English Comedy Provides Top Entertainment
Bv BOB NOLD
Drollery and skepticism were well mixed Wednesday night to provide top entertainment at the season's third major play, the English comedy, "The Lady's Not For Burning" Bob Allen, KLWN announcer, handled the difficult role of Thomas Mendin with understanding.
Mendip has an exaggerated view of man's cynicism toward the world. Until he meets Jennet, a woman condemned to be burned for witchcraft, he is positive that no good exists in the world. She refutes this belief.
The surface plot appears to be a contrast between Jennet's desire to live and Mendip's desire to die. But the witty, satirical wording of the play turned Mendip's plea for death into a mockery of unacquaintance with the world.
A humorous mood prevailed throughout the play. James Clausesen, college junior, as Nicholas Devize, and Allen Crafton, as Matthew Skipps, topped the list of mirth-makers.
George Herman, instructor in English, as Mayor Hebbie Tyson, had a combination serious, comical part. He will probably be remembered longest as the man who insisted that "this will all be taken care of at the proper time."
Mary Lou Jukes, graduate student, was an enchanting witch. She effectively put across her desire to live.
Another crowd pleaser was Sam Sebesta, education junior, who played a simple, drowsy chaplain.
Jay Janes Pledge Nine Candidates
The play will continue through Saturday, March 1.
Nine women have been pledged to Jay Janes, woman's pep organization.
They are Elinor Loffelmann, special student; Georgette Figueredo, special graduate student; Luella Schmalzried, college sophomore; Esther Brown, pharmacy sophomore; Nan Mosby, fine arts sophomore; Kay Lambert, college sophomore; Kay Lambert, college sophomore; Margaret Black, college sophomore; and MaryAnn Mahoney, education sophomore.
Helen Maduros, Jay James' president, announced that an initiation banquet will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 5, at the Eldridge hotel. The initiation service will follow the banquet.
Students To Give Blood Donations To Red Cross; Scheduled For May
A three-day campus drive for blood donations when the Red Cross bloodmobile visits Lawrence in May was approved by an All Student Council committee Wednesday.
The drive is set for May 14, 15, and 16.
Heywood Davis, committee chairman, met with Miss Lorraine Jacquemin, representative of the Defense Blood center in Kansas City, and Mrs. Stanley Hipp, executive secretary of the Douglas county Red Cross chapter Tuesday. His committee informed the Red Cross that the students will request the bloodmobile to visit KU.
"It is our aim to engage many earnest and willing student volunteers to see that a successful drive is carried on," Davis added.
"Our committee enthusiastically welcomes the opportunity to work in co-operation with the Douglas county Red Cross chapter in conducting this drive," he said.
The blood drive was proposed by a group of students, who, having seen the response given
The requirement that persons under 21 years furnish written parental consent does not mean that donating blood is a hazardous process. It is only a formality in accordance with state law, Loy Kirkpatrick, a member of the committee, explained.
similar campaigns on other campuses, felt that a drive should be held at KU.
The drive, scheduled for only three days, will be on a more limited scale than such drives at other colleges and universities. The bloodmobile will be available in Lawrence for that time only, and 150 donations is the maximum that can be processed each day.
The committee hopes there will be less of the usual promotion "stunts," and more personal contacts in organized houses by representatives who will be sincerely and enthusiastically behind the drive, Kirkpatrick said.
The Interdenominational Youth council is cooperating in the World Day of Prayer services. Miss Lois Edwards, Lawrence, will lead the response reading during the service Friday evening.

Sister Of KU Student Wins International Pancake Contest
Residents of Stephenson have been eating at Jollipe and Battenfeld halls since the beginning of the school year. The dormitory was opened for occupancy Feb. 14.
By DOT TAYLOR
The winner of the Liberal-Olney, England pancake race is the sister of Max Zimmerman, college sophomore.
“Joan’s the first track star we’ve had in our family. I think she could probably qualify for the Olympics but isn’t her main hobby.” Max said.
The annual Shrove Tuesday race in England from Olney's Bull inn to the door of the church of the Saints Peter and Paul started in 1445. In 1850 the Liberal women challenged the Olney pancake runners.
Joan won over 23 competitors. She covered the 415-yard course in one minute and eight seconds. Rules require the apron-clad contestants to flip a pancake into a skillet twice,
"We ate a lot of pancakes while Joan practiced flipping." Max said.
Joan received a bouquet of roses, a prayer book and a手kerchiefchef Niney and $350 in gift certificates and a pressure cooker from Liberal.
She has received numerous congratulations from British as well as American fans. Queen Elizabeth sent a telegram and Liberal friends sent her five dozen roses.
