THESPIAN TALENT NOT AMATEURISH
University Students In Leading Roles Are Experienced Players
Players
The Thespian show tomorrow night, "The Aviator," will present in its leading roles University students who easily be classed with professionals.
Miss Mary Cecile Burton, who carries the role of Miss Douglas, has taken many parts before the footlights in Kansas City, while Clarence Sowers, as Mr. Robert Street, has long been a leader in University dramas besides playing outside in professional parts.
CECILE BURTON
Miss Burton, now a sophomore in the College, graduated from the Dillenbeck School of Oratory in Kansas City in 1910 and received a postgraduate degree in 1911. She has made many public appearances, carrying the lead in a greater percentage of them, and by so doing has acquired the experience in dramatic work that distinguishes the theater profession. She is an amateur. She is a graduate of Central high school, Kansas City.
Of no less ability and experience is Clarence R. Sowers, who takes the lead in "The Aviator." Sowers carried the lead in the Thespian production of last year "Billy," and also in "The Bachelor" the year before. He is at present chairman of the Junior Force committee.
"Perf" as he is known has also made a reputation for himself as a professional director. He has directed several high school plays and has co-authored several recent work being with the Kansas City and Abilene high schools.
Sowers gained his professional training in circles outside of University dramatics. Each summer he plays in the University Stock company of Wichita and has appeared in many towns in the state.
During the Christmas holidays Sowers was offered a position in a professional stock company at a salary of $30 a week to start. He has been drilling the cast of "The Aviator" for the past four weeks and promises a good show.

Sunday School to Sup.
"S'matter, Darwin?" we ventured, for there was clearly something the matter when we called at his office in room four, snow hall. Darwin, with his colleagues Huxley and Kate, are the scientist--monkeys are actually some from India to carry on investigations into pelagia.
CO-EDS TO SEE HOW THEY
MAKE TENDER TENDERLOINS
"Matter enough," he said. "You see, our cage here has an extension through the window to the outside in the rear of the building which enables us to enjoy your Kansas weather. We are all fresh air enthusiasts, and consider our sun baths indispensable.
The class in selection of foods under Miss Elizabeth Nowell will leave the University this afternoon at 3:30 to visit the University meat market. One half of a beef will be cut up that the girls may learn the various cuts and their prices. This excursion is preliminary to some of the class work soon to be taken up.
"While we much prefer our native climate, and the warm sunshine days of India, we have things so arranged that we can get your Kansas sunny weather. We also provide good substitute. Consequently since our arrival here last fall, we have been quite comfortable, and though far from home, have been happy."
STERLING TELLS ABOUT EARLY K. U. FINANCES
"How a Town Without Money Did Things," or "Early K U. Finances" was the subject of a paper read in chapel this morning by Professor Sterling.
Lawrence Raised $15,000 Endowment Fund—First Appropriation $7,000
"It is fifty years ago last month since the legislature passed a bill for the location of a state University," he said. "The city of Lawrence employed every known device to obtain the University.
DARWIN, KATE AND HUXLEY TO LEAVE THE UNIVERSITY
"The bill contained two provisions: It required the city to secure near the town a campus of forty acres and an endowment fund of $15,000. If Lawrence failed to meet these requirements, the school was to go to Emporia.
"Amos A. Lawrence, of Boston, for whom the town was named, gave $10,000 of the necessary $15,000 and the rest was made up by smaller contributions. This endowment fund was invested in state bonds.
"The site near Haskell Institute was considered for the University campus as was also a site northwest of town. The present location was finally decided upon and the original site was purchased for $2,000.
"A short time later Quantrell raised left the town in ruins and the school suffered with the town. Funds for the relief of the Quantrell raid sufferers were raised and after the suffering had been relieved the remainder of the fund, about 10 thousand dollars, was with permission of the donors applied to the building of North College. This was finished in 1866, and was the first building of the University.
"The legislature of 1864 named the first regents who in 1865 selected the first chancellor. The legislature of 1866 appropriated $4,000 for teachers and $3,000 for library, furniture, and scientific apparatus. All of these funds were not used, and a part was returned to the state.
"The first difficulty with the legislature came in 1868, which reduced the amount asked for, $13,000, to $7,000. They couldn't understand why a chancellor was needed, or why he should be paid for his services.
"North College was outgrown in 1869, and in 1870 the citizens of Lawrence voted bonds for $100,000 with which Fraser hall was erected.
"Those who contributed most to the University in early days were Amos A. Lawrence, who gave something more than $15,000, and James H. Lane, who donated one third of the North College site."
But now our happiness is threatened."
"Look at this," he said, handing us a copy of a daily newspaper. "The legislature wants to cut out the extension. A bill abolishing it passed the house after an eloquent speech by Representative Rustic, who declared: 'I shall vote one on this measure; them fool monkeys don't need no extension.'
"You may quote me as saying that some people can't appreciate either good men or monkeys."
"That's the way our work is appreciated. Must we bear such insults? No! We shall accept the offer which we have recently received from the University of Malibu, where we can carry on similar work and be treated with courtship and friendship, the advantages of climate, more to eat, and leave of absence to gather cocoanuts every seven years.

