All-Student Cast Will Present 'Hay Fever' Next Week
NUMBER 52
★Second Dramatic Production of the Year Te Be a Sophisticated English Comedy
The stage settings, designed by Robert Johnson, c40, are now being completed. Don Dixon, stage manager, speaking of Johnson's work said, "Johnson has displayed a keen understanding for this production and its needs. The play needs a modernistic setting. Modern architecture offers many problems when attempted in stage design When the setting is in a firmly constructed building with the use of glider giders it is a simple matter to construct modern scenes, but when such productions are attempted using flash of color, animate the scene is expected. Johnson has shown unusual talent in this respect, and the settings he has made lend the proper mood to the action of the play."
"Hay Fever" is a sophisticated English comedy with an all-student cast, the members of which have ha experience in other Campus productions. The cast includes: Mary Noel c'40; Bob Rohde c'39; Betty Bradley, c'40; Lucille Wagner, gr; Marvin Moon, c'unl; Eluncr McCarty c'39; Roberta fa'39; Earl Porter c'39; and Lucille Gaynor c'39.
The Annie Players and Drummat Club will present their second production of the year when "Hao" played in Fraser Theater in Fraser theater starting Dec. 6.
Rehearsals are now under the direction of Prof. Allen Crafton. "Hag Fever" is a type of play that depends upon the direction for its effects. Professor Crafton must keep the humor within bounds so that it works and makes sense, and also must seize upon every opportunity to add punch to the lines.
The Kansas Players is the only group within the radius of Kansas City to have a regular theatrical presentation. In presenting plays the group tries to have one to please every type of play goer, and in "Hay Fever" they believe that they have found one that will appeal to everyone like smart, sophisticated comedy.

ON THE SHIN
Lindley Attends Meetings Of Trade Conferences
by jimmy robertson
Walter McNabb Miller, III, whom A.T.O. brothers call Bud, has one of the more unusual occupations. Last summer he was a guard and engineer in the prison mines at Boulder City, where he weekend trips to the prison to see how well his little friends are following the map he made for them.
Children of the Fourth Estate will no longer be permitted to play bridge in the Journalism building. Perhaps the decree will result in a better Kansan. Or maybe the boys can drink milk bottle and pinning tails on a donkey while waiting for things to happen.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley went to Kansas City yesterday to attend sessions of the Latin American trade commissioner sponsored by the chamber of Commerce.
Shinpoos, Foos, and Goos: Ann Miller wasn't doing so good on a recent Spanish quiz so she drew an apple on her paper and filled it in with lipstick. Subtle--that's Ama... . . . Marjorie Cox ate turkey six times during vacation. Her mother ought to buy smaller turkeys or raise a bigger family... In another two minutes this column will smell almost as bad as John Randolph Tye's.
Workmen are now busy landscaping the back yard of Frank Strong hall. Since the tennis courts have such excellent surfaces this will probably please everybody. However, I had thought that a lily pond on the library lawn was a greater necessity.
Because Harold Addington and some other boys were pictured in the Kansas City Star on their way to the Missouri game, Harold's folks thought he wouldn't be home for Thanksgiving so they went off to visit some relatives. But Harold didn't go to Columbia—he was just posing. Result was that when he did go home his folks weren't there and he had to mooch his turkey dinner from neighbors.
Midwest manufacturers and other interested persons were present. Several other University faculty members from the geology department, School of Geology, Architecture, School of Business attended the session.
Rumor Changes In Foreign Policy
The meetings will continue through tomorrow.
★Roosevelt Denies That Neutrality Act Amendments Are Complete
Washington, Nov. 28. — (UP)—Forceful participation by the United States in world politics under an amended neutrality act that would permit President Roosevelt to prohibit shipment of munitions to aggrressor nations but allow their purchase by attacked nations tonight appeared to be the aim of co-Presidential advisers on foreign affairs
Reports that the amendments, subject to President Roosevelt's approval virtually were completed, were denied both by the Chief Executive Warm Springs, Ga., and acting Secretary of State Summer Wells here.
The President's denial, however did not obviate the possibility that such plans are under consideration without yet having crystallized into specific recommendations which would be submitted to the next congress for enactment. Pointedly he insisted that Congress cannot only be true. His use of the word "unfortunately" was considered significant.
Wells described the report as premature. He said that Mr. Roosevelt and state department officials were studying problems created by the act and its application but that no recommendations had been prepared.
From other sources it was learned that far reaching and drastic changes, designed to affect this nation's foreign policy and give Mr. Roosevelt vast discretionary power in its application, have been drafted.
Duke Gets Bid To Rose Bowl
★Coach Wade Will Take His Fourth Team West This Year
Los Angeles, Nov. 28.-(UP) The "mighty Blue Devils of Duke University, undefeated, untied, and unscored on, champions of the southern conference were invited tonight to represent the East against the diversity of Southern California in the national Rose Bowl football game Jan. 2.
