Burglary
$35 Taken
At Sigma Chi
Dawn thieves made their secon- raid within a week on a Hill fraternity house last night, when $35 in money, a 32-caliber pistol, and a valuable ring were stolen from the Sigma Chi house. The burglary was reported to Lawrence police to have occurred sometime between 2 and 6:45 a.m.
Sometime after 2:30 o'clock last Wednesday morning clothing and personal articles valued at $150 were taken from the Delta Chi house. This burglary centered in two rooms, however, while at the Sigma Chi house men in every room on both floors suffered losses.
All rooms which had been open were entered, a member of the fraternity said. Men started getting up as early as 6:45 a.m., and soon almost all of them were reporting losses. A 32-caliber pistol was stolen from one man, $11 from another, $6 from another, and a valuable ring from one member. Money in smaller amounts was taken from other rooms.

M.S.C. Wants To Dig
A cast of 10 characters is putting the final touches on the production rehearsals of "Charley's Aunt," faecial comedy in three acts, this week before presenting the play in Fraser theater April 6 and 7.
Play-Offs Today In Bridge Tournament
There will be no midweek tomorrow night, the Student Union Activities board announced today.
First presented in 1892, the play by Brandon Thomas centers around the old theme of mistaken identity. Charley Wykeham and Jack Chesney have invited Kitty Verdun and Amy Spettigue to their rooms for luncheon in order to meet Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez, Charley's aunt from Brazil. Miss Spettigue and Miss Verdun accept the invitation, but the millionaire
Costumes and scenery for the play will be in the style of the ninties. Three scenes have been designed by D. Dixon, instructor in speech and drama. Students in Dixon's stagecraft class have helped with the construction work.
Donna sends a telegram saying she will not arrive for a few days.
Tickets for the play will go on sale Thursday in the ticket office in Green hall. Robert Calderwood, associate professor of speech, is the director of the production.
Professor E. A. Stephenson, petroleum engineering department, attended the meeting of the America Petroleum Institute last Thursday and Friday in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The two men will not give up the opportunity of declaring their love for the young women so they force Lord Fancourt Babblerney into a black satin skirt, a lace fichu, a pair of mitts, and an old-fashioned cap and wig. When this fake aunt is introduced, she immediately gains the favor of all. Conflict arises, however, when the real aunt arrives unexpectedly and explanations become necessary.
Defense Set-Ups
Calisthenics
Hill women are changing the place of their "daily dozen" from private boudoir to Robinson gym; but the men aren't interested in maintaining a trim figure, if enrollment in the MSC - sponsored calisthenics class is any indication.
Henry Shenk, director of men's section, said he was very disappointed. "I'd like to see a lot more out for it," he said. "We're going ahead with the class in the hope that more will join."
Miss Melba Schilling, who leads the women in their work-out, said that the women were showing their colors, and that the outcome is not evident from the first class.
Honor Mothers ★★★
One Day Stand
The classes meet at 4:30 Monday and Wednesday in the gym, and undertake general conditioning exercises for an hour. Yesterday the first classes met, with 18 of the 32 women enrolled appearing, and only 10 of the 21 men enrolled.
Saturday, May 2. has been set as the date of the annual "University Mother's Day," Miss Elizabeth Megular, adviser to women, announced today.

Council Favors Second Annual Dandelion Day
Three foreign students on the Hill will discuss their own experiences and ideas of post-war planning at 9:30 p.m. tomorrow on the Forums Board broadcast over KFKU.
The bill, however, provides that the "third-term" council will have the same powers as the regular group. If any council members do not attend the summer sessions, their places will be filled, for the summer only, by the political party which originally appointed them under the recently-enacted emergency act which suspended election for a period of two years.
The Men's Student Council decided last night to approach Chancellor Deane W. Malott with the proposition that Dandelion Day be observed again this year.
Council sentiment was not entrey favorable to the move. Some members felt that University students as a whole were not overly sympathetic with the continuance of Dandelion Day on the campus. The vote on the question was 12 to 7.
To establish contact with the Chanceller, Dave Watermulder, president of the Council, appointed a four-man committee, consisting of Laird Campbell, chairman, Willis Tompkins, George Worral, and Jack Poos.
The Council also passed a bill which will place the MSC on a 3-term basis. The bill provides for an active council during the summer sessions, which, at least for the present, will be concerned mainly with the work of the war-defense committee.
Dandelion Day was instituted on the campus last year by the M.S.C. University students and faculty members were divided into teams, and spont the entire morning exterminating the pesky yellow flowers from all parts of the Hill. Festivities were the order of the afternoon, and included a street dance, a carnival, and the awarding of prizes to the winning teams of the morning's competition.
The group set April 6 as the date for the installation of the new Men's Student Council. Names of the new members will be announced as soon as both Pachacamac and P.S.G.L have made respective selections.
Views From Chile, China
Marmaduke Grove, graduate student from Santiago, Chile, Mou-Hui King, sophomore engineer from Peijing, China, and Dew Mar, college sophomore, who has spent 10 years in China, will be the speakers.
Prof. W. E. Sandelius of the department of political science, will act as moderator for the discussion, "Foreign Students Look at the Post-War World."
