Prepare Photo History of K.U.
In preparation for the seventyfifth anniversary of the University of Kansas in 1941, Robert Taft, professor of chemistry, is compiling a complete photographic history of the University. The pictures will date from 1866 and show the transformation of an unpretentious frontier academy into a great state university.
Professor Taft is making the collection from photographs gathered from the ancient box cameras of alumni up to modern aerial photos. At present he has 300 views from which to select but needs many more for a complete record. According to Professor Taft pictures taken between 1910 and 1930, the years when the album fad was at its height are the most difficult to obtain.
Ivan C. Crawford, dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, Professor E. D. Hay, and Professor E. A. Stephenson, of the department of petroleum engineering, were among the University's representatives to the thirty-second annual meeting of the Kansas Engineering society in Wichita last weekend.
Three to Wichita Engineering Meet
Professor E. D. Hay, who is a member of the society board, went to Wichita earlier in the week to make preparations for the meeting. During the meeting he led the discussions in the mechanical section. E. A. Stephenson, professor of petroleum engineering, led a discussion on water resources and later was elected to a position on the society board for a two year period, replacing a University of Kansas man on the board with the expiration of Professor Hay's term this year.
An innovation in this year's meeting was several prize contests which were under the direction of Professor Hay. Prizes were offered for plans, reading of books and hobbies, Professors T. H. Marshall, professor of chemical engineering, W. C. McNown, professor of civil engineering, and V. B. Hessler, professor of electrical engineering were other representatives of the School of Engineering.
Brigham Calls For Drama Trials
"A new system of try-outs for Dramatic club will be used this semester," said Gordon Brigham, c'40 president, yesterday. Preliminary meeting was held this afternoon at 4:30 in Little Theatre of Green hall at which time the instructions on presentation of dramatic exercises were given. The candidates will return at the same time next week for the final session of try-outs. This double session try-out method where the student has a week to prepare his presentation has been substituted for the old method of ten minute preparation.
All students interested who did not attend this meeting should contact Gordon Brigham immediately.

ones. Four old maids who fainted
at the mere thought of men were:
Emily Jean Milam, Arlouine Good-
john, Shirley Jane Ruble, and Mary
Elizabeth Kirsch. Miss Kirsch has
a distinct Arkansas dialect which
amused some of the members of the
audience as she lectured an 1805
English soldier, in England, with
"Suh, you bring youah punishmahtn
on youahself."
Those who never have seen physical-culturalist, Frank Anneberg do anything but walk on his hands enjoyed seeing him right-side-up, as an old flirt of a recruiting sergeant. Frankly he was pretty good.
Emmy-Jane Harbin, as Patty, the Throssel's maid, deserves more than a mere listing of her name. She was the only female in the show who seemed totally unafraid of men. She was a good servant with just a little of the Mae West stirred in. David Developing Following
Larry David's New Yawk accent worked in very nicely for his part as Ensign Blades. David is developing quite a following among local theater-goers who hope to see him advanced beyond the supporting staff. Barbara Daniels, as Charlotte, performed passably.
When it was noised about recently that Frederick Fleming had returned to town, many there were who feared that he might assume again his Thespian aspirations. Those fears were realized last night when he wobbled on the stage as Lieutenant Spicer. If Lieutenant Spicer really was like Fred Fleming made him out to be, then there is no justice in war—what with so many good men getting killed.
Gordon Brigham was in the show too but not too much.
That Man Again---husky sunflower seems to be doing right well in a classic pink and white container. Despite the unusual environment in which the flower finds itself after Shore quit smearing paint, it has the fortitude to cast a healthy shadow on the crimson wall in the background. It's too yellow to blush.
Even the music was far above average last night with a group of musicians under the direction of Vincent Bleecker in the pit. Aiding Vincent were Eugene Nininger and Jack Stephenson.
The artist gives himself a plug in his third work, a self portrait, which is done in a style that is a complete reversal of methods used in most portraits. Without the white background, this artistic endeavor might have been a snapshot of the pressroom wit in a dark room during a blackout. Dark blue and black are the dominating color of this ink painting.
Shore uses the frie-wagon method of painting. He dobbs various colored inks on the canvas with his fingers and can easily turn out a finished piece in an evening. He has had no training in this rare form of art. He openly admits that he acquired it by wiping printers ink from his fingers. He does it with the ease of a girl scout toasting a marshmallow.
Shore, who once wrote that "Gone With the Wind" was a story about western Kansas, announces that he will keep his most cherished feminine creations, which are clothed only in wistful looks, at home because of the cold weather.
All's well that ends, but Shore imagination goes on forever.
