One man's version of college life is the basis of "Yucca, Yucca," all-student revue to be presented in Hoch auditorium, Friday night. Proceeds will go to the K.U. World War II Memorial Fund.
The program will begin at 9 p.m. with a warmup for the radio portion of the show, which will be broadcast over KFKU from 9:30 to 10 p.m.
A musical show, featuring "The Serenaders" and specialties interspersed through the continuity, "Yucca, Yucca" is a satirical treatment of life at college, a local 'Bare-foot Boy with Cheek,' according to Terry Herriott, master of ceremonies.
This part of "Yucca, Yucca" will consist primarily of specialty numbers. A brief intermission will follow the broadcast and the show will swing into an extensive takeoff on the intricacies of higher learning.
Act one portrays the "Coke Date," with the proceedings taking place inside a juke box.
The second act is set in a history class. "Any resemblance between this and history classes at the University," Herriott said, "will be purely coincidental. This is on the assumption that none of the Hill's history professors have adopted rhythmic verse as will be found in this act."
The grand finale concludes two hours of satire, songs, dancing, and music of "The Serenaders."
Among the student performers are Norma Kennedy, William Richardson, Mary Jane Zollinger, Georgia Lee Westmoreland, Harriet Harlow, Pertrand Morris, Carl Clark, Bevety Frizell, Martha Lou Little, Martyn Maloney, Robert Glover, Frank Harlow, James Sellars, Dean Paterson, James Barr, Todd Seymour, Raderick Mac刘涵, Hunter Billings, Charles Banfield, Mary Lou Mathows, Dessie Hunter, Loraine Mai, Vilet Orloff, and Harry McClure.
A leading light among the script writers for "Yucca, Yucca," is Shilay Corlett, College sophomore from Kansas City, Mo. Miss Corlett's dramatic ambitions take her East this summer where she will work with the Syracuse Players.
Other script writers are Bunny Lawyer, College junior, Carl Clark, College sophomore, and Herriott, College sophomore.

Construction Starts on Housing Under Stadium
Construction began this week on the housing units to be built under the east side of the stadium, Irvin Youngberg, of the University housing office, announced today. The project, which will house 64 single men, consists of three units:
Two of the units, to house 32 men each, will be divided into two sections, each consisting of dormitory, dressing room, study room, and a small club room. A large recreation room is to be constructed for each of the two main units.
The third unit will be built on the southeast corner of the stadium, the site of present club room. It is to be an apartment to house the superviser, probably a married couple, for the two units.
The present archways in this section of the stadium will be filled in, except for space needed for windows. Each unit will have a door outside the stadium so that passage between the units may be gained without going outside.
The interior of the units will be painted concrete blocks with a regular plastered ceiling. No information on furnishings is yet available.
"The units are so planned that the track inside the stadium may still be used. The construction of the units makes it possible for a second story to be added later if necessary," William Richardson, of the architectural office, said today.
An estimated 120 days after the materials arrive will be necessary for completion of the project. Materials are on order now.

'Ki-Yippe-Yi Is All You Need To Sing Opera,' He Says
Melton Liked Hoch, Audience, Jayhawker Womer
(Daily Kansan Staff Writers)
By MARIAN THOMSON and SHIRLEY GUENTHER
"All you need to know to be a successful opera star is two cowboy songs," James Melton, leading Metropolitan tenor, told Daily Kansan reporters last night — and proved it. Two of his 10 encores were western songs.
Mr. Melton, accompanied by Carroll Hollister, sang Tuesday night in Hoch auditorium, as part of the Music week program sponsored by the School of Fine Arts.
"I liked your audience, and I liked your auditorium," Mr. Melton declared afterward.
The audience liked him, too, calling him back for encores among which were "Serenade" (Schubert).
WHY WE SAY
by STAN J COLLINS & L J SLAWSON
"An Explanation" (Colenidge-Taylor); "Waterboy." "Bess, Where is My Bess" (Gershwin); "The Old Chisholm Trail," "Soloilouqy," from "Carousel" (Rogers and Hammerstein); and "I Will Bring You Music," his theme song.
Backstage, he autographed programs and photographs, visited with a friend of his family, and talked about everything from his collection of antique automobiles ("all in running condition"), to the beauty of the K.U. campus and K.U. women.
Asked what he thought about Billy Rose's recent statement that no beautiful women go to college, he declared, "He's nuts, and you can quote me on that. Anybody who'd make a remark like that is a jerk, and you can quote me again."
Next week, he said, he is going home for a four-month vacation with his wife and five-month-old daughter. Margo, having appeared in 55 radio broadcasts, 55 concerts, and 15 operas since Oct. 1.
Mr. Melton, who has appeared in several motion pictures, including "The Ziegfeld Follies," which was shown in Lawrence last week, likes "concert work better than anything."
"You can't control your destiny in pictures," he explained, "and I like to control my destiny."
A beginning law student at the University of Florida, Mr. Melton changed his major to languages in his freshman year and now speaks five, fluently. Attending Georgia university in 1922-23, he became a member of Delta Tau Delta, and completed his college education at Vanderbilt university in 1924.
He has toured the concert stage since 1930, and made his Metropolitan opera debut in 1942.
