ID Cards Admit To Passion Play
Student identification cards will admit students to the Thursday and Friday matinee performances of the Black Hills Passion play, Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the university, said today. The matinees in Hoch auditorium will begin at 2 p.m.
The cry goes out today for 55 more University students willing to take part in the Black Hills Passion play which will be presented in Hoch auditorium Thursday and Friday.
Any student willing to take part should attend rehearsal at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Hoch and also notify Allen Crafton, professor of speech, as soon as possible.
Rehearsal was held last night under the direction of Clayton Krebiel, instructor in music education, and Michael Entemann, entertainer for the show in the play.
Professor Crafton would like for seventy students to be in the play as the mob and crowds. So far fewer than 20 students have volunteered.
No acting ability is required of the students and there will be no lines to learn. Appropriate costumes will be provided.
The Passion play will be given in four performances in Hoch. Thursday and Friday afternoons and evenings. I-D cards will admit students to the matinees but student admission is 50 cents for the evening performances. Tickets are on sale in the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce office in the WREN building.
In 22 scenes, the play dramatizes the life of Christ from his triumphal entrance into Jerusalem through his crucifixion and ascension. Colorful authentic costuming and mammoth settings enhanced with modern stage effects will be included in the presentations.
The Passion play originated in 1242 in Leuen, Germany. When it comes to the University it will be beginning its 710th year.

Featured in the role of "the Christus" will be the renowned Josef Meier. He is the seventh generation of his family to produce and act in the play. Before coming to this country he was a military officer from Germany, but Hitler's rise forced him to flee to the United States.
In 1938 the Passion play members chose the Black Hills section near Spearfish, S.D., as the permanent home for the production. There the show is produced in a natural outdoor amphitheater on a stage the length of three average city blocks.
Mr. Meier has appeared in this part in more than 9,000 performances throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.
Passion Play Actor To Hold Conference
Josef Meier, the Christus of the Passion play to be given Thursday and Friday, will give a press conference at 5 p.m. Wednesday, in the Big Seven room of the Hotel Eldridge.
Poplar Lane Rule Will Be Enforced
University police will begin enforcing the new west to east flow of traffic on Poplar lane Thursday by issuing tickets to violators, Donald K. Alderson, chairman of the parking committee, said today.
Since last Thursday when the one-way flow of traffic was reversed, patrolmen have only issued "courtesy" warning notices.
Poplar lane is now to be entered only between Snow and Strong halls. The new exit is east and in back of Bailey laboratories.
Parking also is restricted to the left side of the street except for the area between Strong and Bailey, where angle-parking facing southeast is allowed. The parking area is known as Zone H.
Sticky fingered student fag filcher have pocketed so many packages or cigarettes from the food counter in the Hawk's Nest during the past four months that it has become necessary to lock the cigarets back up in machines.
Students Steal Too Many Fags
L. E. Woolley, Union director, said he regretted stopping the sale of cigarets in the Nest but pointed out that the Union could not afford the loss of from 12 to 30 packs daily just for the sake of convenience to the students.
There will be no fine arts convoction this week, as previously announced in the calendar. The convoction was held Jan. 3, in Strong auditorium with the showing of the film, "Dreams Money Can Buy."
Until this week cigarettes had been placed in boxes on the coffee counter and students were allowed to pick up a package and carry it to the check stand for payment. Because too many persons omitted the stop at the check stand all students who want fags with their coffee must now purchase them from the locked vending machine outside the door of the Hawk's nest.

Gift Of $7,500 For Scholarship
A gift of $7,500 to the University Endowment association for a scholarship in engineering was announced today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy. The donor has requested anonymity.
The donor established the fund a year ago with an original gift of $5,000. With the new addition the principal is now $12,651.50.
The scholarship will be for male high school graduates who wish to attend the School of Engineering and Architecture at KU. It will be renewable so the holder may have the award for four years. The bases for the award shall be financial need, character, scholarship and promise of future usefulness to society.
In amending the terms of the gift, the donor specified that Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering and Architecture; Irvin Youngberg, secretary of the KU Endowment association, and he would be the scholarship selection committee.
The annual amount of the scholarship is to be the income from the principal of the fund.
Blood Donors Still Needed
The bloodmobile began operation today in the Military Science building with the commanding officers of the ROTC units first to donate their blood.
By 10:30 more than 30 pints had been donated and 60 men were waiting in line.
Because of a legal technicality students under 21 must have the written permission of both their parents. Many ROTC men failed to bring back this consent from Christmas vacation. Consequently, the schedule for Friday was left unfulled.
About 50 students have volunteered to give blood Friday. This is still 150 short of the needed 200 donors. Twenty men from Beta Theta Pi fraternity have volunteered to donate blood. It is hoped that students from other houses will volunteer.

Goldman has been guest conductor at the University on past occasions.
Ralston will sing three songs from "Oklahoma," a Broadway musical which reached its peak of popularity about 10 years ago. Many of the melodies have since been popularized.
"Students hear the band at football games when conditions are unfavorable or at basketball games when, at least part of the time, they want the band to be quiet." he said. "Too many think they have heard the band at its best, which is not true."
This will be one of the few occasions to hear the band in formal concert this year. Mr. Wiley said.
The melodies sung by Ralston will be "Oh What A Beautiful Morning," "Out of My Dreams," and "People Will Say We're In Love." The songs are by the famous writing combination, Rodgers and Hammerstein.
