Mingling with royalty Five actors from the Royal Shakespeare Company of London opened an American tour with a week in residence on the Lawrence campus January 21-28. The actors presented workshops and gave lectures and performances-the highlight of which was the performance of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," specially adapted for five actors. Each of the actors brought extensive stage, screen, and television experience with them. All were Ethel M. Barber (M-D '34) Visiting Artists.

The actors, left ro right: David Gwi/lim, Patrick Godfrey, Louise Jameson, Domini Blythe, and Trevor Baxter. Trevor Baxter brought a new perspective to a Latin class.

Louise Jameson, left, confers with a student after class.

LAWRENCE TODAY I Alaska-America's last frontier. A land of extremes, where temperatures never rise above -40 ° Fin February, and the sun never sets in June. The village Eskimos live off the land, hunting seal, walrus, and beluga whale. There are no roads. Mike and lenni Ester Remillard, both '78, are there. They live in Kotzebue, a comparatively large coastal town north of the Arctic Circle with a population of 3000, 85 percent of which is Inupiat Eskimo. Mike is a dentist and commissioned officer in the U.S. Public Health Service; he practices in Kotzebue and villages within a 200-mi/e radius. lenni manages the Kotzebue library. Their letters to family and friends tell of camping in the frigid temperatures, waking to the sound of a wolf prowling about their camp, and eating caribou burgers with mitten-covered hands. Their letters are full of adventure and a growing fondness for the frontier they call home.

In their study, Longley and Oleszek found that members of conference committees use the conference "as a mix of two divergent ends: influence over legislation and influence for the self."

Four pilot programs in the series have been shown on public TV. The program taped in October will be shown in the spring or early fall of 1984.

Fall roundup

Football On their way to the American League playoffs last summer, the Chicago White Sox popularized the saying, "winning ugly." The Vikings applied the same philosophy to their football season. While it wasn't always pretty, the end result was usually a good one for the Vikings, who continued their win­ ning tradition with a 7-2 record in 1983. Fans accustomed to seeing the Vikings blow away their opponents were on the edge of their seats more than once this season, as four of the Vikes' seven wins were decided by nine points or less. The Vikings' seven victories enab­ led them to pass the 400-win mark in the school's history. Lawrence became only the lOth school in NCAA Division lii history to reach the 400-win plateau. The Vikings' 405 career wins currently rank them ninth in the country.
