First nighters will witness everything from murderers to
lovers when the curtain rises tonight on the season's first play,
."Out of the Frying Fan." This riotous comedy takes place in
an apartment in New York where three young men and three
young women are living together, due to financial difficulties.
The six young people are ambitious young actors and ac
tresses trying to get in a broadway play. The producer of the
play, living in the apartment directly below, is the center of all
their hopes and eventually becomes the victim of their ambi
tions, as he is hired into the upstairs apartment and held rather
forcibly until he agrees to witness their play.
Matters are not helped any when a number of misnnder-Klandii;,-s
arise concerning the living conditions of the six act
ors and actresses. It doesn't take them long to realize tliat
three young men and three young women cannot live together
in one apartment without inviting trouble. This trouble comes
in the form of a shocked guest and an unexpectedly arrived
father who is soon tactfully driven out of Ihe apartment. The
guest is a little harder to get rid of so the six actors and
actresses soon find a part for her in Ihoir play, stopping at
nothing in making her up to fit the role that of a corpse.

To clarify the situation, T. J. Thompson, dean of student
affairs, has issued the declaration that "enlistments for stu
dents now enrolled in the university will close on Dec. 21." This
deadline leaves nliout six weeks available for enlistments to be
made.
Because of rumors influencing students to forget 1he En
listed Keserve there lias been a lapse in the number of enlist
ments. . Some of these reports have been to the effect that all
quotas are filled and that anyone who would happen to get
into a reserve would be called immediately.
The dean in his statement poinls out lhat "such enlistment
imposes no military service responsibilities other than that which
will be the lot of every able-bodied young man of 18 and more
