A CHANCE FOR A THEATER
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1927
Victoriously returned from their Shubert engagement, the Kansas Players are again without a permanent roof over their heads. Back to the school of their nativity, still they must rent the town theater for their presentation on Monday night.
But a place has been found which, although now it is here, unfamiliar space, could be made into an admirable little theater. It is the top floor of the Union building, which with a stage erected and the floor raised would seat about four hundred persons, according to authorities.
Why not use our resources to the fullest? This room, if converted into a theater, can be used for any other known purpose; lectures, concerts, classrooms. Greater facility could not be found than that.
With the addition of a balcony, which is equally possible as far as space is concerned, approximately six hundred persons could be seated. But with even a seating capacity of only 400, three nights performances would accommodate all holders of enterprise tickets and any others interested in non-professional drama.
University authorities are favorable to the suggested utilization of the space; money is the only item lacking to carry out this suggestion; but from where is the money to come?
The dramatic club has voted to donate its surplus of $750 as a nucleus for the equipment of a little theater. With a goal such as the proposed one toward which to work, plays could easily be given this spring to raise between $500 and $1,000, according to Prof. Allen Criftan, of the dramatic department.
The impetus needed is for the University actively to begin the project of furnishing a little theater, with the enthusiastic aid of student appreciators of drama.
--that commonwealth of cotton and cane, the perplexing problem of the origin of species. The two incidents may not have a direct bearing on each other; they may be more accidents occurring consistently, and on the other hand they may tend to show an attitude of mind.
The forces of reaction have won another sweeping victory in Mississippi, and the state will not be exposed to the opprobrium which the presence of a man like Judge Lindsey, late of the juvenile court of Dover, would bring down on it. The good citizens of Brookhaven, one of the proproper and progressive cities of the state, along the "Father of Waters," have taken proper action to prevent his appearance in that city on a scheduled livestock burit.
A Chicago historian believes the first white child born on the North American continent was the son of a Swedish settler who preceded Columbus by some five hundred years. This information should bring comfort to the advocates of Nordic supremacy who heretofore had to overlook Columbus' ancestry.
A NEW BLACK BOTTOM
, *Recently Judge Lindeney broke into* the glaring light ring with his pronouncement favoring trial marriages as one possible remedy for the orgy of divorce, and the attendant unhappiness which is sweeping over the country. "No long ago Mississippi passed an anti-evolution bill, thereby setting at rest for all time to come in
NIGHT DANCERS
There quick feet patterned on the grass.
As tight as weeds fall, full.
I saw their shadows on the glass,
and heard their voices call.
But when I want out hurrying
To join them, they were gone.
I only found a little ring,
of tampons on the lawn.

With no effort to advocate or to consult the view expanded by Judge Lindsey, it must be said that he should at least be given a hearing. It is not so much Mississippi's attitude on the idea expanded by Judge Lindsey as the unwillingness of the people to listen to any other ideas save those which are in direct conformity with the existing standards, that is matter for concern.
Mississippi is a state which is not famous for its literacy. This fact in all fairness must be attributed to the true causes; the local social and economic conditions. There is a small group, however, which sees the needs of the state, and is taking initial steps to remedy them. This group centers around the graduate of universities and colleges who have kept in touch with the current thought. Their efforts, motivated by the desire to see their state take its premier rank with the other 47 in the Union, are handicapped by the action of a macro-minded majority, the same which earlier gave support to the nineteenth bill and which at present believes that the Negro is an inferior race, making one degree below some of the
--the noise of women do a good job in getting married. They keep up their chucks, powder their noses, wear skirts short enough to show dimple knees, show their efficiency in cooking by making cake, play with the kids, and say that “Oh you wonderful man” attitude, and in general make men feel that they are *many* luts to get their jobs. But they continue to allow men to think they're the whole cheese when there are new data, fur costs or new
Those who think contemporary youth headed for the future pit because their members do not enjoy a 'friendly chat, walking, reading, and communion with nature' are invited to come upon the next pleasant afternoon as an opportunity to note the number of students headed up the river in boats, or hiking out the highlands and raid 'oud trails' leading from Lawrence.
GO TO IT
Here you are, music teachers. We suppose you are already beginning to learn the benefits of being together for the exchange of ideas. We hope that you have had time despite the heavy program outlined for you to look us over and pass judgment.
We are confident that this meeting will be the most inspiring that you ever had. We are confident that you will receive a greater spark of ambition to return to your school and convert the natives from "Yes, He's my Baby," to "The Unfinished Symphony."
A missing Austen archibude is reported to have died in New York in 1824. Too much society adoration, or what?

