'College Daze' Is A Hit In Spite Of Grade Points
Cheers and applause of approval filled Hoch auditorium Wednesday evening as "College Daze," all student musical revue was presented before approximately 1,000 persons. Jack Moorhead, author of the revue, was unable to be in the show because of a "below sea level grade average." Several jokes were aimed at the idea of keeping him out the show.
The songs were terrific, skits were hilarious, dances were spectacular, and music was excellent but not too distinct at times because of the acoustics.
Charles T. Freshwater as "Joe College" stayed in character very well, and kept the audience in an uproar before he was on stage.
Norma Jean Guthrie and Dargan Montgomery sang "When You're Near," a ballad. Montgomery was a little stiff in his actions, but his delivery was not affected. Delores Travalent, ballerina, danced gracefully during the number.
The classroom skit was hilarious. James W. Hawes, as George Gargogle, sparked the act with his antics and pretended reading of an oversized pamphlet, the "Kinsey Report, Illustrated."
The South American dance was outstanding with Betty Joe Lorbeer drawing "Oohs" and "Ahs" from the audience as she performed in a distinct latin manner. Craig Hampton was her partner. Mario R. Rivera, from Costa Rica, and Bolivar Marquez, from Panama, played Latin drums during the number.
Ann Hogue, a fine arts sophomore, and Dean W. Frazier, College junior, who sang "Come Along Baby," had a little trouble getting started, but the number moved with ease. Both vocalists performed commendably and won the approval of the crowd Sue Jones and Phillip M. Young astounded the audience with their flips in a jitterbug dance between choruses of the song.
The best skit of the show was the scene depicting college students home on vacation. Gwendolyn Jones played New Look Newberry; James Hawes was her brother, Chalmer; and Judson Greer played his friend, Adelbert Lustless.
"I've Got That Old Look From Seeing That New Look," comedy song and skit, was done by Bill P. Ogg, skit director, and Freshwater. They were dressed as French Foreign Legionaires and complained about the "new look." Words to the song were not clear and the meaning of the act failed to reach the audience.
As the curtain fell, shouts from the audience called for Moorhead. He was dragged on stage and greeted by a great ovation.

Wichita, May 13 — (UP) — Dr. Franklin Murphy, dean-elect of the University Medical school, said today he planned to ask the next state legislature for an additional $2,-500,000 to expand the school.
Med School Too Small'
Dean Murphy addressed a Lions club meeting here Wednesday night on "Education and Training in Free Society."
He said the University Medical school would admit only 80 students this year because of "cramped facilities."

The cast will give another performance if the demand is great enough. Students and faculty members should make their desires known at the Student Activities office if they want another performance of the revue.
Thousands Idle As Strikes Plague Nation
By UNITED PRESS
The C.I.O. meat packing strike has kept close to 100,000 workers idle for almost two months. Another 73,-000 workers were added to the strike total Wednesday when the C.I.O. United Automobile Workers struck in 16 Chrysler plants in three states.
Labor disputes idled more than 225,000 workers today as organized labor pressed demands for third- round wage increases.
A United Press survey showed that at least 75,000 more workers were on strike in other industries across the nation. Thousands more were idle as the indirect result of labor disputes.
The total included construction workers, painters, movie studio workers, steel workers, electrical workers, bakery truck drivers, Seattle aircraft mechanics, Milwaukee brewery workers, and newspaper printers in Chicago, Philadelphia and elsewhere.
In the meatpacking strike, fighting broke out at South St. Paul, Minn., for the second day in a row. Three men reported that they were beaten by strikers near the Swift and company plant.
Pickets ignored an injunction limiting their numbers to 10 at plant gates. They formed solid lines and kept office workers, mostly women, from entering.
John Moran, president of the American Union of Telephone Workers, said the union may decide today whether to call its 25,000 long lines members out on strike.
The C.I.O. Farm Equipment Workers abandoned its five-week strike against the Caterpillar Tractor company at East Peoria, III., in the face of a bargaining election that showed that the strength of the union was shattered.
ROTC Will Be Inspected
The annual inspection of the University's R.O.T.C. unit will be held today and tomorrow at the Military Science building. The inspection is being done by a team of officers from the Fifth army headquarters in Chicago and the Second air force headquarters in Omaha.
The team is one of 14 inspecting units all over the country. It consists of Col. Tyler Calhoun, Jr., field artillery; Lt. Col. Warwick L. Dell, engineers; Maj. Ardin R. Jewett, air forces, and Capt. Robert B. Stiles, quartermaster corps.
Colonel Calhoun, spokesman for the team said that they had a "very favorable impression of the University's unit," and that the University had provided its unit with "some of the best training facilities in the country."
The team is inspecting units all over the Middle West. The University of Kansas is the eight place to be visited by them. They came from the University of Missouri and will go to Kansas State.
"As a result of last year's inspection," said Col. John Alfrey, professor of military science, "we were permitted to wear the blue star of excellence on the left sleeve of our uniform. This inspection will determine if we can continue to do so."

This Brew Blew Its Top As Well As Pans, Glass, And Eight Week's Work
Bailey chemical laboratories had a hangover this morning. It all started when Paul W. Gilles, assistant professor of chemistry, told two engineering students to obtain information about alcohol and acetic acid (as in vinegar).
The two students worked four weeks preparing for the experiment. Tuesday morning they put four 6- $ \textcircled{4} $ inch tubes, filled with ethyl acetate John B. Hedge and J. into a pan of paraffin.
All this they put on a hot plate and turned on the heat.
The experiment brewed until about 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Then it blew up for one of Bailey's major explosions of the year.
Dr. Gilles told engineering juniors
John B. Hedger and John D. How-
land that 'the only thing to do is—
to do it all over.' .
Total damage, estimated at about $10, included one tin pan completely demolished, three glass panes of the hood, shattered; one hot plate with fantastically bent legs, wax spatterings over the vapor hood.
