Entered as second-class mail matter Sep tenth 17, 1910, at the post office at Law ruce Kansas, under the act of March 5, 1997 FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1927 CITY "CO-OPERATION When the University power plant began burning coal instead of oil, three new five-ton trucks were purchased. The coal from the railroad to the Hill Recently the city of Lawrence passed an ordinance prohibiting trucks carrying weights of more than 13,500 pounds from using the city streets. University authorities had been promised that the coal trucks might be used as a usual until they were notified how much of a load might legally be carried. Wednesday the driver of the first University truck, which started out in the morning was arrested, was taken to jail and held until the super-intendent of buildings and grounds at the University paid his bond. When the arrest was made, the University had on hand only a five days supply of coal. A special temporary permit has been obtained to operate the regular trucks at about three-fifths capacity load, but even this will result in an increase of 40 per cent in handling the coal. It will cost the University about $2,000 to make the change to lighter trucks with pneumatic tires and it will be sometime before the change can be made. CIRCUS IN TOWN! University authorities feel that the city has been rather unfair in the matter. At any rate, a little more cooperation on the part of the city officials would have saved the state a great deal of money. Barnum and Bailey's always used to announce its arrival in town weeks ahead of time by big, glaring red and yellow posters plastered about in every available space. These numerous studies of elephants, tigers, lions, and a liberal sprinkling of monkeys stayed up until they were weatherworn and deceptive. And a certain university atop Mount Oread announces the performances of world famous artists and musicians in the same manner. In an institution built primarily for culture, and to teach men to appreciate beauty as well as utility, it is regrettable that this circus type of posters, defacing the natural beauty of the campus should pretend to spread this culture. It is an undignified medium of bringing a real artist's public to him, and seems rather cheapening, especially on a university campus to thus flaunt his name at the student public as though he were only another act in a two ring circus. If University students cannot have a great artist as their guest on the campus without such cheap display and reminder, they are not worthy of his performance. The campus itself is cheapened by plastering these commercial monstrosities where they obscure and detract from the dignity and beauty of the college grounds. But still, when a celebrity comes to the Hill, some enthusiast immediately plaster up publicity on the wobly wooden frame, and there it stags until it decays or someone else comes to town. SLEEPY TIME BOYS Soothedher in a blow of meaningless words, important regulation pending before the Senate went to its death today. The country was again treated to the spectacle of what may result when a small group of determined men decide to sacrifice majority opinion to their own selfishness. Incidentally, senators are elected, not to act as nightwatchmen over the capital building, but to lend their best efforts toward the enactment of legislation beneficial to the country. The "Reed versus Reed" fillbuster was begun Wednesday evening by David A. Reel of Pennsylvania in an endeavor to limit the powers of the campaign funds investigating committee of James A. Reel, Missouri. The Senate was in a state of siege for several days, each side trying to break down the other's defense. Neither would yield an inch. Vice-president Dawes, presiding officer of the senate, probably checked to himself as he saw some of the same senates who had quashed him when he attempted to amend senate rules to limit debate, now caught in their own trap, desperately striving to break filibuster. An organized body which permits one man or any small group of men to hold up legislation of importance to 115 million people because of the super hot air facilities of these men, has something radically wrong with its rules of procedure. Under the present Senate rules our supposedly highest legislative body look like a bunch of doolerng, puttering, rosy old men, clawing tobacco around the den store. The success of the David Rod fi- luster demonstrates what may be accompanied if one's wind-power is strong enough. At the Concert By John Shively Pietro You charmed his audience last night for nearly two hours. Added to his mastery was his personality. He loved his art so well that he was willing to stay with it as long as the audience stayed with him. Your own compositions were the best of them in the program his "Mimutto" would happy contrast with the seriousness with the first part of the program, "La Concertina" not only was a clever imitation, but also was a study in the use of swells. His encores were so populaire that he was forced to resort to subtle seriousness of Cesar Frank to finally send the audience home. The organist