Vollmer's "Sun-Up" Is Inspired Story Realistically Done
Kansas Players Rehearsing Regularly and Scenery Near Completion for Cabin
The Kansas Players are hard at work rehearsing "Sun-Up" to be presented April 2 at the Bower. The team has been started on the cabin scene.
"Sunc-Up," the drama of Carolina mountain folk was first produced at the Provincetown Playhouse in New York City. At that time the author of the play, Lola Vollner, was unknown to the theater except as a box office executive for The Theater Guild.
"Sun-Up" a War Story
Born and reared in the lowlands of North Carolina, Miss Vollmer was devoted to the mountain folk toward the World war and the draft that was being organized in the United States. Seeing in the situation a theme for a play, she directed a film that resulted in two weeks of impaired effort.
The play was an immediate hit Lee Shubert took an interest in it and moved it to the Princess theater where the play had a sellout run.
The time of the opening of "Sun-Up is noonday in June, 1917, and the scene is the living room of the Cagle cabin. For the better part of sixty years the Widow Cagle has lived her life with her many. Her father was killed in the Civil war, the revenue officers shot her husband, and when her boy, Rafe, is drafted for the World war, she is bitter. It is, she assumes, another war with the Yankees and France is nine miles further side of Asheville."
Love Triumphs Through Son
Love Triumphs Through Son
Later word comes that Rufa has been killed in action. Just at this point he is dressed in her cabin the son of the revenue officer who killed her husband. She raises the rifle to shoot him and thus average the death of her husband, but the spirit of her dead son whispers to her that the world will love her there in more love and less hate in it.
"Sun-Up" is much greater than its story, though that story is a great one. The play is rich in triumph-draw character, in sympathetic understanding of the literate folk, and in broad bounty. The Wilson Cagle, oak-burnished boy with a facial problem, bud all live very realistically in Miss Voller's play.
Games to Start After Easter Baseball to Follow.
Women's Tennis Planned
The Kansas Players are hard at work; the cabin scene is being constructed; and the performance at the game is one of the events of the season, it is promised.
Women's intramural tennis matches will be held as soon after Easter as possible. The entrance blanks will be soon out and Miss Ruth Mrs Hester interact with the players, will examine the schedules for the singles and doubles matches.
Four women from each house will be permitted to play in the tournament and they may form their own teams or choose their single representation.
All women who play in the tournament will win points. Each match that is won will give the winner three points while the loser will receive one point. If a woman or a doubles team should forfeit a game they will win points and lose all their points, while their opponent or opponents will receive the three points the same as if the game had been played and won.
FOUR PAGES AND MAGAZINE
Baseball intramurals will start May 11, and Miss Hoover advises the women to begin practicing for the games, which will only enter later. They will mainly enter these contests each spring.

Repeated Hangings Give Man Profitable Income
There are all kinds of jobs, but Heinrich Miller, Strautboud, France, is perhaps the only man in the world made a living by hanging himself.
Miller was arrested lately for the eighth time for attempting suicide for profit. His method was to wait in a wooded area until he saw people approaching him then he quickly would hang himself, without hurting his neck very much, and be rescued. He had tried to collect the bodies and collect the offering. His only cost was for new ropes, as the ones he used always wore out.
Exchange Professor
Here Two Years Ago
Honored at Harvard
Professor Kellerman's Lecturer on Changes in Germany to Be Published
Prof. Fritz Kellermann, who was exchange professor at the University during the terms of 1912-13 and 1925-26 and is now Studienrat in Kassel, Germany, recently gave a series of lectures at Harvard University on the revolutionary changes which have shaped the world around us, the World War under the sponsorship of the Graduate School of Education of Harvard University.
Harvard University considered Professor Kellermann's analyses of modern educational practice in his country so inclusive and informing that the committee on publication of the university asked the privilege of issuing the lectures as a title in their series of Harvard bulletins of education.
To Add Chapters
Professor Kellermann added brief chapters on the more important changes that have taken place in French literature, in France, its culture, its
As Professor Kellermann, long a student of education, had been trained in the system that prevailed under the German Empire and had himself watched the introduction of the reform measures, he was particularly impressed by the changes that were introduced after the Republic was founded.
Analyzes New Situation
influences as the Youth Movement, current ideals and practices in painting and literature and other in-depth movements is a natural expression of a modern democracy that throws its strongest emphasis upon that type of education which secures fully developed students ready to serve the community of men.
In discussing the effect of the World War on German education, Professor Kellermann makes no discernible difference. But he analyzes the prevailing attitude of modern Germany toward the new democracy, and allows his reading to reflect.
The analysis of the reforms in the educational systems of France, Italy, England and Russia are brief, but the main points are well-explained in contrast to German reforms.

