Waln To Speak At Convocation Tomorrow
NORA WALN
** * **
"You only dreamed you wrote it." That's what Heinrich Himmler told Nora Waln, tomorrow's Honors convocation speaker, when she told him the manuscript for her book, "Reaching for the Stars," had been stolen from her home in Germany. Miss Walt had spent the years from 1934 to 1938 there with her English husband, George Osland-Hill, while he studied music.
Miss Waln is main speaker at the 23rd annual honors convocation at 10:30 a.m., tomorrow, when the Honor Men of 1945 will be named, along with new selections for Mortar board, Phi Beta Kappa, Sachem, Pi Kappa Lambda, Tau Beta Pi, Pi Lambda Theta, Alpha Omega Alpha, Beta Gamma Sigma, and Sigma Tau.

Law Students' Kidnaping Pictured in New York Paper
Although campus excitement has died down, the engineer-law feud is still going on in newspapers over the country. Yesterday, the New York Sunday News ran a picture of the kidnapped Hobnail Hop queen candidates, captioned, "Outwitted by the Law."
"These 11 candidates," the story said, "for the crown of queen of the engineers' dance at Kansas University in Lawrence missed the party. After the girls got together for this photo, law students engineered a kidnapping stunt and the dancers had to choose an emergency queen.
'Hellzapoppin'in 'Skin of Our Teeth' At Fraser Tonight
"Help me! Help me! Save the human race!" Lily Sabina will cry tonight as the glacier threatens mankind in act one of "Skin of Our Teeth."
The play, by Thornton Wilder,
will be presented by an all-student
cast in Fraser theater at 8:15 p.m.
tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday.
According to Prof. Allen C. Crafton, director, it is one of the most informal plays to be presented since "Beggar on Horseback," six years ago. The scenery, representing the George Antrobus home, is in constant danger of falling down, some of the acting takes place off the stage, and the actors frequently stop to argue among themselves or to discuss some point with the audience.
At the beginning of act three, an announcement is made that some of the players are sick. Stage workers and ushers are brought out to rehearse, and the play is resumed.
In the last scene, at the end of a war, Antrobus picks up one of his books and says, "We've come a long way. We've learned and we're learning." And he begins planning for the ages to come.
One of the actors of the present production has called it "Hellaz-poppin', with a swell idea which makes you want to think."
A.V.C. Founder To Speak On 'Veterans as Citizens'
Gilbert A. Harrison, one of the founders of the American Veterans committee, will speak to the K.U. chapter at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in the men's lounge of the Union. His topic will be "Veterans as Citizens."
Veterans wishing to join A.V.C. can do so at room 202, Frank Strong, any morning or by contacting Richard Kroesing, Lane O, apartment 28, Sunflower.
Success Goes Hand-in-Hand With Being Chosen K.U. 'Honor Man'
Being chosen K.U. honor man is a sure-fire passport to success, judging by the careers of past honor men.
Ralph Waldo May's advancement from baggage clerk to construction supervisor with the army is due partly to his selection as honor man of 1944. Through an error, May was drafted from his civilian position as aeronautical engineer for the wind tunnel at Langley Field, Va., in August, 1944, and was sent overseas as an office clerk.
When his commanding officer, also a K.U. man, Maj. Gen. Ewart G. Plank, a student '18, discovered May's University record and 2.95 grade average in the School of Engineering, he had him transferred, May and a captain are now in charge of about 1,200 civilians and 25 army personnel in the Philippines.
Executives come out of honor man material, as evidenced by the first honor man, Paul Endacott, 1924, who is now vice-president of Phillips Petroleum company; Wallace James, 1925, an official with R.C.A.; and Arthur Cromb, 1930, treasurer of the Standard Steel Works in Kansas City.
These outstanding individuals aren't limited by geographical boundaries but have strayed as far as China and Afghanistan. Paul Moritz, 1839, is an educational leader in China and Robert Fluker, 1942, a teacher in Afghanistan.
The armed services have claimed several. Clair Wood, 1932, has remained a colonel in the regular army air forces, and Balfour S. Jefrey, 1928, a discharged army major in charge of labor personnel, is now an attorney in Topeka.
Their professions have extended over many fields. In 1934, Glenn Cunningham was graduated as honor man. Charles Haines, 1929, is an architect in New York, and Wren Gabel, 1931, is with the Eastman Kodak company. Raymond Nichols University executive secretary, was honor man in 1927.
Borgen Files Petition Against Beer Resolution
-40/-6
BULLETIN
The petition was filed Thursday by Roy G. Borgen, Dine-a-Mite proprietor, but no action has been taken because Hugh Means, judge of the district court, has been ill at home.
May 9 has been set by Judge Hugh Means for a hearing on a petition for a court order to restrain five Douglas County officers from coercing the recent "beer resolution" in the Dine-A-Mite a dine-and-dance place at 23rd and Louisiana streets.
Judge Means was in his office this morning, but expects to be out of the city tomorrow. Shortly before noon, John W. Brand, attorney for Mr. Borgen, told the Daily Kansan that he intended to ask the judge today to consider the petition for the restraining order which, if granted, would be effective until a hearing on the request for an injunction could be held. Mr. Brand explained that Judge Means might hold a hearing before he decides on the request for the restraining order.
The petition filed in district court Thursday by Roy G. Borgen, proprietor, asked for an injunction against county commissioners, Lou Griffith, M. N. Penny, Ed Johnson, County Attorney Robert Oyller, and Sheriff R. H. Skinner from enticing the rule of the board prohibiting dancing during hours when cereal malt beverages are sold.
The rule places him under duress, Mr. Borgen alleged, and has caused him to restrain his customers from pursuing a normal, customary, and acceptable behavior in his place of business, in that the board notified him that it would cancel his license to retail cereal malt beverages unless he stops his customers from dancing during the hours when beer is sold.
The plaintiff stated his belief that the board members are opposed to dancing, and that the rule is directed at dancing by individuals, and not at the proper regulation of the sale of beer.
Borgen said this rule is in effect an interference with the personal liberties of his customers and a violation of the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States in that it abridges the privileges and immunities of citizens. He added that it deprives the plaintiff of his property without due process of law, and denies to the plaintiff equal protection of the law, the pardon charges.
The rule under controversy was passed by the county commissioners Feb. 20, to state that dancing could not be permitted in an establishment licensed to sell beer. This was amended April 10, to state that dancing would be permitted between 8:30 p.m. and midnight providing that no beer was sold after 7:30 p.m. that same evening.
Dance Manager Post Open for Next Year
Applications for next year's dance manager must be mailed to Billie Marie Hamilton, 1244 Louisiana, before Saturday, Miss Hamilton, chairman of the social committee of the All-Student Council, said today.
Those sending in applications must include name, classification, qualifications, and other activities in which they have taken part at K.U. The social committee, Jane Peterson, Carroll McCue, Marguerita Kerscher, and George Darsie, will choose the new manager sometime next week.
WEATHER
Kansas — Generally fair and warmer today except light showers extreme southeast this morning. Fair tonight and Tuesday.
