Plans for Fraser Theater Continue Under Difficulties
Chancellor Lindley Voices Approval of Project for Rebuilding Old Stage
"I am still hopeful that we can provide adequate facilities for dramatic presentation," said Chancellor E. H. Lindley today. "I 'am personally very much interested in the development of the drama at the University."
In tracing the development of the proposal to convert Fraser chapel into a little theater, Chancellor Lindley said that last year he had met with Prof. Allen Crafton, head of the department of speech and dramatic art, representatives of the University Dramatic Club and state architect, Charles B. Cuthbert to discuss plans by the theatre company that could be remodeled to accommodate various dramatic productions on the Hill.
At this time the Dramatic Clut hoped to raise the funds necessary to the remodelling of the stage. However it was the hope of the chancellor at this time, that the administration could be at least the largest part of the expense and recently it was in sight of funds for this purpose.
The state architect accordingly studied the possibilities and drew up blue prints which were approved by Prof. Crafton of the department of speech and dramatic art, while Prof. Crafton is on leave of absence in Europe. Those in charge were confident the plains could be carried out to conform to the anti-drug policy.
More recent estimates however show that the plans as approved would necessitate the expenditure of double the amount of the original estimate. The plans are being worked over with Mr. Guthert today.
That it would be impossible for construction to proceed during the academic year, due to the crowded condition of Fraser hall was a fact stressed by Chancellor Lindley, who reiterated that the reason the plans for this new theater could not have been forwarded is that of lack of funds.
The Fraser hall chapel will be used as an assembly hall as well as a little theater for dramatic productions.

The plans as they now appear for the stage will call for dressing rooms built above the wings of the stage proper, on a line with the balcony, a room for props behind the stage and later when added to the back two small rooms on either side of the stage will be converted into dressing rooms.
Effort will be made to make the decoration and hangings follow graceful lines in the best possible taste
Applications Open Today
Applications are now open for the post of manager of the W. S. G. A. book exchange for next year. All those who wish to apply for the position should do so in writing by April 10. They should submit their qualifications and any references. Anyone who satisfactory grades may apply.
Book Exchange Manager to Be Appointed Soon
The book exchange is located on the third floor of Watson library and is in charge of Jenniwani books. The book exchange are located in Fraser. Students bought their books there and left them to be sold. Now, through the establishment of a book exchange center, are paid privileges for their books.
When a student brings his book in, it is appraised and a selling price given to it. The student is then paid 20 per cent of the cost, and the teacher makes the price fair to both seller and purchaser," and Jenivie Herman, manager of the exchange. "The exchange is establishing an incentive to them take advantage of it."
While the exchange is not buying any books now on account of the semester being so nearly over, the exchange will purchase books for next year later on, probably during examination week.

Y.W.C.A.Board of Topeka Meets With Local Group
Proposal to Revise Code Must Be Considered at Convention in April
Fourteen members of the Topkoin board of the Y, W, C, A, met with several members of the Y, W, C, A. A meeting was held to restatement of the Y, W, C, A, purpose for students. This question will be voted upon at the national conference of the Y, W, C, A, to be held in Sacramento, Calif., the last of next
The proposed stance of a purpose is: "The Young Women's Christian Association of the University of Kansas, a member of the Young Women's Christian Association of the United States of America and a part of the World's Student Christian Federation, declares its purpose to be;
"We, the members of the Young Women's Christian Association of the University of Kansas, unite in the development through a growing knowledge of God
"We determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people.
"In this task we seek to understand Jesus and follow Him."
Membership Unlimited
**Membership Cultivate**
Under the proposed plan, any woman of a certain age may be member of the K. U. Y. W. she makes the following declaration; "I wish to enter the fellowship of the Young Women's Christian Association and will endeavor to uphold theurnew in our own life."
The present statement, which is proposed that the above shall replace, is: "The Young Women's Christian Association, a comradeship of fellow-students, declares its purpose to be: the establishment of faith in God through Jesus Christ
2. To lead them to membership and service in the Christian church.
"3. To produce their grown in Christian faith and character, especially through the study of the Bible, they should be made to themselves in united effort with all Christians to make the will of Christ effective in human society and to extending the kingdom of God throughout the world."
Any woman may be a member of the K, U, Y, W, C, A, if she is in sympathy with the purpose and makes the following declaration: "It is my purpose to live as a true follower of Jesus Christ."
Qualifications Influenced
Qualifications Inherited
If change were wrong, the strike would leave us suspicious that two-thirds of the cabinet members must be members of a Protestant evangelical church, and leave the qualification to the rest of the members of the organization.
This proposed new purpose is, according to Miss Marie Russ, Y. W. C. A. secretary, a "fresher, more democratic purpose, and puts the emphasis on working together rather than on one group's leadership," she said. Students are in favor of the proposed amendment, Miss Russ said.
Although the measure, if passed would affect only student Y. W. C. A.'s, the national conference will have to pass it, because the change would affect the national constitution. City boards all over the United States are conferring with students on this question, according to Miss Hanna. The City board is meeting and some students may attend that meeting.
Constance Nuckles, c28, president of the University Y. W. C.A., is planning to attend the national conference at Sacramento next month. As far as he is known, no other student from K. U. is planning to go.

A. E. to Lecture on Subject Connected With Affairs in Free State
G. W. Russell, eminent Irish statesman and poet, will be a visitor at the University April 2 and 3, and will address all an University convention of the morning of April 3 on some suburban State, according to Prof. W. S. Johnson, chairman of the department of English. On the afternoon of April 2, Mr. Russell will speak on contemporary Irish literature. The lecture is being sponsored by the department and will probably be open to the public.
Besides being a statesman and poet, Mr. Russell is also a journalist, painter and economist. He is editor of the Irish Statesman, periodical of Dublin, and is one of the most prominent leaders of modern Ireland and
Mr. Russell, who writes under the pen name A. E., is the father of the Irish Institution and the center of the literary culture of Ireland. He is the expression of his own mystical beliefs and it deals chiefly with mature as a symbol of the spiritual life of the world. Through his writing he has helped to shape the long-lost in that of A. E., who, a long time ago, came to think that the artist or the philosopher should, besides working out his own particular conception, formulate a commonity in which he lived.
Professor Johnson, who was in Dublin in 1925, met and became a great friend of Mr. Russell. "His visit here, because of his great work in the field of computing," he said to the English department." Professor Johnson said this morning.
Mr. Russell, who is a man in his sixties, has been out of Ireland only twice during his lifetime; once many years ago he went to France and now he is in the United States. He has devoted his life to the advancement of the Irish state and the Irish people. But he is delighted with America.
"Secure in the place he has won so quietly, so without striving, as of the greatest being, may he be surrounded by the poetic soul at the core of this seemingly unpacific American," Shauna O'Sheal says in writing of A. E.

A student is to be in charge of the Union building during the open hours on Sundays. Any student wishing to apply for the job is asked to see Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, or Chancellor Lindley. The information committee, composed of Baffour Jeffrey, chairman, Alice Gaskill, and Los Bobo met a special committee appointed last week by the joint committees on the Union. This committee discussed plans for bringing the project before the students. Following the meeting, the information committee met to decide on some difinite program. The committee will meet again later at 9:30 with U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the Union committee, for the purpose of working plans out more definitely.
