Marguerite Adams, Cooper Mac Murray, and Gus Lauter-bauch, Well Received
"IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST,"BIG SUCCESS
CAST MAY GO ON TOUR
New Scenery Purchased for Production by Dramatic Club
Not a single star, but a veritable constellation on shore at the Bowen sock stage last night when the second big dramatic Club performance of the year, "The Importance of Desert," drew in an audience and appreciative assembly of theater peers. Many of the leders were new to the larger University audio encees, though prominent in *lesser* productions, was added to the play.
Earnest—well, there was “some thing in that name which inspires absolute confidence,” in fact, two extremely charming young ladies had always aspired to marry a man called by it, hence, two men with very human frailties aspired to the name. Mistaken identities, re-christenings, quarrels and reconciliations enaused These are the main facts about which Oscar Wilde has woven a three act comedy, with an English setting. The plot revolves around cleverness of lines rather than ploight or dramatic situations.
Certainly not least among the stilliant performers was Cooper Mac Murray, as John Worthing, in the country, and Earnest Worthing in town, his twenty-nine year and the arduous care of his interesting ward had made rather unbelievable his work. A person, Mr. McMurray was responsible for some of the cleverest acting of the play.
Gus Lauterbach as Algenron Moncrief, the faceted friend of John Worthing—that is, he was a friend until the unraveling of the mystery of the traveling bag found in the railroad station revealed that it was made ardent love to Cecily, and ate cucumber sandwiches for consolation through the evening with consistent realism and naturalness. The part of his Aunt Augusta, Lady Dracktell, the sternmingaman with an arden, was made large in size, was remarkably well played Irene Bove.
Marguerite Adams needs no introduction to University audiences. She ornamented her part as the Hon. Gwendoline Fairfax, carefully cared daughter of Lady Bracknell and the sweetheart of John Worthing, with her usual charm and her endless supply of operative advice, and her persuasive audiences in merriment.
Cecily Cardew, the ward of John Worthing, pretty and frivolous and eighteen, for whose sake Algernon posed as the brother of Worthing and proposed to be rechristened as Earnest, was excellently characterized by Armena Rumberger. A few of Miss Rumberger's words were lost to the audience, but her portrait of varying moods was her exceptionally well composed Pile, as the Miss Prism, the decorous governess and companion of Cecily, played a difficult part very well and displayed an excellent stance voice.
The part of the country rector, who admired Miss Prism and was to have performed the christenings, was convincingly taken by Neale Garman. Herschell Clevenger and Edward Dickinson performed their parts of man-servant and butter with bethting pomposity, served the tea graceful; and announced the arrival of guest at the opportune moments.
Beautiful and tasteful stage settings helped the play, which was coached by Prof. Arthur MacMurray, not a little. Each of the acts required different scenery as the first took place in the town hall in Worthing on the garden at Worthing's country home, and the third in the morning room of the same house. The beautiful garden set for the second act had been purchased by the Dramatic Club especially for this play. Music was provided by the University Orchestra under the direction of Prof. F. E. Kendrice.
Request was made of the University Senate today that the cast be allowed to make a week's tour and, if granted, the trip will commence probably two weeks hence. Professor Burns at Manhattan and Professor Burns of the English department there were in Lawrence for the play
Universites Hold Press Future, Says Oregon Man
Dr. Eric Allen, dean of the department of Journalism at the University of Oregon visited the department of Education to advocate to several of the morning classes.

Must Comply With Valley Rules In Playing Conference Teams
When the football teams of Washburn and Kansas University meet next fall, the contest will be governed by Missouri Valley Conference rules of eligibility. It has been the custom to have freshmen in competition with conference schools and the eligibility rules have been waived or neglected. Before the Washburn-Kansas game for next fall was scheduled this semester the matter was brought to the attention of administrators; they readily assented to the change.
The conference rule with regard to non-conference competition is that "No Conference College shall compete with any non-conference institution of similar rank unless both compete under Conference rules of eligibility." The non-conference Missions in the Missouri Valley Conference have been ranked by the representatives of the conference schools according to scholastic standing and scholastic athletic standings combined. The institutions in this state to which the rule applies are Baker Bethany, Cooper, Fairmount. Oklahoma, State Normal, Ottawa Southwestern, State Normal, State Manual Training Normal, Washburn, and Western Branch State Normal,

COMMITTEE IGNORES ROSEDALE REQUESTS
Medical School is Left Without a Straw in It's Construction Program
ACTION ONLY TENTATIVE
Ways and Means Committee Has Not Officially Received Appropriation Measure
The committee refused to re-appropriate the $200,000 appropriated for the construction of a new medical building at Rosedale two years ago. The state architect has already drawn up plans for a new hospital and medical instruction building, but since the governor's action, the plan are useless.
The ways and means committee of the Kansas House of Representatives handed the University a rather violent slap on the neck when it cut off the entire appropriation asked by the School of Medicine at Rosedale.
While the action of the committee plainly indicates that it is antagonistic to further appropriation measures, the action is only tentative, as the measure has not been officially brought before the committee.
In addition to the reappropriation of the $200,000, the medical school also asked for $435,000 for new buildings, $100,000 each year for additional buildings, and $35,000 for additional land
The School of Medicine received a harder blow from the hands of the committee than any of the other schools of the University. Although the most of the requests for plant appropriation were the appropriation of $40,000 for a new cafeteria building was allowed, the power plant appropriation was cut from $300,000 to $200,000, and the amount asked for the construction of a new library was reduced as well, and asked for the completion of the Administration Building was also generously reduced.
JAYHAWKER LARGEST EVER
1921 Annual Will Contain 492 Pages
The 1921 Jayhawk will be the largest annual ever issued by the University according to an announcement this morning by Ferd Gottliel, editor. The final work on the dummy has been completed and it will require 492 pages to care for the material collected. Last year's Jayhawk contained 448 papers.
The athletic section alone will cover seventy pages. The numbry of senior pictureurns turned in has exceeded all records. With all but a few gloses in, there are now 425 individual senior pictures in the hands of the editions size of the book. The size of the book are two special illustrated sections, one devoted to the museum, the other to the School of Engineering.
The Jayhawker will appear on the Hill about May 15, or as muchiler as the printers can get it out. Copy to both the engravers and printers.
Although 1,400 annuals have been sold and gridded from the printers, according to Burt Cochran, business manager, many students have not purchased their books. To accommodate those orders after the deadline of February 15, the managers of the annual has made application to the printers for an extension of time probably to take the form of a special week during the middle of March when the extension will now be placed on a waiting list and orders for these will be sent in if the extension is granted.
Student Directories on Sale
A large number of student directories which were not disposed in the last sales campaign will be placed on sale again Thursday and Friday of this week. Two girls will be stationed in each building on the campus to sell the directories. Unless there are any changes to pay expenses, according to student council members, there will be no publication of this sort next year.
The Mining Scientist has a teaching experience in Room 201, Haworth Hall, at 430 Cobb. Professor Poopan lectured on "Applications of Geology in the World War."
