The Very Idea! By BURToN E. Snoox A page torn from an "Ask Me An other" book: Question: Does Carolina have a band? Answer: Yes. Q: How do you know? A. I know fellows who remember having heard it. Q. Are they seniors? A: They would have to be. Q: Didn't the band play last fall at the football games? A: Oh, yes. Q: Didn't they play at a basketball game? A : Yes, but that was a mistake, purely an oversight. Q: What do bands do at other college3? A: They play for all athletic con tests and most public blow-outs. Q: Why doesn't Carolina's band do that ? A: Ask me another. Q: What does Carolina's band do? A: It practices (?), wears bright uniforms, and gets the choice seats for the Carolina-Clemson football game. Q: Well, well. A: Oh yes. Q: Our band means well, doesn't it? A: Oh yes. Q: Will our band play for baseball games this spring? A: Dunt Esk. * * * * * * * * A professor recently remarked that Carolina needed a pep song, to pre vent dragging our Alma Mater into action every time a snappy mach was needed. That professor expressed an opin ion which has been held by various people for a long time. "We Hail Thee, Carolina" is inspirational and dignified, but is not snappy in the sense of being a pep song, something to be flung out on the field during a pause in the play, or to be pondered and worked-at by the bibulous gentry (luring the wee sma' hours. The Washington and Lee Swing is an example of an ideal pep song. with a catchy tune and easily adapted to various words. Our band makes worthy but unavailing efforts to jazz up our Alma Mater and give a fox trot swing to minuet words and tune As an impressive expression of re spect for Carolina, "We Hail Thee, Carolina" is unbeatable, but as an ad junct of college cheers has certain defi cencies which cannot be overlooked.It is to be hoped that some one of the campus musical-minded will produce a tune, or a set of words to an old tune, which will relieve the burden now imposed on our Alma Mater. * * * * * * * * * Trhe' speed with which an edlitor can be deposed and a successor elected gives evidence that a newv era of skill and efficiency is approaching the camn pus j These "new-fangled" methods are quite b)ewildlering to those of the old guard (including yours truly) who remember a better day and year.

Phon 9711 WILLIAM DEAN'S WORK RECEIVES COMMENDATION Theatre Arts Monthly Carries Artile on "A Doll's House" COSTUMES ARE PICTURED Program of Town Theatre For Season is Given Ap proval It should be gratifying to the people of Columbia and particularly the stu dents of the University of South Caro lina to know that the productions of the Town Theatre, under the director ship of William Dean, are receiving national comment in one of the leading theatre publications of the United States. The March, or as it was called "Ibsen' One Hundred Years After,,' number of The Theatre Arts Monthly carried two photographs of Mrs. John J. Hope, of Columbia, wearing the costume designed by Mrs. William Dean, which she used in playing the part in Ibsen's play "A Doll's House," presented at the Town Theatre dur ing the first semester. The two pictures headed an article which said that it was with the more adventurous experimental groups that Ibsen found his way into the English and American theatre and it is outside of New York today, with the tributary theatres, that he still finds his most constant producers in America. One glance at the programs of any of the most prominent groups will prove this--The Lady From the Sea is in the repertory of the Cleveland Playhouse, The Wild Duck has al ready been played at the University of California this season. Now, to pick at random, comes news of William Dean's revival of A Doll's House at th Town Theatre, Columbia, S. C. The production of A Doll's House at Columbia, S. C. calls attention to the interesting work which William Dean is doing as director of the Town Theatre and the department of drqia at the University of South Carolina. Mr. Dean's varied program for the present season includes: Galworthy's "Justice;" O'Neill's, "Anna Christie;" Stravinsky's, "The Fire Bird" (L'Oisean de feu); Kelly's, "The Show Off;" Shaw's, "The Admirable Bash ville," (an hilarious blank verse ver sion of Shaw's Pugilist novel); Cashel Byrin's, "Profession ," (which has been too long overlooked by little theatres); Gilberts and Sullivan's "The Mikado;" and Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." Such a program as Mr. Dean's, with its Gilbert and Sullivan and Stravinsky alternating with regular plays, demon strates again that the tributary theatres, once past the "Musty Mact erlinckism" of their earlier days, their precious Pierrot fables, or their ear niest gloom, have become the greatest purveyors of both "literary" and real istic plays. It is by that, that Ibsen, Galsworthy and O'Neil are carried up andl down the country long after their New York runs have been exhausted. It is in short, by these little theatres that our modern playwvrights have be come permanent theatre realities and household wordls of the country at large. Y. M. C. A.

Never Gets a ""Bite" From This Tobacco Jasper, Tenn. March 23, 1927 Larus & Bro. Co. Richmond, Va. Gentlemen: I have always wanted to smoke a pipe. After several attempts I gave my "taste" up, for with each trial I got a blistered tonge. One evening, when looking over a certain outdoor magazine, I read that a certain fisherman could catch more fish when using "Edgeworth," so I decided I would try "his" tobacco for I am no poor fisherman! The next day I tried to secure Edge Worth. The local country storekeeper did not have it, so I sent by a friend to the city for my first Edgeworth. Two things have happened: I still smoke Edgeworth, and the local storekeeper always has a supply. I catch fish and never get "a bite" from EdgeworthI Yours for keeps, H. V.
