Classes as Usual . . .
Rumor has it that classes will be dismissed Saturday
hpranse of the student migration to the KU game, and
this is to inform the general public that classes will be held
as scheduled.
In a statement from Dr. George W. Rosenlof, Director
of Admissions, he said that "no provision has been made
by the faculty for dismissing classes, and consequently,
classes would be conducted as scheduled." Explaining his
statement, Rosenlof added that if classes were dismissed
for the migration, other similar affairs would be planned
in the future, expecting the same policy of temporarily
suspending class sessions.
According to university police, a student is entitled to
three unexcu id absences during a semester, and Rosenlof
hinted that this was a fine opportunity for one of them.
"It is not that the administration does not sanction athletic
activities. To the contrary, they support them, but it is
well to keep in mind that the student's primary purpose
here is to study," he concluded.
The KU migration is one of the big events of the foot
ball season, and should be well supported on behalf of the
university itself and the student spirit that goes to make
that university a fine one one that is alive and construc
tive. While Dr. Rosenlof agreed that the migration was a
fine show of spirit, he did not feel that it was fair to dis
miss classes this time in light of future occasions that
would merit the same attention.

Winter Season
With "Laura
By Eddie McCullough.
Dean Graunke gave a flawless
performance last night in the Ex
perimental Theater's presentation
of "Laura," the murder mystery
which Hollywood recently filmed,
starring Gene Tierney, Dana An
drews, and Clifton Webb.
As the manic-depressive Waldo
Lydecker, lover-murderer, Mr.
Graunke gave a superb interpre
tation of Clifton Webb's role, cap
turing the audience with his fine
character portrayal. His speech,
mannerisms, and actions were
performed with the skill of an
artist devoted to tiring rehearsals.
He stole scenes with all the grace
of a seasoned veteran.
Upon transferring the story
from the cinema to the theater,
the flash-back technique was
necessarily lost, and it was not
possible to build up the impres
sion of mystery and charm which
instilled a love in the audience
for the dead Laura. Connie Cath
cnrt. however, greatly replaced
the loss with her own natural
charm. Connie and her leading
man. Harold Anderson, are both
newcomers to the Experimental
Theater. Anderson portrayed the
role of Detective McPherson with
conviction.
Newcomer.
Jay Holmes, another newcomer,
is greatly reminiscent of Vincent
Price, who portrayed the same
role on the -screen, and has the
fcamc low, soft voice which also
helped Price portray the dissi
pated Southerner.
Rarbara Berggrcn, a veteran of
the Experiment?! Theater, did a
convincing job as Laura's Irish
maid, which would seem difficult
for a Swede, but not for Barbara.
Good supporting performances
were also given by Herbert
Spence, the bobby-soxer who
shared the multitude's unrequited
love for Laura, Blanche Duck
worth as his worried mother, and
Bill Lucas, who said two words
nd go laughs on both of them.
Missing notably was the accom
panying music, "Laura," which
was played only twice on a phonograph.
SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCE
There has been some mis
understanding: as to how much
subsistence allowance will be
paid to veterans under the G.I
Bill who are also earning'
money by reason of employ
ment. Public Law 679 amends
the G. I. Bill so that no vet
eran "on-the-job" training or
training can receive more than
$110 per month from outside
employment without experi
encing a proportional cut in
subsistence allowance. This
means that a student at the
university who receives .$111
per month from outside em
ployment will have one dollar
deducted from his subsistence
allowance; a student receiving
$112 per month would have
two dollars deducted from his
subsistence allowance, and so
on.
When a student without de
pendencies receives $175 or
more per month from outside
employment he will then re
reive no subsistence allowance
from the Veterans Administra
tion. In like manner a student
who has dependents and who
receives $200 or more per
month from outside employ
ment will receive no subsist
ence allowance from the -Vet-e
r a n s Administration. Of
course,, any student who re
ceives $110 or less per month
will receive his full subsist
ence. If at any time during the
semester a veteran's renumer
ation from employment
changes so that he receives
more than $110 per month
where he was not receiving
that much previously, he. is
required to report this change
to the Veterans Administration.
Conversely, if his renumeralion
from employment drops below
$110 per month, he should like
wise report to the Vetreans
Administration.

Board.
