No.141
First to Be Given June 9 Simultaneously With Summer Session Opening
Simultaneously with the opening on the University of Kansas summer session on June 9, will be given the first of a series of performances by the Little Theater Company composed of University students and graduates.
The purpose of the company is to offer a variety of plays of literary excellence, Broadway successes, modern and costume plays, comedy and tragedy, long plays and anecd plays, students and townpeople of Lawrence.
Little Theater Will Be Used
The Little Theater in Green Hall will be made comfortable for the summer and the performances will be given there. The plays will be presented four nights a week and a new bill will be shown each season. Season tickets will be sold. Tickets will be available for single performance also.
"This will afford the public an opportunity to see good drama presented in a manner which has not been available in Lawrence before," said E. J. Linderman, assistant director, this morning. "This will be invaluable to those who are interested in education, and this will serve as a teacher for there are many opportunities to direct and coach plays in school or local productions."
Directors Approve
Little theaters are maintained at other universities and have proven very satisfactory. The Chicago Playmakers, the Chicago Little Theater the Des Moines Little Theater, and other group theaters are active in the United States.
The effort of the University of Kansas hopes to receive recognition through its productions and the encounters with students and the directors of the summer session.
The Kansas University Players will be under the direction of Prof. Allen Crafton, head of the department of speech and dramatic art. The personnel of the players will be announced later.

(United Press)
Havana, Venezuela 23 — A treasury hunt for revolutionary funds amounting to $200,000. In United States currency is being organized by Veterans of the Cuban War for Freedom, at Aguacate, Cuba.
According to the veterans, just before the battleship Maine was blown up in Havana harbor in 1898, a Cuban pilibustering expedition raised $290,000 in the United States. The Spaniards, getting wind of the fund, detailed soldiers from Havana to go to Aguacate to investigate the rumor. I. Spaniards were successful in the campaign; they managed to bring the money and pursued them so closely that one of the Cubans buried the money in a secret cache. The
The remainder of the band now believe they have located the approximate location of the treasure on a farm owned by an American and Japanese company, for them from the owner to search for the money on his property.

Reckless Drivers Must Go, Hoover Tells Conference
Highway Laws Infeffective Without Enforcement, Says Commerce
Secretary
(United States)
Washington, March 23.—The criminal recklessness must be driven from the streets to make those paths secure. The Secretary of Commerce Hoover today, in opening the sectional conference on highway safety.
More than one thousand delegates, including the official representatives of 43 states designated by the governors are asked to call a call to a bill President Coolidge. General reports were admitted and will form basis of discussion toward the reduction of accident congestion in the United States.
"Federal laws meeting uniform requirements are needed but they will be of no benefit without enforcement. Without certain enforcement, without certain assurance of the law, without some court method by which the negligent and incompetent can be driven from the streets and highways, the time that has been spent considering safety safety has been less he said.
Last year 43,900 persons were killed and 600,000 were injured in traffic accidents in the United States.
Reporters Seldom Speak
Shorthand Writers Translate Fast Senate Talk
(United Press)
Washington, March 23. - The man who does the most and says the least when the United States Senate is a session is the senate reporter—that remarkable human machine able to take down 250 words a minute, to hear above the din of half a dozen or more voices speaking at the same time, and to take down all that is said without吓ting or asking a senator to repeat.
The Vice President at least is permitted to put the question, to rule on a point of order, or to announce a vote, but the senate reporter says not one word as part of the chamber to another in order to be close to the senator who is speaking.
There are six of these senate reporters—the same number as in the House. They work in 15 minute shifts, spending the time between reporting and preparing the copy and putting it in shape for the Congressional Record.
It is up to the senate reporter to see that the proceedings are printed in the Record in strictly parliamentarian order. For instance, if a senator refers to a resolution as an senator to amend it, it will be amended simply as an amendment, it is a part of the senate reporter's job to send it to the printer as if the senator had used the right form. The position of senate reporter is the most enviled one in the shorthand world. It pays $6,000 a year, which is considered a pretty good salary for a senator. The process, congress takes each year.
E. C. Bricken is again owner of the Oreand Cafe, commonly known as "Brick's" to the students of the University.

Bricken Again Becomes Owner of Oread Cafe
For the past three years Mr. Bricken has been saleman for the National Cash Register Company for Douglas county and surrounding county.
Mr. Bricken said there would be no change in the policy of the cafe until the summer months when he would make a few changes.

As to the meaning of his other phrases there is not doubt even to our modern minds. In his aphorism, and in all the others that have come down to us, there is apparent an important idea written in expression—the idea of moderation.
It is obvious that we of this generation love an appearance of business. We pride ourselves on our strentuosity; we even claim to find in ease activity our main joy in living. Disregarding the question if a religion

On every hand he sees health impaired by chronic fatigue; disease and premature death induced by strain; mental disordance and early decay brought on by recourse over to catering for stimulation.

Indeed, it may be well that in respect to food, play, work and perhaps—even little rather than too much—for it seems to be still true that "all things in excess bring troubles to men."

Vienna Resumes Gayety
Pre-War Position Returns With Music and Arts
(United Press)
Vienna, March 23—As an important political capital Vienna is no more; but as a city for music, arts, and politics it is also returning to her pre-war position.
Despite many financial troubles, the opera is back to its pre-war status. With the exception of the Metropolitan of New York, according to general admission, the Vienna opera has no close rivals anywhere.
In the Vienna studios many foreign artists, as well as local celebrities, are continually busy, a fact of which one is reminded almost daily by exhibitions of new paintings and sculptures.
It is in the realm of gaister rather in her opera and her studios, however, that the casual traveler would find Vienna most charming. In 1793 and 1820, on the floors of her many ballrooms and dance palaces they would see a night which was unknown five years ago. As in the imperial preface to *The Art of Painting* troubles each evening in the giddy whirl of the famous Vienna waltz.
The dance fever has been increasing in intensity for several years past. During 1924 there were 3,064 balls. In 1925 this number increased to 4,285. From 1927 this year 2,527 dances were held, an average of more than eight each night—and this does not include the cabaret, taecoes, cafes, hotels, etc., which are open for dancing each afternoon only those specially arranged balls for which official permission must be obtained from the city authorities.
