Enthused Audiences Comment Favorably on Musical Comedy
Second Nighters Are Thrilled As Actors and Choruses Present Hits
The reputation that "You Tell Eman Sam" achieved on its first night drew a capacity crowd yesterday evening at the show. The audience was evidently highly pleased with the production, as no other act made it so successful, and some of the acts received as many as three. Applause brooks in Callahan's performance at the callahan and Paterson receiving the major share with Kathryn Langmaade and Corbett Cotton close
According to first masters who were enthusiastic enough to return for the second night, and there were few in attendance, the success of the show was slightly more smappy than that of the initial evening. The plot flowed of smoothly with no bumps and the audience enjoyed everything from the songs to the imminent comedy team of Callahan and Patterson.

Expressions of approval could be heard on every side as the play ended.
"It's better than 'Green Days,' and I thought I'd never see a more munica and funnier student production."
"Ruth Foster was certainly n wow, did you hear 'em encore her three times?"
"That show could go on the road and make a big hit—wonder why Ziegfeld isn't out here hiring both chagesses?"
"Moonlight and Tide" was certainly a beautiful song, and that Kathryn Langmade's voice gave me a big thrill."
"Gee! that was a wonderful show." And so on, and so, far into the night. But the fact remains emphatically that the W. S. G. A. has produced a musical comedy that is a prominent milestone for music, emphatically that the University. The audiences of both nights seemed to agree that George Calhoun had written a musical show, but also gave due credit to Hal Adamson, who wrote the play, to Virginia Allen, who directed it, to Virginia Arnold, who produced the songs.

Plan to Organize Debating Leagues Meets With Favor
National Extension Group Proposes Interstate Contests During Next Year
Two high lights that came out on the thirteenth annual conference of the National University Extension of Texas at Fort Worth Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of last week were the proposals to or against a bill regarding the consideration of intelligence tours.
The debating leagues are to be organized under the direction of the extension divisions of the respective universities and will function in an open debate, but closed. Debates will be held between states as well as in each state. The same question, bibliography and balloons will be selected from the two legislative bodies, with that of the American cabinet, separate from the legislative bodies.
Utah First to Have Tour
The first "intelligence tour" was conducted two years ago by the University of Utah when the association holds its annual meeting there. These intelligence tours are held in private, eight-day sight-seeing tours. They are designed to provide tourists with an understanding of what they see. For this purpose a skilled geologist must travel from Utah's geology department, accompanies each party. In this way the geology of the country which is toured takes on new meaning. These tours are in special buses and at special prices.
The pioneer states in this venture are Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin.
The most important change in membership will allow institutions not state universities or members of the Association for the Advancement of Women to become members of the Extension Association on a seven-eighth vote of the members. This will now allow the universities and colleges who are not state universities to become colleges to become members. Many of these institutions are already carrying on an important extension work.
Rules governing credit for extern. works and standards of courses were raised and made more uniform. The conferral of certificates to officers and committee reports. The meeting will be hold next year at the University of Texas, Austin.
If "early visitors continue to come to Kansas," said H. I.

They especially admired our campus and the students there.
Eighty-six delegates from 34 of the member institutions were here.

The concert trip was a decided success this year according to J. C. Meehan, who played well and the concerts were received with enthusiasm. The company, led by Chase Hunt and Chase", a realistic Indian number, was a favorite at each high school.

Rock' Chalk Pile Re-Dedicated at Annual Intiation of Senior Men
"The entire University is invited and urged to be there as it will include a congregation of noted K. U. men, while the program will be instructive and interesting," said the instructor. The initiation is an annual event.
An unusual and novel part of the ritual and initiation is that it is based on a man's name, not his monomial. It was translated and arranged; its Cara Deloxin of Haslach, who lived at Montreal, was part of this tribe and is familiar with their ceremonials and customs, it was pointless.
The dedication will be before initiation, which will be held just before graduation. The dedication has been chosen yet. Hankell Indians will take part in the ceremony and are required to serve.
As is the custom, new members are chosen by Sachem members and a faculty committee. Last year seven men were chosen.
Sachem is also having printed and will distribute an account of the history of Sachem and the Rock Chalk collection of these two well known institutions.

