ENTRADA---
velopment of Kansas is also included.
A pantomine cast of 500 persons from Lawrence and vicinity will present the show, supervised and coached by Jerry Cargill, of the Cargill Production company of New York. Cargill and a staff of skilled helpers will come to Lawrence several weeks in advance to recruit and train personnel. A special sound cast will be housed in a booth, and actors on the stage will act only in pantomime.
The stage will be lighted by 70 or 100 units of light totalling 100,000 watts.
For Pan-American Relations
The Entrada is intended to develop appreciation of early history and its importance to the United States in the desire for more free relations with the other American republics.
The Entrada was made possible through the efforts of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, which raised the money to underwrite the show. Headed by Fritz Meyn, the Chamber of Commerce Entrada committee will cooperate with the Seventy-fifth Anniversary entertainment committee, under the direction of Leslie Waters, assistant professor of economics.
Cargill will be in Lawrence Wednesday afternoon to meet with the Chamber of Commerce and members of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary operating committee to discuss the details of the program.

Negotiations are under way with WREN to broadcast the crowning of the king and queen at 4 p.m. Wright said yesterday.
Not All-City Holiday
Dandelion Day will not be an all-city holiday, as was first believed, since several plans conflict. However, the Junior Chamber of Commerce may promote a week of extensive city-wide digging, Dick Barber, president of the Junior C. of C. said today.
Just to guarantee that students dig dandelions only, a course will be held in dandelion digging next Monday after the final meeting of team captains at 4:30 in the Memorial Union building, said Bill Farmer, third year law student, who is in general charge of Dandelion Day.
A meeting was held this afternoon for team captains who were not present at the meeting yesterday. Girls drew the names of co-captains yesterday, so they will know with whom they combine.
The final meeting will be next Monday afternoon in the Kansas room.

Diplomatic Front
Defense project No. 4—Diplomatic front. Cooperation between North and South America is highly desirable at this time and university officials have not overlooked this. A course in Fortuguese was reinstated at the beginning of the semester and special emphasis has been placed upon Pan-American activities in connection with the course.
The South American good will program has been continued by scheduling Guiomar Novae, brilliant Brazilian pianist, and Julien Bryan, noted lecturer and traveller, who presented a lecture on South America illustrated with moving pictures. Home Front
Defense project No. 5 - Home front Chancellor Malott calls attention to the democracy forum which has been conducted by the University since the first of the year. Nearly 100 speeches on subjects related to democracy have been delivered before civic or professional groups throughout the state by members of the University staff.
Defense project No. 6—Student front. High school graduates this spring will be able to complete the usual four-year University course in the College, School of Business, music department of the School of Fine Arts, and the School of Education in three years. This is made possible by the utilization of summer sessions and special arrangements of schedules.
Special arrangements are also available in the School of Engineering and Architecture for summer work which will reduce by half a year the length of time required for the completion of the courses. Extension Courses
The University extension division is supervising enrollment in a training course in aeronautical engineering at Wichita. The courses, under federal supervision, are chiefly concerned with aeronautical engineering, and enrollment has grown to more than 200.
Crisis may come and crisis may go, but the University has apparently borrowed the Boy Scout motto "Be Prepared."
The Salvation Army does not have kitchen facilities, and the feeding of the transient is done through the cooperation of privately owned restaurants throughout the town. The transient does not receive his bedding and meals as an outright gift, but must do some sort of work around the Salvation Army headquarters.

The greater part of the hobo transients applying to the Salvation Army headquarters, are middle-aged men.
The hobo is no real menace to the town of Lawrence, according to the police department, but the handling of those who do come into Lawrence can be improved in many ways.
Nickelodeons Supplant Negro Jug Bands
Memphis, Tenn.—(UP)—Colorful Negro jug bands, native to the Southland and a holdover from an era long past, are being driven into obscurity.
It used to be that every road house around Memphis and every small dance hall down around Beale Street hired jug bands to provide music for dancers, and a more rhythmic music never was produced any where.
But today nearly every "juke joint," cafe and hamburger stand is featuring the music of not one but a half dozen or more big name orchestras. Guy Lombardo plays while dancers in some dilapidated highway place cavort on a splintered floor. Energetic high school jitterbugs romp until early morning to the hot tunes of Tommy Dorsey and Jimmy Lunceford. The society set sips Scotch and soda in an exclusive place, listening to the melodies of just about any orchestra believed worth a nickel to hear.
It's all because of the nickelodeon which has brought music of the best orchestras within the reach of even the smallest restaurant proprietors.
An amusement company will install a nickelodeon without charge. The cafe owner pays for the electricity required and the company provides the music. Then the two divide the profit.
At a nickel a tune it doesn't take a juke box long to pay for itself, and in many cases the nickelodeons pay the rent of the place of business that houses it. That's why the reign of the old jug band appears to be at an end. Many of the old-timers lament the demise.
Usually the jug bands were made up of four or five Negroes who had rhythm in their bones. The jug band got its name from one of its instruments — a one-gallon jug.
