Snooping Around News and Views from other colleges
"George Washington Slept Here," the rollicking three act comedy written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman was the opening play of the 1942 season at Kansas State College Friday and Saturday evenings.
"Picture a windowless, waterless, almost rooftop stone house without any furniture, a plough in the kitchen, and four city slick guests coming to visit and you have the setting for 'George Washington Slept Here'", says the Kansas State Collegiate.
"Welcome Home" for Alumna
Soon to return to the University of Oklahoma, after an absence of six years, is Miss Virginia Hawk, who will become director of WNAD, broadcasting station at the university, on Nov. 15.
Miss Hawk attended the University of Oklahoma for three years and spent two years at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. For the past eight months she has helped in the government's wartime radio program, in connection with the Office of War Information.

Act Exhibit at Nebraska
Showing until Nov. 22 is the annual All-Nebraska Artists show which opened Sunday on the University of Nebraska campus.
Only the best drawings and water colors of the Nebraska artists for the past year were chosen for the show. The display also includes pottery, woodcarving, small sculpturing, costume dolls and marionettes. Several works by Nebraska University students were chosen for the exhibit. Creek Row Still Alive
Within the short space of one day and a night two lions and an Indian (statuary), some garbage cans, and a couple of unidentified parties kept life going at the University of Washington.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Kappa Sigma fraternities each lost a lion and the Kappa Sig's lost an Indian too. The SAE pledges decided that the Sigma Kappa sorority had their lion. When the SAE's became too persistent, the ladies, with the aid of the Phi Sigma Kappa rigged a raft made of SAE garbage cans and set Leo afloat on the Frost pond, and put a sign, reading "Compliments of Sigma Kappa and Phi Sigma Kappa" out where every one could see it.
Leo weighed too much, and he and the garbage containers slid into the watery depths and drowned. Hoping to keep the death a secret, Sigma Kappa pledges swam out and removed the sign, and a Phi Sig replaced it with one reading "Golden lion for sale; inquire below."
So far, the Kappa Sig property is still missing.
University Graduate Commits Suicide
Robert Focht, Jr., editor of the Eureka, Kans., Democrat Messenger, and a graduate in 1924, shot and killed himself Thursday at his home in Eureka. Friends said that he had been brooding over his pending induction into the army, Nov. 4.
While at the University, Focht was a member of El Ateneo, president of his Country club, and a member of the Jayhawker staff, and journalism major.

TO TURN COLLEGES--navy should decide whether he should stay in college to be trained for war, or be inducted into the fighting forces at once. The women, too, should remain in college only while they are being trained for their part in the war effort."
High school courses, Hopkins says, should be shortened to give students more time to work, especially on farms. "I see no reason for wasting time today on what are nonessentials, such as Chaucer and Latin." Hopkins advocates the increased use of women in the war effort. He points, as an example of their effectiveness, to the Russian women and the job they have done and are doing.
"Men's and women's clothing will be standardized and rationed before the end of 1943". Hopkins predicts. Beauty parlors will find no new machines available, and very few replacement parts. There will always be plenty of essential cosmetics," says Hopkins, such as lipstick, powder, rouge, creams, hand lotions, deodorants. And there will always be plenty of soap.
"There will be no scarcity of chewing gum, nor of women's hats, which can be made out of anything.
No Scarcity For Hats
Hopkins has outlined in his article a plan that is revolutionary and sweeping in its scope. He advocates a drastic plan for making every man, woman, and child in America available for war service. Hopkin's article may foreshadow a sensational manpower act with teeth in it—a law unpendedent in this country."

ORIENTAL DANCERS--theme for the next number, danced by Devi Dja and Wani.
A rather wild folk-sport and dance of Sumatra, "Piring," was performed by Devi Wani, Mimah, and Tinah.
Nymphs Discover Dancing
The "Temptation of Buddha," a Javanese dance, included the entire ensemble. Royal courtesans beg Buddha, in the person of Devi Dja, to return to his life as prince, but he resists earthly temptation, and returns to his meditation.
Following intermission, one of the most graceful dances, "Srimpi," a court dance of Javanese princes, was presented. The legend surrounding it tells how Brahma created divinely beautiful nymphs who, by flitting over the ocean waves in rhythm, discovered the art of dancing.
Devi Tinah and Mimah, armed with shields and spears, danced the "Chakal-Lele," a Papuan performance representing hunters searching for prey.
Kris Dance Almost Fatal
The Javanese "Kris" dance, performed by Mas Jafri, was a frenzied struggle in which the king of Madjahapait imagines himself attacked by enemies, fights back, and in his excitement stabs himself.

"The Boogie Man Will

"Krishna Tresno," a solo dance by Devi Tinah, was really a story in pantomime. It is the tale of the naughty Krishna who teases a group of milkmaids bathing in the stream by stealing their clothes. He refuses to bring them back, and the maids are forced to flee, covering themselves with leaves and ferns.
"Slapsie" Maxie Rosenbloom
The most comical dance on the program was a Javanese pantomime, "Djaran Kepang," danced by Devi Wani, Mimah, and Mas Jafri. Facial expressions and actions portrayed the antics of a would-be wolf torn between two clever maids.
Finishing the program, the entire ensemble danced the "Mintorogo," a Javanese legend of magical beauty. Indra and the gods tempt Dianoko, a mortal, by sending beautiful fairies to beguile him. He remains steadfast, pleases the gods, and they in turn present him with a magic arrow. The Demon king enters and tries to destroy him, but Dianoko uses his magic and turns on the Demon. The gods rejoice and honor Dianoko even more.
During the entire program the scene was one of the Dutch East Indies with their quaint, weird music and dancing. It was such a change from the scene in Hoch auditorium last Friday night.
