Musical Comedy Is to Be Presented March 29 and 30
Final Tryouts Will Be Help Before Glee Club Goes East to Enter Contest
"Definite plans are under way for the "Wanno-Pingu," the team that is to be given on Monday and Tuesday nights, March 29 and 30." Dick Matthews, c26, director said this month that his team will make a matinee performance on Tuesday.
The plot of the comedy deals with a treasure hunt in the South Sea Isles, and although the settings will be more or less conventional, the action of the plot has been both cleverly and ingeniously worked out to provide something entirely different. The entire story revolves around Days," which was given last year, and and will include a greater variety of musical numbers.
More Tryouts to Be Held
Matthews said that additional tryouts will be held March 1, and the final cast will be announced on March
"If will be necessary for all glee b members to try out at that time sake of the ggle club trials. At once will not begin until after their return."
"We will definitely use the choruses which were selected for "The Little Prince," but the others are being made to place the remainder of the cast in the comedy also." Matthieu said, "but naturally there will have to be some changes."
Music by Helen Marcell
Helen Marcell has written all the music for the production and Helen Skilton the libretto. All that remains to be done before the trysts include a few minor characters in the libretto, but those are not designed by Either McCanley and Helen Skilton. They will be executed by the Kansas City Costume Company. Arrangements are being made both in Tosca and Kansas City for agency and preside over the final days of the doubletime of trysts will appear in the Kansas.

Religious Week Opens With Dinner for Fitch in Commons Monday
Principal Speaker Gives Opinion on Tuesday's Number of the "hope"
A dinner which married the beginning of the Religious Week program was held Monday evening at the University Commons. It was given in honor of Dr. Albert F. Elfisch. About 150 students and faculty members attended.
The program started at 5:30 with the singing of the "Crimson and Blue" after which Richard Hanson, presale for Y, M, C, M, A, asked the blessing.
Margaret Cookell, fa26, same two songs, and Frances Robinson, fa28, gave two violin notes. Ted Shultz, same two songs, and Eccles, chairman of the Religious Week committee, who made a short speech to the students. He said Religious Week was for the students and not for them; he so conducted us to benefit them.
Prof. Allen Crafton of the department of speech and dramatic art introduced Doctor Fitch. They were friends and friends at Harvard University.
Doctor Fitch had with him the butt of Professor Craftsff's friendship, "I always feel at home with actors, playwrights, poets and painters," said Doctor Fich. "Many ministers do not feel in sympathy with them but I feel that they who are trying to do ministerial work are holding the concern of all ministers."
Dr. Fitch had with him the bias issue of the Dove, which he stated to thought at first glance was the Police Gunette. He referred to the police gunette as being on campus on another account." He expressed a liking for the sativa contained in the sheet and smoke of it as "gennine." "A sativist of religion," said Doctor Fitch, "is a man who has a keen sense of the incongruities in the moral situations. Satira is a moral sense expressing itself through the mind. Moral health on the campus does not worry us but the real tragedy there would be intellectual indifference and moral dollsiness." He quoted Fitch and expressed the opinion that it was "not immoral, but indecant."
Doctor Fitch told something of his meeting with the Student Conference at Evansston, HI. He said the students had been affected by a lack of chiology and a conservative interest in religion. "The practical questions of today were taken up with courage and moral confidence, but when some faculty members also affected the campus it was referred to a committee not yet formed and taken off the floor with annoying speed. The students showed enough enthusiasm for their issues but chose the wrong issue."
Doctor Fitch closed his talk with the statement that an honest speaker on religion should not attempt to solve out to clarify problems that the individual might solve them himself, "I hate sentiment," he said. "but I like men and women who are biologically and ethnically diverse." But he not wish to give advice to the students but to help them to give advice to themselves."

