theatergoers of buffalo will on mon day and tuesday april 30th and may ist at the allendale theater have the opportunity of viewing the pres entation of he who gets slapped which the dramatic society hns been working on for some time past this play is spoken of as a symbolic ro mance and is from the russian of leonid andreyev it is being direct ed by mrs daniel b leary and is well presented by a caixible cast in he w'hot gets slapped we see a man of high education of great itel lectual achievement who leaves life willingly in appearance but forcibly in fact the relations of man to man of group to group according to an dreyev are such that the man is for ced to efface himself even thought or the book could not help the man to become a god he becomes a clown he performs stunts he get slapped the public laughs being unaware that this laughter is a mockery at itself at its culture at its thought at its achievement the characters of the play are depicted with a bitter sar casm unfriendliness for andreyev seems to have lost his last faith in the mun the good the innocent and clean-hearted are bound to suffer and die his consuelo zinlda bezano are only stray rays of light out of place in the world and even in the woiid circus which is full of spiders cham pagne and human outcasts andre yec does not blame these outcasts on the contrary he feels sympathy if for anybody for just clowns jug glers and bareflmek-riders but life this strange combination of fate ac cident and cowardly slander is stronger and tiny collapse under the burden of this combination science club mr c m olmstead presented a pa per o nthe subject of globular clusters at a meeting of the physical science club held last thursday eve ning at foster hall the discussion which followed was concerned with the methods of estimating the dis tance from the solar system more ads needed the bee is in dire financial straits more subscriptions and ads must be secured with in the next week if any more issues of this paper are to appear in particular more ads will have to be procured for it is by its advertising that a newspaper exists at the present there are any number of vacancies on the business staff of the bee this is a handicap which has to be overcome if the bee is to be placed on anything resembling a lirm financial basis more students must interest them selves in their university weekly or else watcli it per ish it will perish to any student who pro cures advertising the bee of fers 10 per cent if vach stu dent will but bring in one ad the present precarious po sition of the paper will be re moved students are offered an opportunity to render a real service to their alma ma ter and incidentally benefit in a rather material way formal opening of girls room at the card party glv«n last fall at the alumni club by the buffalo branch of the american association of university women the sum of 000 was raised for the purpose of furnishing a social room for girls in foster hall the interest and gen erosity shown at that time toward the growth of the university by the members of the association has serv ed as an incentive for various alum nae groups the u b girla are great ly indebted to the graduates of el miia wellesicy cornell and mt holyoke for the gifts which they have bestowed a long cherished desire of the girls has been realized in the presentation of a cheval glass by mrs ausburn d develle the mirror is framed in walnut to match the furniture an other well chosen gift is that of a handsome reading lamp preisented by mrs george h camehl president of the

accepted whose hair is not naturally red existence of the bee at stake there was no issue of the bee last week because the bee is at the end of its financial re sources this may be the last issue of your university weekly unless student sup port is forthcoming the situation is simply this it is impossible as someone has aptly remarked to run a paper on hot air and cold potatoes there are but four hundred paid up student sub scriptions in the entire univer sity whereas twelve hundred copies are circulated every week obviously this means that the students of the uni versity of buffalo do not want a weekly newspaper if they do they will pay their sub scriptions within the next few days otherwise the bee which has buzzed about for two years gathering pollen will do a rather peculiar thing for a bee it will have to sing its swan song vocational conference for university women may 2 and 3 are important dates for the women of the university to bear in mind mi.ss kmnia kirth director of
