MEAN FARMER ABOUT TO POUNCE—The farmer in the University Children's Theater production of "Peter Rabbit" is Jim Weslin and he's about to pounce on, left to right: Mary Ruth Andes, Kathy Moon (sparrow), Austin Hall
(Peter) and Grace Thomas (sparrow). The production will be held in Green Theater Thursday and Friday at 4:15 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. University students are directing the play which is open to the public.
She Had That Lacquered Look
Spring seems to have a marked effect on faculty as well as students.
Upon arriving a few minutes late for a class, an instructor stated that in her sleepy daze and haste she had indeed made waste while getting ready for class.
Instead of using hair spray on her hair, she had sprayed on a liberal amount of quick dry spray, a fingernail polish drying agent.
GSP For Rent For Graduation
Because of a shortage of housing facilities in Lawrence, Commencement guests can rent rooms in Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall June 1, 2 and 3. J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories, said Thursday.
"While we are not trying to compete with hotels and motels, we feel that commencement guests deserve the best of attention," Mr. Wilson said.
This is the first year Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall has been available for commencement weekend although North College Hall has been used.
The time of William P. Odom's flight of 19,645 miles around the world in 1947 was 75 hours, 5 minutes, 11 seconds.
Children To Present 'Peter Rabbit'
The University Children's Theater wil present the childhood favorite, "Peter Rabbit," in Green Theater Thursday and Fri 4:15 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
"The development of a children's theater gives college students opportunity to see theater of all kinds," said Miss Sally Six, instructor of speech and drama and director of the play.
"Marco Polo," the Children's Theater presentation earlier this season, had a cast of University students and two junior high school students. "Peter Rabbit" has a cast of all junior high school students. It is the first play that the Theater has done for the age group of two years to seven years old.
The cast includes Mary Ruth Andes, daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Ammon Andes; Justin Hill, son of Mr. and Mrs. Justin Hill; Martha Murphy, daughter of Chancellor and Mrs. Franklin D. Murphy, Mary Godfrey, daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Virgil Godfrey; Mary Sue James, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford James.
Ann Herman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Herman; Grace Thomas, daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Charles H. Thomas; Kathy Moon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Moon; Susan Smith, daughter of Prof. and Mrs. William P. Smith, and Jim Wedin, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Wedin.
University students are doing the technical work of production, set design, costumes, make-up, and lighting.
Water hyacinth is dense enough to support a man's weight, and the growth will close streams. In Louisiana where canals are the only access to many homes and oil fields, it affects irrigation, flood control, and drainage.
