Is Chosen by Committee;
Suitability Causes
Discussion
If a senior play is to be given, the senior class officers have decided that the matter will be put entirely in the hands of the Public Speaking
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1923
"We were all very anxious to present an original student play in order that the students might be encouraged," continued Professor Shimn, "but the real point of controversy was just this. Wear did not care to rewrite the play unless he was promised first that it would not cause harm and the demand that not care to give the O. K until it was rewritten."
Two plays were submitted by students, one by Jerry Pewr, c23, and another by Ted Wear, c24. A combo of two plays, a senior class to read and select the play. Two faculty members, Prof. H. A. Shim, department of public speaking, and Prof. F. L. Whitcomb, department of advertising, admiers, met with the committee.
Neither Play Suitable—Shinn
Coach Not Satisfied—Esterly
"The committee came to the conclusion," said Professor Shim, "that neither play as it was written was suitable for production, and due to the fact that the department felt that there was not time enough to rewrite them; and if the play was made or not it could be used to whether or not it could be used, the plays were considered impossible for use."
The play presented by Ted Wen was accepted by the committee according to George Eaterly, chair of the committee, because of objections from the department of Public Speaking it was decided that as far as the committee was concerned there would be no delay in one that hat been chosen was used.
Coach Not Satisfied—Esterly "The coach provided by the University was unwilling to present the play with a serious problem." "So the committee tried to secure the services of another coach, but the department of Public Speaking would not sanction the play and a coach from outside would not handle it under opposition from the department." It was claimed that for an infection play would fail to the department of Public Speaking.
"The senior play committee thought Ted Wear's play good, and with some rewriting could be used successfully, and Prot. F. L. Whitmore conceded that this was equal to that of last year," continued Esterly.

Refunding of Foreign Debt
and Fordney-McCumber
Tariff, Discussed
Two short talks on economic questions of the day by Darius Fleeson c25, and Ruth Lennon, c23, and election of officers for the coming year were the features of the business of the Women's Forum yearday.
The following officers were elected Jessie De Long, president; Catherine Rawlings, vice-president; and Marjorie Day, secretary-treasurer.
"Great Britain is the only country who has made any attempt and who is able to pay her debt," said Mr. Mason, who asked the question. "Is the refunding of foreign debts, provided for in a recent congressional enactment, a solution? It is too recent to see whether it will be sufficient to ensure thatility it will solve the problems."
"The Forde McCumber tariff on the foreign trade of the United States will probably increase prices and thus cause an interference with international trade," said Miss Fleeson when discussing the probable effect of this tariff. "It will hamper Europe's payments to the United States."

Dean Blitz Addresses Kansas Women's Clubs On Standards of 1923
Present Generation Know Duty Only as it Applies to Its Own Self
"Standards of 1923" was the subject of an address made by Dean Amy Dudley Blitz at a meeting of Women's Organization of Women's Clubs last night.
"The keyword in the change of the standards of today is 'duty,'" said Miss Blitz. "Personal satisfaction, friendliness and laid aside by the past two generations in fulfilling their duty," she continued, "but today duty is spoken of only as the duty to oneself. If you want to finish it, it can be of no use to secrecy."
Miss Blitz emphasized the demand of the younger generation for truth, and their intolerance for sham. In concluding, the admonished the older women to remember that material things have brought a corresponding change in social adjustments, and that these adjustments must be made by the older generation as well as the younger one. "The older woman must remember new ones the confidence that goes with the word 'truth,'" she said.
"What is built into a child's nature of ideals and standards is entirely in the hands of those who shape those ideals, the psychologists tell us," said Miss Blitz. "It is only by effort that the child can later change these habits."
