60 Audition For College Daze Scheduled First Week In May
In a room hazy with cigaret smoke 60 nervous students performed, practiced, and watched during the Tuesday night tryouts for College Daze, the only all-student show of the school year.
The production to be Tuesday May 2 through Friday, May 5 is sponsored by the Student Union activities. Craig Hampton, fine arts senior, and president of the activities, wrote the script and lyrics for the show.
Both nervous and confident performers did their acts—torch songs, semi-classical numbers, novelty routines—for Hampton and the auditioning committee authorized to choose 21 men and 10 women for the parts. Winners will be announced later this week.
Assisting Hampton in the selection of the cast for the 1950 College Daze were: Gene Hall, fine arts sophomore, music director; Robert Cooper, College senior, and Willard Straight, fine arts junior, score composers; Mary Witcher, College senior, production secretary; Marjorie Crane, College junior, cast secretary; and Patricia Brown, College sophomore, script secretary. Paul DeCora, instructor in music theory, will serve as faculty adviser in selecting the cast.

Oliver Hall Men Save $3,300'Just Living' There
A 15 per cent return on an investment within five months normally belongs in the dubious "get rich quick" category.
Yet that is the "profit" shown by Oliver Hall, a men's scholarship residence, explained Dr. L. C. Woodruff, dean of men. He figured this way:
Play Tryouts To Be Held Today
All students are invited to try out for the parts.
Tryouts for "She Stoops to Conquer" by Oliver Goldsmith, will be held at 7 p.m. today in the Little theater in Green hall.
The play will be presented by the University Players in several towns in the state from Monday, April 10 to Sunday. April 23. It has a cast of 10 male and 3 female characters. Mrs. Frances Feist, instructor in speech and drama, is directing the production.
- The frame house on Louisiana street was purchased last summer for $15,000 Approximately $5,000 there was spent remodeling it for a men's scholarship hall. The 22 men living there were able by their cooperative living arrangements to obtain board and room for about $150 less than comparable facilities can be purchased elsewhere.
Thus the men holding scholarships saved $3,300 during the fall semester alone. That is a 16½ per cent return on the total investment. A similar saving is being made during the spring semester.
Of course no one can put a finger on the money, nor can the real profit be so definitely stated. The 22 men either could not have attended K. U., or would have done so only with great difficulty, except for the scholarships.
