Double Feature Tonight With Midweek and Play
With Clayton Harbur in the bandstand at the Union building, and the cast of "Cradle Song" in the theater in Fraser hall, Kansas University students can choose their Wednesday night entertainment, but probably with difficulty.
The Midweekers may decide to dance an hour, then make a fashionable second act entrance at Fraser, and the true lovers of the theater will probably get in early for all three acts, and forget the midweek.
It ought to be a good fight, and may the best one win.

Week-end Celebrations---
I.S.A. Districts Will Sponsor Two Parties
"Aye, me buckes, rally round! We're 'avin a celebration Friday night."
Such might well be the cry of I.S.A. members of districts No. 2 and No. 4 today. The celebration is a two-district party at Miller hall from 9 o'clock to 12 Friday night, and the screwy lingo of the call is supposed to be the tongue of a pirate. You see it's going to be a Pirate ball, with each person attending in a costume.
The burly pirate who issued the rally command perhaps had stag ambitions, for this is going to be a
"girl capture boy" affair. With 1940 and the last college leap year for most of us soon to pass, the I.S.A. central council couldn't pass up this last chance for a leap-year dance. According to the books it will be strictly ladies' choice as far as dates are concerned, but men stags will be admitted to the party.
Ten cents per couple if both are I.S.A. members and 15 cents if one of the couple is not a member, plus ragged trousers, sleeveless shirts, bandaged heads, patched eyes and long whiskers are the requisites for
