in the study.
