ALL WORK AND PLAY TOO—Simpkin, the cat, Grandpa Mouse, and the tailor appear in a scene from the Children's Theatre production of "Tailor of Gloucester." Left to right are Phil
Harrison, Rex Barrage, Lawrence junior high students, and Glenn Pierce, Lawrence graduate student. The play will be presented Thursday through Saturday.
Children's Play Due Thursday
The Children's Theatre production of "The Tailor of Gloucester" will be presented Thursday through Saturday in the experimental theater of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building. It will be presented at 4:15 p.m. Thursday and Friday and at 10 a.m. Saturday.
The play is being directed by Miss Sally Six, instructor in speech and drama. Two KU students are
in the cast: Bob Boberly, Excelsior Springs, M. freshman as the Lord Mayor, and Glenn Pierce, Lawrence graduate student, as the tailor. The rest of the cast is composed of junior high students.
The play was written by Mrs. Bernice Harvey, instructor in speech and drama, from an original story by Beatrix Potter. The story takes place in the 18th century and is concerned with a kindly tailor, some helpful mice and a cat named Simpkin.
"The purpose of the Children's Theatre," Miss Six said, "is to provide a good theater for little people. It is to give them the thrill of going to the theater and getting their minds off television. It also gives college students an opportunity to act with and before children."
Adults wishing to attend the play must be accompanied by a child, she said.
How About A Flu Shot?
One reason Watkins Hospital would like to get as many students as possible vaccinated for Asian flu is to prevent a depletion of funds available to the hospital.
Dr. Ralph I, Canuteson, director of the Student Health Service, said Monday the mild epidemic this fall was a "tremendous cost" and that shots would lessen the chance of a major epidemic, preventing the hospital from digging into the epidemic fund.
Only 14 persons received flu shots Monday, raising the total number to 4.323, still far short of the goal of 7,000.
At this time last year 348 patients were in the hospital, compared to 868 admitted so far this year.
Epidemic Food
"We'll hope to goodness this flu won't continue all year for we wi spend more than we take in," Dr. Cauleton said, "but we do have a $5,000 to $10,000 balance from other years which we put in an epidemic fund."
Dr. Canuteson said from 175 to 200 cases this year have been verified as Asian flu by taking a sampling of a group of students with influenza and applying the percentage of students who had the flu to ones who had the same symptoms.
"we've had a much higher payroll, a laundry bill that has doubled, a higher food bill even though the patients don't eat much, and our drugs have skyrocketed." he said.
75-85 Per Cent Use Hospital
75-85 Per Cent Use Hospital He said that over the year about 75 to 85 per cent of the students
come to the hospital at least once and the health fee paid by each student spread out over the year helps pay the cost.
Some smaller schools buy insurance and sell it to the students, he said, but these policies usually set up restrictions that don't provide money for personal consultation or for the first five days in the hospital. Actually not many students stay in the hospital for five days, he said.
"Russian Church Language and Music" will be discussed by George Ivask, assistant professor of German, at the Russian Club at 4 p.m. today in the Student Union Trophy room. Sam F. Anderson, instructor of German, will play samples of Russian church music on a phonograph.

Stouffer Bids Due Thursday
J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories, will go to Toneka Thursday for the opening of bids for the second group of married students housing apartments at Stouffer Place.
The addition, of ten buildings each with 12 apartments, will double the size of Stouffer Place. KU has received approval of a $1,065,000 federal loan for the adition.
It is hoped that the project will be completed by September of 1958, but delays in planning and preparing bids have put it about 60 days behind schedule. The addition will be northeast of the present buildings, at 19th and Iowa Streets, southwest of Allen Field House.

Guest Stars Help Students,Goff Says
Lewin Goff, associate professor of speech and drama and director of the University Theatre, defended the use of professionals in University Theatre productions as being of "considerable educational value to the students who work with them."

Guests Star In Coera
Dr. Goff said this in a Daily Kansas interview Monday in answer to student criticism of the use of Jerome Kilty in last week's production of "King Henry IV." part I.
"I would not like to hire professionals to take the students' places, but they are used to fill out the large casts for which there are not enough students anyway." Dr. Goff said. "A student could have played the part last week, but with the shortage of men, it appeared to be a good spot for a guest star."
Another professional guest star, Virginia Copeland, will appear in the March 10-12 production of "The Saint of Bleecker Street." Miss Copeland played the original role when the opera appeared in New York.
In defense of the hiring of Miss Copeland, Dr. Goff said, "A young, inexperienced voice could not sing the difficult part required without being ruined."
Dr. Goff said criticism of the production is expected, but it
Approximately 400 freshmen women, dressed informally in bobby socks, skirts and sweaters, attended parties at 12 sororities during freshman open house Sunday.
12 Sororities Host To 400
Betty Lou Douglas, Kansas City, Kan, senior and president of Women's Panhellenic Council, said the exact number attending is not known but she estimated 600 attended despite the rainy weather.
The women were divided into 12 groups which rotated from house to house spending 25 minutes at each.
Seven groups attended parties in the afternoon from 1 to 5 p.m. and five groups in the evening from 6:30 to 9:15.
Navy Changes Drill Time
The Navy ROTC drill team has changed its practice time from 7:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursdays. Sgt. Thomas Jones, staff adviser to the team, said the change was made to fit better with cadet class and activity schedules.

should be "constructive criticism." He branded the criticism of "Henry IV", part I play, which appeared in a review in the Daily Kansan, as "dishonest," and said criticism should be "sincere and honest, or there should be none."
LEWIN GOFF
Have Used Faculty
He pointed out that in years past student casts have been supplemented with University staff and faculty members, so the use of nonstudents is not unusual.
When asked the cost of bringing in professionals for the parts, Dr. Goff said he didn't know what it cost, that it was haddled by the University administration.

Busy Signals Lead To Fancy Phone Setup
Behind the scenes action involving the local telephone company and the Campus Hideaway has resulted in an amazing system for taking orders. A recent survey by the phone men revealed that 45 prospective customers received busy signals during a one hour period on a Sunday.
In a swift corrective action, a new set of phones has been installed. Lovers of the finest pizza still call the same number—VI 3-9111, but if this phone is busy a second one rings automatically. The result? No busy signals, and faster deliveries.
If you've called the Hideaway on recent Sundays, you may have noticed another innovation in the phone system. Many callers have found themselves talking to two people at once. How? It's all because of the new little Hideaway. A separate operation, the new delivery kitchen has its own set of phones. Calls are answered there, and pickup orders relayed to the original Hideaway.
If you're confused, don't worry, just call VI 3-9111 and they'll do the rest. (paid advertisement)
