THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
NORWEIGIAN ACTRESS WILL ENTERTAIN K. U
Madame Borgny Hammer and Her Company Will be Here December 5 and 6
The College-Alumnae are bringing Madame Hammer here to present three Ibis plays December 5 and 6. They will be given in Robinson Gymnastics and a large stage is being built to accommodate them.
"The purpose of bringing Madame Hammer," said Miss Margaret Lynn, "is to give the students something that is really worth while along dramatic lines and also to acquaint them with the Norwegian art.
Madame Hammer is the greatest Norwegian actress of today and has acquired much fame at the National Theater at Christiana, Norway. She has played with great success in the important theaters in France and Germany, and has received her preliminary debut in Amager making it ranked by critics to be on the level with Nazimova and Mrs. Fiske, and some have even ranked her above them.
Madame Hammer came to this country to join her husband, who was sent by the king of Norway as the head of the Norwegian musical Association and to tour the United States and Bahamas for the Norwegian music and art. The purpose of the association was somewhat similar to that of the Russian Ballet, sent here by the Russian government some years ago, or the Vatican. Madame Hammer was so impressed by their performance decided to remain temporarily and tour the country so she organized her company. But unlike most foreign actresses, who prefer to in their own language, Madame Hammer first mas-English language and then studied the English language and then presented her plays in English.
The plays to be presented are from Isen, the greatest Scandinavian playwright. There is no one man whose plays have been so popular in Europe widely translated. He is one of the greatest attractors of modern times.
According to Miss Lynn, this no doubt will be the greatest dramatic treat here this year. Madame Hammer is making a short tour of six universities in order to the universities of the country before going to New York to make her debut.
The plays to be presented are: "A Dolls' House," "The Master Builder," and "Holdt Galer." The company is comprised of Americans and Norwegians.

Committee Makes Plans For Engineer-Law Debate
The first plans for the law-engineer debate were made Thursday afternoon when a committee composed of Cobb, Taylor and Walsh of the School of Law met with Johnson, Bennett and McGee of the School of Engineering and drew up the following question: "Resolved, That strikes in industries engaged in the production of food, fuel and transportation should be prohibited by Federal Law, and all industries must labor and capital in such industries as pulmonary arbitration" (Constitutional assumed). The engineers won the toss and will have a week's time in which to make a choice of sides.
The consideration for this debate is a silver cup presented by Delta Sigma Rho which was won last year by the engineers in the first of a series between the two schools. The school winning three contests will get permanent possession of the trophy. Last year Fraser Hall was filled at the university as there seems to be unusual interest that he should likely that the debate will be held in the gym, in order to accommodate the crowd.
Prof. Henry Shim of the department of public speaking informed the committee that the best man availably subjected to act as judges in this debate.

Deutsceses Tageszeitung Fears France and England— Need U. S. Aid
Berlin, November 25—America's position in European affairs is not that "ot a feather guest who can depart if the play is displaying" the Deutschen Tagezeitung declared today.
"America evidently wants it to remain our European situation," said the Zeitung, "Leaving France and England to work their bitter wills against Germany." Germany should pay a price too high to interest American jobs. Americans have sacrificed American aid to bring her people on life, the newspaper concluded.
America is destined to have a tremendous interest in what Germany and Russia may do the newspaper added, declaring that for this reason, the United States cannot remain aloof.
