Committee
The entertainment committee, consisting of Virginia Pendleton, chairman, Phyllis Reynolds, Marriott Stubbs, Lloyd Hamilton, and J. B. Engle will judge the best stunt, "We do not want a playlet," said Virginia Pendleton in speaking of the proposed stunt. "We prefer something in the musical line, probably a jump out of the box to be smicky, happy, and entertaining. To aid in keeping down the expense of the party, it should be planned so that it can be given on the stage constructed for the orchestra.
Troubles for the stunt to be given at the all-University party slated for Oct. 26 will be held Monday, Oct. 15, at the Little Theater in Green hall, from 8:00 until 10:00 in the theater. Students are required program for a University party, and those in charge expect it to be popular.

We want this to be the best party of the year," said Miss Agnes Husband. "You will be the largest, for all visiting Daena and students from Manhattan will be there. The group of students who are chosen to give this stunt will receive a signal honor."

The program will contain several other numbers, but this will be the feature of the evening.
Autoists Still Careless
Students Have Accidents or Fort-to-Fort

American Tenor Attribute His Success to Teacher, Achille Alberti of California

"I have heard a number of temos," said Miss Louise Miller, a teacher voice in the School of Fine Arts, a school founded by Charles did not, only in their singing, but in stage presence a 4 approach to the audience as an artist, aside from pure vocal ability.

Students Earn Admission
Thirteen students are trying to learn their admission by selling ten tickets. Heronfer, according to Dean D. M. Swartwhist, will be a regular feature of the ticket sale durin- has last week before the first recital.

Public Opinion Wants Stricter Enforcement of Prohibition--Hill
K. U. Alumni Secretary Compares U. S. Problem With That of Kansas in 1883
That the federal government has the same problem in enforcing prohibition as Kansas had forty years ago, is the comparison which Alfred G. Hill, alumni secretary of the university, makes in an article in this monthly volume. It says that the Academy of Political and Social Science. Public sentiment in favor of stricter prohibition will be slow, but the issue is not doubtful.
"When federal prohibition went to effect," Hill writes, "it was generally admitted that enforcement of state prohibition was more effective."
Kansas had been advancing steadily for almost forty years, by means of drastic laws in prohibition enforcement. The right of drug stores to handle liquor was taken away. Court officers were given inquisition rights which enabled them to obtain evidence. Replaced vitors of prohibition law were given penitentiary sentences. Finally the "Bone Dry" act which made possession of liquor evidence of violation of the liquor laws. All these steps were the result of public opinion.
Government prohibition has changed the Kansas problem. Stills were not used in Kansas until federal prohibition. Before that, bootlegged liquor came from neighboring states. After that, the governor has taken the place of the imported and has given rise to the statement that the congregation of liquor in Kansas has increased under federal enforcement. Hill assists that this was not the case at any point since the months of federal enforcement when the officials were not prepared to meet the problem.
A broad grin and a sugar-coated doughnut—these two features distinguished 1200 K U. students, who were fortunate enough to pass in front of Snow Hall this morning between 9:00 and 9:30.
Vanished Doughnuts Leave Sugary Grins
No, it wasn't a pre-mature celebration of Mother's Day, though the doughnuts were the "kind that mother used to make." Rather, it was the after-math of the parade that didn't take place.
The Chamber of Commerce, undaunted by the damp weather on Saturday, had 100 dozen doughnuts baked. When the parade was postponed, even the Chamber of Commerce couldn't consume 1200 doughnuts heading to C.I.S. Secretary, who the doughnuts to the hill.
A terrific onuslaight followed. With no respect for senior dignity, even those wearing freshman caps joined in the struggle. In ten minutes nothing but the holes in 120 doughnuts remained, but during the entire morning, there were 1200 broad, sugary grins brightening our campus.

H. H. Lane Discusses Question of Evolution at Lutheran Church
Is First of Series of Lectures to Be Given Upon This Subject
"Conflict centering about the question of evolution is not a struggle between science and religion, but rather science and theology," said Dr. Lane of the University of zoology at the university given the Trinity Lutheran Church last Sunday evening. Doctor Lane is the first of a number of speakers who will lecture on the subject "Science and Religion." in a series of Sunday evening talks. Prof. W. H. Shoowe, director of the library, will be the next speaker. Oct. 14.
"G wrote two books—the Bible, and Nature," said Doctor Lane. "If it is logical to suppose that these writings will contradict one another?" Science is descriptive in nature, while religion and philosophy are interrelated. Yet science occurs when the two occupations are mixed, as that resulting from the outburst of a philosophic scientist. On the other hand, trouble also is caused by people who do not differentiate between the hypothesis of a scientist and his proved facts. "The hypothesis," said Doctor Lane. "I am confused with the finished product as found in the facts."
Doctor Lane pointed out that history marks six significant "struggles between science and theology, the majority of which are now ascribed almost theoristly to theologian. These contexts include the questions of the earth's shape, the earth as center of the solar system, Newton's law of gravity, the antiquity of the earth and of man, and the proverb "the earth is a book." Doctor Lane is the author of a late book called "Science and the Christian Faith."
