The leading character is "the Mormon," so named because of his great difficulty in deciding upon the right girl. The cast consists of twenty-one characters, who have been selected especially for the various parts by Mr. Wells.
The manuscript is at present in the hands of Prof. W. H. Davis o the department of public speaking, who will have charge of the rehearsals and of the staging o the play.

FOR BETTER FIRE PROTECTION
THE BUILDING OF A LAKE PROJECT
PROPOSED.
By Use of Artificial Reservoir University Would Be in Less Danger From Fire.
The idea suggested by Dr. L. I Blake of the department of Physics many years ago, of having an artificial lake on the campus of the University to be used in case of fire, is about to be realized, according to a statement made by Mr. E. F. Crocker, superintendent of buildings and grounds, this morning.
The original plan suggested by Dr.Blake was to construct a small pool just west of the chemistry buildings. The plan at present however, is to make a lake about two hundred yards wide and three hundred yards long, in front of the new Engineering building, by placing a dam across the mouth of the deep gulch at the southwest corner of the golf links. It is proposed that the dam be about forty feet high and about forty feet thick at the base tapering to sixteen feet at the top.
It is proposed that a pumping station be located on the campground the dam and the lake filled from the city water system. A extra supply of water is urgently needed on Mount Oread, as it is well known that in case of fire the present available supply would be insufficient.
Prof. W.C. Hoad, who has charge of the project, expects to set his engineering classes to work on the preliminary plan within a few days.

WOULD HAVE TENNIS COURTS
OUTDOOR SPORTS FOR WOM. EN AGITATED.
Women Will Petition. Board of Regents to Provide Courts on Campus.
A campaign has been started among the University girls to secure tennis courts on the University campus. Plans for forming a tennis club are well under way and the whole movement is being enthusiastically pushed.
"This world is not merely a world for men and this University is not merely a University for men," said Dean Templin, referring to the efforts of the girls toward obtaining these courts.
Dean Templin is not the only one who realizes that although the girls and boys are taxed an equal amount each fall for athletics, the benefits which they drive are very unequal. Severa members of the faculty, especially Miss Corbin, Dr. Naismith and Miss Fish have long desired some plan whereby the girls might have out-door sports.
Several committee meetings have been held and a systematized campaign is being planned by Bessie Rarig, Rose Abbott Florentine Hackbush and Hazel Hall. A petition for the tennis courts will probably be started next week, and will be submitted to the Board of Regents at their next meeting. Different members of the Girls' Student Government council have signified the willingness of that organization to help along the cause of the girls.
