Will Explain Air Corps Reserve Plan to K.U. Men
A meeting of all University men interested in the new Army Air Corps deferment plan and the Air Force Enlisted Reserve will be held Friday evening at 7 o'clock in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall. Major Malcolm Green, Jr., of Will Rogers airport, Oklahoma City, Okla., will speak, and movies of a late March of Time on army developments in aviation will be shown.
This new deferment plan, the first offered by the Army, is mainly for the purpose of obtaining better educated men for the service, as well as enabling college students to finish school if they wish to do so. Students enlisting in this Air Corps Reserve will be allowed to complete their education, and upon leaving school will be sent to regular U. S. air force bases as cadets. They will then go into air force training and will have an opportunity to compete for commissions in the same manner as other aviation cadets.
Major Green will be at the University again on May 16th when all those interested in enlisting will be interviewed and passed by the University board, headed by Colonel James S. Dusenbury of the department of military science.
While the newspapers announce the facts of the crime, the murderer goes casually singing. "I'm a pretty little feller—mighty lak" a rose. Suspicious mounts during the play until nearly all the characters know the guilty party when the murder is committed. Even Scotland Yard becomes interested in the happenings around Forrest Corners before the play ends. Not Sherlock Holmes, but an Inspector Belsize tries to solve the mystery. Dora, Mrs.

"Night Must Fall"Monday Murder in Fraser
Murder will take the spotlight in Fraser theater Monday night when the curtain rises on the Dramatic Workshop's one night presentation, "Night Must Fall." The play will start at 8:15 p.m., and admission will be 25 cents plus tax.
"Wealthy Widow Found Murdered" or "Body Found Buried in Rubbish Pit" are the headlines of the papers in Forrest Corners, England, where the play takes place. Among the eight players taking part in the play is the murderer of a wealthy widow. A second murder follows in which the audience actually watches the criminal at work.
Bramson's Cockney maid, really causes all the trouble by bringing her boy friend to see Mrs. Bramson. Mrs. Bramson intends to make Dan, the boy friend, marry her maid, as she (the maid) is going to have an illegitimate child. Dan has other ideas, however, and before the hardboiled Mrs. Bramson can tell him anything, Dan has completely won her by his charming and fascinating manner.
The play is spiced with humor by Hubert Laurie, a friend of Mrs. Bramson's niece, Olivia, who is an unmitigated bore and admits it. The play is neatly balanced between humor and tragedy as the story reaches a climax in the last scene. The action of the play takes place in the household of Mrs. Bramson, a wealthy widow. The setting is in old English furniture and background. All furniture and settings will be constructed by students.
Harlan Cope, college sophomore director of the play, said, "It's a fine play and a good cast. There's no reason why it shouldn't be a success. At least we'll try."

The law requiring registration states any person, 18 years of age or over, who has left home to attend college, should apply for and get his own rationing book in the town in which he is residing during the school year. The student's father or mother cannot apply for him as a member of the family unit.
The student attending college, who has not yet reached the age of 18, and who is not a member of a family unit, must have his father, mother, or legal guardian file the application for him.
If the student is residing and taking his meals in an organized house, he will receive war ration sugar stamps at the same time he receives his war ration coupon book. In this way the house manager will then be able to purchase the amount of sugar needed for the entire group.
