Future Doctors Found Honorary Medical Society
Twelve Charter Members In K. U.'s Newest Professional Organization, Alpha Omega
Alpha Omega, an honorary pre-medical society for the university of Kansas, was founded Saturday, November 11. Twelve charter members, selected by faculty recommendation, were initiated.
D. Bruege Williams was elected president; J. Tinder Woodbury, vice president; and Howard Snyder, secretary treasurer. The other charter menns are Carl Brust, K. E. Cenkin and Thomas O'Connell. M. Whittaker, John D. Green, L. L Woodin, Laurence L. Howard, and Vern Ross.
To Encourage Interest in Work
The purpose of the organization is to make the pre-medic feel that he is an integral part of the University, and to keep alive his interest in medical science. The founding of the organization is the result of a year's planning by D. E. Joly, instructor in the department where the organization depends upon faculty recommendations which take into account character and personality as well as grades.
Flections will be held after the beginning of each semester. No pledge can be initiated into full membership before the beginning of his second year of pre-medical work. During the intervening period he is a probationary member, and must continue to do a high grade of work.
Will Meet Every Two Weeks
Meetings will be held every two weeks. An intensive study of the history of medicine will make up a large part of the programs. At least once each semester the organization will hold "open-house."
In speaking of Alpha Omega the chancellor said, "The founding, of such an organization is indeed a capital idea. It will receive at least the moral support of the entire University."

Petrova To Present The White Peacock With Original Cast
Play Coming to Bowersock November 23, Evokes Favorable Comments
After an entire season in New York and after playing in leading cities throughout the country, one of the most-talked-of stage plays of the curry-cook's career will be presented in Lawrence on November 23. It is talked of not only because of Madame Petrova who stars in the play—and her acting, but because "America's adopted daughter," is the author of the play
Press reports on the play have attested to the strength and beauty of production. One metropolitan daily newspaper reported that Madame Petrova, said, "The sheer brilliance of the lines bear witness to her writing talent which, with her knowledge of the mechanics of life, gives me a note from her pen in the future."
The author appears in the role of Revette, a woman who has become disgusted with her husband's infidelity and decides to leave him to live as her conscience dictates. Revette's husband comes to her studio when she learns that he was dead at the same time a fictive recently escaped from prison takes refuge there, band and falls in love with her model, how the wife defends her ruthless husband and falls in love ifh his model, and how she ultimately sacrifices herself for three good acts, culminating in an unexpected conclusion.
Supporting Madame Petrova in the cast will be seen Mitchell Harris, Robert Brister, H. H. McCullum, Lela Walters, Ludmila Torteka, Doris Carpenter, Messinger Bellis, Judson Langil, and Nicholas Nelson. We need to play at the Bowercock on November 7, but is tardy due to an operation which Madame Petrova had to undergo.
Fighting Parson" Blacknun, of Chanute will speak at the Y. M.C.A noonday lunchen Thursday, November 16. at 12:20'clock in Myers Hall
Madame Petrova is not a novice playwright. Very early in life she learned that it was imperative to write as she liked and as she believed, while the necessity of winning bread and butter must be relegated to commercial pursuits. Journalism was Petrova's first calling, and she began her professional career as a reporter, the first woman on the staff of a London paper, at a salary of a pound a week—the cumulative sum of five dollars in American taxes. Because she offered more remunerative inductions and she saw the chance of writing her thoughts as she pleased for stage work, Madame Petrova left journalism work and went on the stage.
This lunchroom should be one of the best of the fall series from all reports and will undoubtedly be attended by a large crowd. Tickets are available for each, at the Y. M. C. A. office in Myers Hall and by students.
