Monologues, Play, Well Received By First Night Audience
Bv RICHARD HUNTER
The largest first night audience to attend a Laboratory theater presentation saw three well-delivered monologues, and an excellent play in the Little theater of Green hall Tuesday evening.
Donald Zurbuchen, education senior,
gave the Jester's speech to the Duke's court from Shakespeare's
"As You Like It."
Possibly the hardest monologue to deliver, an excerpt from "The Last Mile," was given by Richard Settle, College sophomore. Settle portrayed an Italian fruit peddler, who is telling reporters how he accidentally killed the girl he was eloping with.
A humorous delivery of the monologue "Remorse by the Sea," was given by Edith Williamson, education senior. "Remorse" takes place on a bathing beach, where a woman is bering herself for drinking too much the night before.
The play, "Trifles," by Susan Glaspell, is the story of a lonesome farm woman who murders her husband
because he killed her pet canary. She never appears on the stage but her pitiful character is effectively described by the sheriff's wife, Maxine Le Row, College junior; and a neighbor, Mary Beth Moore, College sophomore.
They find the motive, the strangled canary, and hide it from their husbands. Dan Palmquist, speech actor, an amateur job as a typical small town sheriff.
Thomas Shay, speech instructor; kept the audience laughing as the slow thinking neighbor who doesn't want his name "connected with no murder." The county attorney is played by Edgar Hurst, education senior.
The program will be given again onight and Friday.

Student Flees Red China To Study At University
Bv FORREST MILLER
Had the Communists not overrun China, Thomas Ying, now a resident of Battenfeld hall, would probably still be attending Kwang Hua university in Shanghai.
World In Crisis Lecture Notes Easy To Obtain
Students enrolled in World in Crisis have three opportunities to get lecture notes, but apparently that isn't enough for some of them.
Students who either don't know about the broadcasts or want to be sure they got all the lecture notes have been hounding KFKU for scripts of the lectures. Miss Mildred Seaman. KFKU program director, said as far as she knows no lecture scripts are available any place, and certainly not at the radio station.
The student may get his notes in the lecture period on Tuesday evenings. If he misses part of the lecture, he may fill-in his notes by listening to a recording on station WIBW at 9 p.m. Wednesdays, or listen to another broadcast of the lecture on station KFKU at 7 p.m. Thursdays.
Student-Faculty Meeting Today
Eight department chairmen will represent the faculty at the second student-faculty coffee from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the dean of women's office.
Faculty members invited to attend the coffee sponsored by Associated Women students are: L. E. Anderson, professor of organ and theory; Carroll D. Clark, professor of sociology; J. O. Maloney, professor of chemical engineering; Kenneth E. Rose, associate professor of mining engineering; Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra; Donald G. Wilson, professor of electrical engineering; Miss Ruth Kenney, director of correspondence study bureau; and Donald Powell, instructor and director of men's intramurals.
Virginia Thomson, chairman of the coffees committee, said these eight were each asked to bring another member of their department.
Wall Safe Is Good Buy
Worcester, Mass.—(U.P.) A f t e r buying an old wall safe for $5 at an auction. Leon Langlois had a locksmith open it. The safe contained $500 in coins.
Ying, who is known as Tommy in China as well as in America, was delayed two months by passport difficulties in Formosa. He arrived in San Francisco Nov. 4 and at the University of Kansas Nov. 11.
Ying lived in Shanghai for 15 years and completed his freshman year at Kwang Hua university before the Communists took over.
"I would never go to school under the Communists, because you have no freedom." Ying said.
Kwang Hua had an enrollment of 2,000 in 1948 but when the school let out last May, only 658 were enrolled. "The Communists don't directly force you to join the army, but when there are no jobs and you have no means of support, there is nothing else to do." said Ying.
Ying said the main difference between the University of Kansas and Kwang Hua is the number of hours a student must take. "Here every student takes 15-18 hours a semester. At Kwang Hua a freshman is required to take 24 hours a semester, a sophomore 21, a junior 18, and a senior 9, making a total of 144 necessary to graduate."
He began to learn the English language when in the fourth grade. Later in high school he took eight courses in one semester and seven of them were taught in English.
When asked to compare Battenfeld with his dormitory at Kwang Hua, Ying replied, "At Kwang Hua our dormitory consisted of a desk, and chair. A living room such as we have here was unheard of. Also we have much more privacy here."
Ying plans to audit classes the remainder of this semester and enroll in a business course in January. He has 48 hours of credit from Kwang Hua, but doubts that all of them will transfer since he took several Chinese history and language courses.
Applications Due Friday
Applications for the L.S.A. fall scholarship must be turned in to the dean of women's office, 220 Strong hall, before Friday.
C. Richard Krimminger, I.S.A.

Application blanks may be obtained in the dean of women's office or at the I.S.A. office, third floor, Union building.
Selected applicants will be interviewed during the week of Nov. 27. The final selection will be made by the I.S.A. scholarship committee and the University committee on grants and aids.
