The Rover Boys Report
CHOW DOWN-Eating out may be fun, but oh those dishes. Tom Stewart and Clarke Keys, camping out in the "wilds" of Fowler Grove, find that it's not quite like washing dishes at home.
Campers Find Weather Brisk for Breakfast
By CLARKE KEYS and TOM STEWART
Baby, it's cold outside!
At 6:45 a.m. today, our little travel alarm clock started mouthing off, and when we crawled out of our sacks we found out for the first time what all our "advisors" were talking about when they said the weather would be our biggest problem.
Come On Now, Gals! Outdo Them Males
Girls! Now is our time to shine and show the male centennial celebrators that we can outdo them in the way of western pioneer attire.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week will be the days to wear the costumes on the campus to class. Don't be self-conscious about wearing great-grandmother's old calco or muslin dress and high top boots. You won't be in style unless you are displaying something from the 1800's.
If you cannot find the appropriate dress, pantaloons, hoop skirts, peti-coats, or sunbonnets, find some cowboy boots, a bright blaid skirt (western style), a holster with gun, and, of course, a huge hat and scarf around the neck which typified the old "rough 'n ready" west.
Come on and join the celebration and if you do not have any relies floating around your closet, rig up something and come to the party. Judging will be held in the Reading room of the School of Journalism at 4 p.m. Friday, and prizes will be awarded to the winners of the men and women's costumes.
Weather
Kansas received one to two inches of snow. The forecast is cloudy through tomorrow. Occasional rain south and rain or snow northwest spreading over the remainder of the state today and continuing tonight. Colder in most of state today. A little warmer tomorrow. High today 45-50. Low tonight 35-42.
Kansas will average half an inch of precious, most welcome moisture before the aerial spigot is turned
off tomorrow morning, according to's t a t e weatherman, Tom Arnold. L i g h t rain fell in all of Kansas today except the northeast corner of the state. Northwest
◀ Not that it was like spending the winter at Valley Forge. It was only what the weatherman calls "nippy"—which is hardly breakfast weather.
The dances will be original with movements created and costumes designed by those performing the dance.
First on the agenda was the lighting of the fire, accomplished, according to Scout tradition, with the allowed two matches. In a few minutes (about 20), we had boiling water for instant coffee, and pretty soon thereafter we were stowing away lots of bacon and a couple of eggs aplie.
The AFROTC women's drill team will meet at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Military Science building for practice.
Our experiment with toast was fatal to the first piece of bread, but slice No. 2 came through beautifully. Rather than dirty a knife in spreading butter, we sort of "wrote" the butter onto the toast, holding the two like a pencil and slate.
The dance story concerns a girl who sells tickets in an airplane office. She falls asleep and dreams about all of the exciting places she has seen advertised. Interpretative dances are done to songs about other countries and various parts of the United States.
Tau Sigma, modern dance fraternity, will give a recital entitled "Beyond the Blue Horizon" at 8 p.m. today in Fraser theater.
Women's Drill Team to Meet
The weather seems to be obliging enough. The wind last night wasn't too nasty, except when it came directly from the south and caused the tent to balloon. Now if those lousy clouds will move on we'll breathe easier.
Modern Dance Group To Present Recital
Lunch today found the following menu: soup (canned), corn (canned), milk (from a carton), peaches (canned), and fig-newtons (out of a box). For dinner tonight, we expect to char these: French fried potatoes, cheeseburgers, green beans, and anything else combustible.
Band, Orchestra Open Tour Today
Ask McCarthy Sub In Army Hearings
The 110-piece KU band and the 80-piece KU orchestra directed by Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, will play eight concerts on a six-day tour which began today and will end Sunday. The tour will extend from central Kansas to Kansas City, Mo.
The band and orchestra each will present a 55-minute concert of symphonic music varied with solo numbers. Soloists with the orchestra will be Allen Hall, fine arts senior, piano; Dale Moore, fine arts senior, operatic baritone; and Oliga Zilboorg, fine arts junior, cellist. Leo Horaceck, instructor in music education, will be trumpet soloist with the band.
The schedule began last night when the orchestra gave its annual spring concert in Hoch auditorium. The tour will end with the orchestra playing a full length concert Sunday in the Music hall at Kansas City, Mo.
