Francis Bull, professor of Scandinavian literature at the University of Oslo, Norway, spoke Nov. 17 on Herrick Isbn's play, "Peer Gynt."
Professor Bull, a noted authority on Ibsen, was imprisoned in the Grini concentration camp from 1941 to 1344 for opposing Nazi attacks on the Norwegian theme. Quisling government gave the often lectured his fellow prisoners in Grini, and it was there he wrote a book on "Peer Gynt" and its author.
"Peer Gynt' is the central work in all Norwegian literature." Prof. Bull said. "It is to Norway what Goethe's 'Faust' is to Germany or Cervantes' Don Quixote' is to Spain. It represents the lyric imagination of Norway."
born out of Peer Gynt's inner conflict between genius and laziness He quoted Ibsen: "‘Peer Gynt' is filled with much of the rubbish of my own soul."
"In spite of all Peer Gynt's faults, you can't help liking him." Prof. Bull said. "He has such imagination he should have been a poet."
Describing the biographical background for "Peer Gynt," Prof. Bull said Ibsen felt a contrast within himself that led him to write the play.

"In 'Peer Gynt' alone, Ibsen is capricious," Prof. Bull said. "His lyric poetry is great because of its intellectual feeling and depth. 'Peer Gynt' is not only Norwegian, it is very human.

Works Of America's Best Illustrators On Display
An exhibition representing the works of over 100 of America's best known illustrators of children's books will be on display in the Museum of Art through Thursday. Nov. 30.
The museum's exhibit of children's book illustrations abounds with pictures of the simple things you believed in when you were young. You can look at the pictures of horses, dragons, cats, dogs, circuses, and Christmas dinners and perhaps leave a little better prepared to face recent political theory or comparative anatomy.
The exhibit, including about 120 illustrations is colorfully presented in a carnival theme. Several Caldecott award illustrations are on display. The Caldecott award is given annually for the best American illustrated children's book.
The most widely known work on display is Norman Rockwell's illustration of the dead cat scene from "Tom Sawyer."
Dr. John Maxon, director of the museum, said "the exhibit illustrates the technical problems involved in producing illustrated books and that the designs themselves are not finished works of art but rely on th printed material for their interpre tion"
The pollination of clover by wild bees will be discussed by Jimmy Reeves White, graduate student, at the next meeting of the Linnaean Club, Tuesday, Nov. 21, 8 p.m. in 417 Snow Hall.
Bees To Be Topic For Linnaean Club
This subject should be of interest not only to students of entomology and botany, but also to the future farmers of this area.
The exhibit also shows the scope of contemporary book illustration, for the greater part of American book illustration is done for children.
The public is invited and refreshments will be served.
The feed is an honors dinner held every year for W.A.A. members and any women who have played on intramural or class hockey or volleyball teams.

Lab Theater Will Present Two More Plays
"Overruled" by George Bernard Shaw, and "The Intruder" by Maurice Maeterlinck will be the next Laboratory theater plays, in the Little theater of Green hall Tuesday, Nov. 28, through Friday, Dec. 1.
Shaw's play will be performed by students in the graduate seminar and theater under the direction of Allen Crafton, professor of drama.
The play, which was selected for class work before Shaw died, is being done as the drama department decided it would be of general interest to produce the play in Laboratory theater. Thomas Shay, theater director, said.
"The Intruders" is a philosophical play about death. The mood and atmosphere is unusual, as the play is made up of symbols. For instance, a blind man in any of Maeterlnick's plays is a symbol of human spiritual blindness.
"Because we feel this play depends upon mood, rather than action, it will be given as a staged reading." Shav said.
Co-directors of "Intruders" will be Mary Lou Lane, education senior; and Wilson O'Connell, College senior.
Included among the speakers will be governor-elect Edward F. Arn; Sen, Harry Darby; Dolph Simons, K. U. alumni president, and Arthur C. "Dutch" Lonborg, athletic director, expo at Chancellor Dewey W. Maloft and Marvin Small, assistant alumni association secretary.
"We have a fine program and evening's entertainment planned," said Roy Edwards, Kansas City alumni president, "and all K. U. students are welcome to attend and take part in the rally."
The K.U. alumni association of greater Kansas City will hold its annual pep-gathering preceding the Missouri game in the roof gardens of the Continental hotel at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 21.
Alumni Group Plans Pep Rally
Coach J. V. Sikes and his coaching staff will attend the rally. Coach Sikes will discuss the K.U.-M.U. tilt.

From 9 to 9:30 p.m., Kansas City radio stations, WHB (Larry Ray); KCMO. (Tony Williams); KMBC (Sam Molen), and WDAF (Jay Barrington) will broadcast from the rally. They will interview persons about the outcome of the game, and talk with the coaches.

450 High School Students See Foreign Students Create Model UN
Bv RICHARD HUNTER
Kansas was the world, and Fraser theater was Lake Success for four hours Saturday morning. A model General Assembly of the United Nations was held from 8 to 12 a.m. to give high school students an idea of the U.N.'s procedure.
The participation of foreign students as delegates enliven the atmosphere for more than 450 high school students in attendance.
The students were welcomed to the meeting by Dr. Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, who said, "By your very presence here you have proven that you are aware of the importance of the United Nations, and against intolerance of every kind. I congratulate you for realizing that there are other people outside your own lives."
He said that meetings of this kind are important because "Knowledge

It was accepted by the mock assembly after discussion by delegates representing Iran, Czechoslovakia, the U.S., Turkey, France, and Sweden. In both proposals and discussions, the viewpoints of each representative were, for the most part, in compliance with the views expressed by their respective governments at the U.N.
During the question period that
followed the mock assembly meeting, the high school students asked the foreign students about conditions in their home countries, and their viewpoints on America.
The participants in the program impressed upon the students that the success of the U.N. depends upon the men, women and children of the world, as well as their delegated representatives.
In the afternoon, after a speech by J. Eldon Fields, associate professor of political science, on "The Problems of the United Nations in the World Crisis," a social hour with a coke and mixer session for the high school and foreign students was held in the Student Union ballroom.
The program was sponsored jointly by University Extension and the International club.
