'Macbeth' competes in contest

KU's adaptation of "Macbeth" was one of five productions that performed at the Region V American College Theatre Festival in St. Louis from Jan. 17 to 21.
Bonald Willis, professor of theater and film, directed the modern interpretation of the Shakespearean play that was staged at KU last November.
Wills said "Macbeth" was one of two regional productions to be considered for the national ACTF competition in April at the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
The ACTF board will announce in late February who will perform in Washington, Willis said.
Katheryne Pryor, assistant to the director of the University Theatre, said schools from Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota were for the regional festival contest.
More than 40 KU faculty, staff and students attended the festival, she said.
Willis said, "The idea of reviving
a show, setting up sets in a limited time, rehearsing with equally limited time and performing before a high-powered audience was a test of the students' theater interest and ability."
In addition to performing, Willis said, students attended workshops and classes concerning subjects from set designing to the safe use of stage weapons.
Christopher Hayes, Olathe junior, who played the part of Macbeth, said that the festival was tiring but that he hoped the hard work would pay off.

Media need diversity, speaker says
Because the majority of media employees are white males, the news audience is not getting the whole story, a media spokesman said last night.
Carolyn Carlson, national president of the Society of Professional Journalists, said the imbalance did not reflect racism by news organizations but rather was a reflection of an old system.
"I think we're only getting half the story," said Carlson, who addressed a forum of about 20 people at the School of Journalism. "I think it's the result of a system that exists that ought to change."
Fifty-four percent of the nation's daily newspapers had no minority employees in October 1989, according to The Quill, a journalism trade publication.
Carlson said that the society had set up committees to address the problem.
"We have an obligation to make sure minorities are in the newsroom," she said.
Women are faring better than minority groups. In the next few years, more women will be in the media work force, she said. She said that journalism schools had enrolled more women than men.
"That's true nationwide," said Carlson, an associated Press news-
writer in Atlanta. "For almost a decade, 70 percent of all journalism graduates have been women."
She said that most of the women now in media were bunched at the lower end of the management scale. But because of higher enrollment, she predicted this would change.
"You can go into any newsroom, and you'll find that most of the reporters are women and the bosses are men," she said. "There are going to move from, more women are going to move into the management ranks."
Of the 1,059 students in the School of Journalism, 677, or 64 percent, are women, said Mary Wallace, assistant dean of journalism.
