Kalm travels abroad to improve technique Traveling throughout Europe may still be a dream fo many but not for Nancy Kahn, Tokay drama instructor. From july 7 until Dec. 1, Mrs. Kahn traveled extensively in such European countries as England, France, Austria, The Neatherlands, Italy, and Yugoslavia in an effort to improve her acting and directing techniques. On a one semester leave of absence, Mrs. Kahn went to Stratfor-Upon-Avon, England and studied at the Royal Shakespeare Company QRSCL Studying at RSC was' the most exciting event of my trip, said Mrs. Kahn. Meeting RSC's actors and actresses was a real pleasure and watching many of their productions was most thrilling and interesting. To improve her directing techniques, she attended a weekend directing course at the British Theatre Association. Although Mrs. Kahn traveled mainly in Europe, most of her time was spent in England, where she saw about 80 cultural events such as opera, ballet, and theatre. Among the many plays she saw was Shakespeare's As You Like It, a production by the Royal Shakespeare Company and T.S. Elliot's Possum Cat, a book of poetry about cats.

When on his tour to spread a message of peace and love, Pope John Paul II was shot three times in St. Peter's Square before a crowd of thousands on May 13. Shock of this news rocked the thousands of people in St. Peter's Square as well as around the world. Not only was the Pope shot, but two women were wounded as well. Mehmet Ali Agca was the man charged with the shooting of the Pope and said, I couldn't care less about lUe. Nevertheless, recovering toward Sadat, and, in the act of saluting him, the officer tossed a grenade, accom- plices scrambled from the truck, and opened fire. President Reagan did not attend Sadat's funeral due to security reasons, but he in- vited former presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter, fwho had worked with Sadat in the pastj to represent the United States in a delegation led by Alexander Haig, secretary of state. Hosni Mubarak, vice president during Sadat's term, is now the new president of Egypt with a 330-0 vote. Increased tension raged throughout Ireland. The British government out-ruled the restoration of political violence U Sands died. On the 66th day of the hunger strike, Bobby Sands, 27, died on May 5, 1981. Pope John Paul II visited the prisoner on Sands' deathbed. During the hunger strike more bombings, hijackings, and riots continued in the streets of Ireland.

The 350 IRA guerrillas in the Maze prison started a hunger strike. In March 1981, Bobby Sands, the first to start the hunger strike, was serving a 14-year term for a gun law violation after a gun battle with police. Sands wanted his political status and U' he didn't get it, he would rather die. Roman Catholic ex- tremists threatened new hunger strikers in the prison.