Olympic Tryout Cancelled
Kansas will not be host to the wrestlers of Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas for the district Olympic tryouts this year. Dr. F. C. Allen has decided that he does not care to have the event. He has decided to decision from Texas where he went to attend the Rice Relay Carnival this week end.
Kansas Will Not Act as Host
As planned, the Olympic tryouts in wrestling would have been one of the biggest athletic events of the Kansas season. It would have drawn the wrestlers from three states. Many entry blanks for the tournament have already been received by Goy Lookla baugh, chairman of the local committee to host the tournament and the district consolidated with the one that meets at Stillwater, Okla.
Three men will be sent to Ames,
Iowa to represent Kansas in the
national intercollegiate meet being held
there. The winners in this meet will
be eligible to enter the national Olympic
tryouts.
Doctor Alten gave no reasons for calling off the event. He is expected to make a statement upon his return from Texas.
Freshman Track Men Split Into Two Teams to Induce Competition
Beginning Meet Was Hindered by Wind Which Prevented Time Records
Last night the first of the freshman practice track meets was held, although a number of men did not appear to compete. Only one half of the regular track events were held, the remaining being left until next week.
A strong wind prevented the runners from making good time in some events, especially in the distance run and quarter-mile.
Eight places scoring 20, 12, 8, 6, 4,
3, 2, and 1 points respectively were counted in order that a check may be had on all entrants.
Hancock barely nosed out Nichols in the 129-yard high hurdles, which he won in the good time of 16.3. Kimes and Nelson finished next.
Lagerquist, Roberts, Said, Campbell, Rogers, Goggles, Ziegler and Minckey finished in order in the 109-yard race. The Lions beat the coyx, Kliner and Sprinters who have shown speed in previous trouts; are all sick and were unable to run.
In the mile run McComb beat out Zingler by a late sprint to take the event in 4:50.6, McKone, Eddy and Matthews came in next.
Only two candidates were on hand to throw the javelin. Marisle won over McKenna with a toss of 128 and broke out because of lack of entrants, but the pole vaulters did not actually compete, although Trustblow and Mattner won.
Lagerquist left all opposition far behind in the 440-yard dash, and despite the strong wind blowing against him at the finish, stepped the distance in 52.2 seconds. McComb scored a touchdown. McComb Kloeen and Green trailing tra.
Hump and Lagerquist scored 40 points, Med Comb 32 and Hancock 26 to lead in individual point making.
"Rosalie" is the story of a young married couple who invite a wealthy friend to tea. The humor of the play centers on the characters and his wife in preparing to make a good impression on their expected visitor. The character of the maid is the most humorous. The story has an amusing and wholly unexpected ending.
"No Girls Allowed" is the story of four boys who organize a club, agree to exclude girls from membership. Four girls, however, find out that club and plan means to get into it. The play is one of clever complications.
Two short plays, "Bossalie" and "No Girls Allowed," will be given Tuesday, March 27, by the students of Oread Training School, according to Prof. J, W. Twenthe, director of Oread. The plays will be given in Myers hall at 8 p. m. Ten cents admission will be charged.
J. J, Iokonky, c'29, g26, has recently published a 16-page pamphlet on "Electrical Methods of Geophysical Prospecting."

Art Authority to Speak
Lecture Will Be Given Monday Night in Fraser
Prof. Oscar Brenuez Jacobson, director of the school of painting and design at the University of Oklahoma will lecture on the "New Age," Monday evening, March 24 in Frazer Hall of the School of Painting. An examination of the Decorative Arts Exposition at Paris in 1925 and is under the aupices of the department of painting of the School of Fine Arts. Professor Jacobson will illustrate the causes underlying all art with the aid of lantern slides. He says the ways artists have begun to express itself through modern arts termed modernistic as definitely as the Renaisance, the Gothic or the Greek, and we shall see in these new forms and combinations of color, sound and movement.
According to Albert Bloch, of the department of painting, Professor Jacobson is one of the foremost authorities on art subjects in the country today. Professor Jacobson has lectured at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Chicago Art Institute, and the University of Michigan, and in St. Louis under the auspices of the American Federation of Arts.
Schwegler to Address Sabbath School Class Today on "The Cross"
Dean of School of Education Will Give Third of Series of Lectures *
"The Cross" is to be the subject of the third Lenten lecture to be given by Dean R. A. Schwegler, of the School of Education, before the University Young People's Class at the Congregational church at 10 o'clock this morning. "This subject," said Dean Schwegler, "will lead up to对象 Resurrection and Pentecost upon which I am to speak next week."
"I am going to point out that the cross is a symbol which is found not only in connection with Christian faiths, but which has been applied to religious systems over the entire world." Dean Schweiger said. "His Christianism really aligns in the concept of selfish devotion and service to humanity. Throughout the ages," Dean Schweiger continued, "it became a symbol of this particular phase of human activity, whether considered in connection with the personality of the Christ, or as an atrying symbol for the adherence of the various forms of Christian conviction.
"I want to show," Dean Schweiger said, "that the cross throughout has been the major symbol, a symbol of unselfish service to humanity. The Christ conceived of himself as being the incarnation of the unselfish devotion and affection which the Holy Spirit gave to him, the mother of His death may be thought of as being in itself a symbol of this very attitude.
"It would have been a relatively simple matter for Him to practice in more generous conformity with social conventions and thus to escape all the misery and wretchedness of His own passing." Dean Schweger continued, "But He chose not to do it because he would have had home service to this bitter soil, and it is in consequence of this fact that the cross assumes for the modern world this peculiar, symbolic meaning," Dean Schweger finished.

New Feature Offered Daily Kansan Readers in List of Air Terms
Expressions Used by Aviators to Be Defined in Service by Aero Club
A new feature will be offered the readers of the University Daily Kanan beginning next week. A course in aeroplane nomenclature is being added as a daily service. Technical details of the course will be explained. Two words and their definitions will be presented each day. This service is given during the K. U, Aero club in Kanan through the K. U, Aero club, its president, O. M. Racker, spe, will provide the series. Rucker, in speaking of the course said, "It will be a great opportunity for students to present lists of words, and names pertaining to aeronautics."
The series will begin with the simplest terms, explaining them in a way that may be understood by any person, and will advance to the more complex expressions. In explaining the more complex words it will often be necessary to use many technical terms, partly as part of the course will furnish the necessary background for the more advanced portion.
Some of the words at the first of the course will be more or less familiar to many of the Kaman's readers but will be unknown to others. Most of the terms will be entirely unfamiliar to the average hyman. Many people have a smattering knowledge of these expressions but are not able to their exact meaning and use. This course will clear up these expression for them and add to their vocabulary.
This innovation by the Kaman will afford its readers an opportunity to keep abreast of the language of the languages.
