Worlds of Fun holds auditions for summer
Auditions for toy dolls who dance and sing, cataret dancers and barber shop quartets were given in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union yesterday.
Worlds of Fun auditioned students for their summer theater shows. Gary Noble, Worlds of Fun representative, said that they planned to hire from 65 to 70 performers.
"We hire four singers for every dancer." Noble said, "But we also look for novelty acts such as comedians, magicians and buggers."

legalized and the conservatives want marijuana out of the state."
People auditioning for Worlds of Fun are judged on talent, style and technique.
"THEY'RE AFRAID that it's going to be an emotional issue, and, in an emotional issue, emotion always takes precedence reason with the people back home," he said.
Glover's bill would liberalize current law by reducing penalties and providing that all records of conviction for small possessions be destroyed after two years. However, the bill includes hashish and synthetic THC from consideration, continuing to allow marijuana delivery and states that giving marijuana to a juvenile would remain a felony.
The bill's opposition won't be able to come up with concrete arguments, he said, except that supporting the bill is "politically impossible."
However, Glover said that even the Kanans for Life at its best, better known as the United Dry Forces under the Rev. Richard Taylor, favored his bill. He said reluctant legislators could vote for his bill and tell their constituents that they voted in accordance with the views of a notable state prohibition group.
Glover explained the United Dry Forces' support for his bill by saying, "They recognized that it would alleviate a certain amount of human suffering. They don't believe in marjana consumption, but they recommend its decriminalization."
Glover said his bill is a first step toward taking even the most costly drug out of our hands, said the surgeon.
"We're going to eventually move to the point where we realize that drug abuse is a medical problem," he said. "Right now our criminal justice system is being prostituted, because it can't solve what is actually a medical and psychological problem."
Personal appearance is also important, he said.
"People want to see performers who look happy and great on stage," he said. "We're confident."
Valerie Delvin, Wichita sophomore, has worked at Worlds of Fun before.
I really liked it," she said. "The hardest part about it is that you don't always like footwear."
Because there was a different audience every night, Delvin said, you can't give a bad show. "You know they came to enjoy it."
Performers are paid $10 a week. If they work through the entire season they get a
"So if they work our entire 150 operating days, they can earn up to $3,500." Nobles
The season runs on weekends in April,
May, September and October and then daily during the summer. Performers work six days a week during the summer.
Denny Farris and Randy Roller drove up from Afa, Okla. for the audition.
"We're trying to find something different for the summer," Farris said.
there will be another Worlds of Fun audition Tuesday in the Union.
