The Very Idea!
By BURTON E. SHooK
Beginning next week on Wednesday
and continuing through Friday, high
school pupils from all over the state
will come to Columbia as guests of the
University while part4cipating in the
various athletic and forensic contests
as representatives of their schools.
This is the opportunity to show these
high school leaders what Carolina has
to offer them in the way of scholarship
and school activities. '[The fact that
they are the cream of the high school
athletic and schol'astin talent 'makes it
very desirable that as many of them as
possible come to the University when
their high school courses have been
completed.
Carolina has played the gracious host
to high school students so long that the
extending of our hospitality has- be
come a pleasant routine and of course
will be continued next week.
As a suggestion, any student having
an empty bed might "let it out," to one
of the visitors and help initiate him into
college life a little ahead of time. Each
st1ent, either ed or co-ed, could see
that the high schoolers from his or her
own town were suflicienttly looked after.
Anyway, Carolina welcomes them and
hopes to see a great many of them next
year as Gamecock "rats."

The; announcement that Miss Ora
Mae Jackson and Harry Davis will
compose the department of spoken
English at the Mississippi College for
Women next year cannot but be very
gratifying to members of the Univer
sity, and especially to I hose interested
in the Town Theatre.
These two have been connected with
the Town Theatre since Yours 'l'rulv
was a freshman, not vaguely interested
hut active in all phases of its work.
They are among those who can mod
estly take credit for helding to bring
the Town Theatre to its present
eminence in things theatrical.
The Little Theatre movement is at
taining greater significance every year
and is i.ow recognized as a prolific
contributor to the spoken drama. Miss
lackson and Mlr. Davis have been
among the pioneers who have made
this movement successful in South
Carolina, and well deserve this reward
of recognition.
The University and the state may
well be proud of these two and their
progress will always he followed with
keenest interest. Here's luck folks!

The increased attendance at baseball
games seem to be indicative of greater
interest and spirit on the part of the
student body.
The team certainly has responded by
tying Clemson, a former conqueror.
and beating Erskine in a close game.
By the way, Bob Stoddard is rapidly
turning into a one-man team and will
undoubtedly have a great year.
* * * * * * * *
in this column last wveek I express
ed the opinion that the student who
managed the boxing team was treated
very unfairly in not being given a
block letter and in not being invitedl
to the banquet at which the letters
were presented.
Concerning the baniquet, I have
found out that\ it was not an athletic
association affair, but a private feed
which was given by the gentlenman
who is dlirector of the gymmnasium. He
gave the baniquet to those who wvere
givenm letters and his invitations were
given out from a list of letter men
w hich was furnished him.
So for the reference to the banquet
as nmadle last week, I make an apiology.
Of course, this apology is not made
to the Grand Moguls who decided not
to give the letter to the manager. 'Their
act ion still seenms to have been groissly
unfair anmd in wretched taste.
The passing of tinme in no way al
leviates thle slight and it is to lbe hoped
that this miistake wvill not go uncorreet -

The story of the ballet was written
by Mr. Dean. The scene is laid in a
Russian toy shop filled with mechanical
toys. 'ihe interest centers arotur the
mechanical dolls ar(d it is through them
that the plot is worked out.
The ballet is directed by Mrs. Dean
and is her first production. Mrs. Dean
brings to the theater a vital combina
in of talent in 'lancing, music, costume
lesigning and stage practices. Mrs.
has drawn her cast from her dancing
c!asses.
The stage design was selected from
six models submitted hv Ml iss Hey
ward's art class in design. The setting
selected was made by Mr. James F.
Cooper of the University.
