WILL MAKE WEEK'S TOUR
Extension Division Has Booked Play for Tour Over
"The Importance of Being Earnest," the second and last big Dramatic Club production of the year, is now receiving the finishing touches for the performance next February at the Brownesock Theatre. This play, written by Oscar Wilde, differs from the last play "Mrs. Gorringe's Necklace," in that it is purely comedy of a clever, colorful narrative, free from the melodramatic and tragic characterization the last play.
play.
The cast composed of nine people has been working under the direction of Prof. Arthur MacMurray since December 1, and according to him has developed some wonderful dramatic ability. Included in the cast are several students who have had a great deal of experience in Hill dramatics. The personnel of the play is as follows:
Armena Rumberger—Cecily Cardew; Marguerite Adams—Gwendolyn Fairfax; Irone Boyer—Lady Braid clare; Cline Pile—Miss Prism; Cooper MacMurray-John Worthing; Launtberk JOHN Worthing; Doctor Charles; Her shel Glengeren—Lane; and Edward Dickinson-Merriman.
The play was presented at DeSoto last Saturday where the cast gave two performances to good crowds and a great hit. This gave the coach a chance to see any that may have hit them, and then, that may have touches are now being put on for the performance next Monday night.
Two different interior stage settings are required for this play, and the sum of $250 has already been spent for a new garden set. The dramatic club expects to use the proceeds above expenses of the play for new scenery for Little Theatre in Green Hall.
The extension department has booked the play for a week's trip, and it may be given at Haskell later.
Spencer A. Gard, business manager, reports that the ticket sale by mail order has been unusually good, but that good seats are still available, by using the coupon in the advertisement in the Kansan. Tickets go on sale at the Round Corner drug store Friday morning.
DESIGN CLASS PLANS MODERATION IN DRESS
Pamphlet Itemizing Woman's Wardrobe Needs, Sent to High Schools
The costume design class has worked out a plan for the moderation of dress, among the women on the hill. This project was started by the class and successfully carried out by two models, Amy Duffield and with the aid of Miss Elizabeth Mogusier, instructor in the department.
A wardrobe has been planned for the college women of moderate means, just what a woman will need and the cost, has been figured out and itemized. A student can set to every high school grid in the state. The minimum amount that a woman will have to spend for clothes at first college year is $120, the maximum which she needs to spend is charge.
This plan proposes to avoid extreme fashion and dress in fashion, and urges more simplicity and uniformity of dress among the college women.
"Simplicity is the keynote of every college woman's wardrobe," said Lulu Lattice. "There are very few high school girls who will know just what to wear, and many who have an older sister or friend who has been to college, and often she finds many things included in her wardrobe that she has little need for, and perhaps will find need for other things that she has not enough of. One student was heard to remark that she felt sad and worried, and worry, had she been enlightened in this way before she came to college."

Dean Williams said that the congress has now two thousand members who live in forty cities. Every association of newspaper men or women or authors and writers is eligible to representation in the congress.
OWL' TODDLE NUMBER SUBJECT OF CENSURE
Saffron Nature of the Publication a Source of Much Student Condemnation
The Sour Owl is making its third flight of the year over the campus today, and the journey isn't a smooth one. The publication is the subject of a severe "razing" from a large portion of the student body, and is being censored generally for its risque portrayal of University activities.
This is the second "offense" of the Owl this year. The last number was considered a presentation of college students, but it generally hoped that the next number would be an improvement. It is apparently the opinion of a large portion of the students, however, that the Owl will not rehabilitate the magazine's reputation.
The issue was supposed to be the "Toddle" number, but from the impression it made this time, the "toddle" would be a more accurate term.
An attempt is made to criticize the Daily Kansan for its policy in neglecting to ferret out all the sordid details of the Midland "dance" and spread their broadcast to the University and to the state in general.

New Statute Requires 2-Year Pre-Legal Study
The supreme court of Kansas, in a recent session, passed a resolution which provides that at the June excursion the bar must have had one year of collegiate work besides the requisite three years of law school. At the June examinations, 1924, two years passed and three years were sided the three years in a law school.
This provision coincides with the requirement of the School of Law which is to go into effect in September, 1921, that all applicants for the degree of LIB. must have had two years of college work besides the required three years in the School of Law.

