Varsity
Defeats
Alumni
Lindsey's Men Over-run Veterans, 13; Renko. Hall and Hardware Make Touchdowns
By Jim Bell, c'40
Playing under a hot sun and in a torrid temperature, the Jayhawk varsity won easily from a squid composed chiefly of members of the alumni supplemented by vary and freshmen players, 13-7. The secreto though game but the varsity had its own way through out the whole game.
Coach Ad Lindsay used his whole squad playing each man freely. "Ad" was not as pessimistic as usual, and after the affair was over he thought that the squad as a whole "looked better than any other team," something to say about chances in the Big Six next year, however. After watching the classy broken field running of America, Sullivan and Miller and the bull-like line smashes in the second half and said, "We've got a lot more speed than in the last few years."
The varsity moved down to a quick touchdown after the kickoff when Renko blocked a punt. Suze smashed the "old men's" line for 10 yards and then passed to Renko in the end zone for the first score. Big George Stapleney knocked the ball but was attempted for the extra point.
Pass Gains 60 Yards
The alumni came back strongly and made a bid when Skair's passes to Hays and Stapleton clicked for a 60-yard gain. The next heave was intercepted and the alumni didn't threaten again.
The lone alumni touchdown came as a surprise in the fourth quarter when Rodger Hardace, a freshman playing for absent alumni end, Jake Sullivan, the defensive end, the end zone. Dean Neumith added a point by driving off tuckle.
The second varnish score came in the second period when Ed Hall plunged 15 yards off tackle. Hall scored on the point by cracking the same hole.
In the closing minutes of the contest the Jayhawkers opened up with some real razzle-dazzle football. They made one beautiful play when he stepped into the end and ran 15 yards. When he found himself hemmed in, he later escorted to Sullivant who scampered 40 yards through the deep secondary across the goal. Redeer Conger scored that play and it was not allowed.

High School Instructors and Students Attend Conference
Chemists Meet Here
Surprising new developments is the field of chemistry, as it is related to cookery and other arts, were explained and demonstrated yesterday before 213 students and teachers who registered for the high school chemistry conference, at which 40 high schools were represented.
Subjects treated in the talks included new concepts in chemistry; the history of aluminum; chemical engineering practice; chemical instruments; glass blowing; classification of elements; food inspection and analysis; the work of the petroleum engineer; spices, flavors and perfumes; and a talk on the Perkins company and its buttons of W. H. Perkins, who discovered the analine dye, "Mauve," from coal tar
The program ranged from various discussions of high school chemistry courses to popular demonstrations of chemical wonders, and dealt chiefly with lectures and demonstration of the University chemistry faculty.
Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, addressed the group at the opening session. Then came a lecture-demonstration by Dr. H. P. Cady on the uses and properties of liquid air Recipes for Roman cookery and the finer points if its seasoning were discussed by R. Q. Browster, professor of chemistry. Henry Werner, professor of chemistry demonstrated some of the techniques by which the purity of foods can be ascertained and a guillible public protected.
At noon, the group dired in the Memorial Union building and heard talks by Chancellor E. H. Lindsay of the School of Engineering, dean of the School of Engineering.
But those complications were the unexpected high spots of the play.
Parents
Hear Peggy
Of Flint Hills
Mrs. Lucy Travels 600
Miles To Attend; Mr.
and Mrs. Yeomans Have
Most Children Here
The particular problem in this case concerns one Katherine Drake (played by Virginia Marsch), an "intelligent" play player of playwright-husband Gordon's acquaintance, whose only invites her out or the weekend.
A generation ago, parents of college students worried about apes and aliens; today the chief cause is democracy and demagogues.
'Penny Wise' Keeps University Audience Both Contented and Busy
So spoke "Peggy of the Flim Hills," who addressed more than 250 parents and students last night at the University in the Memorial Union ballroom.
"Parents used to fear that in college, their children would become convinced that our ancestors were ape or would be converted to atheism by their professors," said Pengyu is Mrs. Wilard Greene of Topeka.
The former Kansas farm wife who has achieved national fame through her column in the Topica Daily Capital advocated a "memory machine" as the means to closer understanding between the kids and mom and dad. If parents could see themselves at the age of 19 or 20, she said they would be less apt to worry when their children leave for college.
Betty Neely was Penny, the little wife who managed to exclude unhappiness from her married life by being completely—and vigorously—"sweet and unsuspecting and generous." Evidently a really genuine point of view, but also very effective it the proper times.
But Penny's script doesn't include the entrance of Tina and Martha. These bright girls, just like the Drake, have known Gordon "in a business way." They have a surprising, jealous interest in stopping any possible affair leading to divorce. The rest of the course, Penny and Gordon go out together, and the rest of them stand and stare.
By Richard MacCann, c'40
The technique of comedy is a slippery business. The actor's action must hit the mark; the director must plan for a speedy, interesting pace that will not sacrifice clarity. The Wichita University production of "Penny Wise" Friday night in Fraser thunder was notable for the way Director George Wilmer succeeded in keeping the large, perspiring audience contented—and busy.
"Today parents' chief concern is whether the children will absorb undemocratic ideas or will be led astray by 'undermining' professors who seek to spread undemocratic principles," she said.
"The best way to protect our children against 'fantastic' new ideas is to give them contact with these ideas in the home."
Advocates Memory Machine And Peggy's advice was:
Awards will be presented and new officers installed at the annual Women's Athletic Association banquet, May 12. Mary Kay Lattner, c39, president, will have charge of arrangements. Margaret Van Cleave edu'el, has been appointed in charge of the program.

