Stand for Economy and Friend ship—Each House Self- Supporting
Fifty-two University women who live in co-operative houses this year are learning not only to co-operate, but to live economically, work together harmoniously, and that their total expense per person is from $23 to $30 per calendar month. This is between thirty and fifty percent less than it costs in other houses. For example, the balance sheets of Lakeside show an annual cost of $23 on each bank for each girl, who lived in the house last year.
Cooperative houses stand for two principles, economy and friendship. There are at present operating under University supervision four houses for self-supporting housing are housed by the institution and be purchased. The in-
University Alumni Association, and the University Endowment Association assumed title. Some money was borrowed from the Lawrence Building and Loan Association, some from business and University people here, and some was given by friends interested in the movement.
Rent paid by women living in the houses will pay for them and also interest in the investment in a period of ten years. They will then belong to the University for permanent or self-supporting women's students.
"The co-operative house movement is one of the biggest on any campus. It fills a need that even dominates campus," said Penn Dearne Dudley Blitts. "I dave
These houses are entirely self-sustaining. The business manager and the chaperon have their rooms free of charges, sharing other expenses equally with the women of the house. Two women prepare the principal meals for their board which restructures about three hours a day in the kitchen, in the dining room, and this takes about an hour a day for each woman. The business managers and cooks are selected by the Rooming House Committee.
According to Mrs. F. S. E. Bryant, chairman of the Roaming House Committee the plan works through a spirit of co-operation, and the advantages are that girls are provided with homes and surround themselves with a home atmosphere. Girls who do not need help in its offices would not be in need. "We already have two locations for next year from women who are coming to K. U. for the first time," Mrs. Bryant said.
The women for each house are carefully selected. And all co-operative houses are regularly organized. Pearl Larson, c'24, is president of Lakota, Marie Russell, c'22, of Winnati, Dothern Graves, c'22, of Wankanita, Reba Summit, c'22, of the Ricker Club.

OLCOTT IN "RAGGED ROBIN"
Chaucey Olcott, famous Irish actor, is coming to Lawrence for a one night engagement on Thursday, November 10, in the Irish comedy-drama "Hagged Robin." The play centers about the Irish folklore of a century ago and involves an impromptu portals, is one particularly suited to the genius of this Irish star.
Famous Irish Dramatist Bowersock Thursday
The author of the play is Olcott's wife, Mrs. Rita Olcott in collaboration with Ridh Johnson-Young. As the gayheartedaved vabiond missiress, singing his way through the country, Mr. Olcott scores a big hit in his songs which he sings while winning the help of the faries in his attempt to win the love of Margaret Grattan, whom he meets in his wanderings, is especially compelling. "Sweet Girl of My Dream" is the feature song of the play. It is closely pressed, however, by her love of HL Book and collaging new creation. Both old favorites and new songs are included in the repertoire.
The story, in which the fairy element mingles strongly, tells of Robin who has been disinherited by his father and becomes a minstrel with a noteled gift of song. During his travels, he meets Margaret Gargent and then they become acquaintances. There are incantations, but in the end there is a very unique conclusion which constitutes one of the brightest spots of the play.

In the spring of the year the museum is flooded with cranes, swans and pelicans. Many of these specimens are sent here by people who think the University does come under a taxidem. If it does, we share many times the birds arrive in such a state that nothing can be done with them at all.
Especially would they hasten to disclaim any desire to be an eagle, a hawk, or an owl for this season of the year hardly a day passes but one of these birds is not received from somewhere in the state.

"The larger the bird shot by anyone throughout the state the worse chance there is of its being shipped here," said Mr. Burkker. "People seem to think that it is the size of the bird that makes it valuable to us. The sarder dog dwarfs him and the kill and the fact that it measured two inches wider than any killed in their section. As a latter of fact, the size of the bird is no indication of its value. Many of the small birds which are shot and tossed aside are worth much more to us. We are always glad to receive birds, but we would like to have people get away from the idea that it
