STUDENT PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
38TH YEAR.
The halls were split with Carruth and Templin supporting a 5-4-4 scheme, and Battenfeld, a 5-4-3, the numbers representing Battenfield, Templin, and Carruth respectively.
Most difference of opinion was over representation on the most important governing body established, the Inter-hall council.
Co-ops Battle Over Dorm Apportioning
After five stormy hours of debate, the University co-ops—Battenfeld, Templin, and Carruth—adopted a joint constitution last night.
With midnight approaching, a compromise of 5-4-3 with a five-sixths majority of the council necessary for passage of any measure was unanimously adopted.
LAWRENCE KANSAS WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1941.
Ranking below the Inter-hall council is the Individual house council, which will handle intra-house affairs. Each hall will have a forum to handle problems of a technical nature, all complaints, and act as an advisory board for the house council.
Other features of the new constitution provide for recall of any hall or Inter-hall officer and for interpretation of the constitution by joint house meeting.
Lobby For Hobby
Symphocrome
For T. D. Jones' Symphochrome, the artist's helpmate, an especially constructed "little theater" will be set up in Kansas City, Mo., municipal auditorium during the hobby and antique show, May 15-18. K. W. Davidson, director of information and instructor of journalism, announced yesterday.
T. D. Jones, assistant professor of design, is head of the booth decorations for the space allotted to the University.
NUMBER 141.
Hold Big Concert Monday
Tibbett Sellout
From Wiedemann's Lawrence To See Itself
When he sings in Hoch auditorium at 8:20 o'clock Monday evening, Tibbett will not be making his first appearance at the University.
Eleven years ago, when his spectacular career was just beginning, he presented a concert on this campus. Then he was little more than just another young singer; today he is a radio and grand opera star, and is known as the "world's greatest baritone."
Today and tomorrow the Granada theater is showing films of the life and industry of the city. The movie, presented three times each day, is sponsored by the Lions club.
The reason—now Dean D. M. Swarthout is making arrangements to place 75 seats on the Hoch auditorium stage and from that vantage point the girls certainly will be able to see the great baritone, regardless of how good or bad the acoustics are.
See Lawrence move in the movies!
Daily Entrada Rehearsals Begin
University girls who look at the Lawrence Tibbett posters, sigh, and say "Gosh, he sings, too!" should be glad that tickets to the concert are almost gone.
To Midweeks
A selected group saw Ruth Rodgers, college sophomore and University Relays queen, as the cinema "visitor" at a preview last night. Miss Rodgers is shown the city while her activities ranging from cashing an out-of-?
ranging from cashing an out-of-town check to getting the morning milk, are recorded on film.
Four University students and A. H. Sluss, professor of mechanical engineering, were among the members of talen sponsor committee who met Monday night to assign quotas for the Coronado Entrada spectacle to be held in Memorial stadium June 5 and 6. Each organization represented at the meeting was asked to supply a quota of individuals for the cast of 550.
University students present at the meeting and the organizations they represented were Doris Twente, college junior, Women's Self Governing Association; Sue Johnston, college junior, University Pan-Hellenic Council; Robert McKay, first year law, Men's Student Council; and Don Morton, senior class president.
Tonight's rehearsals will mark the opening of a daily drill which will continue until opening night. The pageant will contain 49 speaking parts but the vocal work will be done by selected Lawrence narrators.
More than 400 feet of movie is of the University, including shots taken at a mid-week dance, and at Wiedemann's. All places of interest in and around Lawrence as well as
many students and citizens are in the show.
All proceeds from the picture will go toward buying playground equipment for the city parks.
Commentators for the film are Station WREN announcers.
Fourteen $1 seats and 70 tickets at $2 each remained on sale at the School of Fine Arts office at noon today.
On the day of the concert general admissions to the unreserved sections will be available at the fine arts office at $1.50 in the student section "catch as catch can," and the 75 stage seats will be the same price. Activity tickets will admit students.
Tibbett will sing a program of remarkable variety including such well-known favorites as "None but the Lonely Heart" (Tschaikowsky), "Pilgrim's Song" and "Deep River" and the Negro folk song, "Hangman, Slack on de Line."
No artist is more generous with his encorets at the end of the program than Tibbett, and as encore numbers he sings many of the old favorites that have endeared him to the American public.
Educate Frosh Counselors
Ninety prospective freshman counselors will hear talks by Dr. Beulah Morrison, professor of psychology, and Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building.