New Plans Made for Senior Class Payment of Dues
Graduating Class Members to Be Measured This Week for Caps and Gowns
All persons taking part in the coming commencement exercises, will be measured for caps and gowns at the Central Administration building, from 1:20 to 4:30 p. m. each afternoon this week. They may pay their annual dose at the business office on day morning until Friday evening. The only measurement necessary for the ordering of caps and gowns are the height of the persons, and the head size.
The system of paying dues this year is as follows: Each student who has paid his dues and a cap and gown laid aside for his degree he has paid his senior dues of $8.00 at the business office, he will be given another which is an order for the cap and gown.
The fees of $8.00 may be paid at the business office at any time after the measurements have been taken. The fees must be given to him in form giving his name and address.
Get Diplomas After Ceremony
This receipt will be presented to the student in the caps and gowns and he will be given the outfit. Immediately after the ceremony is completed the cap and gown are taken from the tee in charge, and a receipt will be given to the student, entitling him to get his diploma at the registrar's office.
This year the commencement committee, at the suggestion of the Men's Student Council, looked into the matters of accumulated funds, and through the efforts of a joint committee of council members and members of the university commencement department, the Tilden Manufacturing company of Ames, Iowa.
Students Saved By
By this action, each student is saved a large proportion of the expense of a large class as has been done in previous years.
The combined charge of $1.50 for each student of $1.00 to each student over the oil field is
Included in the $3,000 fee, each item of $3.00 for alumni dues; $2,500 assessment as a contribution to the Memorial Union building; and $1.50 fee for admission to the expense of the senior breakfast and other incident expenses of the class. Fred Ellsworth of the alumni office estimates that his senior class is in excellent shape and that the class has been extremely fortunate since the $8,000 budget is low, considering the fact that it is more than the assessment of $2,500 for the memorial fund.
Union Contributions Smal
Students Pledge Only $5,380 in Memorial Campaign
Total pledges on the Memorial Union building fund, the campaign of which started Wednesday, totals $430,000. The amount $800,500 was paid. More than 100 students are to be seen yet for contributions and with the pledge of $2 each from every senior it is expected that at least one reach be received $2,000 and $10,000.
"The amount coming in is rather disappointing and simply goes to show that no campaign can be carried on for raising money without a pressure group," said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the committee in charge.
"We attempted this year to carry on a strong campaign of information and then allow the students to contribute voluntarily. The result has been that many students who are capable of pleading a cent," Mr. Mitchell said.
Following considerable publicity and a series of entertainments at the Union building the students were invited to attend 10:30 classes Wednesday morning.
The names of those not in those whose have been distributed among men are not listed. These men individually to make a pledge. "Pledges are still acceptable," Mr. Brown said.
"The entire affair has involved considerable work and those who deserve special mention for their part in the work area: Balfourafferry, Leo Buchs, Paul Gifford, Alice Gaillard,纠合 Cieppert, and Charles Hanes," said Mr. Mitchell.
That archery is popular with the women at Oregon State University is shown by the fact that nearly two hundred and forty students have enrolled in the university's equipment program has been ordered to take care of the increased number.

Thomson tied the score for the Jayhawks in the Kansas half of the first round when he drove out a terrific hit to centerfield for three bases, and then tumbled the throw in and Thomson sped over the plate with the tying run.
From then until the sixth, both sides waged even battle. In the sixth frame Hill was safe on error by the Missouri first baseman. Thompson then cracked out another long triple to deep center to bring Hill Thomas out for a sacrifice (to bring Thomson in) or for the third Jay-hawk counter.
In the seventh and eighth, the Tigers infested the base paths but could not score.
Neither team threatened from then on, and the contest ended to 2 to 1, giving Kansas an even break with the Tigers for the series.
