Two Negro students are shown looking at the type of sign used by restaurant owners to keep out Negroes. The sign reads "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." To illustrate the point, the sign was made up by the Dally Kansan and posted at the Student Union—the eating establishment on the Hill where Negroes are not discriminated against. Students looking at the sign are Stanley Scott, college freshman, a n d Delcina Guest, fine arts.

rations of the raucous star, the wisecracking producer, a whining director, an idealistic young playwright, and a handful of spiteful hangers-on.
All of them are sure they have discovered a genius in the unknown author until rudely disillusioned when the audience walks out on them at the premiere, they slink back to the hotel to deride each and insult the playwright.
"Light Up the Sky," Moss Hart's Broadway hit comedy about show business, will be presented at 8 p.m. today in Fraser theater by the Kansas State players.
The play is part of the Kansas Theater forum which will be held at the University Friday and Saturday. It is under the direction of Prof. Earl G. Hoover.
Much has been said of the similarity of this comedy's characters to many of the best known footlight folk such as Billy Rose, Eleanor Holm, and Gertrude Lawrence. Moss Hart, author of the play, insists, however, that his characters "are all bits and pieces of the thousands of people I have encountered in my theatrical experience."
Kansas State Players Group Presents Broadway Comedy
The action of "Light Up the Sky" revolves around a tryout of a new play in Boston and its attendant tribulations.
This performance will be open to the public, but there will be no advance sale of tickets and no reserved seats. ID cards will admit University students. Season ticket holders may present their ticket stubs for admittance. Tickets to high school students will cost $5.00 and to other persons $1.

NAACP Leader to Address Public Forum on Brotherhood
After the lecture and panel discussion, a brotherhood award, in the form of a scroll, will be presented to "some member of the University community who has done most in the past year to promote a spirit of brotherhood in the community." Ben Holman, journalism senior, who will act as moderator, said today.
A five member panel—Mr. Johnson; Dr E. Gordon Ericksen, assistant professor of sociology; Donald Horner, college junior; Helen Maerow, education senior, and Cornelius Groves, college junior—also will discuss the topic, "Should minority groups become more militant in their efforts toward equal rights?"
Students Oppose Cafe Race Barrier
By BOB STEWART
Ninety-seven of 100 students interviewed in a spot poll by Daily Kansan reporters voiced opinions in favor of eliminating discrimination from the four private-owned Hill restaurants.
An education junior pointed out, "The restraurers are made for public service, and the Negroes are part of the public."
Specific question asked by reporters was "Do you object to the admittance of Negroes in restaurants in Lawrence"? By asking this question, the Kansas State Department to restaurants would mean an appreciable loss of business to restaurant proprietors, as they claim.
Most of the Hill restaurant proprietors have admitted they have no prejudice on the issue, but don't favor admittance of Negroes for their "customers' sake."
Favorable comments in the poll ranged from the most enthusiastic to the most reserved opinions.
Results of this poll show that students, who furnish the bulk of business to Hill restaurants, are overwhelmingly in favor of admittance of Negroes.
One college freshman said, "By breaking down this racial prejudice shown in Lawrence restaurants, we can set an example for other cities to follow. In doing this, we can, in this city, give Negroes what has been promised them since the Civil war—freedom and equality."
A business senior said, "It's time we realized that there are more important things than the color of skin to consider when we want to be exclusive. Negroes and whites seem to enjoy eating in the Hawk's Nest side by side. There is no reason why this couldn't work in Lawrence restaurants."
One woman, a college sophomore, said simply, "I think it's silly to restrict eating places."
Another woman, also a college sophomore, said, "Negro_ students are a part of our University, and as a part of our student body they should be accorded all rights and privileges which are given to all other students."
Another girl, an education senior, said, "If we can sit with them in class, why draw the line at eating?"
Three others interviewed gave these reasons for not favoring elimination of discriminatory restrictions:
One engineering senior said, "It doesn't bother me none."
business junior said "I think many white people who had previously eaten in Lawrence would drop their patronage."
An engineering freshman said "I think restaurant owners should be allowed to choose their own customers."
An education junior said "America is founded on free enterprise, and while I have nothing personal against any race, I feel that local restaurant owners still have the right to serve or refuse service to anyone they see fit. If a segment of the campus students feel that they are justified in forcing their way into privately owned places against the will of the owners, I would say that democracy is falling to function."

It is difficult to select an outstanding actor when all did so well. If one must be selected, that one would be Mary Beth Moore, college junior, who played the leading roles of the twin brother and sister, Sebastian and Viola.
Miss Moore handled the difficult dual part nicely. She had to change her voice quality to create the effect of two persons. As Sebastian, she needed a deeper, manlier voice, while as Cesario, the name Viola took to become a page to the Duke Orsini, she used her normal higher voice.
Bruce Bailey, college sophomore, played the part of the duke with a deep understanding. He brought the part to life and made the duke a real person.
It is not possible to stop here, however.
Miss March, especially, gave an extraordinary performance.
