NUMBER 28
Largest production undertaken by the department of speech and drama since "Cum Laude" in 1938 will be the forthcoming "Mary of Scotland." The play requires a cast of 26 members, 50 costumes, a large stage crew, and five different sets for the six changes of scenes.
Jean Milam Has Lead
The cast, which will open the play in Fraser Monday night, Nov. 3, will be as follows: Guards, Leo Goertz, John Krider, Robert Haywood; John Knox, Glenn St. Aubyn; Bothwell, Danial Bachmann; Mary Stuart, Emily Jean Milam; Mary Beaton, Betty Rowton, Mary Leton, Gloria Coff; Mary Livingstone, Ruth Kelly; Darmley, Jo Payne; Mary Fleming, Lois Blackburn; Elizabeth Tudor, Virginia Davis; Burghley, Bill Kelly; Gordon, Holmes Fowler; David Rizzio, Guy Carlisle; James Stuart, Joe Nelson; Maitland, David Evans; Lord Huntley, Max Webster; Lord Morton, Frank Heck; Lord Throgmorton, Donald Mitchel; Lord Ruthven, Harold Van Slyck; Lord Douglas, Roy Shoaf; Young Ruthven, Arthur Dekker; Porter, Curtis Alloway; and Soldiers, Huston Frith, Phil Jenkins.
Many Scene Changes
The action of the play moves from the pier at Leith in Scotland, to Elizabeth's study at Whitshall, then to Mary's apartment in Holyrood castle, Edinburgh, back to Elizabeth's study, next to a hall in Dunbar Castle and finally to a room in Carlisle castle, England, in which Marv is imprisoned by Elizabeth.
James Barton, instructor in speech, who directed "Cradle Song" last year is the director of the play; Don Dixon is constructing and painting the settings.
Parade to Follow Radio Rally March in Nightshirts
Immediately following the big radio rally to be broadcast over WREN from 6:30 to 7 Friday night from Hoch auditorium, nightshirt-clad freshmen, the band, truckloads of students, and marching cheerers will start their trek downtown for the traditional Night-shirt Parade.
The parade will leave the auditorium at 7:10 p.m. All freshmen are expected to take part.
The paraders will go four abreast down Oread to North College hill, and will then follow Indiana to Sixth street. Moving east on Sixth, the columns of four will break into a single line when they reach Sixth and Massachusetts for the snake dance down that street to South Park.
Tentative plans for the order of the parade call for the University band to be in the lead. Next will come the Jay Janes, followed by the trucks, then the marchers. As in the past years, the Ku Ku's and the K-men will supervise the march. The Lawrence police will cooperate in maintaining order. Under a Men's Student Council ruling, the Ku Ku's and the K-Men are allowed to carry and use paddles to keep freshmen in line.
paraders will be guests of Stan Schwann, manager of the Lawrence theaters, at this special show. Schwann has asked that all those who received tickets form in two lines, one north and the other south, to get into the show. He said that no one without a ticket could be admitted because of the new federal tax laws governing the motion picture gate receipts at all regular shows.
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce will serve refreshments to the students in costume after the rally around the bon-fire in South Park. Yells, songs, and general cheering will be lead by the cheerleading staff. Refreshments will be cider, doughnuts, and apples.
Schwann added that the stage of the Granada theater would be turned over to the students at a special show beginning at 11:15. No tickets will be required at the Granada, and all students are invited to attend. Various acts from the Hill will be presented, and yells and cheers will be given. A special group of eight short subjects will be presented on the screen, two of which will be cartoons.
All freshmen who are in costume for the parade will be issued tickets at the rally for a special 9 o'clock show at the Varsity theater. The
Faculty Will Give To 'Chest'
"Let your conscience and your pocketbook be your guide," commented Forrest C. Allen, professor of physical education and chairman of the Hill Community Chest drive, in speaking of contributions on the part of the University faculty members. "There is no drive on for student contributions," added Dr. Allen.
At noon today there was a total of $439 toward the goal of $1,709.95.
Last year's total was $1,554.50 but this was raised 10 per cent because of an allowance for U.S.O. activities.

Frolic ★★★ Officers Must Buy Tickets
Officers of Women's Self-Governing Association and members of Men's Student Council will be required to pay regular admission to the Freshman Folic, Jim Burdge, dance manager, said today. Both councils have voted to buy tickets to the dance.
When members buy tickets, the purchase will be signed for. If the dance shows a profit, the money will be refunded, Burdge said.
This rule applies only to the Frolic, and will be enforced to help make the freshman dance successful and self-supporting. It may be continued for other class parties.
Women Vote To Adopt New Rules
Women graduate students will be required to keep the same house rules as the regular students since the passing of the revised Woman's Self-Governing Association constitution yesterday. The revised constitution was accepted at a meeting of more than 350 University women in the Ballroom of the Memorial Union building yesterday afternoon.

Henry Allen's Adoptee Drive Gains Support
Henry J. Allen, former governor of Kansas and for years a United States senator, will speak in Kansas City, Mo., tomorrow night under the auspices of the British Child Aid Committee, of which he is president.
Several weeks ago Allen spoke at a University convocation on aid to British children.
Fraternities and sororites on the Hill are taking an interest in the committee's drive. Phi Gamma Delta was the first fraternity to make a substantial contribution to the child aid fund, and it has been followed by Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta.
The British Child Aid committee has been instrumental in securing American "godparents" for thousands of British babies. For $30 a year the American "godparent" provides his adopted child with the added necessities in food and clothing which special requirements of individual situations demand. The child refugee work of the American committee is chiefly confined to the British Isles. The committee actively cooperates with the "International Save the Child Union" of Geneva, Switzerland, of which it is a member.
Particular stress is being laid on the nursery home program in this country as a result of Allen's recent visit to Great Britain.
Every American dollar pledged toward the nursery homes will be matched by a British dollar. The cost of each nursery home is estimated at $8,000, and each home will be prepared to care for from 50 to 75 youngsters.