The announcement was made by Willis O. Hunter, director of athletics of Southern California, on behalf of the school's general athletic council.
The bid was the first ever tended to Duke or any other southern conference team in the 22 year history of the New Year's day classic.
However it was the seventh time the bid had been awarded a team below the Mason and Dixon line. The Blue Devils were invited over two other perfect record major eleven—Texas Christian and Tennessee, champions of the southwest and southeast conferences tively—six hours after Pacific State unanimously to carry its banner into the Passadena
Earlier in the day a straw vote conjectured by sports writers revealed that the Southern California players favored the Durham North Carolina eleven by a two-thirds majority. Texas Christian ranked second with virtually no sentiment toward Tennessee. Carnegie Tech, Oklahoma and Cornell were also considered illigible.
Blue Devils Accept Bowl Invitation
Durham, N. C., Nov. 28. (UP)—Duke University tonight announced acceptance of the invitation to play northern California in the Rose Bowl.
Duke, whose perfect season is the first among major college eleveners of the year, won the season of 1932 without defeat and without being tied or scored upon.
Continued on page 2
Dr. W. D. Davis, chairman of the University athletic board and faculty representative to the Big Six, received a telephone call yesterday from Norman, Okla., concerning an investigation about a possible bid to a local game.
Oklahoma Asks Permission To Accept Bowl Bid
Doctor Davis said he told Oklahoma authorities he favored waiving the Conference rule prohibiting post-season games in the event the Sooners are invited to any holiday 'intersectional match.
Student Council Plans Budget

Game Called For 7:30 Tonight
★Must Have 'C' Average To Play With Either Quintet
Shoulder pads and cleated brogans of the griders have hardly had time to acquaint themselves with the smell of mothballs, but already the athletic spotlight has deserted Memorial stadium and tonight at 7:30 it will be shining in full force in Hoch auditorium where Dr. F. C. Allen pits his Varancy cagers against the freshmen in Mount Oread's 1938-39 basketball curtain-raiser.
It will be last year's Big Six champions against a squad of squad of high school stars rounded up to carry the Jahawker colors the next three years. Last year the game was established as an annual affair and the Varsity barely escaped with a 44 to 40 triumph after Ralph Miller and Howard Engleman racked up 15 points each.
No Fresh hot-shots of that caller have been uncovered so far during the fall practices, but a hustling band of hoop-hitters having its first fling at the college sport is expected to battle its collective heart out against a Jayhawker crew that is already looking as good as it did last year in conference competition.
To Plain Boss Bunches
To Play Both Benches
The basketball maestro will divide his time between the two benches as he sends various combinations into the jousting.
Starting at the forwards for the Varsity will be George Golay, a big, rough 6 foot 3 lad and one of last year's leading scorers, and either he or his teammate will both lettermen who saw much service with last season's outfit.
Lester Kappleman, playing his third campaign for the Crimson and Blue, will draw the opening center or "quarterback" assignment. Guards will be Lyman Gorlis and Dick Harp, who divided most of the time at the ball park and occupied by Fred Pricile. Goalie was acting captain for the game.
Two Frosh Teams Ready
Two yearling quintets are ready for the opening whistle and "Phoq" was not ready to say which one would get the nod last night. One unit would have Miller Cameron and John Krum at forwards, Bob O'Neill and Healy at guards, and Virgil Wile at center. The other has Blaine Halsey at left and Jeff Browning in line attack, Jack Trice at the "quarterback" position and DeWitt Potter and Bob Bond taking over defensive roles.
Coach Allen made it emphatic that no player will take part on either side who is not averaging "C" in his college work. Last year the starting Frosh five of Miller, Engleman, Allen, Kline, and Mesner was an all National Honor Society team. Tonight four of the five will be ready to take the floor in their first shots of varsity competition. Miller, still nursing a knee injury that kept him from the last two football tittles, will give the leg more time to get in condition.
The contest will begin with the impressive flag-raising ceremony and last night Russell L. Wiley was trying to find time to have his busy University band on hand for the National Anthem. Dr. E. R. Elbel of the department of physical education will introduce members of both squads over the public address system and announce substitutions and various plays during the game.
Former Stars to Officiate
A. E. Woostemeyer and Elmer Schaake, both members of former championship Kansas basketball teams, will do the officiating.
It will be the first of three games for the freshman team this season. Saturday night after the game between Warrensburg, Mo., Teachers and the Jayhawkers the Fresh will meet last year's champs. Fred Prale, an all-American and voted the most valuable player in the National tourney, will come up from Bartlesville and Sylvester Schmidt will come down from Marysville for the tilt. At the end of the season the yearlings will again play the K. U. varsity.