Yesterday J. H. Nelson, associate dean of the College, spoke to the group on the importance of making freshman women adjust themselves to the activities of freshman week and the schedule following.
A trust fund for furnishing a room in the proposed extension to the Memorial Union building will be the gift of the class of 1941 to the University. This fund, which will contain more than $1,500, was voted on at a meeting of the senior class yesterday.
Another meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Pine room.
Discussion on counselling problems was led by Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser of women and head of the counselor system.
Universities all over the country are establishing counselling systems, Nelson said, and many colleges have written to ask how the system operates here. He asked the women to consider being a counselor not simply an activity, but a job.
Union Wing Gets Funds
The fund will be placed either in the hands of Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, or Charles F. McCreight, accountant in the bursar's office.
Heavy Vote
Name Winners Tonight
Students in the School of Business made a last minute rush to the polls to elect officers this morning. When the polls closed the vote was relatively heavy—an estimated 254 votes had been cast out of a possible 310.
Anxious candidates will be informed of election results at the School of Business banquet in the Memorial Union building tonight.
A lecture on E. W. Howe, who was editor and founder of the Atchison Globe, will be given at 3:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in room 213 of Fraser hall by John H. Nelson, associate dean of the College.
Nelson To Lecture On Editor Howe
Ed Howe was a noted journalist, both for his column, "The Sage of Potato Hill" and his book, "In a Country Town." Howe, who died four years ago, was selected as last year's member of the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame, composed of outstanding journalists of the state.
Bird Nest **** Malott's Robin Returns
Who? The little robin who for several years has nested and raised her young on a window sill of Frank Strong hall.
This year, however, she has changed her place of abode. She now nests in an east window sill on the south side of the building between the practice rooms of the School of Fine Arts and rooms used by the mathematics department.
Previous to this year her nest had been in a window sill of the Chancellor's office. There she gained much publicity as the "Chancellor's feathered friend" and even posed for pictures with both Chancellor Malot and the late Chancellor-emeritus Lindley.
She's back!
Service Fund Tag Day Drive Combs Hill
"I see you're not wearing a tag. Would you like to contribute to the W.S.S.F.?"
From left and right came that query today, Tag Day, as 200 slit ice cream containers were thrust at anyone not flaunting the tag stating, "I have shared."
The intensive campaign had produced $357 by 1:30 o'clock this afternoon, $117 of which was collected on the campus this morning.
This is $643 short of the $1,000 goal established by the Fund. About 20 universities so far have contributed this amount.
The meter in front of Watson library is regulated each hour, according to the increase in contributions.
Have Money Meter
By noon today it was difficult to find a student without a tag. When one appeared, he was quickly surrounded—and emerged from the struggle with a tag.
Headquarters in the center hall of Frank Strong hall was the focal point for the 200 students, who turned in their collections every hour.
At the same time, slides thrown on the wall told onlookers what a certain amount contributed would buy in America, and what it would buy for a European refugee student.
Eberhardt in Charge
Preliminary activities to Tag Day have been carried on under the direction of Fred Eberhardt, college junior, chairman of the fund on the Hill, and Claude Nelson, national director of W.S.S.F., here from New York City for the past week.
Funds have come from other sources besides solicitation of students. Members of the faculty, students attending the Prison Fare banquet last night, and stags paying admittance to the W.S.S.F. midweek next Wednesday, have and will share.
"I If I Had the Wings of an Angel, sang 175 students as they sipped unsalted bean soup and chewed unbuttered bread at the Prison supper in Memorial Union ballroom last night sponsored by the World Studen Service Fund.
175 Students Eat a la Bastille W.S.S.F. Stars Bean Soup
The menu included bean soup and bread only—no salt, no pepper, no butter, no strawberry jam.
of student problems in the warring countries.
Speaker at the supper was Claude Nelson, national director of W.S.S.F. and for seven years Y.M.C.A. secretary in Rome. Since he has visited China and was in Europe as recently as last May, he told first-hand stories
During the soup-supping favorite remarks were, "Pass the custard pie," and "Does anybody else want the sugar?" The dieticat fare did not seem to be too popular.
"But it was good soup," insisted Jean Stouffer, who was in charge of the supper.
The Prison supper took the place of the bowl of rice dinner which has preceded the W.S.S.F. drive in former years. Soup and bread were 35 cents, clear profit for the fund since the food was donated.
