Drama Group To Make Tour Of Towns In Central Kansas
A trouper's life for nearly two weeks is the prospects for 14 University students and drama teachers who will be touring central Kansas as they present Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night."
This trip also means giving up part of the week-long spring vacation and borrowing a week of school time. During April 15-25 the University Players will be presenting their version of Shakespeare's comic drama in 11 Kansas cities.
Mrs. Frances Feist, drama instructor, is the director of the production. Two other members of drama staff will be playing roles in the play. They are Herk Harvey, who will play the role of Sir Toby Belch, and Tom Rea, who will play the part of Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Several years ago as students they were playing similar leading roles. Now both are drama instructors.
Mary Beth Moore, college junior, doubles in the play as Viola and Sebastian, her brother. Miss Moore has been accepted as a member of the summer stock company at Cripple Creek, Colo.
This is the fourth consecutive year the University Players have made presentations in Kansas communities during the spring. Last year they presented Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" in 12 cities of Kansas and Oklahoma. This year they are returning to Marion and Wellington where they made presentations last year.
Players to make the trip includes Brute Bailey, Robert Londerholm, James Wallace, Shirley Strain, Dorothy O'Connell, Wilson O'Connell, Mark Gilman, Patrick Sullivan, Robert Howery, Jo Anna March, and Barbara Donovan.
Floods Continue To Ravage Iowa
Pierre, S.D. — (U.P.) The tragic silence of disaster hung over Pierre today. The muddy waters of the Missouri river boiled waist-deep down its main street and almost one-third of its population was homeless.
Everywhere was the sound of gurgling water. It poured through broken windows, through smashed doors, soaked into furniture and ruined merchandise.
On the opposite side of the river the city of Fort Pierre was "wiped out." Some houses were chimney-deep in water. Only three city blocks remained dry.
Refugees were living as many as 20 to a house in those few homes that remained dry.
The two cities counted more than 2,400 homeless persons.
But as disaster struck and passed on in South Dakota, the threat grew hourly downstream.
Sioux City, Iowa braced for a 24-
foot river level—five feet above flood stage. The crest is due next Monday or Tuesday.
Water poured through a dike early Thursday and surged around 125 outlying homes. Another 500 homes were threatened.
Architect Likes Modern Buildings
Uel C. Ramey, architect with Ramey and Ames, Wihita, expressed a strong belief in contemporary architecture Thursday at a meeting of the KU student chapter American Institute of Architects.
Mr. Ramey told the group that his firm, a leading proponent of contemporary architectural trends, had reached the point where it had to turn down contracts for any but contemporary buildings.
He defined his ideas of contemporary architecture in this way:
1. The building must satisfy the fuerte client's aesthetic requirements of the client.
2. It must satisty and have aesthetic appeal for the public.
3. It is an architecture which is built only for a particular place, and which must be able to meet conditions present in that location.
Mr. Ramey's firm currently is in charge of designing the new Immanuel Lutheran church at 17th and Vermont. This building will carry out his ideas of architecture.
Outstanding Senior Woman Named
Beverly Jennings, college senior, has been named "outstanding senior woman" by the University branch of the American Association of University Women.
Miss Jennings was given a year's membership in a Kansas branch of the AAUW at a coffee Thursday morning at the Faculty club. About 100 graduating seniors attended the coffee.
Miss Jennings is a past president of the Associated Women Students, a cheerleader, a member of Mortar Board, honor society for senior women, and a freshman dormitory counselor at Corbin hall.
NEW WOMEN'S RESIDENCE—Plans are being made now for open house Sunday, May 4, of the new women's residence hall at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City.

building adioins the present nurses home on the north.
Jerusalem, Rome Participate In Good Friday Ceremonies
Jerusalem—(U.P)—Roman Catholics and Protestants retraced Christ's last steps along the Via Dolorosa today in the old city of Jerusalem.
The devout made their way solemnly out of the secluded Garden of Gethsemane, past the olive trees under which Judas betrayed his Master, to the site of the hall where Christ was condemned to death.
Then they went along the Way of the Cross to the holy sepulchre where the holy women found the stone rolled away on that first Easter Sunday morning almost 2,000 years ago.
In Rome the Vatican radio for the first time prepared to broadcast to the world Christ's "Seven Last Words" during his crucifixion.
Symbolically, skies in Rome were
KU Bacteriologist To Present Report
Miss Cassandra Ritter, bacteriologist for the state water laboratory at the University, will present a research report to the Missouri Valley section of the Society of American Bacteriologists meeting today and Saturday at Norman, Okla.
Miss Ritter will report on "Survival of Histoplasma Capsulatum in Water."
This will be the first report on a study directed by Prof. Dwight Metzler, chief engineer for the state board of health, and supported by a grant from the U.S. public health service. It is aimed at determining if histoplasmosis, a disease with symptoms similar to those of tuberculosis, is transmitted through surface water supplies.

Keller Offered Coaching Position
John Keller, a star member of the Kansas basketball team, has been offered the coaching job at Great Bend High school.
But Keller has asked for time to make up his mind. He probably won't reach a decision until after the Olympic competition.
The job at Great Bend was vacated recently by Al Burns, former Kansas State college star, who in six years at the school compiled a record of 106-45. Burns will remain on the faculty and coach freshman basketball.
UN Troops Prepare To Observe Easter
Eighth Army Headquarters, Korea (U.P.)Crosses were erected on the shell-pocked hilltops of Korea today as troops of many nations prepared to observe Easter.
Services will be held as near the front as possible, at least to regimental level, and at some points probably within sound of gunfire.
More than 7,000 persons are ex-
panded on service in the
Nam San, (Shrine), (Neoul,
Seoul).
At one place soldiers will form a living cross in a natural amphitheater.

Orchestra Plays Well
Unusual talent was shown by the Wyandotte High school orchestra in a concert given Thursday in Hoch auditorium.
It was easy for the audience of about 150 persons to understand why the orchestra was chosen by the KU School of Fine Arts to appear on the campus in recognition of superior work done in the orchestal field.
The 94-piece orchestra is directed by R. A. Samuelson, head of the instrumental music department of the Kansas City, Kansas school, and is considered one of the best high school orchestras in the state.
Their music was well-co-ordinated, smooth, melodious, and precise. The encore, "You'll Never Walk Alone," was particularly enjoyed.
Included on the program were March from "Tannhauser" (Wagner); the first movement of "Symphony in B Minor" (Schubert); Overture to "Marriage of Figaro" (Mozart); "Phaon," miniature symphonic poem (Hohnson); trumpet solo of "Scherzo" (Goldman), and "Tribute to Romberg" arranged by Schwartz.
First Aid Course Now Being Taught
Donald W. Henry, assistant professor of physical education is teaching the Red Cross first aid instructor training course at the University.
The course is usually taught by a representative of the Red Cross.
The course is designed only for those who have had standard or advanced first aid training. The first aid course is not sponsored by the University and is therefore open to everyone.
Mr. Henry said that the training period lasts for 15 hours and is taught every spring. It is now being taught every Thursday night.
Students need textbooks, the rest of the equipment is furnished by the Red Cross.
A water safety course will be offered later this spring by Walter J. Mikols, assistant professor of physical education.
The course is good for students planning to do counseling in summer camps and prospective physical education teachers, Mr. Henry said.
Students are cordially invited to participate in activities of all Lawrence churches. In addition to the regular order of service, there are many classes and functions planned especially for university groups.
