College Daze Date Changed
The presentation of "College Daze," all-student musical, has been postponed two weeks Margaret Granger, producer, has announced. The musical will begin Tuesday, April 19 instead of Tuesday, April 5 and be shown four days.
"When the production was originally scheduled, it was not known that the date was in conflict with the Margaret Webster company's presentation of "Macbeth," Miss Granger stated.
The student musical based on the script "Ghost of a Chance," written by William Conboy, College senior, is the second annual "College Daze" production.
"The musical is prepared and presented by students of the University." Miss Granger pointed out. "The producers, directors, writers, lyrics-writers, and cast members are all students."
'Great Catherine Begins March 28
G. B. Shaw's "Great Catherine" will be presented by the Kansas Players for four nights beginning Monday, March 28, in Fraser theater.
The Kansas Players, a dramatic group which originated in 1925, are speech faculty members and students. The class includes "Juno and the Paycook" in 1946.
"Overruled," Shaw's one-act play, will be presented as a curtain raiser since "Great Catherine" is not a full-length play. "Overruled" is a comedy about married people falling in love with other people's wives and husbands.
"Great Catherine,' one of Shaw's most lively and amusing fares, is built around one of the Empress of Russia's notorious love affairs," said Allen Crafton, professor of speech. "In the play a stolid unimaginative young Englishman gains her favor and gets out of his rather dangerous scrape in a fashion which gave offense to Shaw's fellow countrymen when the play was first produced in England."
Professor Crafton; Don Dixon, assistant professor of speech; Frances Feist, Jessica Crafton, Harold Harvey, instructors in speech; and Tom P. Rea, College senior, will appear in the plays.
Good Turn Takes Bad Turn
San Francisco — (U.P.) — A house painter died after trying to do a friend a good turn. Harry Johnson was shaving when his next door neighbor came to the door and told him he was locked out of his room. Mr. Johnson told him to sit tight and he'd open it for him. He crawled out on a ledge between the two apartments, slipped, and fell four stories to his death.

"I think I speak for most men," he said.
He is an expert, although his skin is not so alluring in short hair. If they must wear it like a man's, they should do so only in the daytime—and wear wigs at night."
Hollywood—U (E). The nation's birth rate declined during 1948, and hairdresser Sydney Gullaroff blames that on short hair.
It's even more serious than that, Mr. Guilarcoff warned. Styles influence personality. The women of the world have coiffed and coiffed and coiffed and genteel manners.
Ladies! Unless You Grow Some Hair The Human Race May Up And Vanish!
"In short hair," he cautioned,
"women may lose their femininity."
But buck up, gentlemen. The movie queens are hanging onto their flowing locks. If you fellows just sigh deeply at the right places in the movies, the ladies will swear off the shears.
"The new hair styles, I fear," he said, "are seriously endangering women's nature."

In her current picture, Miss Gardner's mahogany tresses literally cascade over her shoulders. The long voluminous dresses of that period, as well as today, looked best on women with a true "crowning glory."

"Specifically," says Mr. Gulairoff, "a lauscious eyeful named Ava Gardner will cause women to let their hair down for keeps."
"When the ladies hear their escorts sigh," Mr. Guilaroff said, "they will see that they are the great sinners for wearing their hair so short."

Police Would Be Happier If Stations Were Yellow
Boston—(U.P.)-Painting police stations a glowing yellow from doorstep to rooftop would make bluecoats happier and their prisioners more co-operative, says New York color consultant Faber Birren.
Mr. Birren, who believes color has a definite effect on the emotions, had another suggestion at a regional conference of the National Council for Community Improvement here.
"Writers should get their ideas in red-decorated rooms and retire to blue-green rooms to write," he said.

Chicpoe, Mass.—(U.P.)—John Simon-ich boasts that his garage employs one of the prettiest mechanics that ever slipped under an automobile's chassis.
Garage Man Boasts Prettiest Mechanic
She is Miss Lotte Pruenal, slender, brown-evered and 23.
Simonich chuckles as he recalls how Lottie became an automobile mechanic.
She dropped into his garage one day and told him the front end of her car needed repairs. Simonich was busy.
"I'll loan you the tools and you can fix it yourself," she told her.
"I like to, but I don't have the time," she said.
"How about working for me and learn to fix your own car?" he suggested.
"Are you kidding?" Lottie asked.
"Bring along a pair of overalls and
you can start tomorrow," he replied.
She did. Now Miss Prucnal is a first-class mechanic with a burning ambition—to own her own garage.
