MISS TOPPING'S BENEFIT RECITAL A SUCCESS
Crowded House Sees Interpre-
tative Dancing in Greek
Numbers and Ballet
With almost every seat in the house filled, the Red Cross benefit by Helen Topping and pupils in the Bowersock Theater last night was financially and entertainingly a success. From the time the orchestra struck up the band to the moment of the culmination, the recital held the closest attention of the audience.
The hit of the evening was the dancing of Beethoven's "Minuet in G," by Lorca Siebert, four years old, of Kansas City. Betty Stimpson, one of Miss Topping's youngest pupils, did exceptionally good work in Mendelsohn's "Spring Song." Farrell was another juvenile dancer who deserves special mention in her interpretation of MacDowell's "To a Wild Rose."
The illness of Miss Topping prevented her appearance on the program, but she was able to be present at the theater and to direct the performance, then by Miss Rohyn Bagnell, fourteen years old, of Kansas City, who did commendable work regardless of the fact that she had only an hour in which to rehearse. Miss Margaret Pottibone and Miss Helen Miles from Kansas City and James Ncaught make to the program n success.
Ensemble numbers which were especially well done were "The Gypsy Camp" by Helen Clark and Earl Metcalf and chorus of dancers; the "In Arcadia" by Clyde Farnsworth, Miss Davis, and the Greek dancers. The "Ballet Joyeux" was the closing and most effective dance on the program.
Clever duets were "Columbine and Harlequin." by Miss Bagnell and Mr. McNaught, the "Wooden Shoe Dance" by the Wolley sisters, and the Russian Mazurka by Dorothy Cole and Earl Metcalf.
Dorothy Miller's Nautch dance was well executed; and Mr. McNaught danced a bacchanale in his usual spirited manner, having danced to Farrell, Farrell, Marsh, Youmans, Griffith, and Miller was also taking.
BY THE WAY
Edna Davis assisted with vocal solos and took the vocal invitation in the woodland scene, "Areadia." The Camp Fire Girls joined in the ensemble chorus, "The Star Spangled Banner."

COLLEGE GIRLS COOK FOR COLLEGE FARMER
Cooking, Canning, and Serving Will Be Woman's Share in Farm Work
In the interests of the State Council of Defense, a plan for University women to go to the farms to work this summer is being presented to the Governor by the Miss Glee Stallard and Miss Minnis Sharp of Ottawa University.
The increased food production which is being demanded of the farmers will increase the amount of work to be done by the women on the farms. It has been almost impossible to seize land and labor in the country. Now that more help than ever is needed it is the plan of the Council of Defense to enlist the women of the colleges and universities of the state in this branch of work. Also, said Miss Stallard, twenty-five per cent of the women of Ottawa University consented to work on the farm this summer if they can secure places.
The plan has been indorsed by Governor Capper, Chancellor Strong, and President Waters of the Agricultural College. It is being presented here before it is brought up in any other school because the Council wishes the University to set the example for the girls in the other institutions.
Application for work on farms is to be made to Miss Anne Gittens, who will communicate with the county chairman of the Council who receive applications for help from farmers. Girls will be paid a good living wage, and will not be asked to do work in farm buildings. Employees will be housewife, canning, and so forth.
The Farmers' Union believes that town girls can be useful in farm work. It says: "Town girls can be used to far better advantage in a farm home to do housework than to go to do farm work. There is as much or more need today for help in the house than for outdoor help. Housework in the country is not much different from housework in the city."
MICHIGAN AMBULANCE CORPS
MAY GO ABROAD BY JULY 1
Providing the plan is carried out, it will first be necessary to raise $10,000 to finance the men. This sum will be furnished to the net提存人 or alumni. The next step will be the securing of papers of recommendation and other information which will be sent on to Boston and Washington to obtain passports for the men.
If the plans of a group of students at the University of Michigan go through they will have an ambulance corps in France within two months. It will be absolutely necessary, however, that every student have definite permission from home, and be in proper physical condition to go. Twenty-one men have already been submitted for approval. Several more are ready to go but have not as yet received permission from home.
Student Reporters Aid Council Much of the emergency newspaper material urging and guiding increased student participation out by the University of Wisconsin, under the direction of the State Council of Defense, is being prepared by students in the course in journalism. Fifty-ax upperclass journalism students, 25 men and 21 women, have volunteered their skills to the cil.
Dartmouth, Leland Stanford, Harvard and Princeton have each three ambulance corps in the field. Tufts college is forming a corps and will probably sail with the unit from Michigan.

Owl Meeting at Sig Alph house is postponed until tomorrow night.
Traveling over a hot desert hunting fossils with pick and shovel and only a dainty to carry the supplies, is the life which Prof. Fritz Sterner has taught in summer. The party will consist of Mr. Douthitt, Charles Sperry, a student, and a cook.
American Travels With Donkey In Texas Desert
They expect to leave Lawrence June 3 for Seymour, Texas, where they will remain a short time. With only a donkey to carry the necessary supplies, they will leave for the Permian Fossil Fields. It will be a very interesting trip although they expect to be subjected to many discomforts.
The drinking water will be the greatest inconvenience. In the summer the streams are reduced to shallow pools in which the water, reddened by the rocks, is covered by a green surface where pools around snakes, frogs, and turtles.
A real discomfort will be found in the bites of the large mosquitoes. On a previous expedition Professor Douthit found an effective means of keeping them away from people when he went to bed, and found that the mosquitoes do not bite in a light. Cloud bursts are a source of real danger as it is necessary to pitch their tent near a stream. A storm comes up in ten minutes and less than half an hour, in place of the痒 catch there will be a raging torrent.
"Hunting fossils ten or twelve hours a day is no crack job," said Professor Douthitt. "By ten o'clock the sun is so blistering hot that it is necessary to hunt shade until about five o'clock. There is only cactus and mesquite brush and that doesn't damage them until it nearly overcomes one. In order to avoid the heat we expect to get up about 3:30 and be at work as soon as we can see."
In hunting the fossils the party will first lay out the ground that they expect to cover and mark the most prominent ones, then go over it with pick and shovel.
The Date Rule will not be suspended this week except for Tuesday night and then only for Miss Helen Topping's recital at the Bowersock. The day before she was suspended during quiz week.-Katheline Reding, president W. S. G. A.
