2 Men's Dorms To Be Named After Teachers
The names of two former teachers at the University of Kansas will be memorialized by naming two new men's dormitories O'Leary and Carruth halls, Chancellor Franklin
Murphy announced today.
The connected 100-man units are now being built on West Campus road at a cost of $75,000. Occupancy is expected for the fall of 1955.
The halls will be named for R. D. O'Leary, professor of English for 40 years until his death in 1936; and William Herbert Carruth, professor of German 1880-1913.
The old chancellor's residence at the corner of 14th and Louisiana streets was named for Mr. Carruth when it became a men's scholarship hall in 1940. That building was razed last summer to make way for Douthart hall, so the Carruth name will be perpetuated in one of the new structures.

Phi Delta Theta, *Alpha Tau Omega*, Phi Gamma Delta, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon are the social fraternities which already have withdrawn from Fach-NOW. Chi Omega and Kappa Alpha Theta, social sororites, seceded with the men last week.
The current Broadway season was called the most encouraging and vital season since the end of the war by John Beaufort, drama critic of the Christian Science Monitor, in a speech yesterday in Fraser theater.
"Downbeat, crazy, mixed - up characters" are the words Mr. Beaufort used to describe many recent heroines. Listing "Summer and Smoke," "A Streetcar Named Desire," "I am a Camera," "Come Back, Little Sheba," and "The Shrike," he called the women in the plays drearies." He said that he had to turn to the musical comedies to get a healthy, normal heroine—but "this year the women in the drama are real women," he said.
"Picnic," the Pulitzer prize play by William Inge, is the story of five frustrated, love-hungry women, he said.
Mr Beaufort said that the type of play based around neurotic pressure and nervousness is greatly exaggerated. He called such a play, "In the Summer House," by Jane Bowles, one "written from the end of a raw nerve.
Six more Greek—four fraternities and two sororities—houses seceded yesterday from the recently combined Pachacamac-NOW political party and have joined forces with the new Allied Greek-independent political party.
The current Broadway season, as reviewed by Mr. Beaufort, includes the following shows:
They are Delta Delta Delta, Sigma Kappa, Gamma Phi Beta, and Alpha Chi Omega, social sororities; Sigma Nu, and Tau Kappa Epsilon, social fraternities.

Six More Houses Quit Pach-NOW
Valenti Concert Poorly Attended
By R. H. CHESKY
Fernando Valenti, concert harpsichordist, performed last night in Strong auditorium before an' audience which compensated for its numerical sparseness with admiration and appreciation.
The selections interpreted by Mr. Valenti were charming in every sense of the word. There was a sort of orderly beauty, devoid of pretention or bombast, in each number on the program, and if the audience was not deeply moved, it was at least bemused.
If last night's program was a representative example, the harpichord would not seem to be an instrument for the conveying of deep emotional feeling. Yet it does offer a means of expression for a certain dignity as well as great technical virtuosity.
In these senses, Mr. Valenti seemed to be every inch a master of his instrument.
Faculty Follies, a show sponsored by the Associated Women Students will be at 8 p.m. today, will feature an auction of faculty services.

Coffee Shortage Blamed on Frost By 4 Housewives
Washington — (U.J.F.)— Four housewives go before a special Senate subcommittee today prepared to put the blame on frost for the high price of coffee.
After viewing thousands of acres of frost-damaged coffee trees, they came back convinced it was the weather, not speculators, that caused the price hike.
The housewives, all officials of the General Federation of Women's clubs, recently returned from a trip to Brazil at the invitation of the Brazilian government.
Invited to testify before a Senate banking subcommittee investigating the soaring cost of coffee are Mrs. Theodore S. Chapman, Jerseyville, Ill., first vice president of the federation; Mrs. Zaio W. Schroeder, Grosse Pointe, Mich., the Federation's international affairs chairman; Mrs. Gilbert F. Loebs, Waterville, Me, chairman of the consumer committee, and Mrs. Carl E. Swanbeck of Huron, Ohio, a Republican candidate for the Ohio legislature.
When they returned from their inspection tour, the clubwomen noted that even in Brazil the world's largest coffee producer, a small cup of coffee costs 6 cents. And they said the coffee South American housewives sip is inferior to the brand shipped north.
Meanwhile, the Inter-American Economic and Social council issued a report today spelling more bad news of coffee drinkers. It said the Brazilian frost "has dimmed the outlook for an adequate world supply of coffee for the next five years."
However the organization blamed the recent price hike on "a long era of poor prices . . . which left the industry on its knees" and the world supply of coffee at its lowest point in recent years.
