The Very Idea! By BURTON E. SHOOK After spending an unusually punk Sunday afternoon and tiring of even bridge, the thought (yes thought) oc curred that if the faculty teas were given on Sunday afternoons instead of Thursday afternoons, two problems would be solved. First, the problem of getting people to attend the teas in large enough numbers to make them effective. The attendance has been disappointing so far. The contacts between students and faculty have not been realized as was expected when the teas were in augurated. Second, the matter of providing some thing to do on Sunday afternoons would be simplified. This is more im portant than merely making teas well attended. Sunday at its best is very boring af ter the rush and bustle of week-a-day life; at its worst it is a nightmare. Or dinary diversions such as shooting pool and movie-going, which are so dear to the hearts of students, must be eschew ed because of legal restrictions. The only things left are the various games which are possible with the aid of the fickle pasteboards, or, sleeping. Of course one can study on Sunday, but--well, you tell one. So the plea of this department is; more, bigger, and better teas-on Sun day afternoons. * * * * * * * * '11he basketbail game last Monday was an illuminating example of what our team can do when it has snapped out of its lethargy. Just why our team plays in a hopeless fog most of the time is a mystery. The members of this year's .(uad are capable of piaying high speed ball as was proved last year and in cer ain games this year. But, with exceptions, this season's play has been very mediocre and cer tainly not of Southern Conference cali bre. Just where the hitch is cannot be even guessed; but uniess is it found, the won and lost column will not be very gratifying at the end of the season. * * * * * * * * * A4propos the current pastime comes the observation that Walter Chandler is playing the most consistent and effect ive game now being exhibited. One wouln't think so fter reading the newspaper accounts of the various games. t Praise directed specifically at Chandler has been few and far between. This is probably bcause lie prefers an effective passing game to long and spec ,acular attempts from the center of the court, which look good when made, but so seidom find the mark. Here's hoping that lie will get the notice that his brand of play deserves. * * * * * * * * * At the first of the year a collection of books, the property of the late Gustave Gergle, were presented to the library, among them being some interesting and unusual volumes. These books are not yet open to the studenits, and accordiing to the latest decision handed (down by the library staff, will not be available until the new wing has been finished and its supply of books installed. 'rhe reason these are not allowed to be taken out is because it will be too much trouble to place them in their proper place as prescribed by the system now being used at the library, wvhen they wvill be moved so soon. Evidently the fact is overlooked that it is a lot of trouble for students to go up to the State Book Store rental Ii brary in order to get initeresting fiction. The latest purchases of the Univer sity library do not help solve the prob lem of lack of fiction. A glance over the newest titles reveals that the Peru vian situation has heen thoroughly coy ered, and that Togoland has returned to normalcy. All of which is no doubt a matter of grave concern to the profes sors iin the history department, but which is all wet when viewved from the stu dent angle., So as plank number two in my plea plat form: Please make the Gergie col lection available to the student body. * * * * * * *: * Just heard of the world's laziest man, he puts pop corn in the flapjacks to make them turn themselves over.

THE "SHOW OFF" IS PRESENTED FOR LAST TIME William Dean's Successful Play Finishes Unusually Long Run GAMECOCKS PLAY Carolina Gamecock Orchestra Renders Several Selections Before Cutrain Falls' Tihe ".Show OtT" which has jdst coi pleted its phenomenal run at the Town :heatre is continuing to attract the theatre going public of the state. After its regular run at the Town theatre, a special repetition was given for the ben efit of University students. The Gane cock orchestra played an overture be fore the play began and rendered several snappy selections between acts. Mr. Dean said that he appreciated their help immensely and added that the students "got more for their money than they have ever gotten before." There was practically a full house to enjoy their performance. The play is one of those delightful cross sections of American middle class life. It is typical in every respect. The play is fuJ of catchy witticisms, not ;n the sense of two "wise-cracks," but more in the nature of character actions. It is light, hilarious and entertaining, according to Dr. Wauchope, who said, "I firmly believe that this play is one of the best if not the best American comedy that the Town theatre has ever presented." Every town has its "Show Off" characters. The play has played ait Caimden and at Hartsvi.le, eliciting enthuiastic audiences at both places. The head of the department of Eng lish at Coker, Professor Dab!s, praised the "Show Off" highly. At Camden the pay was enjoyed by a number of its winter visitors.. Aiken and Orasgeburg have made arrangements with the man agement to have the play presented in those towns in the near future, Florence, Cheraw and Bennettsville have been in terested in the play and it is likely that the p;ay will be presented in those places SOn1. Florence has an excellent Dramatic club and a gold active amateur group, which puts on plays and is interested in the University offering for this reason. ft will be remembered that the Florence group won the State One Act production contest held here last spring. The wide spread interest and fav orable comment on the plays presented by the 'ITown theater, show it to be a live and an influential organization to which the University, as well as the city of Coiumbia. should be proud. -Usc DEBA TERS FOR TRIANGLE TILT ARE SELECTEJ Wood, Karesh, Russell, and Wo' ford Oppose Florida and Tennessee JATIN AMERICAN GUER' )ebates Will be Held Februar 27th in Knoxville, Gaines ville and Columbia Francis Wood of Anderson, Jose Caresh of Columbia, Donald Russell Union, and TIhomas Wofford of L4aurt were iast Friday night in p)reliminar! -hosen to represent the University in Big Triangle debate with the Univ< ~ties of Florida and Tennessee.
