Many Guests To Attend
Co-ed Secrets Are Revealed In Coming Play
By Shirley Jean Smith, cunel.
Have you "Ladies of the Lipstick"
ever wondered how to get your
mum? Is there a Joe College on any
campus that hasn't wondered what
women are all about?
The answer to both questions can be found in Philip Barry's "Spring Dance," the Dramatic Club production to be presented in Fraser theater Feb. 15 to 18, inclusive. Tickets for the play will be on sale Thursday at the ticket office in the basement of Green hall.
Although the men of the play believe that "marriage is an obsolete institution," the damsels are not the ones in distress when they set out to escape. They are wrong in thinking that "Love is useful only as a window display."
Prof. Allen Crafton of the speech and dramatic arts department, not only ably directs the production, but amuses the cast with his wit and ability. Yesterday afternoon at play practice he donned a pointer's white-billed cap to move scenery, and the next moment dashed on stage to express prinly the lines of a suspicious housemother. No, he is not in the play, but was merely substituting for a missing actress.
At present one of his biggest problems is that of producing in an imaginary room off-stage the sound of running water loud enough for the audience to be able to hear it. He also admits that a pair of dancers might sit on a chair or space time lying on the twin beds, used in one of the scenes, would help.
The entire east cast to Kansas City last night to see the production "King Richard II."

'The Greatest Personality in Ballet Will Perform for Students Monday
Massine began his ballet career at the 8 age of 16, when Diaghileff, famous European ballet producer, singled him out as he carried a large platter across a crowded stage in a drama at the Maly Theater in Moscow. He was presented in his ballet "The King of Ballet Strauss" "The Legend of Joseph" at the Paris Grand opera house in 1914.

