THE NEGRO AND THE PLAY
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22,1931
The names of the five plays which the Kansas Players and the Dramatic Club will produce in the ensuing school year have been announced. We note with dismay the absence of a production to be staged by an all-New York theater.
you intubate a knob.
The low scholastic rating among the Negroes in last spring forced a revue which had been laboriously prepared to be thrown aside. Hastily, a production was staged by the Dramatic Club to fill the gap brought by low grades. A University ruling hars students from extra-curricular participation unless the grade requirement is met.
A forceful lesson should have been brought home to the Negro students by that incident. A certain amount of respect for the entire colored student population was lost because of the scholastic negligence of a few. Although the actors were the ones who were barred, every Negro student on the campus is apt to be regarded as one who can play a part but who cannot algebra or some other subject.
Of course, the many examples of brilliance and marked ability among Negroes dispel the idea of a wholly unintelligent race. But records of achievement, no matter how great, are shoved from the footlights whenever a degrading incident is brought forward. This is especially true of minority groups. It is human nature to make a midtet cloud a giant good.
But if the scholarship of those Negro actors is improved this year, surely the success of last year will not overrule the success of the drama put on before last year. Mr. Craffon may make room for a Negro production, but he cannot put himself in such a precious position unless he is assured that the colored talented students will come up to the University requirement.
Not only for the sake of regaining the respect last last year, but for the privilege of learning dramatic technique from the able Mr. Crafton, the Negro students should strive to be able to participate in dramatic productions. The theatre-going public will appreciate another performance as good as "Come Seven."
RELIEF NEEDED
The depression is on us, but the student athletic book, which admits to all University athletic contests, has not felt its effects. Its price of ten dollars is a fair one in normal times, and represents a great saving over the individual price of admission if purchased singly. But this year the pinch of necessity is generally felt among the students and it seems reasonable to suppose that a reduction in the price of the athletic book would be not only greatly appreciated, but also opportunity. Students are expected, as a matter of school loyalty, to support the athletic teams of the University. But in a great majority of the cases curtailed budgets cannot stand the expense of such high prized loyalty as is represented in the purchase of an athletic book.
Other colleges and universities in the Middle-West have reduced the price of their athletic books, hoping in this way to uphold the attendance at various contests. Would it not be possible for the University of Kansas to do the same?
AIMEE IN THE NEWS AGAIN
There is a newspaper saying that when a dog bites a man, the item rates only superficial interest, but when a man bites a dog, it is new. Ladies and gentlemen, a man has Bitten a dog, or in plainer language Amea has crushed
the headlines again, this time with a 220-pound husband.
And what a spain! After a some-wathed sedate and quiet year spent in furthering the causes of the Four-Square Gospel and incidentally widening the breach between herself and her well-known mother, the redoubtable "Ma" Kennedy, Aimee is herself again. "Ma" must have been crowding the feature list a bit too close, especially after her late rapid marriage and annulment. Now Aimee beams on the world from the surface of the talking screen and gurgles apostolically that she is utterly and deliciously happy—a really notable state of mind for a ministress.
Out in Los Angeles, where the Angelus Temple stands as a memorial to the titan-haired Mrs. Hutton, former McPherson, the talk must certainly be seething around with the tale of the lady's escapes and adventures. Here in staid Lawrence the reverberations seem a bit weak, and Aimee's trials and tribulations and Carmel-by-the-sea kidnapping are rather Elmer Gantry-atic.
The Pacific coast evangelist has observed practically all the rules of the circus showman in her grotesque utterances and many manifestation of religion to the common man. She has built him a temple—albeit with his money—of which he is proud. Mrs. Hutton has played on his sympathy with the touch of the true artist. She has been condemned for him, maligned for him, prosecuted for him and has borne it bravely and with aploms. She culminated a jauce to the sea with a trip to Palestine and sent the news ringing from far off Indo-China, or thereabouts, of her daughter's marriage. Almee returned to find an embattled parent in her seat of power at the Temple and by a series of moves worthy of an eminent strategist regained her position and then solidified it--by her marriage to the weighty gentleman who conducts the song service for the common man.
Well–perhaps it is good that Aimee is happy, delicious so. One is glad the depression has been the proud father of happiness to some child of destiny. The old man has been pretty disagreeable to most of us. But whichever way you choose to look at it, in spite of our better judgment and to our great amusement, Aimee has once again come back. Aimee is in the news again.
OUR GOAT PASTURE
An insurance organization held a picnic in Marvin grove yesterday. Monday morning, students coming to the campus beautiful were apprised of that fact by the legend on a square sign nailed to a tree, reading: "A. O. U. W. picnic. Welcome." Over in the newly mown grove, remains of the picnic are very much apparent. The long, shabby tables were still there; pieces of brown wrapping paper and other rubbish were strewn about; and last night the wind had finished the job of decorating the place like a goat pasture. The University extended hospitality to the organization in permitting the use of the grove, and the courtesy should have been returned by at least cleaning up. If this had been done Sunday evening, the work could have been completed in an hour. Now, since the wind and rain have come, it will take half a day, and because of the scattering of the watersoaked fragments of paper, it is unlikely that a thorough job will be made of it.
Meanwhile, the greeting sign hangs on the tree: "A. O. U. W. picnic, Welcome."
A CHEWING GUM DEPRESSION
It was only a passing fancy after all. Time after time, persons with Emily Post as an author and delicate nasal senses as reminders have forced upon us the issue of gum chewing. It was described as an inlegible practice; gum, like toothbrushes, they said, was to be used only in the privacy of one's boudor.
A CHEWING GUM DEPRESSION
Year after year the reformers tried to put a stop to the practice, and year after year it increased in volume. Then came the depression, and even the chewing gum manufacturers suffered. Perhaps it was from over-production, though there might have been other causes. At any rate, as a final step, the gum manufacturers were requested to chew up every third package. But, like the proposed cotton relief, it did no good.

