Initial Rehearsal Of Dramatic Club Cast Shows Much Enthusian
Competition for Parts Makes Opening Practice Unusually Lively
Proceeds To a War Benefit
Work Has Already Started On Stage Properties—To Paint Special Scenes
The first rehearsal for the Dramatic Club play last night turned out to be a surprise for those in charge of the production. So close has been the competition for the various parts in the cast that the entire list of successful candidates came to the rehearsal with their part. They gave new record for the interest taken in an initial practice for a big production.
The first act has been whipped into shape and Prof. Arthur MacMurray, director of the play, said this morning there would be no doubt but what the play would be in excellent shape by 13, the date set for its appearance.
The management of the play has announced that the proceeds of the big war drama will go to the benefit of some worthy war cause.
"In making this announcement it must be understood that we are making no appeal in the nature of a benefit," said Lewis Hull, manager of label to label almost any piece of work a benefit and the results will be gratifying. This play is being given on its merit as a play and we are merely giving the proceeds to some charitable inspection to further the ends of the war."
Work has already been started on the making of the stage properties which are complicated. Bids for the painting of the scenery are being considered. The management of the play is working in conjunction with the Registrar in the handling of all financial matters.
The next rehearsal of the cast is scheduled for Saturday morning and Wednesday to have the play well mapped out by the beginning of Christmas vacation.

Medies Have No Definite Orders At Kansas City
Enlistments In Medical Reserve Corps Have Not Been Completed
Practically the entire sophomore medic class went to Kansas City yesterday to enlist in the Medical Reserve Corp after the receipt of the telegram from W. C. Gorgas, surgeon-general of the army. This telegram, sent to Dr. John Sundwall, head of the School of Medicine, will be awarded a fourth year students not yet enlisted, ro to the nearest recruiting station immediately to enlist in the Medical Reserve Corps.
At the recruiting station in Kansas City no definite information regarding the matter had been received, and a staff member informed them to see if further information would come to the office. There are about thirty-five men in the sophomore medic class and all but five are of the junior class, and senior classes are at Rosedale.
Each man enlisting must sign an affidavit to the effect that he will promptly respond for service, either by writing a letter or by order from the Surgeon-General, Dr. John Sundwalt says only men who are doing required work and making passing grades are given the affidavit to the effect that they collist in the Medical Reserve Corps.

No Substitutes For Hikes;
Change Hard to Handle
Women Walkers Can Not Take Ice Skating In Place Of Walking
I ice skating can not be substituted for cross country hiking by those wish to do so is the statement of Miss Hazel Pratt, conductor of women in skiing. For her reason, the fact that any such change is too enormous to handle.
"It would simply be impossible to have all the women to come to the Gymnasium, get permits, go to Potter Lake and skate for an hour and report on it. I would report the second time," says Mrs. Borchley Cole, assistant instructor.
In a few special cases such arrangements are being made. Reasons which make such a charge out of the question are: Potter Lake is entirely flat and not covered by skaters, other places for skating are too far away from the University, and the plan would mean an entirely new arrangement if it were adopted. Skating instead of regular classes would give more detrimental than advantageous.
