Miss Dorothea Spinney
To Present "Hamlet" Here
Program of One-Act Plays Will Include Barrie's "Rosalind"
Mass Dorothea Spinney, the noted English actress, who presented "Iphigenia of Euripides" in Fraser Chapel February 6, will give three one-act plays and "Hamlet" during the remainder of her visit in Lawrence.
An Irish play, "The Traveling Man," by Lady Gregory, is a simple little play, the scene of action taking place in a kitchen in Ireland. It is a study in the Celtic imagination. The last time Miss Spinney presented this play was before the Detroit Men's Athletic Club.
"A maker of Dreams," a Pierrot play is, according to Miss Spinney, "nothing more than a whimsical bable, full of poetry, imagery, and great fun." It was written by Oliphant Down, who was killed during the war.
The comedy, "Rosalind," by J. W. Barrie, is a story of a star who played in Shakespeare's "Rosalind" and was one of the greatest actors ever been in love with a stage star.
These three one-act plays will be given at the Unitarian Church, February 24, at 8:15 o'clock at the Unitarian Church also, February 27, at 8:15 o'clock.

Navy Men Can Secure
Clothes from Great Lakes
"The men who were in the naval section of the S. A, T, C, can now draw clothing, but the government will not refund the money equivalent if the party does not wish to draw the uniform," said Ensign D. E. Finnegan. He also says, "Men who have not received a blank should write to Lieutenant C. G. Sporer, District Disbursing Officer, Great Lakes, Ill., and inform him to that effect."

Senate and Student Representatives Meet To Discuss Party Prices
Fraternities Think They Should Govern the Price of Own Parties
At the joint conference yesterday of the auditing committee of the student interests committee of the Senate, representatives of the two Pan-Hellenic organizations, and representatives of all social organizations met to discuss the subject of the price charged for dances given by social organizations.
attributions.
"No agreement was reached," Dean Patterson, chairman of the meeting said today, "as the representatives brought no information with them. Another meeting will be called for the purpose of ascertaining what the Pan-Hellenic organizations are willing to do in the way of regulating their expenses at dances.
"Representatives seemed to be of the opinion that the fraternities and sororities alone should decide the cost of dances," he went on to say, "Later it was pointed out that the Senate had already regulated the price of dances and that the desire of the conference was to secure the co-operation of the social organizations and later to the Pan-Hellenic organizations regulate these matters themselves. The representatives of the student societies promised to present this view to their chapters."
"The conference practically agreed that there was a distinction between the subscription dances to which tickets are sold and those given by social organizations which are purely invitational affairs. A line will be drawn on this distinction about the cost of the dances. When this was made clear the representatives were of the opinion that an agreement could be reached at the next meeting. They will bring data to this meeting showing the number attending these dances and the cost," said Dean Patterson.
School of Engineering Enrollment is Growing
Returning Students from Mili tary Service Puts School On Pre-War Basis
The present enrollment of the School of Engineering is 325, according to records in the dean's office. This indicates that enrollment in the school is growing steadily as former students return from military service and that the attendance will probably be back on a pre-war basis in another year. The enrollment of the spring term, 1917, just before the United States entered the war, was 413. Of this number 58 withdrew before the end of the semester. Enrollment for the spring term, 1918, was 250. The enrollment in the fall of 1918 was 955,
including 911 in the S.A.T.C. This number decreased, however, until only 480 were attending at the end of the quarter when the S.A.T.C. as demobilized.
The largest enrollment in a normal year ever recorded in the School of Engineering was in 1908, when a total of 481 were taking work in the various departments.
