TUESDAY, MARCH 20.1923
You can wear your old bonnet this Easter. It comes on April Fool's day.
YOUR RELIGION
"A pre-Easter call to prayer and reflection" is being issued this week under the direction of the Council of Religious Workers of Lawrence, which includes representatives from each of the churches and from the two Christian Associations at work on the campus.
The movement has been instigated because it is believed that students are apathetic regarding religion and that religion is not allowed its finest expression in the daily life of the student.
Religion is not a matter of denominations and creeds. It is a governing belief and philosophy of life. Without religion to govern the life of the individual, he is left rudderless on the sea of life and without a port of call. Religion is the captain of the soul and no one would expect a ship to sail the seas without a competent pilot in charge. The greatest and most useful life cannot be lived without it.
University students are not irrelious, but many of them do not see its practical applications. Even in the hearts of those who affect disbelief there is a seed of religion, a vague yet compelling conviction of some definite duty to mankind and some relationship to a higher power. Believing this, the Council has set apart this week in which to point out to students way in which they can make their religion work. Religion is worthless unless it works, and nothing has the evangelical power that is exercised by actual demonstrations of what religion can do when it is put to work. The world needs religion that works. The existing religious apathy at the University is not due to lack of religion, but to religion that is not put to work.
European nations that accuse us of being a nation of dollar-chasers, are not unease to asking us to chase a few of them their way.
TROUBLE FOR JOHN BULL
The goal of the Nationalist party of British South Africa is a South African Republic, independent of the British Empire, it was revealed in a debate in the Cape Town parliament recently.
This movement, sponsored by one of the strongest parties in England's African dominion, is indicative of the wave of independent feeling which is sweeping the world. It was evident when the Chinese made an attempt to establish a republican form of government in 1911.
It is evident in Ireland, India, South Africa, Hawaii, and the Philippines today. That time is past when a government felt impelled by pressure of political and economic laws to extend its power, octopus-like, over peoples which were utterly different in creed, purposes, and innate characteristics.
New Britain South Africa is boldly nasserting its right to independence. South Africa's cry is a herald of a great world movement for freedom.
"LIFE IS SWEET"
The Kansas City Academy of Science conducted a rather foolish debate Saturday night. The question was, "In Life Worth Living?" Dr. W, J. Durant took the affirmative; Clarence Darrow, a Chicago attorney, the negative.
"I take life as it comes, because it is a senseless, fool thing that must be lived out because I have sense enough not to do such a musything as put a bullet through my head," was one of Darrow's arguments.
It is doubtful if Darrow has ever been face to face with death. He would not be so tired of life if he had been.
Once there was a soldier who fea
about the same regarding that question
as Darrow. He had "jumpe
off" with his division at the begin-
ning of the Menue-Argonne offe
sive, September 26, 1918, and by the
time he had fought his way through
wire, brush, mud, bullets and shells
for two days, he wondered if death
would not be a pleasant relief from
it all. He was hungry, tired and
cold, and he was mighty tired of
life.
In the cool, rainy dusk of expen-
ber 29, this soldier started to advance
with his battalion from Bauny to
ward Exermont. Just at the edge of
Montrebeau woods he was struck by
a high explosive sheet. He was
knocked unconscious, and his comrades left him for dead, so quietly did he lie. His only sensation was that he was being whirled in utter darkness through the air. He thought he must be dying, and he wondered where he was going.
Suddenly he regained consciousness, and discovered that he was lying in the mud. He tried to move but couldn't. Gradually his strength returned, however, and he was able to bind his own wounds—seven of them. He lay in the mud and rain all day through intermittent shell-fire, until at night he was picked up by three regimental runners and carried back to a field hospital.
Gone forever was that soldier's delusion that life was not worth the living. And all about him in the hospital were men in much worse shape
—men with horrible wounds who were fighting desperately for life. Life under any conditions was infinitely better than death.
This Chicago attorney may have arguments which appear plausible—arguments that even he believes—arguments which tend to show that life is a task instead of a privilege. But if he ever looks across the dark chamea to the gates of death it is likely that his former beliefs will melt like snow.
With all its privations, trial and troubles, life is worth the living.
Organized houses at the University of California have limited bridge playing to fourteen hours a day. This will probably give students an hour or so to study the rules of the game.
The making of friends and the cultivation of acquaintances and social connections have been asserted to be the things that should occupy the attention of the college student. It is argued that the student's academic work is of secondary importance and that the cultivation of influential connections and many friends offers the only true way of realizing on the opportunities of a college course Some members of the faculty encourage the idea.
PURPOSE OF COLLEGE
This is a pernicious theory when pursued to its logical conclusion, for it means the neglect of all academic activities. "Friends and "pull" are important factors in success and may be the means of securing a job. If one is incompetent to hold the position secured through "connections," those connections are useless. One must be fitted to hold down the job, and that fitness is secured through work while in school. Those who are shaping their college lives in the belief that the regular work of the college course is of negligible importance, should realize that "pull" may put one into a job, but cannot hold him there if he cannot deliver the goods.

Although the work of the women of the cast was above reproach, they did not seem to fit especially well the characters they represented. Mabel Moore, as Deadmum, certainly showed how, however, was pleasant and effective. To say that a Shakespeanean drama is more than an entertainment is, of course, a platiude, but the artistry and cultural value found in this piece are so great that for the voicing of a platitude seem permissible.
William Sauter, who played Iago, is a finished actor. His cunning and his knawery was a constant source of delight to those who saw the production. Carrying a part almost as heavy as that of Othello, he prevailed by the way that one of Shakespeare's most difficult characters, the "villain."
There will be an important meeting of Pi Lambda Theta at 7:15 Wednesdy evening in Room 210 Fraser hall.
At The Theater
By Ben Hibbs
The selection of "Othoile" as the season's Shakespearean contribution was a happy one. Theater-goers are always finding opportunities to see works found in the Shakespearean repertoire; but not so well known is "Othoile", and so the more engrossing for the average audience. The tragedy was presented at the Bowersock last night by Walter Hampen
Hampden's conception of the characters he presents is in rather striking contract to some of the older interpretations of those same characters. In Shakespeare's play, for example, and via other actors do not always see, Hampden as Othello and as Hamlet is decidedly more impetuous and agile in his performance than were the older players of those same roles. Whether an actor plays a character or largely a matter of opinion. Some cling to the more stately and signified characters that have long been familiar to Shakespearean devotees; others believe that Hampden has found something that the others missed. A forbidding discovery has discovered the true interpretation. In some of the other roles that the actor plays, a reserve of demeanor might be more fitting, but it is doubtful whether Othello could be too impetuous. A forbidding notion, his is a role for impassioned lines and display of headlong energy.
One does not wander long whence comes Hampden's reputation for being one of the greatest living interpersonal actors, who spirited acting and remarkable voice combine to put into the character he represents that power and personality that make audiences forget the lives of others. Onlyrik of the life portrayed there.

THE days of seeing how fast you can chase a shaving cream cap down the drain pipe are past. For here is a cap that can't get lost. It's hinged on. Think what a lot of minutes it will save. No matter how carelessly you handle your shaving apparatus, the cap is on to stay.
The High Diving Contests Are Over
With a convenience like this cap you might be tempted to use Williams' Shaving Cream whether you cared much for the cream or not. But once you use Williams' you'll like it as well as you do the cap. For Williams' breaks all records for fast softening of the heard. And more
it is good for the skin—soothes it, keeps it in good condition always.
Test a tube of Williams' by judging it on every point you can think of—speed, lather, comfort. See if you don't think it noticeably better.
