"Are East Word in style"
"The costumes for the play are the last word in style in fashionable, fashionable people in the New York suburban home of a well-to-do business man, and they are all very lovely," betty Sifers Friday morning.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANBAS. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1927
The costumes are all spring and summer clothes, and include sport gowns, afternoon frocks, and evening gowns, according to Miss Sifers. A great deal of time has been devoted to their selection, and they will lend a very pretty effect to the presentation.
Stage Settings to be Attractive
Sam Weatherby, stage manager,
assisted by Donald Gordon, Ellia
Beaver, and Willard Hawkinson,
is working hard to make the stage set-
ings attractive. The suburban home of
Dulley and her husband in Weston is the
place of action throughout the play.
The plot concerns a week-end party which the dumb-bell heroine has planned for her husband without considering the congeniality of the guests. This leads to many ludicrous and almost disastrous situations.
Rehearsals are being held every day, and a dress rehearsal will be held the Bowersock theatre Sunday evening.
The Mo Phi Alpha orchestra will furnish music during the intermissions. There will be no special ties.
Ghosts Are Hosts at Midnight Party
The fourth floor hall was dark dark as a moonless night. At the head of the stairs, a dim outline of
Hallowen! ' The mystic hours of midnight! Ghosts gliding through the corridors of Corbin Hall, summonment for a horrible frolic "by the west stairs and haste ye!!" Ghosts with long white clawlike fingers, ghosts with burning eyes peering forth, ghosts with claws for the celebration, the summertime for the festivities.
figure could be discerned, but the tower part of the face loomed whitely against the Styrian blackness of the scene. The apparition greeted each guest with a cold, clammy handsake and motioned to the left.
Through a doorway covered by a wet sheet went the crowd, gripping and squealing, into a dimly lit chamber. More ghosts! Into a darker room still, where skeletons rattled their bleached bones and a soul in agony cried forth from some unknown quarter of the room. There was the old witch who rides in the sky, who is the very Al Saint's eye—drawing cider from a barrel spigot. And doughnuts! The party waxed merrier and merrier.
A tremendous explosion occurred near midnight, somewhere north of Corbin hall. Residents for a radius of seven miles have been injured. However, no injuries or damage were reported, so the general opinion is that the goblins and witches that are active at Halloween are responsible for the commotion. The hour passed only too swiftly, by which the ghosts and guests alike went sleepy to bed to dream of sprites and goblins.
Clarence Huber, '126, was elected secretary-treasurer of the first year law class at a class meeting held Monday. Approval of the system was required by the student council election constituted the business.
Rooming House Owners Want Year Contracts
Matrons of rooming houses met in Fraser hall Wednesday afternoon for informal discussion of rooming house problems.
Under the direction of Mrs. D. D. Spenser, president of the committee, it was resolved to ask the co-operation of University authorities in forwarding the plan of having yearly contracts for rooms signed by the students. These contracts would, they decided, prevent undue moving and consequent disturbance on room assignments. They would also be guarantees of income to those depending on roomers for a livelihood.

Also, if all the students will buy now the 1900 mark will be reached early, and another 50 cents will be paid to that amount will be made just as soon as the 1900 books are sold."
Editor Frank W. Rising said this morning, "the that 1924 Jayhawker will be much different from last year's book, in that it will contain the same page features for printing. It will have a sixteen or thirty-two page feature called "Activities," in which will be featured in two colors the out-of-the-ordinary activities of the Hill. A forty or fifty-page humor section is promised."