Astronomers Hold Belief That Mars Will Support Life
Phenix, Arconio, Feb. 15—Good-night upon Mars are such as to make it reasonable to suppose that life, as bison, is visible on the planet.
Flagstaff Observers Read
Papers at Conventions
Giving Reasons
for Stand
This statement was made by Dr. E, B. Fibbler and Dr. C, O. Lampman of Lowell conservatory, Flight staff, in papers presented today here for the U.S. Conference of the American Association for the advancement of science.
Many astronomers, notably those of Mount Wilson observatory, Pandela, Cali., do not think Mars has conditions to support life.
Flagstaff, astron-users, however,
gave the following reasons to support
their beliefs:
1. There is evidence that Mars has an atmosphere which contains oxygen and water vapors. The admitted, in this way, that the atmosphere of Mars is probably less than that on the high mountains of of our continent; but they insisted that there is much larger amount of it on the planet than most astronauts.
2. Clouds of mist are observed in the Martian atmosphere.
3. Polar caps on Mars, which are white, behave just as they would if formed of ice and snow.
4. Observations of the planet's surface, both by visual and photographic means, show a fine network of the so-called canals.
5. While Mars is farther from the sun than is the earth and therefore receives less light and heat from it yet indicates tend to prove that it receives a sufficiency of both. Measurements indicate that Mars absorbs more of the energy it gets from the sun than does the earth, and deflects some of that energy by its gravity.
6. Measurements of the heat radiation given out by Mars indicate that the temperature rose at times from 10 to 60 degrees.
Foster Sends Out Letters
High School Seniors to Get University Catalogs
The office of the registrar is sending out 14,000 personal letters to high school students throughout the state. Registrator George O. Foster said that while the University does not advise students in newspapers about it, it is necessary to reach prospective students through direct communication.
The postage alone will cost about $280 and the printing will amount to about $30. This advertising, however, is very small for an institution such as the University of Kansas. The Kansas City Star and other papers have no copyright in their newspapers. "Everybody in the state is supposed to know about the University of Kansas and it should not need any advertisement," the registrar explained. "The fact is that the taxpayers themselves pay their taxes without looking to see where the money goes, or what part they pay to
After sending out the personal letters the registrar intends to send each senior a University catalog.

This was the behemoth which Dr. Albert Parker Fitch pronounced this morning at the opening conversation of the Religious week program. Dr. Albert P. Fitch, who is a professor of the history of religions, said that the attitudes of students so religion into two chief classes, that of "the young radicals" and that of "the young pagans," the latter class being predominant. Three other groups represented in campus attitudes, he said, were "the young conservatives" "the young humanizationists" "new scientific humanitarianism."
"The young paganaga are our most richest problem." Doctor Fitch describes his work in the dark, mysterious brazen and their intellectual majesty. Their language is painful, profound and frequent" he said in a fourth reading from his audience.
Fitch Canaries University
inductively vacant, sentimental, vulgar and labiistic, was the typical compulsory common to all universal education of the history of religion.
"But it is not the fault of the university. The young pagan is the natural product of American culture, a kind of national society, not an artificial society."
Doctor Pitch had some blame at its door of the university, however, is rewarded them for teaching half maths.
"The university teaches you to make money, not what to get with it. You can't buy the appreciation of pleasure in sculpture, of sculpture, of books."
Differences Young Radicals
"The young radicals are trying to get down to the rules of things. Of course they have an unconscious dogma and a reverence that leads them into a new kind of orthodoxy, but that is not their vulgarity of the same purpose."
"The object of the university," Doc Fitch said, "to take the young radical and temper and Catholicize his mind." Then he is the "hope of the fu-
In regard to the other three classes of students, Fitch Pitch prophesied a decline in the number of the "young unterstutes," the products of a past generation, or the "young humanitarians," were described as the products of the first euthanasia over the promise made by mechanical invocation and surgery. They were the optimists and unfounded believers in progress.
The plan of this last class or students was having taken by a new type of humanitarian, Doctor Fitch said. "The new humanitarian are the ruins of an era of extreme economic, political and religious conservatism when I proposed would be the outcome of the war."
Comments on Science
He described this class as placing a chief reliance on science, "Science is one of the essential approaches to understanding speech," his comment on this faith.
In his chasing remarks Doctor Fitch in, "the essence of a university is to give a comprehensive view of life."
