LONG PREPARATIONS
FAVORED BY WHEELER
More Time Should Be Taken for
Extravaganza, Says President

BERKELEY, Nov. 15.-In letter to
George Haines, president of the stu
dents of the university, Doctor Wheeler
urged today that the members of the
graduating class begin their prepara-
tions for the big senior extravaganza,
which is a feature of the commence
ment exercises. as early as possible
Doctor Wheeler wrote:
Il was not present at the last ex-
travaganza, but from all that / have
heard concerning IL, it represented just
as the committee sets forth, a very de-
cided Improvement over previous ex-
travaganzas. I would suggest that. as
the play occurs in connection with the
commencement season, It should have
care for the dignity, the good name
and the interests of the university, and
should be carefully prepared during the
preceding year and not left to the
hurry and agitation of the last three
weeks"
The students are very much in favor
of the recommendations of Doctor
Wheeler. which will be observed by
the making of plans at once for the
big play next May

Cecil A. Chapman, one of the
owners of the Chapman-Poak-Steen

ment of a receiver for the property,
as he had failed to receive a proper

against A. ]. Poak and o. B. Steen
The complaint states that about
$4,000 has ben extracted from
the lease during the last three
months and while the defendant
has asked for statement several
times, it has been refused him. A,
j. Poak has the handling of the
funds and further informed the de-
fendant that he would spend the
funds as he saw fit.
Chapman expended about $4,000
out of his private funds in financing
the lease, and has failed to receive
one cent of the profits.
Judge Averill after listening tt
the reading of the complaint ap
pointed l.. l.. Mushett as receiver
and Mr.. Mushett left this morning

erty. Pending further argument il
