THE NEW ROAD
Besides the many new things that the campus needs in the way of books, buildings and equipment, there is a district need of a new campus road.
The old story of going around Rabbi Hoold's hatch to get in at the door is well illustrated by the road problem on the east side of the University grounds. In going south over the Hill from Oread avenue, it is necessary to drive two blocks west to the Commons, then one block south to Seventeenth, then two blocks east, to get back to the street corresponding to Oread avenue. The distance traveled is five blocks or 1800 feet, a little over a quarter of a mile. If a road were extended on from the drive east of the lilac hedge along the west boundary of the Waltham place to Seventeenth, there would be a travel saving of more than 1550 feet.
This would not only be a big saving in time for those living on the south of the campus, but would afford one of the finest views around Lawrence. With a very small expenditure this street could be cut and graded, so that the north and south traffic barrier, the Hill, would be eliminated.
AND STILL THE SQUAWK
Again an artist comes to our midst and we gather in the great auditorium of the gymnasium to hear him, to enjoy ourselves and to appreciate his ingenious efforts.
But again our efforts are thwarted for the concert was hardly well under way when squeaking, squawking sounds began issuing intermittently from the rarified atmosphere in the vicinity of the gymnasium roof. Squeak! Squawk! Bang! And every one turns around to see what the comotion is all about. They forget the artist, they forget about their two-dollar himself, and the artist very nearly forgets himself while the grating sounds of the ventilators command the attention of the entire audience.
If there were a shortage of oil, the negligence in keeping them oiled might be excusable, but according to the morning papers this is not the case. Neither do the workmen around the gymnasium seem to be so busy that they could not spare a half-hour sometimes to look after them.
Of course it has been only a couple of months since they were told about it, and we can't expect them to drop everything just to look after the ventilators.
The Films
"The Passion Play," directed by Dimitri Bouchokewels, and distributed by the Passion Play distributors. A preview showing of the picture to be given at the Varsity Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week
"The Passion Play" is something out of the ordinary; it is more than a mere motion picture; it is the story of Christ, directly and simply told on the screen. The picture differs, first, in that it is a reproduction of the passion and death as portrayed by the actors, J.K. Rowling and Oliver Baden, in Germany. Though not widely known as the production of the Oberammergau Players, it is said that this play has regularly been given in Frelighsburg since the year 1600.
As filmed by Dimitri Büchowetsa, the leading parts are taken by villagers of the city. These folk are
shown in scenes from their daily life
in the brief prologue to the picture
along with views of the buildings
structured to house the production.
There are a number of faults likely to be found in such a picture, the most obvious being the acting. The actor who plays the Christ does not appear particularly beautiful, frequently overhadowed by lesser characters. In comparison with some of the scenes from "Ben-Hur," which were pictorially perfect, the "Passion Scene" is much more difficult. This lack, however, is made up by the natural beauty of the settings.
But the outstanding characteristics of the picture are its artless simplicity and the peculiar vividness with which the leading incidents in the life of Christ are told. After seeing these natural and unaffected passions, the passion and death of Christ, one moves away with a new sense of the reality and the power of the "world's greatest tragedy."
At the Concert
by John Shively
A panorama of what the teachers throughout the state are doing was presented in the concert by members of the Kansas State Music Teachers as long as they are as musical fate of the state is extrusted to instructors of the ability shown last night, Kansas will continue to forge to the front. A review of the whole program will teach in much the same way the concert has been taught; the program been limited to an hour and a half it would have been much more enjoyable and those who appeared last would have had better opportunity to show their ability. One group could have been omitted from each group and Mr. Fischer could will have omitted two of his numbers.
The violin chair from Southwestern College created the most interest. To have assembled such a group of musicians, it was a college in something of note in itself. To have assembled such a group that plays so well is a rare accomplishment. Miss Rogers sang "Ebal's Dream," which Leon played with true artistic effect.
The concerto for three violins played by representatives of the University well uplift the reputation of the School of Fine Arts.
The high quality of the vocal numbers was appreciated by those who have felt the lack of good vocal music this year, Mr. Carr of Salam had a clear voice and used it carefully, he says. Hays song her interest group offers a good taste in keeping her numbers more in conformity of such a long program, Mrs. Alice Mentereffang in her usual articlay way. Miss Snow of Emperor would probably have attended but she not attempted much, heavy number. She proved herself, however, adequate to this number.
Mr. Fischer gave a modern group, He made it interesting, even though it came after the time when the program should have been completed. Lee Greene maintained the reputation of Kansas as a musical state by his excellent rendition of Professor Skilker's "American Indian Fantasy."
The string quartet from Emporia Teachers College did the most effective playing that a string quartet has done here this year, but it was
Those last years of your life can be the most comfortable—free from cares and worries. Or they can be the most tragic period of your life.

The merchants of Lawrence counties are glad the University is located where it is, but they probably breathe it, wish now and then that the students were not so much given to journalism as they are. In addition
to the Daily Kanan there are now three other student publications on the BHI—the Owl, the Dove and the Hawk,—and they are all (even the Dove) preying on the merchants of Islam in which is their only source of resources incidentally what a flock of birds is being bred on M. Orland.

The steadily diminishing supply of fur animals tends to prove that your fur garments are increasing in value. Consult us in regard to the possibility of your old furs. All work guaranteed.
We wrap them for mailing if you wish, and they sell for $1.50.