EDDY RECOMMENDS BOOKS
COLLEGE TRAINED HUSBAND
Sherwood Eddy in his talk on social problems. Friday evening recommended a list of fourteen books on current problems to be read by those who are interested in social work. These books deal with all sorts of social topics and offer solutions to many of them. The list is as follows:
New Volumes Discuss Every Phase of Social Reform
The Social Principles of Jesus, Rauschenbusch, W.; The Church and Industrial Reconstruction; The New Social Order, Ward, H. P.; Socialism in the 1910s; Proposed Roads to Freedom, Russell, B.; Interchurch Report on Steel Strike of 1919; Labour in the Commonwealth, Cole G. D. H.; An Acquisitive Society, Tawney, R.

A; Short History of the American Labor Movement, Beard, Mary A.; Workers' Education (Bureau of Industrial Research), Glason, A.; What the Workers Want, Glason, A.; What the Teachers Hope, Glason, A.;
COLLEGE TRAINED HUSBAND College professors often get into print fanciful ideas, but there is merit in the suggestion by one of them that young men in search of a university degree would profit by a course taught them for marriage. Girls and young women learn how to be efficient wives. They have their courses in cooking, in sewing, in household management and decoration and in the care of children.-London Mail.
WANT W.A.A. OPINION ON THE POINT SYSTEM
Committees Are Organized to Reach the 650 Student Members
FIVE REASONS ADVANCED
Would Require Women to Take Part in More Activities
the campaign to adopt a new point system for the Women's Athletic Association will begin Thursday morning, said Jessie Martindale, president of the Association, today. Class committees have been organized and they are prepared to reach personally each of the 650 members of the W. A. A. and to find out their opinions of the proposed system.
There are five reasons, advance why this new system should be adopted here and the managing board of W. who has worked them out as a few owls.
1. Our present standard is too low not in the number of points especially, but in the number and variety of sports required. Because the girl do not have inter-college sports, the system should require them to take part in more than one sport in order to get their sweaters.
2. Beause of the introduction of 85 new apsorts for points, such as volley ball, hockey, track and field, the number of points must be raised.
3. We are a member of the National Women's Athletic Association and since this Association's point system is lower than the rest of the American colleges, the point system at K. U. will have to come up to standard if the national organization establishes a uniform system.
4. The sweater won under the proposed system would be equal to the men's athletic "K".
5. The proposed system does not mean that it will be harder for a woman to get her letter, only that she will be an all-around athlete and has to take part in more than one kind of sport.
The members of W. A. A. will be asked for an opinion of the value of the point system. At a later date a vote to adopt this new measure will be taken. The suggested point system is:
1. Basket ball--Making team, 100 points; exceptional ability (receved mended by coach), 25; sub-team, 25; sub-slayer, one or more games, 25.
2. Hockey—Team, 100 points; ex
optional ability, 25; sub-t team, 25;
sub-player one or more games, 25.
3. Tennis—Team, 50 points; ex
optional ability, 10.
4. Volley ball-Team, 50 points exceptional ability, 10.
5. Swimming—Placing first, 50 points; pacing second, 35; placing third, 25. Reley, first, 50; second, 35. Larsen, first, 40; second, 35. Part in more than three events.)
7. Track and Field-Placing first,
50 points; placing second, 35;
placing third, 25, Relay, first, 50; second,
35; third, 25.
6. Tennis—Team, singles, 100 points; doubles, 50.
8. Gymnasian honors—To be given by instructors for exceptional ability and passed on by W. A. A. Board, 25, 30, 31; gymnastics honoree, 26, Junior, 35; Senior, 50.
There will be allowances for up-
perclassmen during the change of the point system: Seniors, class 21,
500. Juniors, class 22, 700.
LEFSCHETZ INVITED TO ROME
K. U. Professor May Lecture at Italian University
Prof. Solomon Lefschetz of the department of mathematics, who is on leave of absence in France, has been invited to deliver a course of ten lectures at the University of Rome. The International Institute of Education at New York City has canaled his degree for $600, and urged him to accept the invitation. This is the first time the International Institute has given such an award to a man for less than half year's lecture course at a university. Professor Lefschetz who has been in France since accepting the International Mathematical prize at Paris last summer has been the recipient of a professorship. He has been invited to speak before the Hadamard Seminaire of the College of France in Paris, which is known as one of the most eminent mathematical groups in the world.

