Page Four The Daily Iowan State University of Iowa Sunday, February 9, 1919 PERFORMANCE TO BE PRESENTED IN MARCH Professional Coach Will Commence Rehearsals Last Week in February. All the leading roles for Katcha Koo, the musical hit of the season, have been filled and the rehearsal with a cast of nearly 300 people will commence the last week in February. It will be presented at the Englert theatre, March 13 and 14. The leaders of the cast are enthusiastic and anxious to make Katcha Koo the biggest home talent performance ever presented in Iowa City. Characters for the play have been drawn from among the inhabitants of this city and University students. Men and women of all ages will be in the cast, as well as 150 children of six to eight, who will feature in the choruses. There will be three leads, singing, dancing and dramatic. Miss Anna Wolf, director of the women's gymnasium will carry the primary dancing role, and will entertain with several solo dances. The two leading female characters in the fascinating pageant, that has its setting on an island in the oriental seas, will be presented my Mrs. Dorothy Yetter Swisher, and Margery Heberling. Arthur Kroppach and Harold Rigler will carry the principal male roles. Numerous dancing and singing choruses will feature throughout the performance. The presentation of Katcha Koo will be under the direction of a professional coach, probably a woman, sent out by the John B. Roger Co. of Fostoria, Ohio, which company holds the copyright on the piece. Under the auspices of the Y.W.C.A., Katcha Koo will be given as a means of raising money for united war work or reconstruction work. REGISTRATION FOR SENIOR R.O.T.C. OPEN Requirement of Two Years Training----Encampment Probably at Camp Dodge Capt. A. L. Lane announced yesterday that he had received an important message from Washington, giving him in detail the plans for the establishment of the senior R.O.T.C. unit. Only men who have completed their drill requirements are allowed to enroll in this division. Advanced instruction in the military work will be a feature of the work of the corps. This instruction will be taken up at school during the remainder of this year and in a government encampment which will be held for one month next summer, probably at Camp Dodge. The commandant states further that registration in the senior unit positively closes February 12, and that he has no authority to accept candidates later. The senior unit offers to those completing the course prescribed for it by the government, a commission in the reserve officers' corps of the United States army. It is expected that a large number of men from here will take advantage of the government's offer. Ample sustenance and compensation will be given the candidates while they are in training. The only qualification necessary for enrollment into the division is the requirement that the candidate have at least two years' military experience. Selina M. Terry, assistant chaperone at Currier hall, and a graduate student in the department of English, has returned from the hospital where she underwent an operation for the removal of tonsils. PATRICK FINDS NEW WORK FOR SCIENCE University Professor Believes Citizens Rather Than Laws Need Remodelling "Applied science distinguishes itself most greatly in the art of war. Would it not therefore be well in the years to come for science to apply itself direct to the problem of preventing wars?" The above question is put by Dr. G. T. W. Patrick in an article on "The Next Step in Applied Science" in a resent issue of the Scientific Monthly. Dr. Patrick contends that the world is depending largely upon political readjustments to prevent wars. The strong arm of international law may suppress any aspiring belligerents nations, but it will not stop the menace of civil war. He suggests that while we are making over our laws and our international relations to the end of preserving peace, we direct our main endeavors to making over citizens so they will have sense enough to settle their disputes in more rational ways than blowing out each other's brains with high explosives. If social problems, such as those of peace, of controlling disease, of limiting the mad desires of men and nations, were attacked with the same magnificent confidence as that displayed in the giant task of linking two oceans at Panama or of navigating the air, they would yield to the limitless power of the human intellect. The time-saving and labor-saving devices resulting from applied science are not entirely a benefit to humankind, Dr. Patrick asserts. Leisure in itself is not good; it may be dangerous. Science should be applied to human welfare. DR. VOSS IN FRANCE Dr. Voss, a major in the United States army, where he was head of the dental corps in a big French hospital, where he has had numerous interesting adventures, is anticipating an order to return to America before long. He sends his father-in-law, Former Supervisor W. Hahnke, a German helmet, as a curio. It weighs two pounds. Dr. Voss was a former member of the University faculty. Ralph P. Bolton, formerly of the University (Law, 1892) has been re-elected unanimously president of the Hyperion club at Des Moines. This organization entertains numerous Iowa City golf enthusiasts ever and anon, during the flitting seasons, and sends delegates here, to participate in occasional tourneys.
