comedy production of the University K

The play, a mystery co-authored by ty
Florence Ryerson 'and Colin Clem- y
ents, was tested in the 1llollywood
Community Theatre before it was
taken to London in 1940.
The plot is rich in paradoxes. A I
research scientist becomes a house
servant, a memory expert forgets, a
rich girl falls in love with a crook, a
thief is accused of murder-a real
insult in the world of cripne, and a G
friend becomes the most dangerous G
of enemies.

Force Enlisted Reserve. The pro
gram will provide opportunities for

forces, requesting that a faculty mem
ber be appointed to act as consultant
between student and the air corps.
Students in the enlisted reserve, of
course, are subject to call to active
duty at any time. The plan, however,
is to defer them, permitting further
scholastic training provided they
maintain a satisfactory scholastic
standard.
Professor Mercer has requested all
students who are at all interested to
attend the meeting Tuesday night. At
tendance involves no obligation, he
said.
