Third Prize Winning Comed.

Clever Lines and Finished Act ing Made Hit With Au-
"A Regular Prince," the third prize winning play written by William Brehm, was produced by a cast from the senior class at the Bowcock Theater last night. The play was enusatisfactorily received by a lrg 19th-century audience and developed and clever lines and by a play kept the crowd laughing.
**Armenia** Rubmerger as Babette Lawton was one of the distinct successes of the play. Miss Rubmerger $h_a$ appeared in several college productions in the past, but never with more charm and spontanily than she showed in her role last night. The scenes were particularly effective.
Margaret Matthews as the enterprising newspaper reporter and Irene Boyer as the "movie-struck" college girl showed their usual ees and grace in the handling of skilful orientations are always clearly and skillfully delineated and her work last nig t it was excused. Miss Boyer was seen in a young girl's part last night for the first time in college productions, and she demonstrated that she can play well in a group setting ("olderly indy" part), she has taken
The prince himself was played by "Gus" Lautenbach, also a well-known college actor of ability. His comedy was at all times discriminately worked out. One of the best pot to $i$ Mr. Lautenbach's acting is his excellent facial expression, and in his role as the King, he makes one of it. His scene with Ms. Matthews in the third act was especially well done.
The play was full of clever c-medials, and one of them was John Anthony Pendleton, Jr., as played by the actors who had a new comedy star by critics in the audience last night. His work was one of the bright spots of the play. Other good comedy parts were directed by Albert Shaver and Phil Darby.
Harold Dietrich and John Old played the roles of young college men in a creditable manner. Although not experienced actors, these players carried their parts with enthusiasm and a degree of skill. Loneil Mineer was also a rolemate, with the velu mast quasering as the prince was convincing. His foreign acent was consistent, and his stage presence good. Jessie Tindale as his wife made only one short appearance, but solved several tangles in her short time on the stage. She took her role in her usual distinctive and capable performances, the part of a young college girl played a small part creditably.
While "A Regular Prince" did not have as heavy a plot as those in "The Mechanical Man," and "It's a Great Life," Mr. Brohm's former prize winner, played the roles of lines and laughable situations. Considered as an amateur play written and produced by amateurs, it was a distinct triumph. The coaches, Miss Pearl Osborne and Prof. Arthur Maccue, deserve great credit for its success.
The deadline for signing up for the handball tournament, which will be held the first part of May, is Wednesday April 26, Coach C. B. Patrick announced this morning. Any man wishing to enter the tournament can sign up on the bulletin board in the gym. Only sixteen men have signed so far, nine from the College, six from the School of Engineering, and one from Graduate School. The schedule will be made and posted Thursday, April 27.