to help relieve the situation. From approximately one thousand students who attended the Chancellor's reception last Friday night, only two or three were observed chewing gum. The manufacturers seemed doomed to a long, cold winter. Teeth will yellow with no Denytone to keep them white, and there will be no sparmint to help digest the food.
Owing to the depression, the fine art of gum chewing is about to disappear. Our sympathy is extended to those engaged in the manufacture of the commodity, and our sincere congratulations to those who will never again insult our aesthetic senses.

"Al right," he said, "you win. I'll take the thing."
"Fine, fine," the clerk exulted. "You'll never regret that purchase. Its a good buy!"
Washington,— Due to the continued absence of icecorms in the North Atrium, Mojave and Pontchinatrain have been withdrawn from the international ice patrol work for the season. The Genesee River off Newfoundland, to the north of the steamer lanes, will proceed up the river to the northwestern island, to the northward of the entrance to the Hudson Strait, making a scientific study of oceanographic contours.
"Yeah," muttered the retreating customer, "Good by quarter!"
NORTH ATLANTIC ICE PATROL DISCONTINUES FOR SEASON
The present year has set an all-time low record of icebergs. It is a record not only for the number of icebergs because to date not a single iceberg has been seen on the steamer lanes nor anywhere near them. In ordinary conditions, and in bad years hundreds of them.
Ottawa—Ottawa's civic week, conducted under the general direction of the city council, will take place evening with an educational talk by Captain Nisha Bournault, M. H. Forester pre-teen.

Washington. The surmim toad, a rare and most curious species that carries its eggs and young in pockets on its back, is the national animal of William M. Wana, director of the U.S. National Zoological Park, who left on July 22 for an expedition into British Guiana. There are many other animals that inhabit this park, but his heart is specially set on getting a collection of these interesting toads for the new reptile house in the Washington city, the newest and finest showplace for cold blooded animals in America.
The Suriran toad shares its peculiar form of maternal solicitude with the kangaroo, a mammal, rated much higher than the frog, which differs from the kangaroo, however, in carrying its offspring on its back instead of in an abdominal pouch. Dr. Mann stated that though he has had good hopes of getting at least one, and with luck may bring back half a dozen or more. He expects also to bring back four more. The kangaroo's natals not yet represented in the national zoological park collection.
