Lawrence play looks at alcohol, people
By Bryce J. Tache
Kansan staff writer
Bucking broncos, bullriders and rodeo clowns will be on stage this weekend at the Lawrence Community Theatre.
"Rough Stock" will be performed at 8 tonight and tomorrow night at the theater, 1501 New Hampshire St. It is the last of two productions in the theater's "Plays in Progress" series, which is designed to give local playwrights a chance to present new plays for the first time.
The plot involves Ray, a teen-age boy spending a summer with his father, and his struggle to find a definition of masculinity, she said.
Set in western Kansas, the play depicts men and women who follow the rodeo circuit, said director Cathy Beinking.
"The boy's father is an alcoholic womanizer with physical prowess," she said. "He's what we think of as being macho. On the other hand, there is another character who used to drink but has quit. He respects women but might not be what we call macho."
She said Ray learned the difference between physical strength and strength of character.
the playwright, Ric Averill, had created a character that seemed perfect for him.
Jake Perman, who plays Ray, said
The play is about dependency on people and alcohol, Perlman said.
Although Ray is a high school dropout, he is intelligent, Perman said.
"I think there's more than education at school," Perlman said. "And that is education of self."

He said Averill had created a
Reinking agreed. She said the script continually was changing, which was normal for a new play. Consequently, the play will be performed with scripts in hand.
To the beat of their own drum
Because of limited rehearsal time, the series productions are routinely performed with scripts on stage, Reinking said.

Native Americans dance at hall
Kansan staff writer
Residents at McCollim Hall found more than long lines and dorm food at dinner last night.
As they feasted on Indian tacos, corn, green chili stew with fry bread and pumpkin fruit pies, the residents were entertained by students of the Lawrence High Native American Club.
The students sat mesmerized by the pounding and chanting as the club's dancers swirled around stomping their feet and letting out an occasional cry. They danced together, but alone, absorbed in concentration.
Residents were asked to join the dancers in a dance similar to the two-step. They were cheered on by fellow residents as they participated in the tradition of another culture.
together, both women. Their costumes, handmade by the students, consisted of multi-colored feathers, leather and beads, including elaborate headaddresses that nearly hid some of the
dancers.
Catherine Pecher, Bartvillele, Okla., junior, was one of the residents asked to join in the dance. Pecher said that she had attended similar dances in Oklahoma but that this was the first time she has seen one at McCollum.
McCollum sponsored the event as part of diversity month in the residence halls.
The club, which was formed three years ago, comprises Lawrence High students and some students from South Junior High who have performed in five area schools, said Lynn Saunders, faculty sponsor. Anyone can be a member. Twenty people from different tribes now are in the club.
Yale professor lauds storytelling
Kansan staff writer
By Eric Gorski
Storytelling is one of the most effective methods of explaining environmental change, a Yale University associate professor of history said last night.
William Cronon spoke to an audience of about 350 in the Spencer museum of Art auditorium. His speech was called "Dust Bowl Tales: Stories of Environmental Change."
Cronon said stories conveyed feeling and helped bridge the gap between past and present and between humans and nature.
"When the past is seen chronologically, it's not easy for us to see the meaning," Cronon said. "Without a story, it's difficult and sometimes impossible to understand."
understand.
He compared examples of Great Plains literature and said the narrative structure was embedded in human nature. It helps make sense out of life.

The Dust Bowl, which occurred in the 1930s, was one of the three worst environmental disasters to plague the Earth, Crionon said.
the Earth. Corn bales
Massive soil erosion and dust storms swept western Kansas and the rest of the southern plains, destroying crops and severely damaging the U.S. economy.
Cronon said both positive and negative stories came out of this literary time period.
Cronon praised Donald Worster, KU professor of history, for his 1979 book, "Dust Bows," which told the story of the time period from an anti-capitalist, pessimistic viewpoint.
Cronon's speech was the third of the five-lecture "Environment in Crisis" series, a joint effort of Student Union Activities and the Environmental Studies Program. Greenpeace spokesman Christopher Childs opened the series Feb. 6, and S. Ahmed Meer of the U.S. State Department spoke Feb. 14.
Palestine homeland necessary, prof says
Mideast peace is impossible without a Palestinian homeland, and U.S. aid to Israel hinders prospects for a compromise, a former Kansas State University faculty member said yesterday.
By Chris Siron
Kansan staff writer
Sarah D. Shields, a former assistant professor of history, spoke to about 50 people last night at Alderson Auditorium. Her speech was sponsored by American Friends of Palestine, a KU group concerned with Palestinian society and culture.
Shields said she was Jewish but recognized the validity of Arab claims to parts of Israeli-controlled territory.
She said that although the United Nations granted 54 percent of Palestine to Jews after World War II, Israel unfairly had expanded its territory.
Although Arabs grudgingly accepted the partition, she said, Israelis called it temporary and vowes to expand their control in the control
She said Israelis used tactics, including the destruction of Arab homes and the deportation of Arab dissidents, to force Arabs out of Palestine. Israel then claims the recreated territory as unsettled land.
Shields said about 40 percent of the world's Arab population was under Israel's control.
She said some Israelis recognized the unfairness of their nation's policies. But they were stifled by militant Israelis who used U.S. aid to finance the repression of Arabs.
"Irael now receives more money than any other nation, about $500 million, or almost $1,400 per Israeli citizen," she said. "It allows the Israel government to insist on a pure Israel state without Arab represent-
She said that although some Arabs opposed a negotiated settlement, Israel was more to blame for the lack of progress.
"I'm sorry to say I'm not optimistic about change," she said. "Jews have no intention to return territory."
She said the fact that Israel continued to disrupt water and electricity in Arab areas to supply new Israeli settlements showed that Israel was not interested in compromise.
Israel's acquisition of territory was an economic matter that did nothing to improve its defensive capabilities with modern war abilities, she said.
She said people needed to convince Israel that peace was in its best interest.
Daniel Zevitz, Overland Park senior who said he was Jewish, said he agreed with Shields' conclusions. He said he supported the division of Palestine as necessary for peace.
