"Eliza Comes to Stay Was Season's Success With K. U. Audience
Good Clothes In Transformation of Eliza Made Her Dangerous To Men
Play Will Be Given Again
Parts were Well Acted And F A. U. Hall Was Early Crowded
"Eliza Comes To Stay," the threeact comedy, which was produced by the Dramatic Club. Wednesday, March 21, proved to be a great success, if the applause and laughter of the audience can be considered as an indication.
Burt Cochran, as the Honorable Sandy Vernal, the enthusiastic young English bachelor, was a show all by himself. His English dialect proved equally as good as his famous negro dialect. The numerous baby books, rocking horses, and toys that he had collected paved the way for the striking appearance of Eliza.
ELIZA'S DRESS WAS A SCREAM
The audience was somewhat prepared for a grown person rather than the child that the Honorable Sandy evidently expected, but they were not prepared for anything like they saw when Helen Bender appeared as the long-looked for Eliza. Dressed in a faded wrapper, a small hat, sandals half covered by falling stockings, she made a good representation of a girl brought up to scorn anything that would make her beautiful, for that her beauty would render her fan-fearless. In the last act, Miss Bender was such a transformed person that it is feared that the moral of the play as interpreted by most of the feminine part of the audience that it is desirable to be dangerous.
WHO'D THOUGHT IT WAS WEBB?
Nadine Blair, as Vera Laurence, made a good actress as well as a very brave one for in the second act, she took down her hair without going behind the scenes or using a mirror.
Karl Brown did good work as Montague Jordan, the unfortunate admirer of Eliza. Alexander Verral, the rich old Englishman, had so much dignity and poise that one could hardly believe that behind those bushy side-burns was the innocent face of Webb Wilson.
Eda Roberts, as Lady Pennybroke,
a charming elderly lady, Lucille Hovey
as Mrs. Allaway, the nurse, and F. C.
Stringfellow as Herbert, the butler,
all did excellent work.
"Eliza Comes To Stay" will be repeated in the Little Theatre at Green Hall, Saturday, April 6, for the benefit of the Dramatic Club. The price for the second production will be twenty-five cents instead of fifty cents. Tickets are now on sale at the Registrar's office.
Lieut. K. F. Nance of Camp Funston To Tell Personal Story of Great War
Will Give Experiences In American Ambulance
The story of his personal experiences on the western front in France will be given today at 4 o'clock in Frasch帕培 by Lieut. K. F. Nance, chaplain with the 164th Depot Brigade at Camp Funston.
Lieutenant Nance was in the service of the American Ambulance six months in the summer of 1916. During that time he had many hazardous experiences, driving an ambulance to and from the front line trenches. He was forced to give up the work, and was invalidated home because of injuries from poisonous gases.
Since returning from France, Lieutenant Nance has given his time to various war activities. He has lectured extensively, and helped in the first and second Liberty Loan campaigns in Kansas City.
Students will not be "excused from military drill or physical exercise for the lecture.

The War Here and Over There
Preparing For a Fresh Drive
Preparing For a Fresh Drive
The Germans during the past 48 hours have been drawing their big guns up behind the advance line of their most forward position preparatory to another smash at the allied front. All aero service is unusually active spotting the new enemy artillery positions and already both British and French artillery are opening within ranges calculated for them by aviators.
High Tide Reached
With the failure of German massed attacks to penetrate farther along the front which now extends almost fifty miles and with the growing ability of the allied defenders to keep the present line intact long enough to give their big guns a chance to get firm emplacement behind them—it is now felt in military headquarters in Paris, London, and Washington that the Teutonic offensive has passed its high tide.
Casualties Six To One
The first really accurate casually figures are now coming in from the Western Front and in round numbers indicate that for the hundred thousand British put out of action there have been six hundred thousand Germans killed, wounded, and taken prisoner. This rather substantiates the stated claim that during the Allies were going to rent temporarily a few square miles of No Man's Land in exchange for a few hundred thousand German lives.
In refutation of allegations that suckers are illegally hoarding hides, . F. Swift reports stocks of hides recently increased more than half, because of the large number of cattle tilled with no increase in the demand except for heavy leather for army shoes.
In the coal fields of Pennsylvania there are nearly 75,000 miners who are subjects of Austria-Hungary.
Churches, museums, public institutions, and-private citizens in Russia are required to place their gold articles at the disposal of the state at a fixed rate. Otherwise they will be confiscated.
English statistics show that there are now 1,500,000 women employed in British industry with an increase in women's earnings of £10,000,000. On account of the restricted hours for sale of alcohol, drunkenness among women has decreased 73 per cent.
The 1918 Senior Memorial, a large thirty-day Seth Thomas clock with a twenty-four inch dial, was installed in the main room at Spooner Library Monday afternoon. A clock for a memorial had been decided upon for some time but it was only recently decided to install it in the library.
General Pershing has recommended that the number of army chaplains be increased for the war to an average of three to a regiment.
The original intention of the memorial committee was to put it in Fraser Hall, but at the suggestion of Chancellor Strong it was placed in St. Mary's Church, where thought it would be of more service there than at any other place.
Senior Memorial Clock Installed in Library
More than fifteen dollars of the memorial fund was left after the clock was purchased. This will be invested in War Savings Stamps for the benefit of the Student Loan Fund.

