THE UNIVERSITY KANSAN.
VOLUME VII.
NUMBER
RED DOMINO
OPERA COMPLETED
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1910
SONGS AND LINES WRITTEN FOR THE PLAY.
Friedman, Bowles, and Graham the writers—McKay, Manager and Miss Mossier Director.
The three writers of the play are Moe Friedman, George Bowles and Matthew Graham. The lineer and plot of the opera have been written by Friedman and the songs and music were written by Bowles and Graham. All three of the men have been connected with college dramatics in the past and every one at the University will remember that Friedman wrote the lines for last year's Junior Prom. Bowles and Graham both written a number of college songs. The former also composed the songs for last year's Sophomore Prom, while the latter wrote the music for the junior farce.
The members of the Red Domino club have just completed a comic opera which will be given probably on December 1 and 2. The play will deal with college life and will be replete with catchy college songs.
There will be sixteen songs in the opera and one of the most catechy has been named "A Little Down on a Big Hill." It explains how K. U. students meet such obligations as cab and board bills on the installment plan. The overture of the opera will require five minutes.
In the east of the play are fifteen principals and a mixed chorus of thirty-five members. These will be chosen from students of the University who have dramatic ability. The characters have been drawn from local figures, which will be easily distinguished and the plot deals with past events of K.U.
The play which has not yet been manned will be produced under the direction of Miss Gertrude Mossler, head of the department of dramatics at the University. The cast will be selected from students who are successful in the tryouts which will be held in the near future, Donald McKay of Pittsburg will be manager of the production and under his direction the opera will be staged and costumed.
This will be the first attempt of the Red Domino society which was organized last spring by students of the University for the purpose of promoting amateur dramatics and the writers are preparing to make the opera one of the biggest and best ever staged by K. U. students. Special sceen, music and costumes will be used for the production.
In the future students of the students of the University may have to go to church on Sunday or at least go out driving, on account of the present plan of allowing, or rather not allowing, books to be taken from the library. When the library took off the lid on Saturday afternoon and night, it was at once announced that the old scheme of allowing books to be taken out over Sunday could not be retained. If the books were checked out over Sunday, students desiring to study at night could not find the books, and besides the librarian wishes to avoid as much as possible the problem of books being brought back late Monday morning.
The members of the Red Domino club, including those mentioned above are: Bobbie Roberts, Nina Pilkenton, Margarete Stone, Ruth Van Doren, Cornelia Hardcastle and Tess Critchfield.
No Studying in Library Books or the Sabbath.
GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY.
The rule does not apply to books in the stack, which may be taken out at any time, as before.

OTTAWA DEFEATED BY A

JAYHAWKERS OPEN FOOTBALL SEASON
The Game Was Slow and Uninteresting on Account of the Oppressive Heat.

STUDENTS GATHER TO CHEER AND SING
CROWD FILLED EVERY SEAT IN CHAPEL.
Listened to Football Talks and Outline of Plans for New Student Union.
The first "sing" meeting held in the chapel last night was the most successful student assembly that has been held in years, both in spirit and in attendance. The crowd filled every available seat and many were forced to stand. Chancellor Strong gave a short talk complimenting the enthusiasm displayed by the meeting, and assuring them that if the crowd was as enthusiastic during the games we certainly would have an ever victorious team.
Coach Mosse gave a short talk in his usual witty style, saying that he would not promise anything but or the students not to worry, as by Thanksgiving he thought the University would have a team.
Coach Kennedy also assured the crowd that if they got behind the team and gave it their support we would have a team fully as good as that of last year, but in order to have such a team the students must give it their most loyal support.
Ralph Spotts led the cheering and explained to the meeting the plan of building the new Student Union building. He told how the student body at the Ohio State university paid for such a building. He also urged all the students to take pennants, ribbons, and megaphones to the game.
The University band was heard for the first time this year and it surprised the crowd very pleasanty, for it gives promise to be the best in the history of the University.
NIGHT SHIRTS TONIGHT.
Annual Undress Parade to Celebrate First Game.
The first night-shirt parade will be held this evening. The men will collect in South park in the proper attire for such an occasion. The parade will start at 8 o'clock. It will first pass through the student district, gathering recruits as it goes.
The Chancellor's residence will be the first stopping point. From there the men will march back through the rooming district to Massachusetts street.
