A CHANCE FOR THE OLD
"CHEER SOUAD."
"CHEER SQUAD
The annual meeting of the alumni association of the Kansas University next week ought to provide some helpful plan for enlisting the interest of the people of the state in the University's welfare.
The people of Kansas ought to know about their state University. They should know what it does with the money appropriated for it; the extent and efficiency of the service the school is returning upon the investment the people have in it.
The people of the state are entitled to know why so many of the best teachers are leaving the Kansas University and are going to other state universities and the danger involved in such a condition for the Kansas school.
The taxpayers of the state ought to know what funds the University needs to increase its efficiency; they ought to know in detail the work of the various departments and how that work affects the pub-
Kansas should provide the mill tax for its state schools. The educational institutions should get their help direct from the people and not be subject to the mercy of politicians and cheap statesmen who know little care less even than they show how the importance of state schools
the welfare of the state. When the people of Kansas know that they will provide the funds.
When the people of Kansas know all about the University, its work and its needs, it will not be a pop-up in a classroom or to attack it in legislative sessions.
And the alumni and former students who have become factors in the life of the state should give the people this information. The men and women who have received their education must be served to the state and to the school, and now is the time for them to meet the obligation.
Here's a chance for the old "cheer squad." -Kansas City Star.
CO-ED SPENDS $175 A YEAR FOR CLOTHES

Home Economics Classes Have Done Some Investigating
GOOD TASTE, COMMON SENSE
Dresses Should be Chosen to Sui
One's Individuality and Surround- ience Sara Miss Newell
ings, Says Miss Nowell.
the average co-ed at the University of Kansas spend $175.00 a year for clothes. This problem has been carefully worked out by the sewing classes in the home economics department. They obtained the result not from "what a college girl should wear," but from what the average University co-ed actually has in her wardrobe. They took into consideration the fact that many articles such as a coat, or furs, may be worn for more than one year and in no such cases reckoned the cost per year as well as the initial cost. Each member of the sewing class has selected the material, designed, and made one complete outfit of clothing. Models were obtained from the Lawrence stores for study.
In studying these ready-made garments they judged the quality of the materials, criticised the style and compared the actual cost of the raw material with the cost of the ready-made wearing apparel. It was found that a garment could be made at home for less cost and at the same time using much better materials.
"Before attempting to make a garment," said Miss Nowell in charge of the sewing classes, "we find out theoretically what is most becoming to each individual girl. The hair, eyes, and complexion are considered. The first principle used is to select such material as will bring out the good points and conceal the 'defects. Straight lines are best suited to large noble figures; curves are more suave and expressive of aesthetic qualities.
"Good taste in dress," declared Miss Notewill, "is only applied intelligently and to suit our individuality. We must plan our clothes to harmonize with ourselves and our surroundings."

COURB PLAYERS IN ROLES
OF MALVOLIO AND VIOLA
(By Sarah Jacobs)
"Twelfth Night," the second of the series of plays given by the Coburn Players was presented to a large audience Friday afternoon.
On the whole the play was very well performed, although some of the actors were not what we had expected. Olivia the countess failed to convey to us the idea of personality and strength of character that Shakespeare gives in his picture of her.
Orsino, the Duke was disappointing in the first scenes but entirely redeemed himself by his splendid acting later in the play.
Mrs. Coburn was particularly pleasing in the role of Viola, the servant of the Duke. Her interpretation of a character so difficult and impossible of analysis was one of the strong features of the play.
Mr. Coburn was also much appreciated in his forceful acting of the part of Malvolio.
The outdoor surroundings and the artistic arrangement of the stage set among the trees enhanced the charm of the play and made its presentation loudly enjoyable.
CRITIC THINKS IPHIGENIA
THE BEST OF THE THREE
By Norman Klein
Out-of-door theatrical performances, like the little girl with the curl, are either unusually good or very, very bad. The impression left with the audience is usually the best means of determining the quality.
And so, it is safe to say all of the 750 summer students, faculty, and their friends, who saw "Iphigenia in Tauris" Friday evening on the campus, came away convinced that the Coburn Players had reserved their most forceful and spiritual play for the last.
The best assets of the Coburn Players are their ability to keep the action from dragging and to hold the central thought clear at all times.
Mrs. Coburn as Iphigenia blends her freueny and despair with the skill of the finished actress. She, more than anyone else, gave the pitch and expression to the play. In the scene with the Greek prisoners, her dramatic portrayal of her joy and thankfulness at finding her brother was the best in the play.
As the brother Orestes, Mr. Coburn acted with that dynamic, spirited, magnanimous way which the part demands.
Thomas Mitchell as the fellow prisoner of Orestes fell short of satisfying expectation. He is apparently new in the part and lacked genuine dramatic expression.
Nothing was missing from the roaring announcements of George Currie, the messenger. He would make a good hotel page. Eugenia Webb es Pallas Athene, George Gaul as a herdsman, Kate McLaurin and Constance Howard, and last but most conspicuous the K. U. girl's chorus—all were happy in their various roles.
