In the selection of -Mr. Carpenter as manager, we all feel sure that the c:ub has acted exceedingly wisely, the latter having a thorough knowledge of tti matters pertaining t-> the run 'ng of the club. Mr. Carpener has been a member, and soloist for the club for sev eral years, and was a member of the "Varsity Quartette" which made a most successful tour of North and South Carolina this past summer. From the present outlook the University will put a splendid Glee Club and Orchestra on the road th's y; a-, There is a lar ger number of men trying out for the various positions than is .usually the case. Among the song-birds who are trying out are the following: Wertz, Alt man. Edmunds, Langston, "Cy" Simms, Laner Simms, O'Neal, Dabbs, Drig:;ers, Gullick, Thom son Heyward, (W. S.) Wallace and Hodges. Among the musi cians trying out are: Welch, Jen nings, Foster, Duffie, Harper, Anderson, Dougherty, Seymour, Rich, Simms, Kohn, O'Neal, Wa!?ace. Thompson and Drake ford. With a bunch of men like these to pick from, Manager Carpenter says that he feels con fident that a Glee Club and Or chestra will be put out that wiil equal if not excel those of past years.
