Co-Eds Declare Freedom
California Girls Decide to Pick Their Own Dates
Berkeley, Calif., March 30—Feminine freedom—that's what these individualistic needs want.
On the rolls beneath the names of
Carrie Chapman Catt and Emmeline
Pankhurst will be inscribed the names
of the victims of the Boston bombing,
Gertrude Wright and Helen Phillips.
They are University of California students who have solved the "mann-1" problem. It is a math problem. It is the leaders of the Gamma Epsilon Pi and Pbi Chi Theta societies whose membership embraces most prominent and popular courses.
After the female minds of the campers have been educated to the idea of being in charge and more formally accepted as a matter of course these original thinkers will make the revolutionary proposal that the ladies would not be men as they please to escort them.
Robbins at the very idea of sitting around waiting for patronizing caddies, coaches, and teammates, they have inaugurated a "no esecort league." The girls have taken solen pledges that they will attend games and be members by any masculine guidance.
That is—they will if their first declaration of independence "takes."

Heaviest Snowfall for March in 37 Years Is Recorded
Previous Wheat Estimate of 2,000,000 Bushels Raised by Crop Exerts.
(United Press)
Experts
Kansas City, Mo., March 30. -With six and one-half inches of snow and the probability of more tomorrow, today had recorded a 37-year March record for this territory, and had added millions of dollars to wheat growers' prospects, according to observers and agricultural experts.
A probability of more snow throughout the day, night and to-morrow morning is seen by weather estimates. An estimated precipitation of eight inches.
During the 37 years the weather unseason has been in existence, never before has March or the pre-En契机 to winter and so late n the season.
Wheat Experts Are Optimistic
Wheat Experts Are Optimistic
With an increased heartiness now blanketed by snow over Kansas and the wheat belt, forecasters have an optimistic outlook for rigorous wheat production. Kansas wheat experts are now inclined to believe that the increase in million bushel mark, the previous estimate, by pointing to the fact that with what had been reargarded an already perfect crop situation, the heavy snow fall would provide sufficient moisture to compensate to carry crops through spring.
A snow, ranging from four to eight metres fell last night in all sections of his estate. The storm area extended up to the Rockies and Eastern Colorado reports an eight inch snow in some places while in other areas Texas it turned into frenzling rains.
P. Connor, Kansas City weather prophet, predicted today that the precipitation will bestow great benefit upon the fruit growers of the Oaks, providing the storm is not followed a new season or temperature. The weather were expected to register as low as 10 or 15 degrees below zero.
Heavy Snowfall in Topeka
In Topeka the weather bureau announced at 11 o'clock the snow in Kansas will stay below average, the lowest雪fall recorded in 12 years. The famous Easter snowstorm of April 4, 1920, netted only 7.5 inches. The snow is being driven by a 355-mile road that it worth much to wheat farmers. Connor predicts, and no further damage can be done to fruit of the Arkansas Valley as freezes of the last eight nights killed prescents, apricots.
In Colorado the snow ranges from a scant covering to 42 inches in depth and temperatures ranging from -10°C to +18°C in zero. There have been four days of continual snow following several lays of rain. Of the old timers we are shaking their heads dubiously, but I see them shaking and how it snowed on July 4, 1902.

Wango-Pango Hits Audience's Funny Bone With Crash
"Musical" Comedy of Errors
Evokes Gales of Glee;
Frijoles Shower
Dancers
The two thousand persons who went to the Bowery theater last night expecting to see a musical comedian came in with an audience that was over, the audience was an amalgam of but affinity to pitch and for an immaginary line on the stage.
The one dramatic touch to the event spectacle was added back stage, when Josephine Dunn, premiere dancer of the emotional stress of her part.
The matched critised halu chorus waited until it, third act before it began. It followed with the "hoey" chorus found it difficult to trust to the outside. The cues and curtain only were badly managed Fiskel and Green Days. For Howard Fiskel and Green Days.
"Too Pad. Dick."
"Too bad, Dick," one of them said,
"You worked darn hard, I know."
"Watter!" Dick earned.
After the show several students met Dick Matthews, director, in the De Lare Café.
The crowd got a bick kick when Palmer Stephen, as Ensign Jones, the leading man, kissed Billie Greene, as Princess Kawaii. The kiss was accompanied by the ringing of a drum and a shriek from frat brothers in the audience. It was reported by some of the stage hands that "the dean of women stepped behind the scenes after the show and told the enqnion that he would have to take his hips shorter and not deliver so long, but the crowd had demonstrated its approval and pennants. Later when Veda粉末er took a lighted cigarette in her hand, the dean again grew worried.
Treasures Vanity Sought For
When the cavity around an eye on the first act, a bunch of flashlight bearers were searching the stage for lost keys and one woman presented the first obstacle to the plot. Other obstacles were furnished by the property men, scene shifters and the handler of the spot light. When Ennis Knight was supposed to tell Kalowaf of his great love for her husband, he said, "But You," the electrician had apparently gone out to smoke a cigarette.
The audience marveled at the speed with which the stage manager and his assistant changed the scenes, as each scene was repeated each secue, although in the second set, Kabalou and the enqen could have sung solos and ducts in their corner of the stair while the rest of the audience were being redressed for following seqs.
The crowd seemed pleased with the work of the three sailors, little Oswald and Renald Jehutsein's orchestra. Aline Ehclair's dance was the superb thing they had done to the part of the performance. The accompanying dancers in the Tau Sigma balllet found hard to dance to music they had never heard before.
Red Riding Hoof Smiles
Douley couldn't sing and didn't learn how to dance while Little Red Riding Hoof net was rather appropriately applauded. Virgil Sams who accompanied her, sang some old songs and said some naughty words on the beach. The beach conkers, were well received.
The crowd waited all during the performance for the outstanding music and one not too much to carry away in their hands. "Wings-Bingo-Bingo-Bang!" "King of These Islands," and "I've Found My Treasure" were the only ones to have been composed ever night.
W, S. G. A. will present its "octb" again this afternoon and tonight. With the exception of the bar-room scene which the dean of women has ordered changed, the play will be performed at noon on Friday night. At Watkins National Bank this noon it was said that the supply of premise was almost exhausted.
Deight M. Brown and Charles Mitchell were awarded first mention on their drawings in the sophomore architectural design class. The problem was a numerical arch and the drawings were judged by the faculty committee and the construction committee "the second award," Frederick Amoe and Eugene L. Mannen.
