By Dick deBrown.
Kosniet Klub has a remarkably
good show in "Hades' Ladies,"
which should turn into a hit by
the middle of the week when first
night improvements and the
smoothness of experience have
been effected. Clever lines, ex
tremely tuneful songs, attractive
costumes and sets all are there.
A word might be said about the
theme of "Hades' Ladies" which
quite specifically adopts a cynical
attitude toward the female of the
species. According to lines in the
show, all women are (1) alike, or
at least (2) of only three types,
the intelligent, beautiful, and the
maioritv Coeds should jump to
the defensive when Satan says,
"The best are no better than the
worst, and the worst are as good
as the best." Maybe it will start
a good old campus controversy
with fun for all!
At any rate John Edwards, au
thor of "Hades' Ladies," has con
cocted a plot that is both differ
ent and amusing. A pair of dole
ful spirits decide to take a Hen
pecked husband down to hades
ner his wire s suggesuon, innm-

"Japan's trouble will begin, not

Rooted in Ambition.
Dr. Luccock stated that while

vertising the war as a revised
version of the Prodigal on par
able with China characterized as
the profligate older brother who
must be punished and brought to
its knees by the righteous younger
brother, Japan, who wants to
"beat some sense" into China's
head and save the Far Eastern
inheritance.
"The desire to bring China to its
knees is much more deeply rooted
than arrogrance and much more
difficult to deal with," said the
sneaker. "It is rooted in a com
bination of ambition and tear, ine
Japanese military are ambitious
and they fear China's reconstru
tion and consequent strength."
China Finds Self.
The war is affecting China in
precisely the opposite way that
Japan intended, according to Dr.
Luccock. China is coming to its
feet instead of falling to its knees,
and as the war proceeds China's
will to resist is becoming more determined.
Government propaganda has
brought about most of the ill will
that the Japanese and Chinese peo
ple harbor for each other, ihe cni
nese have been mis-educated into
distrusting and disliking the Jap

other hand, the Japanese govern
ment has carried on such a propa

Climaxing the Ivy Day festiv
ities, May 5, the A. W. S. Board
will again sponsor an all univer
sity tea dance. The dance will be
the first big party in the newly
opened Student Union building to
be sponsored by a student organ
ization. Music will be furnished by
the Beck-Jungbluth orchestra.
As has been done previously,
each fraternity, sorority, and or
ganized barb group caring to do
so will subscribe $3 for the affair.
This sum will serve as admission
for all of its members. Tags for
each member will be distributed
to each subscribing organization
before the dance, insuring the ad
mission of ea'h member. A door
admission of 10c will be charged
for every student attending who
does not' belong to a subscribing
group.
Dating Optional.
"The dance should prove of spe
cial Interest this year," states Hel
en Pascoe, A. W. S. president, "as
it will be held in the newly opened
Union building and close enough
that every student may attend."
"Dating for the afair will be op
tional, cutting will be permissible.
and in order to make it a fitting
climax to Ivy Day we feel every
university student should plan to
attended," says Janet Lau, chair
man of the committee in charge of
arrangements.
This is the second year the. A.
W. S. board has sponsored the Ivy
Day dance, and if it again proves
to be a success it may become an