FROM HIM THAT HATH NOT
Fire, always a menace and a devastator, is particularly cruel when it takes the lives of children.
A few days ago two babies, one four years old and one 18 months, were found burned to death, their arms about each other and a nursing bottle between them, in a poor little frail frame house in Kawasan City. The fuel supply had been exhausted, the father was at work, and while the mother was trying to locate fuel to fire the stove for breakfast she had left the children in bed with an electric iron to warm them.
Pitying neighbors kept the parents from the scene as long as possible, but they cannot take the pitcours fact ut of their lives.

And the price of one antique chair from one of the pretentious homes on the other side of the city would have paid for a whole winter's fuel supply for this family.

A certain student in the department of journalism is feeling very proud these days.
But still the mess of women have a little bit the better in scholarship in the university. Maybe they use it more, appeal. But still they are irreversible.
Last week the Ottawa Herald made comment on a Kansas editorial that was obviously written by a woman, Tuesday's Empress Gazette, continuing the same subject, contains the following: *
AN EXCITED FLAPPER
AN EXPLETED PLAYER
On the day the following was written, the cut-out playful who wrote it must not have taken to clothing who wrote it must form and shook out all its marvelous "a mime of women" That settles it. There's no use to look for anything except a bunch of food and clothes; nothing else, yellow, they're impractical."
Then man assumes a halter but then expression, off back in his hands. He asks him to part of it so that his wife agrees to do the teaching. He tells his story of teaching her how to draw the ear, and tells Sammy to draw the ear to the two. She draws the ear to the two and fetchs the book.
This comment was recently overheard on the campus. It referred to the Kronenberg Student Union of the Kronenburg, it is frequently made by men in wider fields of acce-

All communications treated as private
and confidential.
By a stroke of great good fortune the essayist is a blond. Fortunately again, he says he does not have a date for two weeks from next Saturday night and if he had he would dock it. As we go to press he is writing to box 414, Emporia, and he is looking forward eagerly to a trip to tint city, where he hopes a good time will be by all.
Being generous, however, he does concede that the editor of the Kannu is also a blonde and that she know how to give out assignments with a gift in her eye that says get it!' In *Sahara* Silky The Foundation is calling for a new vision.
WHERE WERE THE MARINES?
Chicago must have enjoyed its election. Though the capacity list is not yet complete, enough skulls were cracked and gunshot wounds exchanged to have made the recent city primary something to take the children to.
With "Big Bill" Thompson staging a comeback and an acknowledged beercatcher and general bad mug trying for an alderman seat, there can be Rihe doubt that the citizens of the Windy City got what they want, if what they want is 'what they've got already.
In the return engagement of the political troupe, scheduled for sometime in April, the beer-runner will seek the nomination which the theft of two ballot boxes failed to gain him this time. His ward workers probably are climbing up their machine guns already. As between ballots and bullets, Chicago seems to prefer bullets.
After shaving—WHAT?
WHEN you finish your shave, what do you do for your face? Probably wash off the lather and let it go at that. Here's a better idea. Slap on a few drops of Aqua Velva, Williams new scientific after-shaving liquid. It helps the skin retain its needed natural moisture—keeps it flexible and comfortable all day long. In big 5-oz. bottles — soze.

Why Professora Get Gray
These are some of the reasons.
The bluffer. The boy with the loud voice and empty head. The fellow who took the course before-the-steve. I the coooed who don't know how to spell a word. I a bait in the course. The silent bird who might have something worth while to say but who keeps this something hidden. The collegian who hasn't read that far in the text and attempts to stags a filibuster and then repeatedly dandy serious young radical who knows only that he's radical. The equally serious young consecutive who believes only what his grandfather believed. And the boy who is taking the course just for the credit. The four-years of class discussions have given us sympathy for the professor. No wonder he gets gray.

COMPOSE
Compose, the word which one hears on the tongues of the fashion-wise constantly this season means "to put together" according to the dictionary. In fashion circles, which is much more to the point, it refers to the smart combination of a demure little jacket and dress or the joining in one fashion of two or more shades or colors.
The Most Important Word In the Realm of Fashions.
As usual the more subtle interpretations of the compose mode await your approval here.
