Sophocles' Electra Presented on Campus In Real Greek Style
Interpretation of Difficult Roles Surprises Students of Ancient Drama
Play Sets Standard High
"Elettra," the most difficult and stunnendo production ever attempted by the dramatic art department of the University, in its history, played to a packed house Thursday night, and it was the verdict of the audience that it was the most successful ever seen on the Hill. It was the first attempt ever made toward a Greek Drama, on such a large scale, and the attention and applause received from the audience, proved the height of its success...
Miss Fletcher took the part of Electra with such ease and talent, that it was hard to believe that she was not a professional actress who had been playing the role for years. Everywhere in her work was evidenced unusual force of character and power. She carried her audience with her into every intense feeling and sense of joy and excitement of the Greek Drama, that she was a true Electra, and did most remarkable work.
PLAY SETS PACE
Craig Kennedy as Orestes, the brother who had been carried away by Paedagogus, also did very remarkable work. His voice was well fitted for his part, and he supported Electra with great ability.
The chorus and the dancers helped to make the play a success and Prof C. S. Skilton, who composed all the music used, aided the play materially
Prof. Arthur MacMurray, who directed the production, took the part of Paedagogus. His voice was disgused so that no one recognized him as the professor of dramatic art on the Hill. He deserves credit not only for making the play a success, but for his personal role as well.
Prof. J. G. Brandt, who has studied the play Electra in his courses here, said, "When they first attempted to put the play on here, I was a little dubious of its success. But I was charmed last night, and it was as great a success as any amateur cast could possibly have made it."

1919 Memorial Issue Of Kansas Engineer Will Be Out Monday
Plans Making to Print Publica tion Quarterly Beginning
Next Year
The Kansas Engineer, annual publication of the Associated Engineering Societies, will be ready for distribution Monday, announced Charles A. Kenner, editor-in-chief, today. This year's issue is a memorial number and contains the names of nearly eighteen hundred engineering students from a service, including about seven hundred in the S.A.T.A.C. The supreme honor roll名称 thirty-five who died in the service. One thousand copies are being printed. The magazine contains 120 pages, with sixteen pages of local and national advertising. The price this year is 50 cents; previously it was $6. The alumni circulation will be nearly a hundred more than in former years.
The four leading articles are: "A Short History of the 110th Engineers," Capt. L. R. Tilleston, e13; "Our Sanitary Engineering During the World War II," e10; "Can the Engineers Afford to Pass Up the R. O. T. C?." Lieut.-Col. H. E. Burdick; "The Engineering Department of the University of Kansas," R. A. Rutledge, e91, chief engineer of the southern lines of the railroad, and those stations are devoted to societies, field notes, camp, editorial, and alumni.

"We plan to publish the Kansas Engineer at least twice next year and probably four times," said Warren Blazier, editor for next year. "Probably one number will take the place of the Architectural Year Book, another the Kansas Chemallurgist, another the Kansas Mining man the new "K.E." not only a publication of the K.U. School of Engineering, but a magazine recording the industrial development of the middle west, with an enlarged circulation."
Engineers Go To Kansas City
The senior electrical engineering class, under the supervision of Prof. George C. Shaad, will spend Saturday in Kansas City inspecting all of the electric power plants and several manufacturing industries. The students who will go: Charles A. Keenan, Peter E. Schroeder, Smith, Warren E. Blazier, Cary P. Butcher, Jay D. Marrs, and Wayne E. Limbocker.

Senior Engineers Plan to Confer With Freshmen
"The idea of the plan," said Dean Walker, "is to make the freshman engineer feel at home and to appreciate his role in the city and of the School of Engineering."
Peace Book is Said to be One of Best Jayhawkers
Jayhawker Distributed To 500 Students Today At Fraser Check Stand
"One of the best Jayhawkers ever" was the comment of most of the University students today as they got back from the check stand in Fraer Hall.
WHY DID YOU ATTEND STUDENT DAY CONVOCATION?
Ever
The stand was not opened until 9:30 o'clock and students were lined up in the halls waiting for the Peace Book to be handed out. Only one hundred extra copies of the Jay-hawker were ordered, according to Swede Herbelman, whoHarms both he and most of this number had been sold by noon today.
"The color work of the Peace Book in general is very good and the tribute section is very interesting," Prof. W. A. Dill of the Department of Journalism said today in commenting on the 1919 Jayhawker.
More than 500 books had been distributed during the morning.
The tribute section, printed in khaki ink, and the military section are the two new sections added to this year's Jayhawker. Another new feature in the annual book is the giving of a special address to freshmen and sophomores; heretofore, pictures of just juniors and seniors being shown.
In the military section are group pictures of the different companies in the Student Army Training Corps, a group picture of the officers of this unit and individual pictures of the privates. The navy unit has its own pictures taken up by individual pictures and the roster of the unit. This is the first time this book has had such a section. Forty pages are given to this section.
Did you listen to criticisms of University affairs by student speakers today at the Annual Students' Day Convocation largely with an idea of getting an "earful of hot stuff?"
valuation on Power Plant
Prof. George C. Shaad, head of the department of electrical engineering,
Prof. F. Ellis Johnson, and Warren Blair,
the electrical engineering students, will go to
Wellington Monday to make a valuation of the Sumner County Light
and Power Company for rate making purposes. This work will take the entire week after it starts, and will through to Eates Park, Colo., to attend the Y.M. conference the latter part of June.
What are you, anyway?
The lower floor of the Administration Building will be ready for class work next fall. Material for lighting, heating, and water systems have been obtained and will be installed early in the summer
To Make Valuation on Power Plan
Would you attend a Students' Day Convocation wherein every remark of the speakers was studied dispassionate and sincere with wholly a desire to better the University and with no playing to the gallery by means of cut phrasing?
The Daily Kansan received some hard knocks from Student Day speakers, some of them no doubt fully justified. For such criticism The Daily Kansan is whole-heartedly thankful. It will help to make a better paper.
But are you taking all this criticism with a purpose that it will help you to try to co-operate for a better and better University? Or, did you listen to get an "earful of hot stuff," to saturate a piny soul with safe amusement of hearing a man or woman's speak his mind because he is not afraid to speak it?
If you can answer the first two foregoing entirely in the affirmative, your place is not in a university. You are fitted for a pick and shovel job that does not require constructive co-operation.
Did ou value most the sharp, witty, stinging attack, whether accurate or inaccurate, because it "handed something" to some person or some organization?

