WORK PROGRESSES—Construction work on the mammalian genetics addition to Snow Hall is progressing rapidly but not as fast as was expected. The $220,000 addition was to be ready in early spring but probably will not open its doors until late spring.
23 Original Plays Submitted
The playwriting contest initiated by the department of speech and drama, has drawn 23 original plays from 14 states.
Allen Crafton, professor of speech and drama, said judging is in its final week, with two plays still in consideration by the judging committee.
"Entries ranged from New York to Hawaii and from Minnesota to Florida," said Prof. Crafton.
"Subject matter shows great variety. Among the topics were the hydrogen bomb, World War II, the rehabilitation of convicts, the Dominican Order, Joan of Arc, high school students, big business, mol-
ern advertising, and the problem of divorce."
Prof. Crafton said the plays cover a span of time from the 13th century to the age of outer space some time in the future.
"The experience and ability of the playwrights vary greatly also, but this is to be expected. Indeed, it is our purpose to encourage the amateur to develop his talents.
"We are most gratified with the response this year. Our thanks go to the Centron Corporation and to all our entrants. We hope that next year's contest will be even more successful." Prof Cratton said.
The contest was initiated this year
as a result of a special prize being donated by the Centron Corp., a Lawrence motion picture firm. Centron has provided $100 to be given as first prize for the best single play.
This money will be given the playwright in the form of royalties for a minimum performance schedule of four nights early in May.
In addition to Prof. Crafton, the judging committee consists of Lewin Goff, director of the University Theatre; Gene Courtney, vice president of the Centron Corp.; and Marvin Carlson, Wichita graduate student and president of the University Players.
A man who went broke in business said, "I blame it all on advertising."
His friend replied, "What do you mean? You never did any advertising."
"I know," was his answer, "but my competitors did."

Graft, Waste to Be Told in Speech Contest
Bradley Rambat, Bird City sophomore, will represent the University at the state oratorical contest to be held here March 21.
Rambat will repeat a speech that made him a first place winner of a preliminary contest sponsored by Delta Sigma Rho.
Rambat's prize winning speech was entitled, "Graft In the Armed Services."

Rambat said that he saw one service man almost get away with a light airplane.
He gave the low pay which service men get as one reason for a great percentage of the graft.