was brilliant. While he placed his art above his technical, his hearers were observers as well, and wondered at the wizardry of the work with his feet and hands. In the first and third movements of the Gulmilian somuta, the Bach "Prelude and Fugue," the "Spanish Rhapsody" Renzi's "Doccata," he worked to brilliancy. His own "First Concert Study" was an exposition in brilliance and grandeur in itself. Voices' new clever use of the different voices was manifested in the artistic "Chimes of St. Mark" and in Professor Skitton's "Meditation." He was the first person to organ but be easily overcome this difficulty. The artistic seriousness of these numbers and of the heavy numbers was relieved by the humor in "The Squirrel and the Powell Weaver's" "The Squirrel," and the lightness of the "Spanish Rhapsody." Lawrence and University theater-gears at last were given the opportunity to see the musical-comedy which featured a cast of actors can audiences for the last two years, when "The Student Prince in Heidelberg" was presented at the Bower-schöer theater last night. Many who saw it elsewhere went to see it gain. At The Theater The comedy was produced by a far better company than many expected to find. The voices were excellent, and students of another land thrilled to the now-familiar strains of "The Songs," "The Drinking Song," "Bee in My Heart Dean," and other songs that were in My Heart Den," and other hedildberg. --the Prince fell in love. Besides having a sweet soprano voice, she was an unessenceless little actress, and her emotional modes were all well done. The part of the Princess Margaret was pleasingly played by lovely Miss Jennie MacDonald, and Miss Sarah Edwards, the bombastic and dignified Old Grand Duchess, was a never ending source of joy. Although Lucien Metis, who played the title role, rather overdid his acting, he had an admirable voice, with an unusually large range. Miss Eil Gergely was a thoroughly delightful Kathi, the young barnalo, with whom --the Prince fell in love. Besides having a sweet soprano voice, she was an unessenceless little actress, and her emotional modes were all well done. The part of the Princess Margaret was pleasingly played by lovely Miss Jennie MacDonald, and Miss Sarah Edwards, the bombastic and dignified Old Grand Duchess, was a never ending source of joy. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. VII Friary, March 4, 1927 No. 128 Beta Chi Sigma will discuss the "Relation of Psychology to Sociology on Monday, March 7, at 4 p.m. Prof. S. Eldridge of the sociology department will have charge of the meeting. Miss Edna Wiiser, Mrs. Dear Brechtmann, and Mr. Leo Reindum will present papers. BETA CHI SIGMA: The clever lines of Lee Stark as Mr. Lutz, the Prince's valet, drew many laughs, although Stark was a crude comedian. The humor of "perky" Gretchen, also at times seemed forced. But the lines, as well as the music, of "The Student Prince" will always be good. C. R. GARVEY. President. The choruses, which were with trained and elaborately costumed, were a vital part of the entertainment. The supposed men's chorus was the most important, and although one could discern two or three women among its torment, and the other many patrons, yet they could, and did sing together harmoniously and artistically. The leader of the chorus was especially youthful and exuberant, and his enthythmium lent a realistic rabah atmosphere to all the university affairs. The women's chorus was given little opportunity to display any ornaments, but its members were beautifully groomed, and waited gracefully. The production was above the average of those that have appeared in Lawrence of recent years, and one might venture to hope that the packed audience at the Browser next night will be a little need for more and better shows.

But who of all the people we know employ us for our sole purpose of artistry? There are a few rare individuals who passes an aesthetic sense, and who d'light in conversation not for its informative value but entirely and loudly. These least beautiful and the best thought brilliantly. They are combo-seats of speech. They make sure of conversation as a literary artist with a masterful painter's subtle shades of color. They paint unundered speech or speech that expresses merely whatever they have to say. They turn clay into a rainbow, the plain, drab bread of every day, and the real artisans are epicures of conversation. They prefer the luxury of spies and the sparkling champagne rather than the more easily obtained oats which are the sum and goal of speech in a dialogue. They find all things digestible, however shorn of ornament.

And in whatever communities college men and women elect to live, they should take a lively interest in civic improvements including street lighting. The citizens of the country have taken Leerie's job. They are the lamplighters of today, and they spend 33 cents of each tax dollar that their streets may be bright. Good street lighting means more flourishing business sections, safe traffic, convenience and protection. GOOD old Leerie, the lamplighter, worked cheerfully to make the streets bright.
