Opening Night Audience Applauds Shaw, Fry Plays
A fairly large opening night audience in Fraser theater last night observed a tour de force by seven student actors challenging two masters of the English language, George Bernard Shaw and Christopher Fry.
By JERRY KNUDSON
Throughout a laugh-studded evening, they competently presented Shaw's "The Dark Lady of the Sonnets" and Fry's "A Phoenix Too Frequent," directed by Dr. John Newfield.
In "The Dark Lady" Wilson O'Connell, graduate student, was magnificently hammy as Will Shakespeare. Bonnie Royer, graduate student, was regality itself every movement as Queen Elizabeth.
Patricia McGehee, fine arts junior,
conveyed the self-degradation felt
by the Dark Lady. Charles May,
college freshman, played the Beef-eater with good-humored insight.
Dorothy O'Connell, education junior, as the comic female companion, Doto, was a genuinely funny character in "Phoenix." Mary Beth Moore, college senior, will play Doto tonight and Saturday.
Cornelia Harrington, college sen-
ior, was superb as the beautiful
widow, Dynamame. Miss Harring-
ton handled masterfully the transi-
tion from the self-pitying widow
Both plays will be presented at 8:30 p.m. today, Friday, and Saturday. Students may obtain free tickets at the box office in the basement of Green hall, open daily from 10-noon and 2-4 p.m., or at the theater after 7:15 p.m.
The two sets were prepared by Robert Green, assistant professor of drawing and painting. Stewart Gordon, college captain, captured the spirit of "Phoenix" in an overture which he composed.
Spring semester class schedules are now at the state printers and will not be available until after vacation, Registrar James K. Hitt, said today. The University bulletin, now available for 1952-53, merely describes courses offered by the University.

Reds Retake Korean Hill
Seoul—(U.P.)-The Chinese Communists, hurling their biggest mass assaults in two months at UN battle line positions, smashed to the top of Little Nori hill tonight for the second time in 20 hours of savage fighting.
An estimated 3,000 screaming Chinese opened attacks on South Koreans defending six key positions on the Western front Northwest of Yonchon shortly after midnight.
The South Koreans repulsed five of them before dawn but the Reds stubbornly persisted in the attack on Little Nori until they gained the top. The ROKs won it back this afternoon.
Just after nightfall, 500 Communists surged from their trenches on Big Nori hill one mile Northeast and again drove to the top of Little Nori, recapturing the crest beneath violent artillery and mortar barrages from their own guns.
The South Koreans had to withdraw an hour after the attack began. United Nations artillery fired a thunderous bombardment at the crest and the Reds replied with one of their own.
Front line officers reported the Reds were widening their arc of fire, indicating possibly they planned to expand their gains.
Today's attacks marked the biggest concentration of Communists on the front since Oct. 6 when the Reds threw 12,000 men against White Horse mountain and Arrowhead ridge on the central front.
ROTCs Drill At 4 Today
A combined Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC review will be held on the intramural fields at 4 p.m. today as preparation for a federal review to be held in the spring.
The review consists of four parts: formation of troops, retreat, march in review, and presentation of awards.
Commanding officers of the three cadet branches and their staffs will be the reviewing officers and will select the best Air Force squadron and the best Army and Navy companies. The cadet commanding officers are Air Force, Darrell Kellogg, college senior; Army, John Musser, business junior, and Navy, Ed House, engineering senior.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Brig. Gen. W. E. Potter of the corps of engineers revealed other details of the super runway, 4,000 feet longer than any now in use at Forbes. Construction of the runway will start "early in 1953," he said at his office in Omaha, Neb.
Topeka—(U.P.)—A new 12,000-foot runway designed to carry the Air Force's heaviest jet bombers will make Forbes Air Force base here a major link in the strategic air command's global chain of bomber bases, the Air Force said today.
Col. Lynn R. Moore, Capt, William R. Terrell, and Col. Edward F. Kumpe, head of the Air Force, Navy, and Army ROTC units, will also be present in the reviewing box.

Military Talks Set For Ike in Hawaii
Aboard USS Helena-(U.P.)-President-elect Dwight D. Eisenhower, nearing the end of his historic trip to the Korean battlefront, arrived in Pearl Harbor today for high-level military talks before returning to New York.
