John Milton's Masque "Comus" Delights Crowd In Out-of-Door Theater
Numerous Requests Made That Dramatic Club Repeat Performance
Regardless of the strong cold north wind sweeping down on the amphitheater on the campus, about 400 persons saw the performance of John Milton's "Comus" last night. Although the audience was reduced by the weather the performance itself was no marred.
The stage was set off by screens of branches and had the effect of a natural forest setting. The use of different colored lights with the spotlight gave an unusual and pleasing lighting effect upon the green background. The costumes of all the characters in the cast and the dancers were elaborate and fitting for the play.
Each member of the speaking cast is to be commended for the good voice work in making themselves heard against the strong wind. Each actor had the characterization of his part worked out well and the whole play had the touch of a finished production. The members of the cast were Florence Kemp, Robert Searle, Stewart, Burney Miller, Helen Clark, Karl Brown, and Raymond Darby.
The costumed dances were especially effective and worked in well with the acting parts. The nymph dance with the flowing costumes was well received by the audience. Dorothy Cole was in charge of the dances. There have been a number of requests from both the faculty and the students but none of them have been met by Prof. Arthur MacMurray of the department of public speaking said this morning that no plans had been made to give the play again.

Boarders Eat Food In Accord With Hooverism
Corn Bread and Substitutes
Used; Scraps and Left-overs -
*
Recent articles were printed in Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City papers concerning the waste of food by fraternities and sororites at K. U. Interviews with house mothers and stewardess of the various organizations show that food is saved by fraternities, sororites, and boarding clubs.
A majority of the sororites never use white bread, and sororities and fraternities who still use the white bread, have it but once or twice a week. Every scrap of bread is used in bread puddings and dressings, the house mothers report. At one sorority they have made the rule that any woman wanting a "piece" be served to her sisters, but must use the scraps of toast or muffins left from meals. This same sorority substitutes eggs and macaroni is a great deal for meat, and corn bread is served three times a week.
Practically all fraternities have meat for lunch on an average of once or twice a week. All that one feats are worthless. We boil potato skins and coffee grounds.
Another house mother said that while they have plenty to eat, every scrap is saved and utilized. Her belief is that most waste comes from poor management in buying, and also poor cooking.
A house on fraternity row reports that it has no white bread or biscuits, no sugar or cereals, dessert but three times a week, and has had no cake since September.
Are Saved
