Faculty Club Audience Enjoys Readings By Prof.Crafton
Allen Crafton, professor emeritus of speech and drama, tickled the funny bone of young and old with his interpretation of "The Odyssey of Runyon Jones" and "How Come Christmas?"
Speaking to a group of faculty members and their families at the Faculty Club recently, Prof. Craf-
Police Check Prowler Tip
City police were called at 3 a.m. this morning to the Phi Kappa Tau house after three Phi Tau's reported a prowler entering the house. The man escaped after finding some lights still burning.
Richard Whitaker, Kansas City junior, told Lawrence police that a man entered the house about 2:50 am. and made his way about half-way up the stairs to the second floor of the Phi Tau house.
GEORGE GRONEMAN, Kansas City freshman, was at his desk studying. "I heard him come about half way up, but I just thought it one of the up in the house," he said.
Whitaker had seen the figure down the steps north of Douthart Hall, across the street from the Ph Tau house. "He came past the house about 2:30 a.m. last night and stopped and looked at the house for a long period of time and then went on," Whitaker said. "He did the same tonight . . . just stood there awhile.
"AFTER HEARING the door open,
I looked out and saw that the man had disappeared from the steps. So I went in and woke up Dennis Bowers, Kansas City junior, and together we went downstairs to investigate.
We searched the house but nobody was there and the door was closed.
Evidently he must have left after seeing lights and hearing the movements upstairs." Whitaker said.

ton took the parts of nine characters in a radio play about a boy — Runyon Jones — and his dog Pootsie.
CHILDREN IN the audience listened intently as Prof. Crafton dramatized Runyon's search for Pootsie, an inverteate "car-chaser and tire biter." In his latest escape with cars Pootsie had been bit and is now in "curgatory."
Prof. Crafton became a grauff clerk, a brisk secretary, the feeble-voiced Father Time and kind Mother Nature as Runyon continued his search.
Roark Bradford's "How Come Christmas?" was a dialogue in which a group of Negroes try to determine who came first; Jesus or Santa Claus?
In oldstyle Southern Negro dialect Prof. Crafton tells how "everybody was givin' the poor little Jesus presents because they thought he was goin' to grow up and chop off their heads."
WHEN SANTA HEARS "Miss Mary" had a baby he takes poor little Jesus an apple. This makes the child so happy the Lawd says that "Santie Claus will live forever to make my children happy."
"The Lawd made Jesus for grown folks, but chillin gotta have some fun too and so he made Santie Claus." Prof Crafton concluded.
ASC Members Will Be Sworn In

The Council is expected to approve delegates to the Big-Eight Student Government Conference to be held December 14th and 15th in Columbia, Mo.

A report on the ASC elections is also slated for tonight's session. John Stuckey, Pittsburg junior and elections chairman, will make recommendations for future ASC elections.