Coming to the University next Monday as maître de ballet and artist collaborator of the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe, is an artista billed as "the greatest personality in ballet today"—Leonide Massine.
Since the World War, durin which he was in Italy studying art, Massine has been engaged actively in the development of the Russian ballet. His later works have been featured by the use of symphonic
His ability as a dancer is shown by the position he fills with the Ballet Russe company. That he is outstanding as a creator is seen in the ballet *Ballets* in the repertoire of the Monte Carlo group of his invention.
The authority for this statement is none other than the eminent ballet critic, Irving Deskin, who called her "the most unrivaled stylist of our time."
Ice-Breaker To Arctic Rescue
Washington, Feb. 7. —(UP) -Senator Wm. H. King (Durham, Utah) today introduced a bill in the senate for repeal of the 1935 neutrality act which, he said, "serves the purpose of aggressor nations but is disadvantageous to small and weak countries."
It was presumed that preparation was made to speed up rescue efforts after all radio communication broke down, indicating that the marooned scientists may be attempting to find their way across the ice in an effort to reach the coast of Greenland, 50 miles distant.
Moscow, Feb. 7 (Tuesday)—(UP)
The Soviet government, mobilizing all available forges to rescue four Russian scientists trapped on a crumbling foe in southern Arctic waters, planned today to utilize its most powerful ice breaker and possibly a dirigible.
The measure, deemed indicative of rising opposition to President Roosevelt's foreign policy, was dropped into the legislative hopper shortly after Senator Henry Johnson (Rep. Calif.) offered a resolution to force Secretary of State Cordell Holl to reveal whether the United States contemplates foreign alliances or understandings.
Johnson proposed his bill while Admiral William D. Leahy, chief of naval operations, was denying before the house naval affairs committee that the administration has foreign commitments of any kind, chiefly for $f$ joint armed action in case of war.
Would Repeal Neutrality Act A c t Serves Aggressor Nations But Not Small Ones Says Senator
The following men have been selected to head the various groups in preparation for the Engineering Exposition to be held during the spring semester. "Railway," Sterling Polson Foley, c.38; "Farmland," Forcich, c.38; "Structural," Arthur Latham, c.38; "Satan," Norwin Souder, c.38; and "Hydraulics," Fleming Scofield, c.38, and Reamy Fitch, e.sp.
Engineering School Prepares Exposition
"To say I love you in pantomime," Massine explains, "has been ridiculous. It is more interesting to have the meaning of the dialogue translated into movement, than imitated by simple gesture."
Massine has twice been co-production, with Leopold Stowickowi, of successful ballets while continuing her work in a distinguished place among ballet artists.
"Inside Nazi Germany," the current March of Time feature being presented at the Granada theater, has invoked considerable comment among those who have viewed this book by the workings of Hitler's Nazi program.
The film, which attracted attention when it was banned by the municipal censors of Chicago only to be shown after a legal battle, is being shown in Kansas without censorship. Several states have banned the attraction, which was rumored to have been smuggled out of Germany.
Faculty members of the department of political science have been invited to view the film and several such classes in the elementary and high schools have attended it to gain insight into the study of Nazi Germany.
The film portrays simply and vividly how Hitler's program is being carried out by propaganda agents. Most interesting to Americans is the portrayal of the German-American Bund movement in the United States. Twenty-five camps similar to those used to train the youth of Germany have been established over the United States, and have grown to large organizations of Nazi sympathizers.
Nazis Quarantine Churchmen
He demanded, before five black-robed special judges who wore the Nazi swastika on their breasts and opened court with the prescribed order, to disarm the porters, crowding the corridors outside, be permitted in the court room.
Berlin, Feb. 7- (UP)—Nazi secret police clamped a "quarantine" on confessional Protestant church officials throughout Germany today after the Rev. Martin Niemeyer, brought to trial before a zeeret court in New York, over the proceedings by shouting demands for a public hearing.
Judges made quick work of the request and ordered all out of the hage court room who had no official business there.
Immediately afterward the Gestapo (secret police) of Heinrich Hammer ordered the "quarantine" of Neimoeler's colleagues.
Members of the confessionalist "provisional cabinet" who are in Berlin were forbidden to leave the city, while members in the province were ordered to remain where they are.
Japan Reports Chinese Army Revolt
Shanghai, Feb. 7 (Tuesday).—(UP) The Japanese Domei news agency today said in a dispatch from Hong Kong t th at t Hang-Fang, commander of the Chinese “peace preservation” corps at Samsui, 35 miles west of Canton, had revoltled, throwing the town into an uprush.
The agency said that acute tension also prevailed in Shihung, 50 miles west of Canton, after Chinese army troops blockaded the river.
Chinese authority at Canton denied the reports.
Eden Hints British Blockade
London, Feb. 7. - (UP) - Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden intenated strongly in the House of Commons today that the British navy is prepared to seize Spanish insurgent ships or blockade the Balearic islands unless pirate attacks on neutral ships cease immediately.
Naval sources revealed that the virtual naval blockade of the insurgent island of Majeora already has been put into effect with British and French warships, part of a fleet of 70, cruising just beyond Spanish territorial waters alert for the departure of pirate submarines.
The foreign secretary, disclosing that wartime conditions prevail off the coast of war-torn Spain, announced that a formidable fleet of British warships engaged in the new 'anti-piracy' patrol is under orders to sink on sight all submerged subs along the crowded trade routes.
The orders to the British fleet apply only to the zone assigned to Great Britain in the patrol, but the order to the British fleet was scribed to the "shoot to sink" policy.
Inurgent Generalissimo Francisco Franco has been formally warned, Eden said, that Britain will not "not tolerate" submerged mariners in the British zone. A similar note was sent to the Spanish Loyalist government.
Kansas State Gives Jayhawkers a Scare
Frank Root's Wildcats Come Close To Repeating Last Year's Upset; Kansas Employs Stalling Tactics and Manages To Survive Opponent's Last Minute Rally To Win, 35-33
Kansas State College threw a real scare at Kansas hopes for a Big Six title last night but the Jayhawks squeezed through with a 35 to 33 victory in Hoch auditorium to remain at the heels of Oklahoma's first place Sooner. Kansas lead 24 to 18 at halftime.
By Harry Hill, c'40
The Jayhawkers employed stalling tactics to protect a twopoint lead during a wild last minute and staved off a spirited Wildcat rally.
Numbers on Call Board Direct Freshman Engineers
A red button below their number means that the chief adviser, Prof. George J. Hood, wishes to see that person at the earliest opportunity, and a blue button means that the chief adviser wishes to see that student under whose number the button appears. The board is reset every evening.
Independents Postpone Hour Dance
Coach "Phog" Allen's cagers definitely had an off-night, and were impressive only for their ragged play. A crowd of 2116 attended.
A scheme has been worked out in the School of Engineering and Architecture whereby the freshman students in that school are expected to look at their particular number on a call-board which has been constructed on the bulletin board, every time they enter Marvin hall.
The hour dance sponsored by the Independent Students Union, which was scheduled for Thursday night from 7 to 8 o'clock, has been postponed, according to an announcement. The woman was to be admitted to the dance unless asked, and cutting was to be in the power of the women only.
Sigma Chi Reports Burglary
Sigma Chi fraternity yesterday reported to Henry Werner, men's student adviser, the loss of $27 in a burglar Sunday evening.
Victims of the theft were: William Johnson, c'unel; $19; and John Beert. c'41.$8.
The Sigma Chi theft is the second fraternity house burglary of this semester. Last Wednesday night members of Phi Delta Theta lost $55 in cash and wrist watches valued at $55 to an unknown marauder.
The burglar is believed to have entered the house by the front door which was unlocked, it was said.
Burglaries the first semester totaling more than $2,000 were climaxed in the arrest and confession of four persons Dec. 16.
Practice Begins On Student Show
Rehearsal for "Spring Swing,
Sigma Delta Chi musical revue, will begin tomorrow at 4 o'clock in the Union ballroom, it was announced yesterday by James Coleman, c38,
producer.
The opening chorus number,
'Swing in Spring,' will be rehearsed under Jayne Coats, c'39, and Catherine Dunkel, ed'38, dance directors for the production. Music and lyrics for this number were written by Bill Miaissner, c'38, Doug Tarbet, fa40, and Lewis Capeland, fa40, who composed most of the music for the play.
Students Lose Clothes To House Breakers
Bill Askren, 139, and Keith Start, csp, were robbed of four suits, a pair of trousers, and a radio when their room at 1088 Maine street was broken into sometime Sunday evening. Entrance into the house was gained through a rear door which had been left unlocked.
NOTICE
Any seniors interested in photography from the industrial point of view should leave their names at the School of Business, room 114 Frank Strong hall, for interviews.
FEE DEADLINE TOMORROW
Tomorrow is the deadline for the payment of fees. Beginning Thursday morning a fine of 50 cents a day for five days, excludes meals if forfeited. If fees are not paid by Feb. 15, enrolments of the delinquent ones will be cancelled.

But State was not to be downed so easily. Burns hit from close in and Wesche made good a free throw to bring the Wildcat total to 31. Then as the game neared the final minute, Reid, Wildcat substitute forward, bagged his third goal field of the second half and slashed the Kansas lead to two points. Whereupon the Jayhawkers stalled away the closing seconds and Wildcat shot shots were wide of the basket.
Fred Praile, veteran Kansas guard,
led the scoring with six baskets and
two free tosses for 14 points. Sophomore Don Ebble counted nine
bars in the rounse-up position.
Burns paced the Wildcats with eight markers.
