Service Frat Joins Victory Book Drive
Dutch Hollands and his band from Kansas City provided the music for the dancers and a special musical introduction to the coronation.
Preceding the ball members of Sigma Tau and Tau Beta Pi, engineering fraternities, entertained their dates in an annual joint banquet in the Kansas room at 6:30 p.m.
Lewis Medlin, president of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, said yesterday that the organization had adopted a plan to aid the collection of books for the Victory book campaign.
Boxes in which students may leave their books will be placed in Fraser hall, the rotunda of Frank Strong hall, and in Marvin hall.
Members of the fraternity will contact all organized houses to ask them to cooperate with the program. The faculty members need no persuasion, as they donated a large part of the books already turned in.
Books will be collected from the boxes and taken to Watson library. The reserve and periodical desks are still taking books for the campaign. From Watson library, the books are taken to the city library, where they are prepared for shipment. Charles M. Baker, director of University libraries and vicechairman of the Victory book campaign in Lawrence, said that more than 400 books have been shipped to Ft. Leavenworth, and that about 500 more are at the city library awaiting shipment.
Plans for the presentation of Benn Levy's comedy, "Mrs. Moonlight," have been changed by the department of speech and drama because of conflicting dates with the lecture by Vincent Sheean, Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama and director of the staged reading announced yesterday.
"Mrs. Moonlight" Schedule Changed
The program for season ticket holders will be presented as scheduled at 8:15 p.m. tomorrow in the little theater in Green hall. The presentation for activity ticket holders, however, has been changed from Tuesday night to 8:20 Thursday night. The place of the reading will be the same.
The presentation of the staged reading is a new experiment for the department of speech and drama. The play which has been cut to approximately one hour will, be read in the manner of a radio production, Professor Crafton explained.
The play is the story of a middle-aged woman, Mrs. Sarah Moonlight, who, when she sees old age approaching, wishes that she might never grow old, especially in appearance. The plot develops around this wish when it is putted.

On the Blue Parking Space At Hospital
Visitors at Watkins Memorial hospital no longer need fear the little red tickets which result from parking "on the orange." The part of the hospital-front circle which is nearest the hospital entrance has been painted blue, and six parking spaces have been marked off for visiting cars.
A. D. Schick, campus policeman, announced yesterday that students will be allowed to park in the blue-curb spaces while they are visiting patients in the hospital, but those who park there and go away to class will be given tickets just as if they had parked in totally restricted zones.
Parson Injured Last Night
An orange space has been left directly in front of the hospital entrance for unloading. Any car parked in that space at any time will be eligible for a parking ticket, Schick said.