Freshman Caps Appear
As Usual This Morning
Upperclassmen Will Institute Strict Search for Non- Conformers
Whether it is due to some gentle pressure by the upper classmen or a desire on the part of the freshmen to do the proper thing, there appeared on the hill this morning the usual headgear for freshmen at this time of the year.
Warren Wattles, president of the senior class, Herschel Washington, president of the junior class, and Bruce Fleming, sophomore class president, all say their respective classes will see that the freshmen wear their caps.
Every representative organization expected the freshmen to follow the yearling spring custom and wear their caps. They were not disappointed. "Dutch" Uhrlauh and "Brick" Chandler of the Men's Student Council say that organization is looking out for non-formers.

Naughty Laws Joke Newly Married Prof.
Still the lawyers must have their little joke. This morning when Prof. E.D. Obson, who had been married March 28, went to his class room his chair stood upon his desk all decorated with ladies' dresses, a kimona, shoes, a bou迪 cap $_{a}$, a pair of white silk gloves and other silk things which were not silk. Some of some things that were not silk. A big placard which read "Exhibit A," and other nobby signs had been nifty worked out by the naughty Laws.

Both Teams Had Good Rebuta Speeches—Members of Negative More Experienced
Kansas Debaters Lose To Missouri in Dual Contest by 3-0 Vote
Kansas was defeated in the annual dual debate here with the University of Missouri last Thursday night by a decision of 3 to 0. The question on the debate was: Resolved, That the terms of settlement of the present war should be the establishment of the League of Peace. Kane's defensive.
The University team had had no experience in inter-collegiate debating. All of its members were under classman, Harold Hall and Deane Malott are sophomores in the college, and George Blake is a freshman.
The Missouri team showed more debating experience, two of its members having previous experience in university debates and in oratorical contexts. The members of the visiting team were Frank M. Lowe, Bernard Hurwitz, and Lloyd O'Rear. Missouri excelled in delivery, both in the main argument and in rebuttal. Each team gave good rebuttals.
Three Kansas City men were judges. They were B. B. Wright of the city library, Principal Holmes of Central High School, and Dr. Grant Robbins, a Methodist minister.
Bride at New Year's Is Widowed by War's Toll
Mrs. Harry E. Boestler Does Not See Husband Again After Wedding
.
--hearse.
Mrs. Harry E. Boestler, fa2'19, was notified last Thursday that her husband, an aviator in the American army, had been killed by the falling of his machine during a German raid on Paris. Mrs. Boestler left at once for her home in Chanute upon receipt of this news.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Boestler were residents of that city, where they were married New Year's Eve.
Mrs. Boester had planned to visit her husband at his training camp in Texas about the first of February, but before she could leave, he was already on his way to France, where he arrived about the middle of February. As a result of his early departure, he was not able to see his bride again after the time of the wedding
Too Many Jobs Offered By University Y. M. C. A.
Mrs. Boestler, who was Miss Ruth BrANDLE, is a member of the Mu Phi Epsilon sorority, will return to the University to continue her studies, according to friends here.
High School Students Given Work Through Association Employment Bureau
The University Y. M. C. A. employment bureau is so swamped with jobs that cannot be filled with students at the university that it has been decided to open these jobs to high school students as well as to those who are attending the University, according to Harold Hall, secretary of the employment bureau. This is the first time this has been done. Should the demand for work by University students increase the employment bureau will discontinue offering work to others.
The large number of unfilled jobs is attributed to the smaller number of men in K. U. than in the last few years and also to the scarcity of labor in all enterprises. The number of hours of compulsory exercise, military drill, and wireless work also prevents many students from working who would do so if they had fewer study hours in the University.

