This business of fraternity houses being palaces of the idle rich is all hokum. We know. Only yesterday we drove by the Kappa Sig house over in the exclusive district and noted that no less than two windows are broken out in their dormitory.
Professor Crafton of the dramatics department is doing a fine job of painting scenery for his big revue that's to be unveiled sometime early next semester. We saw some of his work Sunday afternoon over in Fraser theater. It's a back-drop with scenes of the University on the library, School of Drama, and the Army. He even put Powler show in it, which is dangerous, soon as the Anti-Militarists of the Campus see the ROTC headquarters on the University stage, they'll swear the dramatics department is trying to militarize the school.

Saturday night Glenn runs in the
Kansas-Missouri Rivalry Looms In Glenn's Race
Doctor Cunningham stuck close to the leaders until the final lap and then blazed to a victory by five yards with a strong finishing kick. Blaine and Wayne Rideout, the North Texas Teachers' College twins, were second and third, respectively, and Chuck Fenske, former Wisconsin star, finished back in 61th place.
The tue of the Boston race was 15:2 which did not break speed limits, but which was satisfactory under the conditions. None of the runners was willing to set a fast pace, thus this largely accounted for he time.
The selections are Goddard's "Romantique Concerto" with the orchestra assisting Charlene Barber, fa39, violin solosit and concertmaster; and the "Unfinished Symphony" by Schubert.
Last Saturday he won the mile run from a crack field at the Knights of Columbus games in Boston for his third victory of the year in as many starts. He has lost only two races in the last two years.

Forty-Nine Fail To Pass Examination
- Hope of Having 70 Men
Qualified for the Flying
Course from 200 Applicants is Fading
Forty-nine of the 93 applicants for flying instruction have been eliminated in the preliminary physical examinations at Watkins Memorial Hospital, a division director of student health service, announced last night.
Fashion School Offers Fellowship
Forty-four of the applicants have been eliminated because of defective eyesight, underweight, and other physical debilities. Earl D. Hay, professor of mechanical engineering, who is desirous of having at least 70 men qualified for the final examination, is worried over the prospects of reaching that quota. Nearly 200 applications have been made, a number of them from freshmen. Hay has not received a definite recommendation to the government as to all the requirements. If freshmen are eligible, chances of reaching the quota of 70 will be much better. Hay said.
One University of Kansas woman graduate may be awarded a $700 fellowship covering all expenses for the year 1939-40 at the Tobe-Co-burn School of Fashion Career in the Rockefeller Plaza, New York.
The Tobe-Coburn school has offered five fellowships, each to be awarded in a different school throughout the United States. Seven women from this Univency have received the information concerning the offer.
Papers submitted by the candidates were due in the offices of the school at midnight last night and the recipients received their registration, and clarity of thought.
The new school is the only one in the country to prepare and qualify young women for executive positions in fashion work rather than training.
its faculty list includes such names, famous in the fashion world, as Elizabeth Arden and Lucien Leong.
Announcements of the fellowship awards will be made May 1.
