Glenn's Fame as Speaker Matches Track Laurels
Dr. Glenn Cunningham of the University of Kansas is making a new reputation for himself in the East, not as a runner but as a speaker. His speeches on clean living and clean athletics have been unusually successful, according to reports coming to the lecture bureau here.
Director of physical education of Camden, N.J. writes that Cunningham spoke to 10,000 high school students in South New Jersey and they want him back again next year.
was the most concise and direct talk on clean living, clean athletics, and clean scholarship that I have heard," by the secretary of the Y.M.C.A.
From Steubenville, Ohio comes this report, "Cunningham's lecture
"Cunningham held the audience in the palm of his hand. His talking is as excellent as his running," wrote the secretary of the Hartford, Conn. Y.M.C.A.
Greenwich, Conn, sent word that Cunningham was the best speaker to come to Greenwich in years.
Two High Schools Retain Titles
Cunningham lectures on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of each week, and on Saturday defends his titles on the cinder track.
Russell and Cullison high schools retained their state championships in the Kansas State High School Activities association debate tournament here yesterday afternoon in class A and C divisions, respectively, and Fredonia high school triumphed in the class B section.
Fredonia, winner of the class B division, and Valley Falls, runnerup in the same section, were the only finalists which swept through the semifinals without speaker rankings determining the issue. Valley Falls eliminated Abilene high school, last year's winner in the semi-finals.
In the other two divisions, the teams were hard pressed to reach the last round, Russell defeating Newton, which had advanced to the finals on speaker rankings, and Cullison winning over Eskridge, which had also reached the finals via the speaker ranking route.
Approximately 170 debaters and their coaches, representing 29 Kansas high schools participated in the tournament, and heard H. S. Ingham, director of the extension division, announce the results of the final session Saturday afternoon in Fraser hall.
Awards included trophies presented to the first and second place winners in each class by the University of Kansas and individual medals given to the members of the winning teams by the Kansas High School Activities association.

'Quality Street To a Full House Friday Night
"It was one of the most enthusiastic crowds I have ever seen," Robert Calderwood, associate professor of the speech and dramatic arts said yesterday, after the audience called four curtains at the end of "Quality Street" in its final performance Friday night.
Not only were the seats completely sold out, but also more than 25 persons purchased standing room. Ticket sales for the four-night run were lower than usual. However, according to Don Dixon, assistant instructor of speech and dramatic arts, "This was probably due to the fact that many of the students hadn't yet received activity books.
The play, termed by many as the "best play in years," a sentimental-comic combination, drew tears and laughs, and applause from the audience like no other play for the past few years. Jack Nelson and Mary Noel, talented University Thespians had the leads.
The department of speech and dramatic arts is now deciding on the play which will be presented on April 8.

Mrs. Coed Says:
"There once was a time when hubby scowled every time he put on a clean shirt. I'd hear mutterings about "sawtooth collars," and "cast iron starching" and — you get the idea. But since Independent has been doing my laundry I haven't heard a word . . . in fact, he actually told me he was pleased! No wonder, they seem to take personal expert care on each garment. And socks—they mend them . . . I'm a confirmed Independent Laundry customer."
