Changes in the agreement begin the two schools will be not to decide how to 'bury the bettain again' but also to decide just to hold the hatchet in the are. In addition we need an exision of the agreement in connection with basketball games as well the present football agreement," said.
It is high time some definite action was taken. Students in the schools must learn to at least like grown-ups. If present conditions continue, the situation will amount to nothing less than ailla warfare.
There was a period back in the

an Religion Mix With Economics?
Dr. John+Ise, professor of economics told students at a YM-YWigious seminar yesterday that Christianity may have a place in economics, but that it is doubtful how much Christianity most Ameri-ces want.
Dr. Ise reviewed the history of cristianity through the Dark Ages, formation, and up to the present day. He expressed doubt that cristianity has always been a host of real economic progress. Assailing business methods as the use of many evils of the present v., he said that we need more cristianity and less economic proclivity.

Student Organization Records Lost Due To Carelessness, Poor Filing
WEATHER
Many records of student organizations are being lost because of carelessness and a lack of proper filing facilities, Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, declared today.
Kansas—Pertly cloudy today, to-
night and Wednesday. Warmer to-
day. Colder northern third tonight.
Low tonight 25 northwest to 30
northcast and 40 southeast. Warmer
west Wednesday.
Dean Werner said that many records and minutes, invaluable from a historical view, as well as in serving as precedents of policy and action, are lost from 1942 on back.
As examples of carelessness in connection with such records Dean Werner mentioned the following cases:
Sachem, senior men's honorary organization, recently compiled a list of alumni. Now every copy of that list, which required a great deal of work, has been lost, with the exception of one copy now on file in Dean Werner's office.
The Men's Student council, fere runner to the All Student council, was for several years without any constitution, until the missing records finally turned up in the base-ment of an abandoned fraternity house.
"Every student organization should be compelled, by its own legislation, to make two copies of all actions and minutes. A sealed copy, properly labeled, should then be filed in some officially designated spot, in charge of a librarian. Such provisions would save many valuable records for students in future years," Dean Werner said.
The Inter-Fraternity council has one copy of its constitution left, on file in the council room. However, the key to the file has been lost.
"Either students do not know how to carry on business of their organizations, or they are just careless in cling records and minutes. Much trouble occurs when a new organization replaces an old. Records which should be transferred, are often lost at such times." Dean Werner said.

'Dream' Opens In Fraser Tonight
Last minute publicity stunts for "Midsummer Night's Dream" got under way Monday afternoon with a "lion" wandering around the campus and colored balloons floatig from the lamp posts of Green hall.
Students in the Union fountain reported that a shaggy maned animal resembling the king of beasts cane into the room shortly after noon. Apparently he found no acquaintances because after a brief lock around he beat a hasty retreat and was seen no more.
The play opens tonight for a three performance run in Fraser Theater. The production of Shakespeare's fantasy boasts the largest cast and technical staff ever to participate in a University play. A total of 60 students will have a hand in some phase of the show. Only 29 of this total will ever be seen by an audience.
Reservations may still be made at the ticket office in the basement of Green hall from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m.
So far as Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, could determine, this is the first time Shakespeare's "Dream" has been produced in Lawrence since 1892. At that time it appeared at the old Bowersock theater in Lawrence with a 4-year-old child playing the part of Puck.
The old production employed 40 children ranging from 6 to 10 years old as fairies. Professor Crafton's show will try to get along with only seven.
The set for this all-school production was designed and constructed under the supervision of Professor Crafton and Donald Dixon, assistant professor of speech. Using only one main set the scenes are changed by adding or removing additional props and screens. Need for stage hands is eliminated by making the Elves do all of this moving.
The play which runs for approximately 105 minutes will continue from the 8:15 curtain to the end without intermission, Professor_Crafton said.
Miss Adams Knows Questions That Students Want To Know
Sorry, students, but bribery will get you nowhere with Miss Margaret Adams—the woman who knows all the questions that students would like to know.
Miss Adams is the redhaired, reticent manager of the K.U. Stenographic bureau, which is that part of the Journalism building where the professors
bureau, which is that part of the bureau, which is that part of the Journalism building where the professors bring their final examination questions to have them reproduced for class distribution.
Miss Adams and her staff print everything from Greek examination questions to dinner invitations. But, unfortunately for students, there are no exam papers to be seen in her office.
"Well, Miss Adams," students ask, grinning and pretending that they are just making conversation, "where do you keep all of these printed tests?"
"Just guess," she says. "Oh, don't bother looking around. The instant
those questions are run off one of the duplicating machines, we whisk them away."
"Oh," they murmur, "some Inner Sanctum, no doubt?"
Miss Adams merely nods cheerfully.
And so, for all the information the cagey redhead will divulge those coveted examination papers might as well be in the Ft. Knox gold vaults.
Oh, well, you can't blame them for trying.
Gas Is On Again At University Power Plant
The University began using gas again this morning according to W. C. Sanderson, maintenance engineer of the power plant.
Gas supply to the University was resumed today after workmen repaired two by-passes past the explosion by working continuously since the explosion.
"Things didn't look too good yesterday," Mr. Sanderson said. "We had only enough emergency fuel oil to last three days."
of the power plants The natural gas supply for the University and other industrial users had been cut off since the explosion by working continuously at Blackwell, Oku, Sunday night.
The three day supply of fuel was stored in tanks with a total capacity of 30,000 gallons. Attempts to replenish the oil supply immediately had failed.
A shipment of oil is on the way from the west coast, but local power plant officials are uncertain as to the time of its arrival. The fuel will be used as a reserve in case of a future emergency.
Women students attending the conference will be excused from classes if they attend the meetings, Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women said today.
"We would not have been affected by the explosion if more storage space for oil were available," C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds, said today.
