ENGINEERS OF TODAY
LACK LITERARY SIDE
They Were Better Trained Forty Years Ago Said Dean M. E. Cooley
PRAISE FOR DEAN MARVIN
Speaker is Touring the Country in Interest of Engineering in Universities
"The engineer of today is not as broad or as well educated as the engineer of forty years ago. He is better trained in the field of engineering and knows more of the technical side of engineering, but he is lacking in the literary and classical side," Dana M. E. Cooley, President of the Fell-Back American Engineering Societies, and began his career at Arbor, said in his talk before the engineers this morning in Marvin Hall.
Dean Coley is touring the country in the interest of engineering in the universities.
He said in his address that he considered Dean Marvin one of the greatest engineers and that the Kansas Engineers should feel proud to have the opportunity of attending a school made famous by such a man.
"The engineer today knows how to make the dollar, but he does not know how to spend it. He knows one line and that only. There are twenty-five branches of engineering now where they should only own one thing—an invention in which the whole offort being put on the technical and none on the classical."
Dean Coley told of his experiences while President of the A. I. E. E and the need of modern languages in the day life of the American Engineer.
Two Masqueraders Found R. C
T. C. Party Serious Affair
THREE HOUR DANCE COSTLY
Six months in jail and a $300 fine might be the cost of three hours of jazz music and a military bearing for two university students, whose names are being withheld from publication, if Uncle Sam's law is carried to the farthest extent. Such is the statement from the military office.
Last Friday evening the R. O. T. C. gave its annual military hop—not a masquerade. But two young men, in no way connected with the unit, seeing the possibilities of the uniforms, donned the blue whip-cord and cordovan belt, assumed cadet bearing, and attended the dance. It is not known whether two modern Cinderellas accompanied them. However, discovery resulted and by his bravery the dance had turned to a more sombre situation, overspread by the long arm of the law.
Maj. J. H. D. Burdick, commander of the unit, said today that the offenders were to be granted the choice of publicly apologizing to the unit in writing, or to allow the law to take its legal course. One has already complained that the unit will be read before the assembled unit. If such cases are presented in the future, Major Burdick says the legal proceedings will be pushed.

Season
IS SECOND APPEARANCE
Comes Here Under the Auspicee of the MacDowell Fraternity

Her singing has never proven to be monotonic, for she interprets her selections with a careful shading that hows skilled control and use of her voice. She possesses all the sweetness which has power, together with a pleasing personality.
Mrs. Cowden arrived in Lawrence this noon and reports that her voice is in excellent shape for this evening's concert. She has appeared during the past two years with the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra and took part in the American Legion ovation tendered Marsh Foch and Genetti Pershing at Convention Hall in Kansas City, Iowa; Ms. Cowden was also attended at the festival last spring, singing the soprano part in the "Messiah."
The MacDowell Fraternity feels quite fortunate in securing such an artist as Mrs. Cowden and expects a large audience at this evening's concert. Tickets will be sold at the door in order to accommodate those who have not been able to secure tickets beforehand.

"THE BIG IDEA" GOES ACROSS WITH A BANG
First Dramatic Club Play of the Year Was a Decided Triumph
ALL PARTS WELL CAST
Margaret Matthews and David Sheffrey Carried Difficult Arts Ably
"The best college play in years." This was the comment on the Hill today about the Dramatic Club production of *Bowes* theater Monday night.
The play was performed by a brilliant cast, every member of which handled his role with skill. Unusual situations and difficult transitions were carried out with almost professional touch.
The acting of Margaret Matthews and David Sheffrey, who played the leading roles, made the play the success it undoubtedly was. Miss Matthews work was clean cut and spontaneous. Her appearance last night was a distraction she was playing as she played the leading title role in "Mrs. Goringe's Neckace" last year, and made as great a success of an entirely different type of character. Mr. Sheffrey, also an experienced actor in University plays, who played the lead role in "Goringe's Neckace" last year, carried his heavy part in a splendid manner.
In the role of Dick Howard, the young man placed in the dilemma of committing suicide to save his family from disgrace, his interpretation was powerful and convincing. His voice work was particularly effective.
There were many other fine-cut characterizations in the play. Julius Holmes, as the irate Mr. Byrne,打动了 a comedy part in a good, peppy show, and is rewarded by a good hand at the end of a big scene with Miss Matthews.
Gus Lauterback as the life insurance agent did excellent work and added materially to the comedy effects of the play. Mr. Lauterback is an actor of considerable finish, particularly in parts of this type.
A remarkable feature of the play was the general excellence of the very small parts. Lathrop Read, as the sick father, did some fine character work. His gun play with Mr. Sheffrey was particularly skillful. Mr. Read also acted as property man for the company. Melinda Emmett, in a young girl's part, was pretty and vivacious. Irene Boyer took the role of a minister and many gracefully. Cliff Pugh and William Teupker as members of the theatrical managow's office force, had small parts but performed them well. Elise Frisbie is the maid, added a charming bit to the play.
Howard Haines is the theatrical manager did some clever acting in his appearance in the last act, although he was possibly not as well cast as other members of the company. Mr. Haines has had considered personal experiences, and made an excellent showing in his part, however.
The audience, although appreciative,
was entirely inadequate for the pro-
cession. It was the play. Play.
It was the smallest house in several
years at such a performance.
