First University Summer Council To Be Installed
The first University summer Men's Student Council will be installed on May 11, Vernon McKale, president, announced last night at the regular meeting of the Council in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
The establishment of a summer MSC on the Hill was the last legislative act of the 1941-42 Council which has just gone out of office. They deemed a summer organization necessary because of the increased enrollment and the extensive work of the war-defense committee.
McKale indicated that both parties would submit their slates of candidates within the next two weeks. Any member of the present Council who will be in summer school will, of course, keep his seat, and all vacancies will be filled by the party, which appointed the original representative.
These pro tem appointments will be effective only during the summer sessions. Original members who return to school next fall will resume their duties then.
The Council last night appropriated $135-$60 for the sponsorship of Parents' Day this spring, and $75 to the intramural board—and voted to help sponsor the Jayhawk Nibble and the Freshman Mixer during freshman week next fall.
Laird Campbell, Council chairman of the Hill waste paper contest, reported that the expiration date of the contest had been extended to May 16. It was originally scheduled to end this week.
Children's Collection In Exhibit
The best 94 children's books of the last five years, selected by the American Institute of Graphic Arts, are now being exhibited in Spooner-Thayer Museum under the sponsorship of the Parent Teachers Association, the Public Library, and the University department of design. The books will be exhibited for two weeks beginning yesterday.
This collection was first displayed last October at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City. The showing here will be the first in Kansas and the first in a smaller town. The museum will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
Thursday afternoon at 4:30 T. D.
Jones, assistant professor of design,
will give an informal talk, describ-
ing the books and the book-making
process. On Monday at 8 p.m., Sara
Laird, associate professor of English,
will discuss the books from the lit-
erary angle.
The American Institute of Graphic Arts has each year selected the 50 best books for adults, but this is the first time they have selected the best children's books.
University of Michigan student organizations gave 637 parties during the 1940-41 school year.

The last half of the program contains the "Skater's Waltz," and "Tideless," which portray objects that move in slow monotony and in a continuous pulse that goes on into infinity regardless of external confusion. "Satire on War," is a dance depicting the atmosphere of war based on the five big wars of the United States. Music arrangements for the dance were done by Ed Utley, fine arts sophomore. "Regimentation" is another dance interpreting the theme of war. The last number on the program, "The Tyrant" shows the inevitable fate of a tyrant who arises from the people, subjects them to his will, and then falls.
Accompanists for the recital will be Margaret Fultz, fine arts junior, Margaret Dunn, fine arts senior, and Ed Utley.
Hu Shih Says-limited. Scholars must not express doubt concerning the authenticity of the accepted myths of the country.
As a third point of contrast between China and Japan, Dr. Hu listed the ease and rapidity with which Japan has transformed herself into a first-rate military power overnight. No country but militaristic Japan could accomplish this change so quickly, Dr. Hu said. Japan with its tradition of expansion and world conquest is the enemy of China.
Dr. Hu concluded his address with a summary reiteration of the fact that the conflict in the East was between two diametrically opposed ways of life, and was a part of the world's struggle for democracy and peace. The Chinese, emphasized their ambassador, are fighting to preserve a way of life precious to them.
Kansas Mineral--
In addition to this group of raw materials, the location of trunk pipe lines for oil, gas, and gasoline are shown. Locations of plants and industrial establishments utilizing raw materials also are shown. These include refineries, natural gasoline plants, gypsum mills, salt plants, cement mills, potteries, brick and tile plants, plants producing asphalt, helium, pyrite, rock wool and carbon black, lead smelters and coal washing plants.
Assembled on one map, they represent all the varied resources and processing establishments in Kansas and illustrate the importance of Kansas as a mineral-producing state.
The map indicates that many of the mineral resources which the state contains in abundance are developed only to a small extent, or are totally undeveloped. In the present emergency the wide variety and abundance of mineral resources of Kansas, together with its geographic position, make it a strategic locale for essential war industries.
Critic Raves--real. The true theme of "The Women," though, is men—how to handle them, humor them, or divorce them.
Countess De Lage who had learned something new in each of her five marriages, was almost sensational, receiving applause upon her exit from the stage in this and a subsequent scene.
Jane Beal's leading role of Mary Haines grew steadily better after the first scene, and by the middle of the play the audience was wholeheartedly on the side of Mary, the mistreated but loving wife. Miss Beal did not let her histronics become theatrical; instead, she gave an effective, moving portrayal.
College junior Emma Louise Niedermeyer looked and acted a cuddy 10-year-old so effectively that the majority of the audience thought she had been brought from Pinckney Grade School. Butler was perfect as the wise-about-men mother of Mary Haines; Mary Cheney was effective as the usually expectant Edith Potter; and Comora MacGregor, the gossipy little manicurist, was excellent in a small role.

"the cause of it all," the other woman, Crystal Allen, made realistic by Martha Alice Horner. In an unsympathetic role, Miss Horner does her best to make Crystal unpopular—and succeeds.
Every actress down to the smallest "bit" player did an accomplished piece of work, which shows that it takes women to put a play across, and that Allen Crafton was on his toes. Acting Outscores the Plot
The plot of the play is somewhat meager. Its success has been due to its acid-etched characterizations of women, its witty dialogue and the unusualness of an all-women cast. It doesn't pull a punch, and if the women in "The Women" aren't altogether lovely, they are at least very
Acting Outscores the Plot
The story is concerned with how one woman, sincerely in love with her husband, is caused by the sophisticated tale-telling of her "friends" to divorce him in his one temporary lapse of fidelity and finally wins him back. Divorces and remarriages of her "friends" are side-issues of the play.
Therefore if women were exposed in Fraser theater last night, the glaring faults and indispensability of men were laid bare, too. Clare Booth has spared neither sex in "The Women," thereby making the theater-goer spend an enjoyable two hours seeing himself as a talented play-write sees him.
