Liberace To Play
K.C. Starlight Theater Sets Record Budget
The seventh Starlight Theater season will get under way June 17 with such a costly array of talent that the 1957 budget has soared to record-smashing proportions of $669, 551.
The expenditures represents an increase of $81,000 over the 1956 budget and most of it has gone in big salaries to "name" performers. It is the direct result of Starlight's new policy of providing Hollywood and Broadway talent in each of its musical attractions.
Big names already signed, in addition to Liberace, include Howard Keel, Martha Wright, Paul Gilbert, Hal Ler Roy, Denise Lor. Jill Corey, Hildegarde, Lillian Roth, Don Cornell, Fran Warren, Julie Wilson, Tony Bennett, Gale Gordon and Gretchen Wyler.
From the opening production—the "Liberace Musical Revue"—down through the closing show—"Show Boat"—there will be a parade of stars. Many of them will be making initial Starlight appearances. There will also be many veterans of the Swope Park playhouse returning for new roles. In this latter group, for example, will be Jim Hawthorne, Robert Rousseville, John Tyers, Edwin Steffe, Terry Sauders, Jessie Elliott, Webb Tilton and others.
Expect Attendance Mark Liberace in the opening attraction has sent advance ticket sales well beyond the total of a year ago. There is
Other shows, following the Liberace revue, will be South Pacific, June 24 to July 7; High Button Shoes, July 8 to 14; Can-Can, July 15 to 21; By The Beautiful Sea, July 22 to 28; The Pajama Game, July 29 to Aug. 4; Panama Hattie, Aug. 5 to 11; Silk Stockings, Aug. 12 to 18 Damn Yankees, Aug. 19 to 25; and Show Boat, Aug. 26 to Sept. 8.
a strong possibility that before the week is out, a new attendance mark may be established, eclipsing the 46.-053 who paid last July to see Gisele MacKenzie in "Annie, Get Your Gun."
Liberace has advised that he will be on stage virtually all of the time in the $2_{1/2}$ hour show. He will sing, dance, provide a steady flow of patter and, of course, play the piano. His fabulous wardrobe will be on display and he will sing duets with Miss Fenn, one of them featuring special lyrics to the melody, "Mutual Admiration Society." One major production number will be "I Could Have Danced All Night."
Miss Fenn will sing several Italian arias and one of her solos will be "Ciir Biri Bin." George Liberace, meanwhile, will contribute violin solos and participate in some renatured with his brother.
Undergraduates To Serve As Research Assistants
Seventeen undergraduates in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have been selected as the first Carnegie research assistants.

The students were appointed by the University and will be paid $300 for nine months.
The committee which chose the students included Francis Heller, professor of political science, chairman; Ralph N. Adams, assistant professor of chemistry; William Gilbert, assistant professor of history; David Paretsky, associate professor of bacteriology, and George R. Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

The students are Barbara J. Booker, Augusta sophomore, to work with Cornelia Downs, professor of bacteriology; James W. Cederberg, Herndon freshman, with Jacob Kleinberg, professor of chemistry; Jane E. Crow, Topeka freshman, with J. T. Gullahorn, assistant professor of sociology; Gilbert M. Cuthbertson, Leavenworth sophomore, with Ethan P. Allen, professor of political science.

They are Clarence S. Buller, Peabody senior, who will work with Prof. Paretsky; and Don R. Bowen, Salina sophomore, and Richard I. Stephenson, Augusta junior, both of whom will work with Dr. Heller.
Language Study And Recreation Program Begins
Cool! - That's The Library
Members of the International Club will meet Saturday at 7 p.m. in front of the Student Union, Mohamed Kazam, Egypt graduate student, announced today. They will plan summer activities at that time.
International Club To Meet
Radiocasts for World Series games began in 1921.
Watson undergraduate library will be the ideal place to study if the weather is hot. The library and adjacent smoking room are both air conditioned. Blowers circulate the air when cooling is unneeded.
A French, German, and Spanish Recreational Program, sponsored by the Lawrence Recreation Commission and the City Board of Education, began Monday at the Lawrence Junior High School. The school will continue through July 19.
There are two ceiling hung mechanical refrigeration units in the library and one in the smoking room.
The air conditioning units were installed in the spring of 1955 as a regular university improvement.
"These are set so that the temperature won't go above 75 to 80 degrees," said Robert L. Talmadge, associate director of the library.
The program is for boys and girls in the intermediate grades and junior high school. Classes are held in the mornings.
Other air conditioned buildings and rooms on the campus are the Student Union, Bailey Hall, and the engineering library in Marvin Hall.
KU students teaching languages through the recreation program are Cherie Wray, Kansas City, Mo. senior; Erna Zellmayer, Australia graduate student; Mary F. Poe, Mountain Grove, Mo. graduate student, and Carolyn Oman, Lawrence graduate student.
"This is a new program which puts language on a practical basis." said Dr. George Kreye, associate professor of German. "The boys and girls learn the language by playing games in French, German, or Spanish. When they begin to play 'Jai Alai' they need a new set of teachers."
Miss Wray and Miss Oman teach French, Miss Poe teaches Spanish, and Miss Zellmayr is teaching German.
Enrollment is now being held at the Lawrence Junior High school at 14th and Massachusetts streets.
Third Ehrsam Award Given
The third annual award of the J. B. Ehrsam and Sons Manufacturing Company's Scholarship to an entering freshman in the School of Engineering and Architecture has been announced.
The recipient of the award is Lloyd James Wood of Enterprise, who recently was graduated from Enterprise High School. He will receive $750 for his freshman year and will be eligible for the renewal of the scholarship for three additional years if he maintains the necessary academic standards.
The award will bring the total number of students enrolled next Fall under the scholarship to three. The award is made on the basis of academic record, character, social and leadership qualities and need.
$600 Scholarship Awarded To Senior
Awarding of the Cities Service Oil Company Scholarship to K. Ronald Higgins, a major in chemical engineering from Kansas City, Mo., was announced today by Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Summer Session Kansan
The award for the 1957-58 school year is worth $600 in cash to the student. Cities Service Oil Company of Bartlesville, Okla., makes the awarded to a student who will be a senior in the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Man's Home Isn't The Kitchen
Beginning cooks have a great tendency to experiment, and the male beginner is no exception. He is often more guilty than women.
In an apartment shared by three male students on the campus, there are many experiments in the kitchen. The experimentation is not so much concerned with new dishes, but with the flavoring of the common ones.
The flavoring experiment started by putting Worchestershire sauce on hamburgers and steaks. From there it progressed to adding onion and garlic salts.

The taste of the food is not the big complaint, but it has become very difficult to get a date after eating a home-cooked meal.
