THE CRISIS PERFORMERS AND PARTS ANNOUNCED.
Gus Koehler as Stephen Brice and Miss Parkman as Virginia Carvel, Have Principal Parts.
The Masque Club is making remarkable progress in the rehearsals of the "Crisis" which will be put on at the Bowersock Opera House on April 4th and 5th. The members of the cast have been practising nightly for the last month, and under the careful supervision of Miss Georgia Brown, who comes up from Kansas City twice a week, they are now able to go through the entire play without a hitch. The time from now until the night of the appearance will be spent in working out the fine points and minute details. The manager of the play went to Kansas City this week and selected the costumes and special scenery that will be used. Some of the characters make several rapid changes during the course of the performance.
The leading parts in the play will be taken by Gus Koehler as Stephen Brice and by Elizabeth Parkman as Virginia Carvel. The other members of the cast will be as follows: Clarence Colfax, Frank Ellis; Judge Whipple, Solon Smith; Eliphalet Hopper, Arthur Riddle; Colonel Carvel, Charles Kimball; Carl Richter, Willard Holmes; Jack Brinsmade, Clem Parker; Tom Catherwood, Frank Turner; Ephum, Job White; Eugenia Renault, Isabel Barton; Pus Russell, Edna Hopkins; Mrs. Brice, Vinnie Lewis; Ann Brinsmade, Lillian Abrahams.

Senior Party.
K. C. A. C. MEET WAS A TIE.
Revised Score Gives University and K. C. A. C. Each 18 Points.
According to the revised figures which have just been given out by Martin Delaney, of the Kansas City Athletic Club, the University of Kansas and the Athletic Club were tied for first place in the meet held last Friday, each having 18 points to their credit. The mistake in the scoring by which the Blue Diamonds were credited with having won the meet last Friday came in giving them six points which should have been given to unattached entries. This gave Kansas the meet by one point. Later it was found that Childs, who won third in the high jump, was an Athletic Club man instead of Y. M. C. A. entry, which made the score tie again.
The question as to which team shall receive the banner, offered as a prize for the meet, will be decided this week by the Athletic Club.
ITALIAN WRITESC. M. HARGER.
Refers to "The Reflecior" as Most Importana Paper in U. S.
The following letter translated by Professor Bassett was received by C. M. Harger, director of the newspaper course at the University.
Municipality of Isnello, office of the mayor.—My dear professor: I learn with great pleasure from several Italian and foreign papers that you offer a high order of instruction in journalism in a special course at the University of Kansas and at the same time edit with great success "The Reflector" one of the most important papers of the United States.
Dr. Chas. E. Bradt of Chicago, secretary of foreign missions of the Presbyterian church, will speak at the Easter Vesper service Sunday.
"Such being the case, purely in the interests of the various Italian settlements in the state of New York, I take the liberty of offering you, disinterestedly, my little work on the history of the Sicilian communes around Isuello. Should my proposal be accepted, I beg you to send me the necessary authorization to the end that the usual and suitable editorial formalities may be observed. Very sincerely and respectfully yours, C. Verga."
ELECT CAPTAIN
BASKET BALL TEAM CHOOSE GEORGE McCUNE LEADER.
Newly Elected Captain a Leavenworth Boy.—Team Was Banqueted by Manager Lansdon.
At a meeting of the basket ball team at the home of Manager W. C. Lansdon last night George McCune was unanimously elected captain for the year 1907-'08. Those present at the election were M. Miller, W. Miller, Wohler, Hackett, Woodward, McCune and Bergen.
Mr. McCune is a sophomore in the engineering school and comes from the Leavenworth High School. This is "Mac's" first year on the varsity and he has played his position at forward in almost every game this season.
On the recent trip in the games at both Kirksville and the K. C. A.C. the newly elected captain was credited as the "star" player of the Kansas team.
The basket ball boys were treated to a delightful dinner at the home of Manager Lansdon just before the election was held.

The varsity will play a practice game Saturday afternoon on McCook field with either the Detroit team of the American Association which is practising at Leavenworth or with the Hutchinson league of the Western Association.

THE CRISIS A*L*L *S*T*A*R *C*A*S*T April 4 and 5
AT CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO.
Professors Johnson and Walker Representing Kansas.
Professor Johnson and Walker left Tuesday night for Chicago to attend the meeting of the north central association of secondary schools and colleges, which will be held there from Wednesday till Saturday of this week.
The object of this meeting is to bring about a closer relationship between the schools belonging to the association. There are in all about 150schools represented, covering practically all of the Mississippi valley. One of the most interesting things about the association is the fact that graduates of high schools which are placed upon its accredited list, may enter by certificate any of the state universities or colleges belonging to the association. Professor Johnson is to lay before the meeting applications for a place on the accredited list from about fifteen Kansas high schools.
TO HOLD OPEN MEETING.
Ira Hedrick to Address Civil Engineers Tomorrow Evening.
Mr. Ira G. Hedrick, consulting engineer of Kansas City Missouri, will address the C. E. Society Thursday evening in Snow Hall. Mr. Hedrick is the leading consulting engineer in the West and was a partner with Waddell for a number of years. The Society is very fortunate in securing a man of his ability and every engineer who does not hear him will miss an opportunity of acquiring some valuable information, coming direct from a man who is and has been an employer for a large number of college men.
A Communication.
To The Kansan:
In my communication of the other day, regarding Frank B. Lawrence, it was not my intention to convey the idea that Robinson Hall was named expressly after Mrs. Sarah T. D. Robinson. Some seem to have taken it that way. The Gymnasium is to be called Robinson Hall in honor of the late Governor Charles Robinson and his widow, Mrs. Sara T. D. Robinson. F. W. BLACKMAR.
Phi Psi Delegate to Frisco.
Louis H. Moore left last night on a three weeks' trip to San Francisco to attend a meeting of the Council of the Fifth District of Phi Kappa Psi. He is the delegate of the Kansas Alpha chapter. After visiting at San Francisco, Los Angeles and Grand Canyon he will return to Lawrence.
The Kappas have pledged Anna McCoy of Hiawatha.
