ACTORS SEEKING GOOD PLAYS
University Dramatic Club Considers Many High Class Productions
"Only the very best plays obtainable will be presented by the University Dramatic Club," said Prof. Arthur MacMurray, director of the club productions, this morning. "The executive committee is making a thorough search for a good play, and we will not be satisfied until we find it. The plays we have under consideration at present are all standard works, some of them selling as for high as seventy-five dollars.
"Participation in future Dramatic Club plays will be of decided benefit to the members of the cast. The average student, I think, likes to get as much dramatic training as possible, and I know there is a time in every student's life when he is an actor. The production of high class plays will offer a channel of communicationvision of that belief. Combined with the instruction of the public speaking department, membership in a play cast should be a source of pleasure and profit to the student actors."

JUNIORS WILL VOTE ON PICTURES IN JAYHAWKER
Committee Reports Favorably and Calls Special Election for Monday Morning
The committee of the junior class appointed by President Willard Burton to consider putting pictures of the juniors in the Annual this year, met last night and reported favorably on the question, subject to the ratification of the class at a special election called for Monday morning. If the class backs up the decision of the committee, the junior given a section committee of several pages following the senior pictures. Each page has a panel of eight pictures, with the little "obitunaries" poster, just as the seniors have.
The committee favors the plan because they think that it will give the juniors an opportunity to know each other before they become seniors, the University will find out who next year's seniors will be, and the Annual will be a museum looking hook this community embracing schools follow this custom, and their annuals are improved by the cooperation of the juniors.
The interest is not confined to the juniors, for if this movement goes through it will pave the way for this year's sophomores to get on the Annual Board next year. If they decide to go, the seniors in charge of the Jayhawker, some of them will be put on the Board to represent the class.
The committee feels that the lass will back it at the election, and t asks that every junior express his opinion by voting.

The fund was started in 1894 by a contribution of $392 from the graduating class of that year. Since then it has been added to graduating classes and by private fund. No class contributions have been made since 1900.
Since the starting of the fund in 1894 one hundred and thirty students have been made up of a small one of $25, is at all doubtful of collection.
Professor Engel, who is chairman of the committee in charge, is writing an article which will appear in the Graduate Magazine.

ALUMNI WILL PROBE CHARGES AGAINST K. U.
Association Will Send Committee to Lawrence to Investigate
Lament Public Airings
Fifty graduates and former students of the University met at the University Club in Kansas City last night and passed a resolution empowering the president of the Alumni Association, R. J. Delano, to appoint a committee of five alumni to gate the charges of lack of spirit that have been made in the past two weeks. This committee will come to Lawrence in the near future, and will report its findings to the Alumni Association. Thornton Cooke, who made the motion for the appointment of the committee, would be required to true or not, the alumni should know and recommended that the committee try to set at the cause of the discontent.
A variety of talks were made before the meeting, some in support of the meeting, some in support of the University and its administration, others in criticism of it. The spirit of the meeting seemed to be that something, no one seemed to know just what, was the matter with K. U., and that this elusive cause of the unrest should be determined. There was plenty of effort at the meeting, and the harshest critics of conditions spoke of their loyalty, and their sincerity in attempting to better conditions at the University.
The majority of speakers lamented the public airing of complaints, and expressed the hope that the practice would be discontinued, at the same time commending the men responsible for their interest in K. U. As one speaker put it, "If our linen is dirty, we should not wash it in public."
The younger men at the meeting made more drastic criticisms, while the older men counseled caution and care. J. C. Nichols spoke of the danger in the state, a false impression over the state, which is a legislative year. "One thing that is needed," Mr. Nichols said, "is a closer spirit of cooperation between the alumni and the faculty. The alumni have not the due, and on the other hand, have not manifested the interest that they should." E. F. Caldwell, of Lawrence, a former member of the legislature, spoke of the difficulty in obtaining the need of some sort of effective government at the University.
Spirit Doesn't Win Games
Spirit Doesn't Wake Me
Arthur S. Lee, McMahon team,
coach of the football team, was present,
and spoke about football. "It is not
the spirit of the school that wins the
games," he said, "in fact, that has
nothing to do with it." Mr. Mosse
charged that both the Student Council
and the Daily Kansan are dominated
and controlled by the faculty. Alonzo
Busick, who was graduated last year
made the most severe criticisms offered,
and agreed with the statements that
the Council and the Kansan are faculty
controlled. P. K. Cubbison spoke along
the same line as did the younger men.
Source of The Charges
Some of the charges made against the University are:
The faculty is dominated by a clique. This clique does not favor football. The personnel of the faculty has recuperated in the past few years.
degenerated in the past few years. Several faculty members have been removed because they did not agree with this clique.
The University has deteriorated in the past few years.
The faculty dominates the Student Council and the Daily Kansan.
The faculty oppresses student spirit.
There are too many restrictions.
There are too many teams. The students who led in the rally before the Aggie game should not have been expelled.
the speakers expressed the hope that students would not gain the idea that any criticism was being made of them. There was little complaint of lack of spirit, "The students are the same as they were," the opinion seemed to be. Nor did the speakers wish to convey this information that they were way waging war on K. U. As the chairman pointed out, it was their interest in the University that caused the meeting, and they seek only improvement.