Eddy Committee Decides To Retain Organization
At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Eddy Campaign, it was decided that efforts would be made to greep that organization intact, the purpose for the present being to get the students out to church next Sunday morning, and for the future to work up a successful Forum.
As next Sunday is University Sunday, all students are urged to come out to church, and the Executive Committee is doing all in its power to further this movement. The meetings will be held with a talk by Dr. Harry F. Ward on Thursday, March 3, the exact time to be announced later.
The men and women will meet separately, but the same work along the social lines laid down by Mr. Eddy will be considered and discussed at these meetings. This Forum is to give the students an opportunity of working systematically in a group, along industrial lines.
NEW DORMITORY BILL BELIEVED IN DANGER
House Amendment Now Provides For Indirect Appropriation
Topeka, Feb. 23. - Fear was expressed by friends today that the bill to provide dormitories for women of state educational institutions might be in danger as the result of the action of the House in amending the bill that has passed the Senate by making it provide for indirect appropriation instead of bond issues for building the dormitories.
Under the House amendment, $250
000 would be appropriated in 1922
and a similar amount in 1923. The
building would be done under the
direction of the State Board of Admini-
tration, under the house plan.
SHOW PUPPET PLAYS HERE
Marionette Will be Presented in Fraser, March 5
The Marionette plays which appear in Fraser Hall, March 5, under the direction of the Collegiate Alumnae offer a rare opportunity to the University of Kansas and the community at large to see puppet play. It is entirely probable that not more than a dozen persons in K. U. at the present time have ever seen alps ablaze one has read them, and heard of their operation. Puppet plays have never been given here before.
Puppet performances are known to have been given long before the time of Christ. Goethe's "Faust" was first presented as a puppet, and today it makes plays are sensationally successful on the puppet stage of France.
An Englishman, Tony Sarg. is chiefly responsible for the popularity of Mariotones in this country. He started showing the plays in the New York City, where they became famous. He added much to the mechanical operation, the external and life like appearance of the puppets as well as
The live members of Miss Owen's company who will play here consist of seven operators, puppeteers they are called. They read the lines from behind the scenes and the marionette carry out the actions on the stage, walking, dancing, laughing, and talk. The actors in the dolls are operated by a network of wires, sometimes as many as twenty-five being used for each doll. Special lighting fixtures and an elaborate stage will be use in the performances.
Miss Owen and her company will present both afternoon and evening entertainments. She, with the company, is making a tour of all the University's lecture series. The magazine articles speak very highly to her skill and success in her work.
Class Works at home
The classes in advanced design are devoting the work of this week to hand craft. Book covers, billboards, books and other items made of tooled leather. Some of the students are making pens from Permelda, a clay especially adapted to the modeling of jewelry.
Class Works at Hand Craft
The pendant are first molded in various shapes or else cut in different designs. After they are dry they can be coated in opaque water colors and shellacled.

LAW SCRIM DEBT NOT PAID
LAW SCHUM D
Benefit Dances Forbidden by
Student Council, Says Pugh
Several attempts have been made by the managers of the Law Scrim to obtain dates for benefit dances, according to Clifford Pugh, one of the managers, in order to make up this deficit, but these attempts have all been turned down by the Student Council.
The Law Scrim deficit of $425.25 is still being carried on the debit side of the Universities' ledger.
"The Council won't and can't pay this deficit" said John Tracey, president of that body, recently.
"Just how these bills will be taken up and paid is unknown," was the statement made in the Kansan at the time the deficit was reported. The condition has not improved and as yet no definite action has been taken to clear up this account against the University.
"We are awaiting advice from the Student Council," said Clifford Pfugh this morning, "for until they allow us to stage some benefit entertainments to make up the loss, we can do nothing."
JAPANESE SLAYER CENSURED
Accidental Killing of U. S. Navy Sentry Caused Tokio Investigation
Shanghai, Feb. 23—The Japanese sentry who shot and killed Lieutenant Langton, United States Navy, a month ago has been sentenced to thirty days at hard labor for perjury, according to dispatches reaching here, in order to allow him to off-road announcements, cleared him of more serious charges.
The perjury was alleged to have been committed at his preliminary hearing.
In line with the announcement is that of the Tokio government that General Ninihara, commander at Vladivostak, has been suspended as a result of his failure to have the sentry trained. As a result, officers were to be disciplined, including a regimental commander, each of whom have been sentenced to quarters.