Plain Tales From The Hill
If our boys would give this yell as they go "over the top," the hair on every German's head ought to raise two inches;

A MYSTERY THAT WAS NO MYSTERY
Perhaps if you chanced to stray
down the street upon a balmy evening last week you might have noticed something which would have greatly aroused your curiosity. You may have been waiting with a waiter and being all this time for someone to settle this deep and dire mystery. And still the burning question remains in your mind!
Yes, she was a college woman, you are sure! Why, well because she had the proverbial fat heeded shoes, and those characteristic ear muffs of hair over the ears. And to think that one of our distinguished little college maidens should go along the streets on a dark evening alone and unprotected protect up little bits along the way. No she isn't a snipe shooter as she is. She's also a patriotic maid. She is gathering salvage for the salvage box! Now, Mr. Slacker, Mr. Criticizer, and Mr. Knocker will you ever dare to utter one word again against the patriotism of the University women?
Professor Elmer addressing a small child who was sitting on a door step eating a cooky, "What are you eating?"
Smal child, "Raw potatoes." "No you are not," said Professor Elmer, "you are eating a cooky."
"But," replied the child, "when I say I eat eating raw potatoes, I am eating raw potatoes."
The student came in late last night. Roomie was asleep, and the thoughtful student couldn't take the heart to wake him, so he didn't turn on the light. But there was something on the table among the books and clothes that the student wanted. He rustled around in the dark, hunting for it. The supposedly sleeping rooie spoke up;
"Oh, I say. I put my money in the drawer tonight."

Naval Reserve to Call Enrolled Men to Serve At Least for Summer
"Well, Bill, what do you think of that book?" inquired the newcomer. "Why I tell you, I get just about as much out of it as I do out of a Mutt and Jeff cartoon only I don't have the fun of looking at the pictures."
Undergraduates May Return Next Fall for Further Training
Well Qualified Men Wanted
Students May Obtain Commissions If They Renounce Right To Resume Schooling
Students in technical courses in the University of Kansas who enroll in the Naval Reserve Force will be called to active duty upon completion of their current school year, according to word received by Chancellor Frank Strong regarding modification of the recent offer of the U. S. Navy to enroll undergraduates in technical courses with permission to remain on inactive status to continue their college course.
Men who have completed their college course will remain in active duty while those still undergraduates will be given training during vacation period and may be released again at the opening of the new college year. Undergraduates may remain on active duty at their request.
Graduates who are called to active duty will be examined carefully for such of those who are qualified to enter the various Officer Material Schools and particular attention will be paid to graduates of recognized technical schools. Men who have attained a degree in mechanical engineering are particularly desirous for the Office Material School, and Bachelor's (unsupervised) Undergradrates may enter Officer Material Schools, but they forfeit the privilege of returning to college in case they qualify for commissions.
Undergraduates who are called to active service for the vacation period will be placed in recruit training and later in the patrol forces of the Naval district. Effort will be made to give as much training as possible in the short time available. Undergraduates will not be transferred to distant service unless they first renounce the privilege of returning to college.
New Daylight Saving Schedule Is Ushered In With Few Mistakes
A Day or Two Will Suffice for Becoming Accustomed to Early Rising
Classes started promptly at 8 o'clock this morning on the new "daylight saving schedule," with little confusion. After two days' practice there was very little difficulty in adapting the habits of the student body to the new time regulations. A few exceptions from the general smoothness of the starting of the new rule were found in students who straggled breathlessly to class, forty-five minutes late.
In most of the 8 o'clock classes here were a goodly number of susi-
siciously sleepy students. Many even iad the discourtesy to yawn re-
teledly.
Undoubtedly these minor difficulties will be removed in a very few days, and the University campus will resume its accustomed compose. The plan will not cause any inconvenience, when it has been thoroughly adopted.
