Canton workers revolt
HONG KONG—(UPI)—Right-wing press reports today said several hundred persons were clubbed and stoned to death in Canton when Communist Chinese army troops clashed with striking factory. workers brandishing shovels and wooden clubs.
"The New Life Evening Post," quoting persons arriving from the South China river port city of 1.5
million, said the Saturday battle involved tens of thousands of Chinese in Canton's industrial district on the south bank of the Pearl River.
The travelers said the brawling began when striking workers resisted army troops sent to take over the factories. They said the soldiers, wary of future repercussions, did not open fire but used
their rifles as clubs to combat the workers armed with stones, shovels and wooden clubs.
The reports came as the army's own newspaper admitted rifts within the army caused by opponents of Communist Party Chairman Mao Tse-tung.
Theatre shocker 'a fine madness'
By LINDA McCREREY
We want our rights and we don't care how
We want our revolution —
NOW
The pretty blonde in the background tries to sit still, but suddenly her whole body jerks in a violent nervous twitch. A boy, crumpled in a painfully grotesque heap, reaches out with his good arm and grasps at a passing visitor. A man stares blankly into space, oblivious of the globs of spittle which drop from his slack mouth.
Freedom Freedom Freedom
What is this madness? Exactly that—it's Marat/Sade.
"This is a play put on by inmates of an insane asylum," said Kip Niven, Prairie Village senior who plays Dupretrel. "You have to accept that—and it's a tough thing to accept. Then look at the acting!"
IN ONE OF official Peking's most forthright disclosures of army unrest, the "Liberation Army Daily" said troops loyal to Mao were stamping out in the ranks ideas considered crimes against the state.
Man's a mad animal . . .
Marat/Sade is actually a play within a play, performed by KU students and members of the Resident Acting Company who act the parts of inmates of Char-

The army daily listed such "crimes" as "departmentalism, anarchism, factionalism," non-organizational viewpoint, ultra-democracy, individualism, subjectivism and other non-proletarian ideas"—all indicating opposition to Mao.
Support of the 2.5 million man army was considered vital to Mao's campaign to crush his enemies in Communist China's great power struggle. With industrial and farm production apparently badly affected by the purge, the army also appeared to be one of the few stabilizing factors that could get China on the move again.
Last weekend the army was urged to set up "frontline headquarters" to promote farm production and prevent political infighting during the crucial spring planting season.

Easter came early
Mrs. Dorothy White, Phi Gamma Delta, literally wore a lampshade, trimmed with flowers and tied with a long green ribbon borrowed, she whispered after a covert glance around her, from a nightgown.
Easter came early this year for KU housemothers, or so one would guess by observing that most important of all Easter fashions—their hats.
Bonnets of all shapes, sizes and colors were on display yesterday at the Housemothers' Association meeting in the Kansas Union. Some of them would rival hats seen in New York's Easter Parade for ornate festivity, while others demonstrated good ideas for do-it-yourself millinery.
"WE USUALLY have very serious, industrious meetings," said Mrs. Marjorie Nation, president of the Association and housemother for Sigma Chi. "But this time, we just decided to enjoy ourselves with a 'funny hat' fashion show."
Open 6 p.m.
The Easter spirit was in evidence everywhere. Huge, plastic daffodils sprouted from an upturned wicker fruit basket on Mrs. Elizabeth Peek, housemother for Delta Chi. Mrs. M. H. Morsbach, Phi Delta Theta, adorned long plastic ferns with snools, butterflies, a mouse, a squirrel and a bird, and wore it stylishly drained almost to her shoulders.
MRS. NATION SAID the Housemothers' Association used to hold these hat shows annually, but this was the first in about three years.
Mrs. Margaret Reita, Templein, showed a large, pink net chapeau tastefully dotted with Faster chick and eggs. Mrs. Violetta Halwerda, Sigma Nu, and Mrs. Louise Reed, Theta Chi, both created their hats from cheese cartons. Mrs. Halwerda's hat symbolized her post of responsibility, with one large chicken overlooking a group of smaller checks.
True hat-making ingenuity was demonstrated by Mrs. Louise Lane, Alpha Pi Alpha, who showed a reversible "pillowcase" hat about 18 inches long that could be worn in almost any style, from cloche to turban.
MRS. RUSSELL MEYERS, Beta Theta Pi, created her hat from things sent her by her daughter in Africa. An upright, fur-clothed witch doctor surrounded by miniature bows and arrows surmounted her inverted, rectangular wicker breadbasket.
