Form Aero Science Club Here
To keep pace with increased interest in aeronautical engineering, the University is establishing a student branch of the Institute of Aeronautical Science, it was learned today from E. E. Brush, professor of aeronautical engineering.
The LAeS. is the only purely aeronautical technical society in this country, and the local branch will be the first of its kind established in Kansas.
Professor Brush, already a member of the society, will sponsor the local unit. Membership is limited to juniors and seniors in the School of Aeronautical Engineering and aeronautical options in the School of Mechanical Engineering.
Special feature of the organization is that there are no national
dues. Financial support is given by leading airlines and airplane manufacturers throughout the country.
A meeting for all persons interested will be held next Tuesday evening. About 15 seniors have already signed for membership. Juniors have not yet been contacted.

branch for students with the highest scholarship and best program lecture.

"Marv of Scotland" Scores Smashing Success
By Paul Downey
Four weeks of hard work were rewarded by repeated curtain calls and the enthusiastic plaudits and aftercomments of a first night audience in Fraser theater last night.
With nothing to mar their performance, students of the department of speech and dramatic art, presented a polished, smooth play.
The cast and director of "Mary of Scotland" presented to a capacity house one of the outstanding plays of the past several years.
"Mary of Scotland," played by Emily Jean Milam, was the unhappy young queen whose misguided reign blighted her life with tragedy, cost her a throne, and finally her life. Surrounded by corrupt officials and hated by her sister Elizabeth, she tried to rule by idealistic kindness, but discovered too late that a scepter must stand in blood. To one man could she turn, the Earl of Bothwell, the dashing, loyal cavalier, played by Daniel Bachmann, whose suit she reluctantly spurned. Then, against

Tryouts for the next University play will be held Thursday and Friday of this week at 4 p.m. in the Little Theatre of Green hall. A modern play, it will be read to candidates for the acting parts on Wednesday at 4 p.m.
Tryouts are open to all students, undergraduates, and graduate students in the University.

reign as a strong queen, and that

Her marriage is a failure, and the suspicious, depraved Darmly eventually murders Mary's innocent secretary, Rizzio. Darmly is later slain, and Mary and Bothwell unjustly accused. Rebellion follows, Mary flying for safety to England, Bothwell remaining to fight their losing cause. They never meet again.
As the well-meaning Mary Stuart, Emily Jean Milam dominates the play from beginning to end.
Her performance, often passionate, often subdued, was perfect in lines, expression and character. Daniel Bachmann's Bothwell, a rare mixture of swagger and sincerity, was the outstanding male lead. Throughout the play, he is the loyal, ambitious soldier who loved and fought for his queen to the end. Betty Rowton, as lady-in-waiting to Mary, was the leading minor role player.
Through six scenes the play moves from a pier at Lieth on Mary's arrival in Scotland, to Eli-
