THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Vol. XXVI
Kansas Schools Were Entertained by County Clubs
Ise, Hargiss and Bunn Tall to Many Different Groups During Vacation
**Reports from the secretaries of the various county clubs indicate that practically every county was enter- ticipating in the three speakers from the University spent part of the vacation traveling around and talking before gatherings in the different counties. Prof. John Koehler, from the United Great Bend, Larned, and Garden City. William "Bill" Hargias, football coach, spoke at Wichita, Hutchison, Pratt and Kingman; while the football coach, game, gave a talk at Garnett.
The people who talked before these different groups during the vacation reported that they were without exposure, large and sparse academic interests.
Besides these speakers from the University itself, several of the counties put on their own entertainment program at West Wichita County Club had a window display and a radio program. Belleville had a party and a reunion. City showed K. U., alles to an enthilless audience. The shows were shown at Jetmore and Dighton.
A number of the county clubs report that they intend to carry on their boosting campaign during mid-semester and the Easter vacation.
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, announced today that the date set for the turning over to the college for Jayhawkers will be sent to the various high schools of the region so that Jayhawker enrolments to be made to have been turned in before Christmas, but the early vacation caused a postponement. "So far, 'so far,'" he added. The college was turned in by different clubs for Jayhawkers, and as the alumni association agreed, more money is needed." The number of Jayhawkers that go to a county is absolutely dependent on the number of ports Ellsworth, so each club should try to get its money in as soon as possible for the quota for its county.
Theater Guild Here Jan. 9
Performances of Two Popuk Dramas to Be Given
The University and Lawrence are particularly fortunate in being able to offer the most comprehensive companies, since the metropolitan players are usually easier to make one-eight stands, Prof. Robert Caldwell said today of the department of dynamic art today.
"Only by a special arrangement with carefully chosen towns in Karachi and Islamabad, it is possible, involving as it does a one-night stand. Of course this company costs a lot of money but the good thing — good the outstanding theatre group in this country, as everyone else has — is that the prices are very low, probably the lowest price schedule on which the Guild has ever appeared on tour, according to sources."
"The Doctor's Dilemma" will be given at the afternoon performance and "Ned Cobb's Daughter" will be presented at night.
"The appearance of the New York Theater Guild Company at the university for two performances on Wednesday, Jan. 6, is an event of large interest and importance to the whole community." Professor Calderwood said.
"Realizing the meaning of the appearance of this company in Lawrence, and knowing quite well the lively appreciation of this community for good dreams, I personally feel free to predict and predict moon and evening of rare enjoyment. Without doubt," concluded Prof Calderwood.

The large known deposits have been located in fawnd counties Others with small present production or known possibilities include Sherri Harper, Seward, Grant, Rawins, Comanche Smith, Ellsworth Graham and Isham, in polishing powder, and as an ingredient of concrete.
"Underground waters are of great importance for irrigation, and for domestic and municipal use in Mississippi, Alabama, and western Harrahee counties.
"What other buried treasures may be under the surface of this vast area could be discovered by careful investigation of the area. Two or three years of concentrated effort could complete the map. Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri have such complete maps, and their industrial development has been hastened," Doctor Moore, U.S. Army, said.
"In midwestern Kansas there are enormous limestone deposits which will be available for cement manufacture when that area develops industries."

Fine Arts Professor Finishes New Opera Dealing With Indians
in Tennessee
C. S. Skilton Portrays Legend About Reel Foot Lake In Tennesse
Prof. Charles Sanford Skilton, of the Fine Arts School, has completed his new opera, "Kalimbu," written by himself and directed by himself five years in which to produce the opera, and finished it upon exact schedule. It is, at course, not too difficult. He has received the Angel," who is Professor Skilton's next most recent major opus, was composed and given two important pieces that are as well as numerous lesser things.
In the score, "Kalippin" appears to be music of the kind associated with Professor Skilton in the past. It is not modern in the sense of being extremely dull and unmovable, although there is an exceptionally effective displacement of dissence.
The music is not exclusively Indian. The theme of the opera is a combination of an Indian love story and opera, with musical elements from the New Madrid earthquake which formed in the northwest corner of Tennessee, Reel Foot Lake. This enters important dramatic opportunities, and others for the acrostic verse.
The finale combines the five chief themes of the opera. The themes are all Professor Skilton's, and some of them come from previously completed works.
The Tennessee legend, around which the opera is made, was written by John Pierce, a noted poetess and former newspaper woman. She took the plot from radi地震 that created Real Food magazine, and wrote Lake. Reel Foot is, in the Chichahaw language, "Kalopim," which is also the name of the *Chickashaw* book.
