Peasant Girls of Czecho-Slovakia Are Still Wearing Traditional Costumes
In this day of rapid fashion changes, and of constant feminine demand for new clothes, it is surprising to learn that in some countries girls take pride in wearing the same clothes that their grandmothers and great-grandmother wore.
In Czecho-Slovakia the full skirts, the beautifully embroidered blouses, and the bright kerchiefs of half a century ago still appear in the rural districts on feast days, in dances, or on other festival occasions. One of these costumes from Trnova, which lies on the boundary between Moravia and Slovak, is featured in the Czecho-Slovakian exhibit on the third floor of the Administration building. It was brought here by Miss Rosemary Ketcham,头 of the department of design, and belongs to her private collection.
The costume is rare and extremely valuable because of the gold and silver embroidery with which it is decorated. The short, full skirt has a back of pleated green satin which flares out in the twirling dances, the front is covered by an apron of heavy black sateen edged with green embroidery, almost lace-like in its perfection. Many starched petticoats are worn beneath the skirt to make

That the garment has had many wearers, is proved by tucks which have been taken in it, and evidences that the seam has been let out. A brilliantly colored kerchief which resembles a bandana is always worn by the woman when she goes out into the field or on the street. Never does she appear in public bareheaded; it is considered improper.

Not only the women, but also the men wear embroidered garments. One can recognize the Slovak men when they

She manages to act by the skill of both her playing and her writing. Her material ranges from buoyant comedy to tragedy that is succinct and moving.
When, a few years ago, Miss Skinner began presenting her program of original character sketches, people thought of her as the daughter of Otis Skimmer, well known movie actor. But Miss Skinner has won honors on her own account and is now regarded by critics, not merely as a great actress in movies, but as an accomplished artist. She is the author of everything she presents.
Two summers ago, in the great hall at Knole Castle, Sevenakens, Kent, England. Miss Skwinner presented for the first time a new type of performance, entirely of her own devising, her own in everything. There, in the great hall where Henry VIII had held court, she recrered him and his wives. That program, "The Wives of Henry VIII," is now internationally famous.
Miss Skinner is said to be within her-
self a complete theater; she is the star
and the company, the stage crew, the
costume mistress, the plavlwright.
Club Gives Folk Dance
"Students will be admitted on stub number 16 of their activity tickets and the attraction will be a bonus on the lecture course series. Due to the fact that there is a greater increase in enrollment than was planned for this year, the University is able to arrange for Miss Skinner to perform here during her annual tour" said Raymond Nichols, secretary to the Chancellor; this morning.

Actual registration of students in the University of Kansas March 1, 1934, was 67 greater than on the corresponding date the year before.
Registrar George O. Foster today completed checking of students in residence, showing a total of 5157, against 3450 a year ago. Of the 5157, 2306 are men and 1211 are women. Only students who had paid all fees and were actually in residence are counted in the computations. New registrations for the spring semester this year numbered 316, compared with 273 last year.
The College of Liberal Arts showed a gain of 78 students, and Schools of Law, Pharmacy, Business, and Medicine also gained in enrollments. The Graduate School, School of Engineering and Architecture, School of Fine Arts, and School of Education showed losses. The greatest decrease was in the Graduate School, which is down about 14 per cent—a figure reported as general over the country, in a survey made by School and Society.
Withdrawals for all reasons, including completion of courses, lack of finances, or scholastic difficulties totalled 482 since September, against 532 withdrawals last year. This leaves the maximum number of withdrawals on Nov. 1 of last fall, compared with a usual difference of 250 to 300 between fall and spring semesters.

