UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
This summer, the University must replace at least 16 members of the faculty who have been lost to us by death, retirement, or resignation. Other instructors should be added to the staff, for the program of rigid economy which has been followed since 1931 has forced instructors to carry heavier loads, and classes have become larger, with a consequent depreciation in the quality of instruction.
How can we replace these men and women when "the salary scale at the University of Kansas is the lowest among state universities in the middle west?" At other schools, appropriations are being increased, salary cuts are being restored. Kansas will never replace the faculty members lost to us with instructors of the same calibre unless we can compete with the salary scale offered by other universities and colleges.

Proposed Union Needs Approval Of Organizations
A tentative basis for the proposed "United Front" was drawn up at a meeting yesterday evening of the 12 representatives from the four organizations concerned. Move-Action Union, United Front, United Union YWCA, and X.M.C.A.
Before this constitution can go into force it must first be approved by each of these organizations. The A.S.U. considered it at its meeting last night; the Y.M.C.A. will decide on it at its cabinet meeting this afternoon and the Y.W.C.A. will also discuss it at its meeting this afternoon.
The constitution, which embodies those purposes in each organization which are identical, will not be published until the organization's final form and accepted. The "superstructure" organization is still far from being a reality there is considerable dissonance between the ideas and ideals of these organizations.
The original impetus for the creation of this plan was the need felt by many individuals for several of these groups to unite in sponsoring various movements instead of doing so up a long way. In addition, the groups mentioned have expressed their willingness to consider the proposition.

A distinctly Oriental atmosphere pervaded Froster theater yesterday afternoon and last night, when two large audiences entranced by the role of the Rod Gate Shadow Players, America's only exponents of an ancient Chinese theatrical art.
Three Persons Comprise Personnel Of Chinese Red Gate Shadow Players
Three persons make up the company, Miss Pauline Benton and Lee Ruttle, who operate the shadow figures, and William Russell musician who plays more than a dozen instruments during the performances.
The factional lineup tonight stood; 31 pledged, and 18 inclined toward the President's plan, a total of 49, a bare majority; 33 pledged and 9 inclined against it, a total of 42; still uncommitted.

studies for the race.
Yesterday's grade production was particularly for Lawrence grade school students, but proved to be thoroughly entertaining to a number of University students and adults who attended also. It was in four parts: "A Street in China"; "Why Dog Chase Chase"; Gay; a Chinese Plate; and "The Legend of the Willow Plate."
Miss Benton began making her collection of shadow figures some time before she organized the company. These figures are made of donkey-skin parchment, colored with translucent dyes. They vary in length from six or eight inches to more than a foot. When held against a silk screen, the shadows they cast brilliantly colored shadows on the screen. Light is provided by flood lights behind the screen.
Miss Benton organized the Ree Gate Shadow players six years ago, and Mr. Ruttle has been associates with her since the beginning of the company. Mr. Russell joined them four years ago, and they are now in the west coast this month, and they will show in that part of the country during April and May. They plan to add several native Chinese to their company when they reach China, include incarnate and shadow figure operators.

The performance last night included "The Burning of the Bamboo Grove," a typical Chinese military play, based on the founding of the Sung dynasty; "The Cowherd and the Weaving Maid," a legend of the stars, and a sword dance from "The White Snake," a Buddhist
Operators' Job Is Intricate
The art of the shadow figure operator is a difficult and exacting one, as Miss Benton and Mr. Ruttle demonstrated it to curious members of the audience after performances. The operator's task is to screen by wires with reed handles. Most of the figures have three wires to facilitate operation of the body and arms. The operators frequently

must handle two such figures at the same time, in addition to speaking for the figures. This latter task calls for constant changing of inflection and tone to distinguish between the voices of various characters.
The effect of this intricate device from the audience, is that of a large Chinese picture in action. The figures are designed in embellished bronze, and is familiar to Americans in bronze pieces, wall screens, and so forth. The Red Gate company's collection includes hundreds of figures, each of which represents many days of labor by artists in cutting and coloring.

Seated in comparative darkness behind the floodlights, he has the not easy job of providing musical effects in perfect synchronization with the movements of the figures. Nassau Cicero makes up his equipment. These are arranged about him so that he can lay down one and pick up another without a second's delay. The music he provides with stringed instruments, flutes and bassoon plays, gives the effect of a complete orchestra.
Is. One-Man Orchestra
Mr. Russell has studied his art under Chinese musicians in New York, and frequently adds more instruments to his collection. His demonstration of these instruments before the performances began provided an absorbing feature of the entertainment.
Miss Benton worked with foreign students in New York before organizing the Red Gate Shadow Players. Demonstrations with her collection of shadow figures before performing as a company as it operates now. Mr. Ruttle, who adapts manuscripts and directs the performances, was a member of the original Provinctown Theater. He has made an intensive study of the Chinese theater play during his time with Miss Benton and Mr. Russell.
Entertained the presidents
The Red Gate Shadow Players find their most authentic audience colleges and university towns, but their performances are not confined to such settings. Last Christmas they entertained President Roosevelt and his family at the White House, and two weeks ago they played before the governor-general of the United Nations Nassau. They came here from Emperia.

Ames, Iowa, March 3—(UP) —The University of Nebraska basketball team assured itself of at least a tie for the Big Six basketball title here tonight by winning from the Iowa State Cyclones 48 to 31.
They will be forced to share the title with Kansas if the Jayhawks beat the Missouri Tigers tomorrow night, otherwise their title will be clear. The Cornhuskers have not won a conference title since 1916.
Twice before in conference history has the basketball season ended in a tie. In 1912, Kansas won the southern division championship, and Nebraska the northern championship. There was no play-off that year, and the records show the tie for the championship.
Again in 1922, when Craig Ruby was basketball coach for Missouri, Kansas and Missouri played to a tie. In a 16-game series, each lost once to the other, to mar an otherwise perfect season.
Iowa State start off with a rush Fleming, Cyclone forward, collected nine points in the first seven minutes of play.

Orchestra Leader Wants "Two and Three If Possible"
There is a deep bond of affection between Weeks and the members of his orchestra. Most of them have been with him since he made his debut 10 years ago at the Senator hotel in Sacramento. He credits the rise of his orchestra to his well trained musicians.
In Anson Weeks' orchestra first consideration is given to rhythm, the backbone of dance music, and all his orchestrations are built upon it.
Weeks played his first long engagement at the Hotel Mark Hopkins in San Francisco, where he stayed for three years. During this time, he became very popular among students of the west coast as a student and by college pop organizations to furnish music at their pep rallies.