Two new courts have been made at the east end of the basketball floor, 50 that the contestants will not have to wait for a turn to play. Gold and silver medals will be given to the winner and runner up. "Pete" Reedy will be the official referee for the matches.
C. M. Fasset, Municipal Consultant of the University, has gone to Concordia for the purpose of organizing a new chamber of commerce. He will speak before the business men of that town today.
American Legion Wants Boxers and Wrestler
The American Legion boys are anxious to secure boxes and wrestler in the University who will enter matches with the boxers and wrestlers of the Dominion Carnival Company showing here this week. The team has given this week on Lawrence four grounds by the American Legion.
GRADUATE MAGAZINE
IS OFF THE PRESS
All men who will enter these events are requested to report to the Athletic tent on the ground or call R. G. Ziesen, at 1023. Mr. Ziesen reports that the boxers and wrestlers are all good clean men and if a fair exhibition is put up the athletes will be well paid for their work.
Two Jayhawks And a Pirate Feature Cover of Alumni Periodical
The Graduate Magazine, official publication of the University of Kansas Alumni Association, is off the press and the University of Kansas to "grads" and former students.
On the cover are two Jayhawks and a Pirate. Specifically, they are Captain Joe Bloomer and Coach "Poty" Clark of the University baseball nine, who are starting on another championship race for the Valley pennant, and Fred Clarke, former manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Another interesting feature is a cut from an old Oread Magazine of November, 1900, demonstrating how a fair dandelion of those days sawng at the tee encumbered by yards and yards of superfluous skirts.
The "Scope of the Memorial Campaign." Will Takes Ever Come Down" and "Action on K. U. Diamond and Track" are a few of the snappy articles which complete the issue.
Is the Way Kansas Men Will Be Transported
ESTES PARK VIA CARAVANS
In its March issue, the Graduate Magazine printed a full list of the names of the "lost" graduates of the University, with the request that any one who identifies his or her name or names so listed would send in $n$ to the Alumni office. The response was spontaneous. So, under the head, "I Was a Wandering Sheep," the association has printed this statement that comes in from $f_{m}$ coast to coast.
An automobile caravan will transport the greater number of the men who will attend the Estes Park Conference. The Estes Park, Colorado, June 9 to 10.
The cars will meet at various points doing the U. P. Trail. On the second lay out all Kansas men will be as assistance, and three or four days will be required o make the trip. In this way every man from Kansas will get to know he other Kansas men before reaching the national program for the conference.
Programs will be arranged for the assing of the evenings while enroute o the conference. Possibly a parachl will be staged when the caravan caches Denver. If so the cars will be decorated with K. U. banners.
"It is hoped," said Laurence Walworth, act secretary of the Y. M. C. A., "that forty or fifty cars will woke the trip."
M. H. McKean, state secretary o. Topeka, will promote the plan in other colleges of Kansas.
"This plan will offer the men oppo- tunities to satisfy their craving for adventure," said Mrs. Waltworth.
Those who are unable to make the trip with the caravan will go by train. Round trip fare will be $37.50, if they go by rail, whereas the trip may be made for about $20 if made overland by auto.
Kansan Will Feature Rhadamanthi's Poetry
P poetry from Rhadamanthi, the poetry writing club of the University, will be an occasional feature of the paper page according to Eulaila Dougherty.
Poems of every type are turned in at the meetings of Rhadamanthi, and are kept on file. The club has offered to furnish the Kansan with material for a poetry corner in its edifice. Poets who wish will use the club archives also, according to the editor of the publication.
A K. U. dance was given during the Easter holidays at the Jack O'lantern hall in Kansas City under the auspices of the Priers Club.
Fate of New Document For W. A. A. to Be Decided April 31
K. U. WOMEN TO VOTE ON NEW CONSTITUTION
WILL VOTE IN ROBINSON
Movement Is Outgrowth Athletic Conference at Boulder
The new proposed constitution for Women's Athletic Association will be voted upon in the Gymnasium Monday, April 31, at 12:30 o'clock, according to Nestor Moore, manager of the Gym and representative from W. S. G. A.
"The need for a new constitution here was very evident at the sectional conference of the Athletic Conference of American College Women, held in Boulder last week," Miss Moore said. "Of the twenty-nine schools referred there, Kansas was the only one which hadn't closed membership. We were advised almost to the point of command to remedy this."
By closed membership, Miss Moore explained, is meant the requirement of 125 points in the department and of an average scholastic standing of "c." These requirements are included in the proposed constitution. Also members will become inactive upon two consecutive unexcused absences or non-payment of dues, which will be increased to a dollar a year.
Officers under the new constitution will be President, Vice-president, Business Manager, Secretary, Treasurer, and Sports Manager. The office of a sports manager will replace one sports manager will replace the appointment of a manager for each sport. Only active members with 200 points will be eligible for office. Officers will be nominated by a nominating committee with not less than three candidates for the position that will be held the second week in April.
A change in the swaters awarded for athletic events is another phase of the new constitution. Eight hundred points will merit a gray sweater with a crimson "K" within a U, instead of the "A3" previously given, and the winner of 1,000 points will receive a white sweater with the same emblem. The winner will be entitled to wear association colors, which are crimson and gray.
Wichita, April 24—With at least one believed dead, cloudbursts and heavy rain throughout western and central Kansas have sent many streams to flood stage and the territory. Their courses is being threatened.
An advisory board, composed of the staff of the physical education department and the medical adviser for women, is provided for.
"the new constitution is adopted," Miss Moore said, "Kansas W. A. A. will be classed among the better parts of the national organization. The students, women, and women, as evidenced by the numbers coming out for class events, caused the decision at a special board meeting Saturday that a new constitution is necessary. The constitution is modeled after those of the more highly educated country, and its adoption would assure the vital interest of the members."
The constitution is posted on the bulletin board of the gym. If adopted, it will go into effect after September 1, 1922.
MEMORIAL DRIVE BY MAIL
An interesting feature of the K U. Memorial Campaign is the "mail campaign" which the corporation is just initiating. The response has been excellent so far. Monday morning three contributions were received from Colorado, Arizona, and California, totaling $250.
The man believed dead is Jesse Waggoner, a farmer, living near Kinsley, who tried to give warning of rising water to neighbors.
Mr. Harry E. Clark, Jr., c'19, is in the real estate business at Kansas City.
E. H. Lindley, chancellor of the University, will speak at the Ottawa, High School auditorium on the evening of May 1. The Glo Club of the University is calling for the purpose of entertaining the assemblage and bringing back to the ears of the "Grade" and former students of the流畅 strains of music from K.U. songs. The affair will be of officially known as "K. U. Night."

R.O.T.C. CHALLENGES HASKELL TO A FIGHT
But It'll be Only a Sham Battle on the Campus West of the Stadium
Artillery, barrages, infantry attacks, and the explosion of blank cartridge will feature the sham-battle of the University Reserve Officer Training Corps with the Indians of Haskell Institute; to be fought on the campus west of the Stadium and in the Potter Lake basin on May 24. An exhibition of wall-scaling will also be given.
The Indians, according to Maj. H. D. Bardick, commandant, will take up a position of defense in this glorious "battle of Ovred Heights" beaten by the Brown's and the Institute. The Kansas boys will attack the entrenched enemy after a preliminary artillery barrage, and try to dislodge the Brown's according to the theory which they have learned in the classroom.
Black cartridges will fill the magazines of the Syrphin fieldpill, making the probability of casualties of minimum importance, and the artillery defense against a heavy powder, placed at strategic points, to be set off at the critical moment by a system of wires. The explosion of bombs and shells is promised to be as available as possible, and the firepower will be the official muzzle of the battle.
"The entire University is invited," said Major Burick this morning, "An excellent view o' the struggle may be obtained from' the hill immediately behind the Administration Buildings. Of course, we expect our guests to stay on the 'side lines' and not venture into 'No Man's Land.'"
Haskell Institute has not as yet replied to the military department's pronouncement for the battle, but it is expected that they will accept.
ENTERTAINMENT FOR EDITORS
Organizations Requested to Entertain Newspapermen
Arangements are being made to entertain the Kansas Editors who will be in Lawrence Friday, May 5, to attend the Kansas Editorial Association convention, in much the same way that they have been cared for in previous years by the different sorority, fraternity and other organization houses.
These organizations are reporting now to Professor Flint, the number each house can accommodate. About 250 editors will be present. Many are bringing their wives along, they have informed Professor Flint.
It is a matter of student history that the last time the editors were here, the attendance records for the next day's classes were badly shattered, as the men in the different houses stayed up late the night before going the inside story of Kansai newspaper from these men of varied experiences," he said. "We don't want to hurt the attendance records at the University, but we want to entertain the editors royally this year."
