All stories, which may be of any length, must be submitted to one of the members of the central committee, which is composed of the above named representatives of the several literary societies. The writer's names will not appear on the story, but will be written on a card inserted together with the story in a sealed envelope. The stories and name cards will then be numbered before they are submitted to the judges. In this way, the competitors' names will not be made public. Prof. Percival Hunt is chairman of the judges and the other will be announced later. Decisions of the winners will be announced at the first program of the forensic council after May 1. "This is an opportunity for all undergraduate women who are interested in literary pursuits but who do not like to express themselves publicly in debate or in declamatory contests," according to Ruth Rogers, chairman of the central committee. As this is the first competitive short story contest in the history of the forensic council, it is expected that a large number of women will compete. MILITARY NOTICES An important meeting of all officers of the cadet regiment is called for Monday ar 4:10 at the armory. Many matters of importance are to be taken up at this meeting, and it is requested that each officer be present. The first sergeant of each company will call at the office of the military department of a new roster of his respective company and will leave the old roster in his respective file. The new rosters are now ready for distribution. All men who wish to enter or anticipate entering the senior division of the R. O. T. C. should make known their intention by calling in person at the office of the military department as soon as possible. Gail Lewis spent Thursday afternoon shopping in Cedar Rapids. HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS OUTNUMBER THE BOYS Senior classes in Iowa high schools are made up of twice as many girls as boys, judging from figures compiled in the office of the University editor. These data were gathered from the list of seniors in all the accredited high schools of the state. The figures are more outstanding when compared with similar statistics in the University. The proportions there are approximately reversed. UNIVERSITY PLAYERS TO PRESENT COMEDY Cast Is Already Rehearsing for English Playet - Nine Have Roles "Dolly Reforming Herself" is the name of the first play of the season to be presented by Iowa's only dramatic organization, the University Players. Practices have already been started on the presentation, which promises to be one of the most successful offerings ever given by amateurs. The following cast bas been chosen for the initial production, which will probably be staged at the Englert theatre sometime in the first week of March: Harry Telfer, Marcus Mullaney; Matthew, Leon Brigham; Lucas, Harold Harney; Pilcher, Charles V. Brown; Criddle, Harold Stoner; Dolly, Margery Heberling; Renie, Jean Birdsall; Peters, Sophia Kleaveland; Sturgess, Albert Wilcox. "Dolly Reforming Herself" is a ludicrous English comedy in four acts, written by the noted playwright, Henry Arthur Jones. Miss Charlotte Dumke of the public speaking department is coaching the players. SALVI PLEASES AUDIENCE Italian Harpist Demonstrates Splendid Tone Ability Signor Alberto Salvi demonstrated his unusual ability as a harpist to University music lovers at the natural science auditorium Thursday evening. Opening the program with "The Star Spangled Banner," he continued through the first half but with a light pause between each number. He played in every way possible upon a harp, his grading of tones being especially noticeable. His ability to change from the most brilliant part of a piece with all volume and force to soft, slow movements brought forth favorable comment from his hearers. Of his own composition he played "Melody in G flat Major" and "Serenade." Signor Salvi played Carrie Jacobs-Bonds' "Mighty Lak a Rose" for an encore at the close of the first half of the program. Signor Salvi, who is called the wizard of the harp, ha appeared before the Italian royal court and in the leading musical centers of Europe and America. Margaret Clark of Currier hall is entertaining her brother, William, of Estherville this week end. Florence Adams of Solon, a student last year, is visiting her sister, Dorothy at the Achoth house. Esther Shaw, sophomore liberal arts, has gone to her home in Wellman because of the illness of her mother. HAWKEYE QUINTET HAVE TWO GAMES ON NORTHERN TRIP Past Week's Scrimmages Not Hopeful - Freshman Team Forces Changed Lineup TO MEET BADGERS MONDAY Bannick Not Definite As To Lineup When They Left - Eight Men On Trip As the Iowan goes to press, no results have been received from the Iowa-Minnesota basketball game at Minneapolis. Coach Bannick and Trainer Jack Watson left Iowa City Friday night for the Gopher camp with a squad of eight men. Although the odds were heavily against the Hawkeyes, they were determined to give the northmen a desperate fight. The following men were taken on the trip: Captain Berrien, Olson, Finlayson, Cotton, Brown, Nicholaus, Kaufman, and Worth. Bannick had not definitely decided upon his lineup when the squad left Iowa City but from the results of the week's scrimmages it is likely that the following tossers started the Minnesota game: Berrien and Finlayson, forwards, Olson, center, and Brown and Kaufman or Nicholaus, guards. Kaufman was slightly favored over Nicholaus to guard the speedy Oss of the Gopher team while either Finlayson or Cotton was scheduled to play opposite Berrien. Scrimmages during the past week were highly discouraging to say the least. The freshman team composed of Lohman and McConnell, forwards, Frohwein, center and G. Devine Shimek, guards, gave the varsity a severe drubbing in the first few minutes of play and Coach Bannick was forced to change his lineup repeatedly. In the latter part of the workout, after Jones substituted new timber for his freshman team, the regulars were able to even matters up a little when Brown and Olson wiggled the net for a series of counters. Iowa will leave for Madison, Wisconsin, after the game in Minneapolis and will rest over Sunday at the Badger camp. Monday night Bannick will send his tossers against Wisconsin. The Badgers have a very poor record this year in the conference and are evidently not very strong. So far they have lost four straight Big Ten games and are gracing the lowest place in the percentage column. Unless the Gopher contest should put some of the Hawkeyes on the hospital list, the Old Gold crew should be able to hand the Madison team another defeat. MAKE APPOINTMENTS The committee of recommendations have appointed the following people: Superintendents, Clinton Dawdell, Marne, Iowa; Don Rogers, Osborne, Mo.; and Professors Max Houghton, Missouri Valley; R. E. Stoltenberg, Sheffield High; Charles E. Clarke, William and Vashti college, Aledo Ill.; J. M. Hickerson, Valley Junction High; and Wilma Becker, Harvey, N. D. Dr. Johnson Allen Nye 17, and Marjorie Hurless were married at Houston, Tex., recently Mr. Nye had been practicing in Salem, N. D. before he entered the service. Ruth Fleming, a former graduate is now located at Salem, Oregon.
