Students Find
CorpusDclecti
In Bessey Hall
Three students had the surprise
of their lives last Saturday after
noon while collecting books for
the victory book campaign in
Bessey hall. They stumbled into
the anatomy laboratory unknow
ingly. There were the bodies, and,
of course, there was the smell.
At first frightened and sur
prised, they raced down stairs ex
claiming. "There are bodies up
there!" After the situation was
explained to tl-em by a pre-med
student, they decided they wanted
a better view of the corpus de
lecti. Consequently. Dr. Otis Wade, in
structor of anatomy, extended a
cordial invitation for them to visit
the lab any Tuesday or Thursday
morning between 9 and 12 a. m.
when classes were engaged in
disection of the bodies.
Issuing a call for all men to re
port, Kosmet Klub will hold try
outs for its spring snow tomorrow
morning at the Temple theater
from 10 a. m. to 12 noon,
A large cast is needed, accord
ing to Walt Rundin, president of
the Klub, who. also announced
that the play calls for a large pony
chorus and many female parts
which will be taken by men.
"Altho singing, dancing or act
ing experience will help, it is not
a prerequisite, for this will be a
fun show like the ones in past
years that were so popular,"
Rundin said.
The Klub will produce Bob
Aldrich's play, "College Crazy"
which affords plenty of oppor
tunity for loonie antics, ac-cordin?
to Prof. L. A. Martin who is di
rector of this year's chow. Song
writers are at work now writing1
music for the show; the winner
will earn a $10 prize.
The play will be given April 15,
16. 17 and 18 at the Temple.
Tickets will go on sale early next
week, according to Bert Smith,
business manager of the Klub.
