Strike A Match' Gets Warm Reception
A small audience gave a warm reception for "Strike a Match" when it opened last night in Fraser theater.
The College Daze musical sponsored by Student Union Activities was well performed in a lighthearted atmosphere fostered by a fine setting, colorful costumes and a lot of songs and dances.
May Day Fete Planned by Club
The Socialist Study club will meet in the Pine room of the Union building at 4 p.m. Thursday to celebrate May day.
May day is a traditional labor and socialist holiday which originated in the United States.
In 1884, the annual convention of the Federation of Trades and Labor unions of America (later the American Federation of Labor) decided to revive the movement for an eighth-working day.
They decided that the new system should be inaugurated May 1, 1836. In Chicago this date was the occasion of the famous Haymarket riots in which a mass meeting organized by the Chicago anarchists was attacked by the police.
As a consequence of the riot eight anarchist labor leaders were tried and hanged for murder in one of the most famous frame-up trials of American history.
Soon afterward, May day became a universal holiday in the international labor movement.
Architect Thinks State is Primitive
Frank Lloyd Wright, 83-year-old father of modern architecture, thinks Kansas is still primitive.
At Manhattan where he spoke Tuesday at the annual meeting of the Kansas Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, he said, "Kansas is in a backwater. It doesn't know what goes on around the world."
He said the architecture was "General Grant Gothic" and that "it has never been anything more than a grand idea, that is a great trial on life's values."
He had little to say about K-State's pride and joy—the new field house. His only comment was a "tut tut" accompanied by a sad shade of the head.

Romantic Ring Duos for the Bride
Let us help you select
the rings that will make her happiest.
After getting off to a fast start with several good songs, the show slowed during the second scene but came back strong in the second act with a riotous "competative" duet. "Everything I Think the Man I Love Ought to Have," sung by Dee Ann Price, fine arts freshman, and Jerry Scott, college freshman, the comic leads, was the most well-received song in the show.
Jewelry Roberts Gifts
833 Mass.
Mary Beall Porch, college freshman, was lovely in the part of Connie, the campus queen and Don George, college junior, played the part of John, the shy scholar, capably.
The basic plot of John's affair with Connie was often and wisely neglected for the sake of musical numbers and comedy routines.
Dee Ann Price bounced through her part as Dotty in a very lively manner and was aided by teammate Scott in providing most of the show's laughs. His song, "Women, I'm Off 'Em" was well done and brought plenty of snickers.
The three athletes were played by George Michaels, business junior; Don Ament, business junior, and Wint Winter, business senior, who developed their parts well and pulled the show over some rough spots with their shenanigans. Their "Athlete's Song" was well liked by the audience.
Murray Trelease, college senior, as Prof. Chondriac, put over his "Professor's Song" very cleverly.
A dance by Marjean Sullivan, college sophomore, was short but attracted plenty of attention from both the athletes and the audience.
As a whole, the show was both well written and well done. The songs had clever lyrics and the story moved rapidly. Some of the transitions from music to story were slow but this difficulty will no doubt be ironed out in time for Friday and Saturday's performances when a large audience is anticipated.
Berlin(UE)—The Western Powers resumed flights over the Soviet zone of Germany between Berlin and the West today despite a Soviet fighter-plane attack on an Air France airliner yesterday.
Flights Resumed Over Red Zone
Air France, Pan American airways, British European airways and the Allied armies flew all regularly scheduled trips along the three prescribed air corridors over the Soviet zone.
The commercial flights were suspended temporarily yesterday after two Soviet MIG jets fighters riddled a Berlin-bound Air France DC-4 with bullets and shell fragments, wounding two German passengers seriously and a crew member slightly.
Each side blamed the other for the attack, which Western officials said occurred some 75 miles south-west of Berlin in the Four Power-approved Berlin-Frankfurt air corridor.
The U.S., British and French commanders yesterday sent Gen. Vassily I. Chuiuk, Soviet commander in Germany, a note protesting "energetically (against) this unwarranted attack by Soviet fighters."
Search for Stratoliner
Belem, Brazil—(U.P.)—Twenty or more planes criss-cross the wild plateaus and steaming, unchartered jungles of central and northern Brazil in a search today for a New York-bound Pan American airways Stratocruiser missing with 50 persons aboard.
The luxury two-decker airliner almost certainly crashed or attempted an emergency landing yesterday somewhere between Barreiras, deep in the jungle 775 miles north of Ride de Janeiro, an amphitheater at Rio de Janeiro coast on the Amazon river delta 800 miles farther north.
All nine crewmembers and at least 10 of the 41 passengers were Americans.
The plane, named "The Good Hope," took off from Rio de Janeiro at 10:43 p.m. Monday (EDT) for Belem and New York and last reported its position over Barreiras at 2:15 a.m. yesterday. It carried only enough gasoline to remain aloft until 2 p.m. yesterday.

Dormitory Women Foil Serenaders
The women in one University dormitory have developed an effective technique in dealing with unsolicited midnight senaderners.
Monday night when a quartet squatted on their front steps and began pitching beer cans on the lawn, they were prepared.
The four men, who were debating whether or not to push one of the girl's car down the hill, were startled by a loud "Hey" from the front porch.
Turning they were blinded with a flash bulb. Loud applause and laughter came from the dormitory.
The men moved sheepishly away. "You shouldn't have done that," one said sadly.
