CAROLINA GIRLS WILL ORGANIZE NEW ORCHESTRA FORTY MUSICMAKERS OUT Reward Offered for Best Name Submitted to Manager Before February 13th If numbers and enthusiasm count any thing, and some sage has . iid that they do, there seems no doubt that the Uni versity of South Carolina can have a Co-Ed orchestra equal to any girl's or chestra in the country. At the call meeting of all the co-eds intersted in an orchestra in the Wo man's Building Wednesday afternoon there were about forty girls present and they have signed up to try out for Jew's Harp, kazoo, banjo, ukelele, banjo-uke, banjo-mandolin, guitar, mandolin, piano, xyiophone, violin, saxophone, drums, steel guitar and cello. A name for this new organization was discussed and a contest is to be held. Any one on the campus is urged to suggest a suitable name and at the end of the con test a reward will be made to the p,erson making the best suggestion. It is desired that all suggestions be handed to the manager before February 13th. A com mittee will be appointed to select the best name and announce it to the waiting world. The plan now is to divide it into sev eral different sections because all the instruments represented do not go to gether. They will probably be divided into a section where only string instru ments can be played and another for wind instruments. A committee capable of judging will be selected to hear all the aspirants for the orchestra play and divide them into three classes, good, fair and poor. The first section will start right into regular practices. The other group will also have regular pra tices and it will be their objective to come up to the standard of the other group and join it as soon as possible. No regular practices or tryouts how ever will be held until after examina tions. Dates for these will be posted im mediately after the beginning of the sec ond semester and those who want to try out are urged to keep up the practice and make an effort to get into the first group. It was mutually decided to meet in Fiinn Hall for practices and take a part in making some of the weird and unearthly noises heard over there and in the chap el so often. The hour for practices has not yet been set as it will have to be' arranged to suit the different groups and the time that the town girls can come will have to be taken into consideration. It was disappointing that Dean Dillard and Miss Smith could not be there to take charge of the meeting Wednesday afternoon and lend dignity to the occa sion but they had a very important fac ulty meeting that they could not cut. They are vitally interested however and arc doing everything they can to make t a successful organization. Several of the faculty wives who heard of the move also sent an exnression of their interest and a willingness to hellp in any wvay they can, evcn to offering a piano and a room to practice. Miss Ora Mae Jackson wvas electedl manager and authorized to see as many of the town girls who play instruments and get them lined up right awvay. Any town girls who wish to sign up and try out will p)lease hand their names to Miss Jackson as soon as possible. A p)ianist was not selected at this meet ing because there will probably be a need for one in each group andl the members will likely pirefer to select their ownt l)ianist. It is the objective of the orchestra to give its first per formance p,robably in the Womarfs Building and take a silver of fering or charge a small admission fee to secure money for the purchase of drums. .At the close of the meetinag several -girls played a few selections they had practicedl only a few times wvhich showed to the girlc che possibilities of an orches tra that can have regular p)ractices wvith more instruments. Miss Knight, a former student of Mid dIlebury College in Conuneticutt, was p)res ent at the meeting and told the girls something of the orchestra of which she was a member at Middlebury and of their activities. She expressed delight at such a large crowd interested in a Co-E~d or ch:estra at the University of South Caro lina and( said she thought they could make SCARABEANS DISCUSS FINANCIAL MATTERS "How can money be raised for a page in the annual", and how often has this question been asked by members of the various campus clubs. The Scarabeans are no exception to the general rule and this was the main topic of discussion at the meeting held last Saturday at the home of Dr. Wauchope on the Universi ty campus. A fter much discussion, it was decided that each member should pledge herself to a certain amount to be used for that purpose. This meeting was primarily for the election of officers for the next term but several of the members were absent, so the election was deferred until the next meeting. At the conclusion of the business part of the program, a salad course was served in the dining room. The table was decorated with red candles and rosesshrd shrd hr hrdl vbgkagkqq q qq roses. - U.s.c. - PRUITT ELECTED HEAD OF LAW ASSOCIATION - U.S.c. - James B.