Washington—(U.P.)—Republican leaders applied increasing pressure today to get Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy to step down from his investigating subcommittee during its hearings on his row with the Army.
GOP National Chairman Leonard W. Hall threw his weight into the effort as the subcommittee called a secret meeting today to discuss plans for its sensation-packed inquiry.
Mr. Hall told newsmen in Philadelphia last night that there is the "thread of good American fair play" in the proposal that Sen. McCarthy surrender his seat while the subcommittee investigates A r m y charges that he and his chief counsel, Roy M. Cohn, used pressure to get favored treatment for a drafted McCarthy investigator.
Mr. Hall's statement gave support to reports that the White House backed the plan to have Sen. McCarthy step down from the subcommittee while the hearings are conducted. However, Mr. Hall refused to say if his views were those of the administration.
Senator GOP leaders William F. Knowland (Cal.) and Homer Ferguson (Mich.) already have been pushing the same idea. But there was some disagreement on the subcommittee.
Sen. Stuart Symington (D.-Mo.) said he would insist that Sen. McCarthy appoint another Republican to take his place and predicted the two other subcommittee Democrats would back his stand. But Sen. Charles E. Potter (R.-Mich.) said the group could not take away Sen. McCarthy's right to keep his seat. Sen. McCarthy has refused to say whether he would step aside, although he has agreed not to vote on investigation matters.
The subcommittee meanwhile faced so many other problems as it met that there were indications the inquiry might not get underway next Monday as it has hoped. For one thing, temporary Chairman Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D) still hasn't been able to line up a prominent attorney to serve as counsel for the investigation although he hoped to have one on tap for today's "progress report" meeting.
Last Night's Comical Play Delights All
Bv GENE SHANK
A delighted audience was taken far away into the land of Alverstantinople last night when the curtain raised on the fairyland production of "Rumpelstiltskin."
The "obs" and "abs" of the fascinated children in the audience were enough to convince anybody that the Studio Theatre was presenting a playful evening of pure fun.
But the children weren't the only ones enjoying the show. No girl Both students and parents soon forgot their ages and "grown-up" troubles and cynicisms, and drifted along to the make-believe theme.
Dee Ann Price, fine arts junior, appeared as the narrator, who told of the land of Alverstantinople and the plight of poor Mary Miller, played by Joan Ryan, college sophomore, who swirled straw into gold by King Mergaterd III, played by Ronald Johnson, college freshman.
Much of the shows' success can be attributed to the direction of Mark Gilman, education senior, who handled the play lightly, and directed it for the sheer delight of children. Furthermore, the cast obviously was having such a big time telling the tale, that the play skipped speedily along, keeping the children entertained.
But woe! Mary Miller could not spin the straw—that is, until a funny old man, whose name was ironically discovered at the end of the play, came to her rescue. The funny old man (Rumpelslitskin, of course) was played delightfully by David Horr, college freshman.
Three very funny characters, who arrived on the stage to search for Rumpelstilskins's name, 'were the "not-too-smart" scholars.
Small Group Hears Concert
R. H. CHESKY
It wouldn't be quite honest to say that last night's concert of the University Symphony orchestra was inspiring. But it would also be less than fair to put all the blame on the orchestra itself.
OLGA ZILBOORG
It might be suggested that the dismal spectacle of the orchestra's director and personnel moving furniture on the stage might be avoided by a small measure of support to the orchestra on the part of the University administration.
This university, which is sometimes referred to as a cultural center, managed to produce an audience of 250 persons—hardly an awesome assemblage in the spacious confines of Hoch auditorium. One almost felt the orchestra was to be commended for going through with the performance in the face of such wide-spread apathy.
The orchestra was impressive in some of the lyrical passages of Aaron Copland's "Appalachian Spring." Rimsky - Korsakova's suite, "Scheherazade," was spotlessly performed at best.
the solos of Olga Zilburo, cellist, and Dale Moore, baritone, were completely performed on the whole, although not unmarried by occasional technical blemishes. Miss Zilburo gave evidence of the ability which has earned her an extremely high reputation among musicians on the campus, but one felt that some more appealing selection might have been made for her than Schumann's "Concerto in A minor." The number was difficult and impressive from the viewpoint of skills required to perform it, but all the same, it's not the sort of thing the audience will demand again and again.
