THE MILWAUKEE CONFERENCE
Of more than ordinary significance is the National Student Conference to be held at Milwaukee during the Christmas holidays.
Leaders in student Christian work are frankly admitting failure to attract the interest of the American students. The Student Christian movement has met defeat in trying to permeate the whole of college life spiritually, intellectually and sozially.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
College students throughout America are far more interested in almost every other phase of their environment than in the student Christian programs. Apparently it has become the accepted thing upon coming to college to leave behind all contacts a religious character. At heart all of us, even the most outspoken of radicals, retain a religious nature, but so far its awakening has not been brought about. This fact the leaders are now facing.
It has been proposed that the ultimate solution depends upon a comparatively small group of students who will be willing to leave off half their nonseasonal campus activities and turn to a practice of the Jesus of Jesus. Thinking students must replace the sugar-coated religious attitude of the past; "peaceful penetration" has failed and must give place to a group confident that the Christian principles are effective applied to actual life, even on a college campus.
That is the problem before the National Student Conference at Millwakee.
Psychic messages say Ruddhapal Valentina invites to the legitimate stage Why not play the role of Hamlet's father?
A WARNING
A word of warning might be passed out among students and faculty members to the effect that they tie strings to any hats, coats, slickers, or even fountain pens and watches that they chance to leave for a few minutes, on desk, table or counter. Like magic, these coatse and hats seem to fly away the moment a student walks to the library desk for a book, or sits down in a cafe to drink a coke.
A string attached would enable the owner to follow his lost articles and perhaps bring it back, safely recovered. He might even discover some of the belongings of others which have been lost or strayted.
Of course one would hate to intimate that any of these things had been stolen. There was a whisper that an organized group of petty thieves wore working among the students, but it was quickly silenced. Such things aren't being done this season. One student who has lost three slackers, an overcoat and a hat, might disagree with that statement, but it stands.
It is hard for any of us to believe that students with whom we are associating every day would stoop deliberately to steal. Perhaps they don't. But things at present are not right at the University. Of course there are only a few students who are thieves, but they can work a lot of
mischief before public opinion finally deals with them.
In the meantime, it will pay to be careful. If each of us guards all his own belongings closely, it will be harder for any petty pilfering to tak place, and this may in time discourage age those who are making a habit o practising it.
ARE OUR FRATERNITIES DOOMED?
What is to be the resort of fraternities who fail to draw athletes, now that "Cookie Dusters" have been pronounced the bane of college life? Are they to continue in existence on the campuses of our great American Universities unbelieved and obese?
Yes, something must be done, according to Rev. Boyd Edwards, head master of Hill school, who addressed the delegates to the inter-fraternity conference in New York Saturday. Too many of our fraternities have "Milko" members and no real men. To quote the revered gentleman verbatim, "The cooskin coat, soft leather chairs, waiters and 'bide' to house parties, by eminent hostesses in towns near colleges, threaten the hardiness of the modern University man."
The Reverend Mr. Edwards has a good idea, perhaps. But he fails to provide a program for fraternities who have no athletes. If Y, M, C, A, charity work, party "bibs" and dinner invitations are to be replaced by athletes, how are all the members of our Greek letter organizations going to succeed in getting in their two activities?
The bona master has taken the attitude of an engineer who belonged to one of the national fraternities on one of our neighboring camps in the late nineties. The discussion in the weekly chapter meeting and centered around the question of whether the two brass cupidators should be removed from in front of the library fireplace.
"You follow are getting to be a bunch of stories." the engineer member administered. "If the capsules are removed, I'll move out of the house." The following week he moved his possession to a roaming house on the other side of town. Fortunately, no other members saw the situation in the same light and the fraternity was saved.
It is to be hoped that the fraternities on Mi. Orend do not take the "Cookie Duster" situation too seriously. Perhaps our Greek letter organizations can be preserved, even though all the members do not carry revolvers or chew Climax.
Chaumeey M. Depew says stomachaches were popular when he was a boy. How customs do change?
At the Concert
In spite of the elap board sounds of the not too stable stage the ballet was effectively presented. Pavley appeared in this number as the Youth, the Maiden, Day, Evening, Night, the Malachi, the Moon and the Moon assembled.
The Pavley-Oukramsky ullet with
Andrew Pavley opened last evening's
program with the ballet, "The Dance
in which the entire group appeared.
The Ballet
"Nymphs at Play," four women with silver sphere, was one of the most effective groups of the program; the story of the reporting woman, but not of those who did not snow the legend, "The Blue Danube," another of the most gracefully presented numbers was slightly spotted by the red bathtubs soils. Too many character dances for the shortness of the program.
The Torch Dance, which closed the program, was superb. The stiffness noticed in other numbers disappeared and in the audience caught the true form of the dance. In a similar form, such as arm positions or sudden jerkiness, which did not appeal to
Pauley's sally, n Hindu dance, was a spectacle giver a distinctly oriental impression, although one wondered if the dancer would be able to retain his pedestal when his lags shook. The atmosphere was ruined when he leaped from his dais to receive the applause of the crowd. He would have been more effective had the dancers not seemed so eager for the expressed appreciation.
Those young women who signed up to play for gymnastium classes are requested to report to the gymnasium office at once.

the audience, were probably characteristics of the Pauley school. It was surprising , and pleasant to see so much long hair at once.
The Opera
To some the climax turned into a terrible anti-climax. To others it was the last straw. Certainly it was unfortunate. Despite the handlebars and shortcomings, there was a certain tragedy which was lost in the finale.
A man with a coat off, in a Americain, in a Japanese background stringing with the curtain. An exasperated "let or go" audible to the audience. A little damsel heroine, attempting to get rid of her distracted director for a final curtail call while a snail Lawrence audience was putting on its coats and not being cared much about seeing the American, trotting back with the curtain.
Tamaki Miura was a true little reisha, and was the center of attention not only on account of her voice, but also on account of the charm with which she lived. A number of her ariaes were particularly effective. Radamysk as Yanuia had a fine quality of tenor voice, and in this respect was adequate support for the soprano parts he did not portray having arently enough to anyone not knowing the story.
The Daymie was a blustering villain
when it came to action, but when it came to voice there was little support. Somehow we expected a big voice that shake the timber of the gymnasium and blow out the drunk, at least very drunk. He might have had enough to make him feel bold and rash. But perhaps Yiro were much less than the college student to be drunk.
On the whole the music was good, the principals had good voices, and the orchestra was particularly fine in the ballet as well as the opera. The music of the opera was charming, and the ballet was good presentation. On the other hand, the program vendor that programs were necessary to appreciate the story of the opera. We did not expect the words to be distinct, but we did hope that the plot could be followed in the actions. In this respect, Joseph Gavaire as Kojoiro must be commended. His work was a masterpiece, and his voice was good.
But still a basketball goal hung, a la American, over the stage. And we are still wondering just what the effect would be if an auditorium, instead of a gymnasium, were used. It is asking too much of an opera company to do its best on an improvised stage on a basketball court. It may be a little late, but we are going to put another team behind us more thankful—that the next opera company to come to Lawrence can be assured of an auditorium.

IT'S THE CUT OF YOUR CLOTHES THAT COUNTS ;
The Overcoat for Fall by Society Brand
Many young men tell us this is exactly their idea of what an overcoat should be. A style that's loose and easy enough for comfort, with just enough shaping to give a very dressy effect. You'll like it best in the smoother finished fabrics, in subdued shades and weaves. We have some fine ones; warm, serviceable—rich looking.
