Fifteen Candidates Initiated To W.A.A. Yesterday Afternoon
New Members Entertain Old Ones With Stunts, Songs And Spread
Gladys Snyder, Bonnie Ramey, Louise Phillips, and Margaret Walker were in charge of the program for the initiation of the new members. A torture room through which the new members had to grope their way was set up. A video demonstration program. After the initiation all the members took part in a spread.
The initiation of the fifteen new members of the Women's Athletic Association who were taken into the organization December 6, 1922, was held yesterday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium. At a short meeting prior to the initiation program, Jean Coffin, c23', was awarded her gray sweater and extended an inactive membership to W. A. A. due to her cancer treatment. Marie Wilson, c25', was also extended an inactive membership to the organization as it is impossible for her to attend the meetings.
The members being initiated, under the direction of Vera Krebbiel, entertained the old members with stunts and tricks, and sang to a song rendered by Miss Krebbiel.
The women initiated were: Pauline Holiday, Alice Eckel, Louise McClough, Cornelia Eckel, Iris Arnold, Dorothy Barter, Josephine Lantz, Cecil Fenner, Elelen Hansan, Lila Snyder, Vern Krebber, Muriel Wolf, Jeanette Strickler, Mabel Ludeman, and Nevada Talhelm.

Innocent Freshmen Eliminate Tradition
No longer does one dare to say "Hello, Professor," to everyone on the campus who carries a brief case. No longer is that familiar object one of distinction. "Everybody doing it." In other words, they have been particularly kind to freshmen.
Everywhere you turn you find the little bag, once an emblem of knowledge, power, and authority, degraded by the careless hands of the simple frosh—he who little knows or long remembers the loving care and devotion which it once was wont to receive.

Experts Speculate On Rapid Rise of Radio And Effect On Established Institutions
The rapid rise of radio in the last few years has aroused unnatural speculation as to the probable effects of its inevitable development in perfection. The question is now being asked by the more thoughtful of the day, Dr. Robert J. Hill, who ridicules any of our established institutions of today?
If radio can be compared with the development of popular inventions of the past, the theater need have no worry concerning its future so far as radio is concerned. When the phonograph became a reality not so long ago, the end of concerts for piano players played the last ever piano spelled the extermination of the living artist, or at least the end of the piano student. Why should one work for a life time to become a pianist if the roll could do it better? But instead of the phonograph putting an end to concerts and operas, it stimulated the public's desire for more and better artistic creations. The player piano was used in many studies of music generally, and, certainly, far less than the phonograph or player piano can radio ever attempt to transplant the living
theater.
It is the opinion of men who are close observers of the recent developments in radio that the centre is the chief field being invaded; for outside of the purely experimental, governmental and commercial usage, the entertainment value of the wireless medium is its largest appeal.
According to Charles D. Isascan, a reputed expert in matters of entertainment who has written on the subject of radio in the January Theatre magazine, she is more interesting than their pictures or voices. I may telephone to the woman I love and listen to her voice over the wires, and I may lift her photograph and gaze tenderly upon it, but I prefer to be with her.
And if Mr. Isaacson had seen fit to say more on the subject, he might have told us that the sound of the loved one's voice, or the photograph to gaze tenderly upon, only heightened the desire for proximity and less formal association with the origin.
Radio, if we employ our knowledge gained from the past, is a decided friend—not an enemy of the theatre. The broadcasting of things theatrical is stimulating in the hearts and minds of the people a keener sense of theatre than we do. We don't keep people away from the theatre because they might think they can all get the theatre to offer by attending their local concerts. Rather the radio will inspire theatre attendance because the people will have a more intimate desire that of seeing in person the performers. As Mr. Ma, Husainson has said, they will, prefer to be with her herself."
Scotch Comedian Coming
Sir Harry Lauder at Bowersock January 12
Sir Harry Lauder the famous singing comedian, will appear in Lawrence January 12. Mr. Lauder is not only an artist, but is also an individual whom the great of the earth honor. Neither popular nor royalty is his lover of his life; racies, his love for golf, or his devotion to his pipe.
The Scotch comedian runs true to form in his maxims for thrift. Here are some of them:
"Behave toward your purse as you would toward your best friends."
"Dress neatly but not lavishly. A bank pays a higher rate of interest than your back."
"A bank book is better reading than a novel."
"You can sleep better after a hard
day's work than after a hard day's idleness."
Many of Lauder's songs express this idea of thrift. Those who attend his performances, however, discover no lack of generosity in his music, and are more responsive to the requests of his admirers for popular songs.