This 17,000-ton heavy cruiser pulled into Pearl Harbor from Wake Island shortly before 8 a.m., HST, (noon CST) and was expected to dock at about 8:30 a.m.
Gen. Eisenhower will continue to New York this weekend and will meet with Gen. Douglas MacArthur to hear the former Far East commander's formula for ending the Korean war.
Gen. Eisenhower and key members of the administration who go into office with him in January, military leaders and staff members who have been leap-frogging across the Pacific by plane and ship will meet in Hawaii today.
There were no formal naval salutes, but the President-elect will leave the ship to a musical salute from a Navy band and he will accept a salute from a Marine Corps armored guard.
Military discussions presumably will include speculation about the nature of Gen. MacArthur's "clear and definite solution" to the Korean war.
The best judgment of persons close to Gen. Eisenhower was that the President-elect's expression of interest in Gen. MacArthur's plan did not mean he was considering giving the former Far East commander a post in the government or sending him back to the Orient.
Then he will parade in a motorcade through Honolulu, where 150,-000 citizens were expected to be lining the streets to cheer his arrival. The secret service insisted the size of the motorcade be limited.
Gen. Eisenhower told Gen. Mac-Arthur yesterday in a cable that he wanted to obtain "the full benefit of your thinking and experience."
Gen. Eisenhower and his staff, who began their voyage aboard the Helena last Friday at Guam and who were joined by more of his cabinet at Wake, wound up nearly a week of intensive conference yesterday afternoon, confident they had drawn up the basic blueprint for the next administration.
AtomSplitting Gun Built at Stanford
Stanford, Calif. (U.R.)—A new atom splitting "gun," which fires electron bullets at the highest velocities ever attained, was expected today to open new fields in atomic research.
And a 6-foot version of the "gun" built here by Stanford university is now under construction as a weapon against cancer.
Known as an electron linear accelerator, it was unveiled yesterday and is comparable to the cyclotron, synchrotron and cosmotron. Research scientists working at Stanford university's microwave laboratory said they expected it to expand atomic research.
KU Calendar on Sale After Week's Delay
The KU calendar, a project of the class of '53, went on sale today at several campus and downtown locations after a delay of several days caused by a binding shortage.
The calendar, which sells for $1,
contains 74 pages which include
26 pictures, 9 cartoons, and lists
of major activities for each month.
They are currently being sold in most of the organized houses, at the Student Union bookstore, Information booth, business office of the Daily Kansan, and also will be available at several additional places next week.
Bribery Charge Still Stalemated
Topeka, Kan.—(U.P.)A state representative's charge that an agent of a Topeka architectural firm offered him $50,000 to secure contracts for the state office building remained staled today.
A spokesman in the office of Attorney General Harold R. Fatzer said a letter signed by Rep. Howard Bentley, Kinsley Republican, may have arrived, marked "personal" for Mr. Fatzer, but that nothing had been received which could be discussed.
Mr. Fatzer was at Sea Island, Ga., where he was elected president of the National Association of State Attorneys General yesterday. His office said he was due Monday.
the office building commission chairman, Sen. Riley MacGregor, ordered Rep. Bentley's letter sent to Mr. Fatzer "for such action as he sees fit." Charles Marshall, secretary of the commission, said he mailed the letter Tuesday night.
Rep. Bentley charged that John Harvey had offered him "10 per cent of the total architectural fees, or roughly $50,000" if Rep. Bentley would help secure contracts for the $8,000,000 structure for Mr. Harvey's firm.
Thomas W. Williamson and Victor Loebsack, who employed Mr. Harvey two months as special representative for their Topeka architectural and engineering firm, have made no further statement since Mr. Williamson last Monday night declared "I believe John Harvey is an honest man, and it will have to be proved differently before I believe otherwise."
Mr. Harvey denied Rep. Bentley's charge as "ridiculous and unfounded in fact."
Morocco Outlaws Communist Parties
Casablanca, French Morocco — (U.P.)—French authorities outlawed the Communists and powerful Nationalist Istigal Moroccan parties today and expelled 12 Communist leaders to France.
The outlawing of the two parties and expulsion of the Communists climaxed a roundup of more than 1,000 Communists and Nationalists. The arrests deprived the Istiqlal and communist parties of their leadership.
The two parties had been accused by the French of "collusion" in bloody Nationalist riots this week in the French protectorate.
