In addition to being presented by the Summer Session Concert Series, and appearing as guest conductor,
Percy Grainger will give a series of lectures on conducting and will give his views and criticisms on the 1942 contest lists for band and orchestra.
CALLS 'COCK ROBIN'
are different. The costumes and scenery are good. Some of the actors are pretty good. Among them are Jessica Crafton, as Alice Montgomery, especially in her speech before the second act; Harlan Cope as Henry Briggs, the stagehand; John Stratton as Clarke Torrence; Robert Calderwood as Edgar Grace; and Ada Theriault as Carletta Maxwell.
As for the others, they presented a variety of acting which fell somewhat below the standard set by those previously mentioned. Allen Crafton was fairly good, but he had a natural role. He didn't have to act. All he had to do was speak lines. Therefore, he can't be expected to be called a standout.
Calls Cope Standout
For the standout spot, we pick Cope. He was at least convincing. There may be something to the fact that this is one of the most difficult
plays tried by the dramatists in the past few years, but we still think that the thing could have been more convincingly done.
Take the case of the re-enactment of the murder scene in the last act. In the actual performance, the players did the lines almost perfectly; but in the re-enactment, they stumbled around like they hadn't seen the script. There are two possibilities in this case. Either the script called for the players to lose command of the lines, in which case the play itself falls down; or the script directed the players to lose command of their lines under the stress of the situation. In this case, the actors were at fault. They did not give the impression of being under great stress.
The whole play gave the effect of being stilted and unnatural. When one considers the play as an experiment, it was worthy and undoubtedly good training for the actors; but if we look at it from the standpoint of pure entertainment, we would suggest a good movie, if there be such animal.
Not Best, Not Worst
As far as the play is concerned, it isn't, by far, the best play we've seen. On the other hand, it isn't the worst.
It simply does not deserve the praise that some think it should have, mainly because it tries to get by on originality and unusualness instead of good acting and presentation.
The highly advertised fact that the identity of the murderer is kept secret until the last act seems overrated. Almost every mystery tries to do it. So did "Cock Robin." Maybe we've got some bloodhound in us, but we guessed in the first act.
game, March 11. After these are gone, the sale of general admission tickets and standing room will begin for that game as for the others. Choice Seats Gone

Choice Seats Gone
As the season has progressed, interest in the Jayhawkers has mounted until now a fan is lucky if he can obtain a seat where the view is not obstructed by a pillar or high in the second balcony where one has a bird's eye view of the game.
From the demand for tickets at this time it appears that two or three thousand more reserved seat tickets could have been sold for the Oklahoma game and several hundred more for the other two games remaining on the home schedule.
Three hundred standing room tickets were sold for the Nebraska game, and an equal number will be available for the coming games.
ISA STUDIES—
today. Each sheet contained 15 questions about activities that independent students might desire the organization to provide. Some sample questions concerned the desirability of dancing and bridge lessons, skating parties, and box suppers.
The idea of the questionnaires was worked out by Mary Gene Hull, college sophomore, and social chairman of the LS.A. Results of the questions will be tabulated Monday night, and Tuesday the central council will work out a social program for the spring semester adopting the most acceptable ideas.

THE SMOKE OF SLOWER-BURNING CAMELS GIVES YOU
EXTRA MILDNESS, EXTRA COOLNESS, EXTRA FLAVOR and
5 EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK!
BY BURNING 25% SLOWER than the average of the 4 other largest-selling brands tested -slower than any of them-Camels also give you a smoking plus equal, on the average, to 5 EXTRA SMOKES PER PACK!
LESS NICOTINE
than the average of the 4 other largestselling brands tested—less than any of them according to independent scientific tests of the smoke itself
YOU don't need a science degree to tell you that the pleasure you get from a cigarette is in the smoke itself! That's plain common sense! But science can tell you—has pointed it out many times—that Camels are definitely slower-burning. That means a smoke free from the harsh, irritating qualities of excess heat—a smoke that is extra mild, extra cool, and extra flavorful.
Now science confirms another important advantage of Camel's costlier tobacco and slower way of burning—less nicotine in the smoke (see above). So light up a Camel—now.
Try Camels. Smoke out the facts for yourself. Dealers everywhere feature Camels by the carton. For convenience—for economy—get your Camels by the carton.