Awards To Be Given And Officers Installed At Annual Affair
Jean Ferguson Black has written some snappy lines for the two cooperating, bickering "guests." But it was Kathryn Lansdowne and Mary Elsie Reser, smoothly acid, who made those lines effective—these two apparently have a professional command of diction and inflection. And their teamwork is something to watch.
Miss Nelly made of Penny a glowing portrait. We, too, were made to "feel as if bit of her must be scattered all about the place." It was a character part perhaps more than even the experts realize.
George Balka was the lazy brother and had more than a few moments of well earned laughter. Stanley Schooler played the commissioner rather quietly, making his part believable.
The toughest tests of all fell to Stanley Diamond and Virginia Marsh. Gordon, the ladies' man must needs be somewhat bewildered over things and rant and rave at specified points. Katherine Drinkle must simply stand around being the intruder and also do a great deal of ponderous thinking aloud—a hideous situation. But these obstacles were surmounted with considerable success.
Attention to detail—and pace—gave the comedy its punch. No gesture was lost, and no upraised inflection went for naught. Along with a miserable smile, Miss Risser's self-interruption: "Or am I sort of overduring it?"
Red Cross life-saving tests will start tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 in the pool in Robinson gymnasium. Everyone interested is urged to apply at once, as this will be the last of tests until the latter part of June.
Herbert Alphin, instructor in physical education, has charge of the examinations, and will be assisted by several University students who are examiners. Twenty-four have already signed up for the tests.
Red Cross Life-Saving Tests Start Tomorrow
Alphin, in an article in the Swimming Pool Data and Reference Annual for 1938, entitled "Qualifying Standards for Life Guard," discusses the pay and working conditions of life guards, and stresses the necessity of merit, not pull, as a prime requisite for a life guard.
Elect Crafton Speech Head
Prof. Allen Crafton of the department of speech and dramatic are were elected chairman of the Kansas Theater Forum at the first annual convention on Saturday morning. Fifty-five delegates from 19 schools were in attendance.
Fifty-five Attend First Annual State Meeting of Theater Forum

"It was no pleasure for us to take it out," said A. C. Elson, head gardener, "but it was the only thing we could do."
In New Hedge The Old Lilacs Live On
Friends of the University agree with Mr. Elson that it was no pleasure to see uprooted the beautiful old lilie hedge which gave its name to Lilie lane. Anyone who has seen the building of lilies in bloom shares his feeling.
For several days last week workmen were bug removing the bushes with tractors, pulleys and spades. Marvin Suggested Hedge
The iliac hedge has a history almost as long as that of the University itself. When the University was establish in 1866, the Hill was entirely barren. Efforts were soon made to improve its appearance, and it was built in chapel one day made the suggestion that the iliac hedge be planted.
At that time two brothers, Forrest and Joseph Savage, lived near Lawrence. They were farmer-botanists, and were especially interested in beautifying the site. Joseph Savage was the agent through whom the Douglas County Horticultural Society bought the bushes in the spring

Engineers Will Exhibit An Unusual Collection Of Plastic Materials
Plastic Display Will Be Shown
The first collection of its kind ever assembled, an exhibit of plastic materials and new plastic products, will be shown for two weeks beginning May 6 by the department of mechanical and industrial engineering. This exhibit has been on public display in New York City at the showrooms of "Modern Plastics."
The exhibits to be shown typify the effectiveness of plastics in solving a long-felt problem. Radio manufacturers, and others as well, will be interested in a new radio fabricated of fiber material. This exemplifies a new manufacturing process by which a complete line of instruments can be marketed without a great amount of expensive tooling up, as the product is cast from liquid resins without pressure in very inexpensive molds, and the design is accomplished in a secondary operation when lines and shapes are introduced.
The display includes dishware of a molded material which solves the problems on non-inflammability, lightness, compactness, nesting qualities, non-fragility and style, for use on trailers, yachts and passenger planes; a steel mesh-lined leather messenger bag containing plastic panels that retain moisture, seized from the carrier, and after a delayed period produces a series of detonations and emits dense streams of yellow tracer smoke, thus attracting attention and aiding police pursuit; leases made of plastics comparing favorably with glass for correcting all phases of impaired vision Also included are an airplane windshield with specific gravity of 0.948, and yet of great strength, because it is formed from one sheet into a three-dimensional curve; a molded spoke gear representing an advanced step in the evolution of non-metallic gears for elimination of noise in the timing mechanism of high-speed motors; plastic jars in a cosmetic kit not only complementing the color and charm of the ensemble, but giving lightness in weight, shock-reduction and complete protection at operation.
The exhibit represents, principally the 29 prize winners in the Modern Plastics Competition sponsored by "Modern Plastics."
The Memorial committee of the Student Council has written to officers of former classes asking them to donate the remainder of their class funds to aid in finishing the Union building. So far, two classes have donated $400 and $34. Other responses are expected within the next few weeks.
