Audiences Pleases Staff "I am very well satisfied with the way ticket sales went," said Tonn. "I am only sorry that some people who curried away for lack of seating room. The production staff of "Elizabeth the Queen" was enthusiastic at the way in which the audience received Maxwell Anderson's historical drama on the four nights it was given. Plays Don't Just 'Happen' "The audience plays an important part in any production," said Director Rolla Nuckles, instructor in the speech department. "I believe that our audiences have come to expect not only first-class plays, but first-class movies." Elizabeth the Queen" all that makes for a good show. I believe that not offly the acting, but the music, costumes, scenery, lighting, and all those additional things went far to make the play a success. "To be able to say why a play is or is not successful is one of the most difficult things in the theater. So many people believe that a play just 'happens', which is very far from the truth. It takes weeks of intensive work. The greatest challenge is to sit out in the audience each night and watch with interest each scene as it happened." "I liked the way in which the audience responded," said Prof. Alen Crafton, head of the speech department, who was in charge of scenery and general backstage production of the play. "I believe that the play was a success in every way." When asked what the next play starting Feb. 14, would be, Professor Craffon said that "allthough we are not really a playwright, we be a wild comedy of some sort."

Preparation of oil should come before the wells are drilled, rather than through an effort to limit production after the wells are brought in, according to a statement by Prof. Eugene A. Stephenson, chairman of the department of petroleum engineering at the University, in an address Saturday afternoon before a regional meeting of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers at Wichita, the Stephenson School, on the U.S.-Missouri School of Mines last September to organize the new petroleum engineering department, spoke on "Problems of the Petroleum Industry," and led the discussion which followed. Discusses Oil Proration Prof. E. A. Stephenson Lists Ills in Present Oil Production Approach Has Been Wrong "We have been approaching the subject of procration from the wrong angle," said Professor Stephenson. "We have permitted, even encouraged the drilling of wells, and then seek to limit the production of these wells. Far better it would be to devise some plan to prevent the great expenditures for drilling, sorbe of which proves useless." Professor Stephenson went on to say that the present system of pro-ration agravated instead of relieving another problem of the oil field, and that is the disposal of brine and other oil field wastes. "The present proration plan en- courages a producer to press for the highest possible production at times that 'potential' tests are being run, and that the water's face added quantities of salt water." Disposal Problem Discussed Professor Stephenson discussed also the problem of disposal of brine, and suggested greater co-operation among producers. He said that the problem is probably greater in Kansas than in some other states because there has been less legislation on the subject, and less co-operation among the producers. Professor Stephenson for the past five years have been secretary of the petroleum division of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. He will be one of the 22 players, selected from west of the Mississippi, to report for practice on Dec 20.

The collector would hand his missives of fate to the editor, who would turn them over to the faces and casually hand them across the table to his secretary. Dorothy would read them as did the editor but her face would be without the smile of the "ed" when she discovered that The processional, "O Come All Ye Faithful," will be sung by the University Vesper Choir and directed by Todd Kline, dean of the School of Fine Arts.

Jayhawkers Win To Stay Undefeated Scrappy Ottawa Team Gives Battle in 41 to 35 Defeat; Corlis and Florell Stand Out Florell Is Outstanding The Kansas Jayhawkers maintained their undefended standing by a narrow margin at Ottawa Friday night when they came out on the long end of a 41 to 35 score over a scrapy Ottawa University five that looked not at all the same team that played here earlier in the week. The game was fast and rough throughout, with Loren Holmes (26) and teammates in Topokla High School, coming through with shots in the pinches to keep Kansas out in front. Corlis, displaying the best ball of his career, led the scoring with five field goals and four free throws for a total of 14 points, in addition to playing an outstanding floor game. Florel captured the spectator with his long, looping shots that swished the net, hardly touching the ring. Four long shots and a tibia-in-heel throw, gave him second high scoring honors with a total of 11 points. Kansas jumped off to an early lead, but at no time during the first half was the margin greater than six points. At one time mid-way in the period the Browns crept up on the field goals and free throws by Florell and Corlis made the half-time score 19 to 14. At the first of the second period the Kansas team came back with a smooth passing game that gave them a great edge in floorwork, but Ottawa fight and accurate shooting on the part of Swetnam and Morgan kept the score close. At one time in the second half, Kansas commanded a 9-point lead, which was slowly whitched down until with less than an hour to go, they were 38 to 35. A free throw by Schmidt and a goal ball for Corys in the last minute of play made the final count 41 to 35. Sophomores Deserve Credit Coach F. C. Allen expressed dissatisfaction with his team's play as a whole, although he was pleased with the way the sophomores performed. As Allen expressed it, the team had a poor record of Coris, played very rugged basketball, and it was the sophomores who came through. first-year men in addition to Florrell who deserve mention are Bruce Reid, who, making his first varsity appearance, played a cool game and demonstrated an exceptional passing ability; Dick Harp, who played a goat, part of the game at guard; and Dong Ebeling, brother of Ray Ebling, former all-American basketballer.
