MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1930 COME SEVEN Tonight "Come Seven" will be presented for the first time. This is the first student production to be given on the Hill by an all-negro cast. It is decidedly experimental, but it is also decidedly promising. The entire play is a comedy, portraying negroes in the far South. When it was first discussed there was some fear that it would give a false impression. But this is no more true than that a comedy of the white race would give a false impression. It will convey some of the wholeseam fun of a fun-loving race, and bring to the campus something new in the way of entertainment. JUST A KISS With the press filled with accounts of divorces, family scandals and other things of a like nature we see the headline—Wants Another Byrd Kiss But our famous explorer is still above reconnaît an far as secundal goes. The girl wanting the kiss is a little three year old tot, a niece of one of the men in Byrd's polar expedition. May she not be disappointed. PLAY BALL If all goes well President Hoover opens the baseball season today by throwing out the first ball for the game between the Washington Senators and the Boston Red Sox of the American League. Tomorrow the season generally opens over the country with the majority of the larger league teams swinging into action. It is predicted that the Boston team will end in the eclair position and the Senators will be one notch above them. The Mets are a final average of the American league. Rather a queer situation, having two of the predicted poorest teams open the season with all the color of the national capital thrown in to add gusto to the event. But everybody likes baseball; it is our national pastime; and it is right that the season's opener of the baseball should be in Washington. RAIN Rain, and with it a chance for the crops and with that a chance for more students to come to the University next fall. For much of the attendance depends on a successful crop for next year's tuition. The crops have been in danger for some time now, and the week-and showers were indeed blessings. According to reports, several places in the state had real honest-to-goodness rains. This was the first rain in five months for some towns, and the first since last July for others. But the long period of dust has been broken and the crops have a fighting chance to live. If the crops survive, so will the farmer's pocketbook and so will the University enrolment. ARREST GANDHI? Gandhi's arrest is expected almost any time now. The act which will probably hasten this is the throwing into the sea of an effigy labeled "malt tax" — a bloody monster annihilating struggling creature labels "Indian". This seems comparable to the sea party our ancestors held in Boston once upon a time. India's saint may be arrested. He will probably be made a martyr for the cause of India's freedom, but we do not believe it will be in vain, Gandhi has made a desperate move. All of India's suppressed rebellion is due to break loose, and Gandhi led his people to ask for their rights. He had the courage to tell the British government what he thinks. Now it will probably tell him--every forcefully--what it thinks of him. But whether it does or not, he has started a movement which will not be stopped until the people of India are heard. RECORDS What records will fall at the Kansas Relay this year? Attendance records will be better than last year, if all predictions come true. Of course many students will not be here, because of vacation. They have their ticket, sold to them in the athletic book, but the home calls are stronger. But there will be many others to take their place. The Rotarians will be here, and others. And think of the athletes. What new marks will they make? Will this car's events go down in the books as record breaker? Indications are that many marks will be lowered, but many things may happen before Saturday. What about the weather? We need main, but here's hoping it doesn't spoil he relays. We await the relays Saturday; may the day be good. Every time a fellow carries his raincoat the clouds clear away and the sun comes out. But leave home without the raincoat when the weather is threatening, and the first thing that happens is a deluge.

Six College Girls Decide to Enter Factory Work The industrial experiment, planned by Miss Louise Fleming, university branch secretary of the Y. W. C. A., is intended to give university women a chance to study at first hand the social and social life of the working class. Seattle, Washington — (UP) — Notebooks will be exchanged for lunch baskets by six University of Washington cows next summer, and instead of living in a sorority house on monthly allowances from home, they will rejoin the San Francisco data and submit their earnings as factory workers. More and longer dates are being sought by the women students at Georgia University. At a recent meet- the audience, the Association proposed an amendment which would allow all women students to attend the week until the hour of 11 o'clock. Identities of the research workers will not be revealed, and if other employees will be removed they will be removed from their jobs and placed elsewhere, Miss Flemm- comfortable, cheery and thoughtful service —and food to good you'll be actually surprised.

Total Sun Eclipse to Be Seen in West; Is First in America Since Year 1925 San Francisco — The first tenuous eclipse of the sun in the United States since 1925 is the attraction that will keep visitors on your doorstep to positions near here on April 28. Then the tip of the moon's shadow will graze the earth along a path between North County, Calif., about 20 miles north of the Golden Gate, traveling north-eastwards across the state passing near the city of Maryland and Honey Lake. Crossing into Nevada about 40 miles north of Reno, the shadow continues over the southeastern *corner* of the flat terrain, leaving the earth at a point some 50 miles out of Butte, Mont. Only over a quarter mile wide, will the sun be observed, and the ordinarily invisible corona around it flash into view for a second time. This is a very unusual eclipse, a so-called "central" eclipse, the first of its kind in 18 years. Usually, an eclipse is either total or annular. Either is caused by the moon getting closer to the earth than the distances vary. Sometimes the shadow of the moon reaches to the earth and beyond, and the regions which it crosses are the sun totally obscured. In other times, the shadow, conceal in shape, with the point away from the sun, fails to reach the earth. Then the eclipse is "annular" the moon fully covered by the shadow, and it does not fully cover the sun, and has a ring of sunlight is seen around it. Because of the great number of bodies in the solar system that exist, our path is a very tortuous one, and astronomers are not able to predict its path with absolute precision. As a result, says Dr. R. G. Alkefen, an astrophysicist.

"A photograph of the corona, however, can be taken only at stations on the coast. Crocker Expedition, therefore, plans to set up three cameras, one on the computed line, one about one-third of the computed line, and another an equal distance to the south." In order to predict the most accurate position possible of the path of the shadow, astronomers at the U. S. Department of Astronomy, under the direction of Prof. James Robertson, have made a last minute calculation of the path. Using observations of the moon made by telescopes, they have mapped to path to within a hundredth of a minute of latitude and longitude, or less than a hundred feet. With such recent observations, there should be an excellent chance that the last one and the eclipse itself. Jayhawks Flown Jayhawks Flown J. B.