Topeka, Mar. 11, 2:30 p. m.
The house Ways and Means committee will not report to the house the senate bill appropriating $15,000 a year to the Wier City School of Mines.
The only way this bill can now be considered is as an amendment to the general appropriation bill. It is thought that the action of the commission has effectively killed any appropriation for the Wier City school this year.
Topke, Mar. 11—Without objection or debate the house adopted yesterday afternoon the appropriation bill for the University of Kansas just as they came from the senate. Every item that was included in the senate appropriation bills for all the three big schools of Kansas—the state University, Agricultural College and State Normal—was backed by the house. The bill will now go to the governor to be signed.

REDUCE FUNDS TO PUBLISH
TEXT BOOKS $5.00¢
Topeka, Mar. 11—The appropriation for the publication of school text books by the state will be reduced from $150,000 to $100,000 according to a plan agreed upon by leaders of both branches of the state legislature. For the reason that it is almost impossible to equip the state printing plant for the new work, to erect a new building and purchase copyrights before the 1915 session of the legislature, members have found that they can reduce the application cost from $50,000 to an all possible work in the next two years. The appropriation bill for the school text book publication has not as yet passed either branch of the legislature and the amount will be reduced when these bills are considered.
Manager Campbell Denies Report—
Take Week's Trip After Easte
"The report that the Men's Glee club has disbanded is absolutely without foundation," said Manager Robert Campbell this afternoon. "Professor Hubach has been busy working up the program for the Women's club and could not work with two clubs at the same time."
The next home concert will be given the week after Easter vacation at the Bowersock and will be followed by a week's trip. The personnel of the club will be unchanged.
GLEE CLUB STILL ALIVE

French Circle Today.
Riflers Must Practice Hard.
The French Circle will hold its regular meeting this afternoon. The election of the new president of France will be discussed.
Riffers Must Practice Hard. The K. U. Rifle club will meet Nebraska next Saturday afternoon. Rigid practice will be the rule for this week.
Friends of the Kansas schools who feared trouble when the appropriation bills reached the house, were surprised when the big appropriations went into the bulk roll call without objection and were adopted with but one vote in opposition. Davis of Edwards County voted against the K. U. bill. Chairman Herr of the house ways and means committee, called the bills up late in the afternoon and in less than an hour after the consideration of these measures was called up, they had been adopted without objection, argument or protest.
For Kansas University, the house allowed $1,228,000—the same amount allowed in the senate. The Agricultural College received $882,000, and the state Normal $381,000, the same amounts that had been appropriated in the bills which passed the senate last week; and when it was before the $6,000 every educational appropriation bill to be allowed at this session of the legislature, was safely out of the way and approved by both houses.
Last week the appropriation bills, as agreed upon by the house and senate ways and means committee, were passed in the senate. There were no amendments to any of the appropriations for the three big state schools. These are expected to be moved to the house and Chairman Herr at once served notice that he would call them up for consideration Monday afternoon.
Special to the Daily Kansan.
It was nearly 4 o'clock when these measures were read on the floor of the lower branch of the state legislature. The appropriations for the Agricultural College came first, then the allowance for the state Normal. Kansas University was third. As each bill was read, Herr move advance them to a seat in committee which meant an expenditure to Kansas in the next two years of more than two and a half million dollars for the education of the students in the state schools.
Special to the Daily Ransun.
Topeka, Mar. 11—The house last night adopted a resolution extending the time for consideration of bills from noon Tuesday to noon Wednesday. A resolution to set the time for final consideration of bills for noon Thursday was defeated.
HOUSE AGREES TO LABOR
JUST ONE DAY LONGER
The plan to extend the time for consideration of bills, will be taken up in the senate sometime Tuesday. It is to allow the senate to complete the consideration of bills passed by the house that the resolution was offered. The house is well up with its work and could adjourn at noon today without leaving many of the important measures on the calendar. There are still more than 100 house bills on the calendar in the senate.