Easter Theme Will Pervade Laurel Anderson's Sunday Program
The last Vesper organ recital of the year will be given Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the University auditorium by Laurel Everette Anderson.
Mr. Anderson will be assisted by Miss Irene Peabody mezzopro-, who will sing the aria, "He Was Despired," from Handel's "Messiah." For the opening numbers there will be two traditional Hebrew melodies, "Tertuiti Noble" and "Passover Table." Both of these numbers are very ancient having connected with the life of Jesus Christ. The Passover Table is quite likely the one which Christ and His Disciples sang at their celebration of the Passover preceding the Crucifixion.
Mr. Anderson will also appear in Bach's "Choral Prelude" and in two numbers by Jangen and Karg-Elert.
Working Students' Group Elects 1934-35 Officers
Organization Will Promote Campaign to Create More Jobs
An election of officers for the coming year and an appointment to committees to work on future projects was held at the regular business meeting of the Self-Supporting Students association last evening in the Administration building.
Preceding the election of officers, a general discussion was conducted by the president in regard to the addition of two more offices besides the three of president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer. It was decided that the addition of one new office, chairman of committee of information, to handle the publication of announcements and other publicity, to confer with the business men in an effort for further co-operation, and to dispose of other details of the association and that by placing the executive power for the promotion of social events in the hands of the vice-president, the over burdening of the president would be eliminated in the future.
The following officers were elected:
Dorothy Johnston, c35, president; C. W.
Sternberg, c35, vice president; Florene
Briscoe, c36, secretary-treasurer; and
L Wray Choate, c35, chairman of
committee of information.
Further business conducted by the new president included a tentative discussion of future projects to be developed in the coming year.
A committee of two, Berhardt Litke e'37, and Fred Epp, e'34, was appointed to work in conjunction with the president and Dean Werner on a co-operative manufacturing plan for next fall. The plan is to utilize a room in the Union building by putting several of those students who fail to find a place in which such can be sold during football games and at Christmas vacation.
A second executive committee of two, Ralph Dum, e^36, and Eldon Carter, e^38, was appointed to conduct and promote a start to have more jokes available in the fall.
Such a surprising amount of on- enthusiasm was evidenced at the party held last Saturday night that tenuitive people gave a similar penchant sometimes in April.
The next regular business meeting will be April 27, subject to change by the president because of a possible conflict.

EIGHT ATHLETES TO PARTICIPATE IN BUTLER MEET
Runners and Field Contestants to Join Cunningham and Hall in Indianapolis Relay Carnival
DEES WILL PUT SHOT
Coffman and White in Pole Vault; Beach, Schroeder, and Graves Entered
Six Jiahawkwer trackmen left yesterday for Indianapolis where they will join Cunningham and Ed Hall to compete in the Butler Relays Saturday night.
Clyde Coffman, Ormond Beach, Elimin Dees, and Theno Graves, accompanied by Adrian Lindsey, football coach, left in an automobile. Bob White and Bob Schroeder went by train to Kansas City where they were met by Carlyle Tavares who decided to continue the trip. They were expected to arrive in Indianapolis tonight.
Cunningham, Hall and Coach H. W. Hargis are going to Indianapolis from Hamilton, Canada, where the two runners competed in the Canadian championships Wednesday. Cunningham won the 1000 meters race and set a new Canadian record at 2:12.2 one-fifth of a second, placed third behind Pearson of Canada and Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette in both the 40 and the 60-vardahca.
Cunningham will be entered in the mile and the mile relay tomorrow, Hall will run in the 80-yard dash and the mile relay. Does and Beach will toss the shot, and Coffman and White will take part in the pole vault. Schreeder and Graves are the other members of the mile relay team.
No outstanding milers have been announced as competitors for the Kansas champion, who is a top heavy favorite to win the event. If he breaks a record he will probably do so by running his own race entirely.
After setting the world's mark for the indoor mile at 408.4 recently he expressed the belief that he could cover the distance in 4.06. Cunningham may try to accomplish that feat tomorrow.
The Butler race will be the Jay-hawker's last collegiate indoor mile race, but he will run in a mile relay at Tuba, on March 13. He has also been entered in a meet at Norman on April 7, in which he will again run the 1000 meters. The distance to the competition may be limited even in the outdoor meets, since Bill Boutonh, Princeton flash, declined an invitation to enter the Kansas Relays here on April 21 when a special mile feature for the two runners would have been scheduled.
Pageant to Honor Students
Bess Doty and Barbara Pendleton to Receive Girl Scout Awards

Two hundred Girl Scouts will take part in the pageant.
This is the first time in the history of the organization in Lawrence that this award has been given to any member. The Girl Scouts are carrying out a drive to raise funds for the summer's activities. The awards will be given by Miss Mildred Quall, director of the Covered Wagon region.
Miss Doty is a member of Kappa Phi, Methodist sorority, W.A.W.A., Tau Sigma, daning sorority, and Quint club. Miss Pendleton is the newly elected secretary of the W.Y.C.W.A., a member of the W.A.W.A., vice president of the freshman commission, and a member of the Le Cere Francais. Other Golden Eagles attending the University are Dorothy Taylor, c34, and Betty Bell Moore, ed34. Both new Eagles did all their work in Lawrence.