"One Senate member holds appointments on eleven of the faculty committees, and instead of an economics expert at the head of the vocational board of the University, we have a Latin professor," declared Dwight M. Smith, speaker for the College in the annual Students' Day convocation in Fraser Chapel this morning.

The Phi Psi have been teaching for some time in form of a barn dance, the location of the barn is on a farm belonging to one of their alumnus. All the boys were in favor of the dance but one, and he is "Piggy" Swenson. The girl who is also parting in barn dance, Pigg's feelings were dreadfully hurt because he thought they meant personal information by it.

Plain Tales From the Hill

Someone suggests that starting a campaign against exceeding the speed limit on the University campus opens up a broad field to be covered by programs of school. There are too many things on this campus that are "the limit."
Three States to Survey Zinc and Lead Fields
Pep was the watchdog of the meeting, from the time the K. U. Band, with J. C. McCanles leading them for the last time before the student body; blared the opening march and "Boola," and John Monteith, president Men's Student Council, called the meeting to order, to the end of the last speaker's talk. Criticisms of the Senate actions predominated through the talks, with especial emphasis on the way in which the governing body of the University had exercised "tyrannical" power over the social activities, while themselves in the courses of petty squabbles, and selfish actions in the exercise of processes by which they could relieve themselves of duties which were foisted upon the other less influential faculty members.

Joplin Chamber of Commerce Furnishes Headquarters for Undertaking
A tri-state arrangement for the investigation of the lead and zinc fields of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma has just been effected through the active state geologists, R. C. Moore, A. B. Beubler, and C. W. Shannon.
The Joplin Chamber of Commerce has given an office, fully equipped and with stenographers, one block west of the Conner Hotel in Joplin, used as a local head-quarter in the lee and as a first investigation of the three states.
It is planned to make all maps of the three fields on the same scale and all reports uniform so that they will be of value to the people of the whole district extending over the corners of the three states. A. C. Terrill will lead and zinc investigation in Kansas. The other two states also will have their representatives working in their fields. These representatives will report to the office in Joplin, in charge of this office, has not yet been appalled by the recent ranged to participate in the costs of investigation in that country. It has already appropriated $3,000 through the geological survey.
Smith also spoke of the need of the university for a more universal interest and participation in athletics. He said that students must consider the more immediate needs of the University, and the things that will do the institution the most good — such as a stadium, and athletic equipment — we now have.
"While three or four of the most estimable members of the Senate are gum-shoing around Lawrence and the campus, trying to catch violators of the laws of the Senate — spying on the students so they can report the violations of the senate and city laws to court by rights has no control over the state's laws of law and order, they are carrying on petty feud within their midst, trying to cheat their neighbor out of credit in selfish jealousy," said Willard Glaseco, School of Law speaker, who made the first talk on the subject.
LEGEND POLICE RAPED
"Annotated great cause for annoyance is the first pre-law work in the first year of college work," said Glaseo. "The faculty says that they have not enough men to carry on the instruction, when several of them, as members of the alleged 'silent' police spend most of their night on the trail of the alleged violators of Senate laws."
"The growing unrest of the student body is caused by the multitude of petty rules and regulations which theiversity Senate has enacted and forced the students to wear a "professional"body," said Paul A. Dichl, from the School of Engineering. "Most of the students of this school are old enough to vote and should not be treated as little children. Why, the Senate should attach a ruling to the long list of rules that the effect that students should be tucked in bed by the Dean of Women.
**STUDENTS" "RIGHTS" LACKING**
"A member of the Senate told me of a little incident which exemplifies an attitude of the minority of the Senate. He argued for a consideration of student rights other responded "Student Rights", there are no student rights except what the Senate decides to give them." Now, what does the student body think of that? The University sent men to war to fight against this "Me". Mr. Kaiser, and now when they return they find that they face the same thing right at home.
"STUDENTS RUN TO "DATES"
"The graduates are not held down by rules as are the student body," said W. E. Hoffman of the Graduate School, "but they roam at large and although they are a school of real life, they have great friends they are like the man without a country, fort they are a school without budget."
The University Daily Disgrace as well as the Lawrence Daily Regret, shows that we tend to the tendency of the stare客 over the date to dates, parties and ice-cream sodas.
"There is no room for the one-degree man in this world, and in fact he has to lose on an unsuspecting world. Our own tortorney is a one-degree man, and yet he questions the testimony of perfectly good witnesses and takes the testimony of a near-sighted, blind-fellino with broken spectacles."
William Rinehart of the School of Pharmacy gave a short speech in which he pleaded for the keeping of McCanes as band director and the result was university if inter-collegiate athletics were dropped.
