03 CO MISSIONARY TO AFRICA SPEAKS Roy Schafer Addressed Y. W. C. A. Thursday Night On His Work In Africa Roy Schafer, a missionary to Africa spoke at Y. W. C. A. Thursday night. He told ahont his missions to the foreign field, including the dress and habits of the particular tribe for which he was working?the Masai Tribe. After briefly sketching the history of the tribe and showing its location in Africa, he pointed out many interesting scenes by the use of slides. The types of huts the nations lived in, the kind of dress they wore especially in marriage which they continued wearing until death, the spirit of valor, the interest in warriors and on to the civilization of these people were explained by the speaker. The picturesque beauty of these slides convinced the large number present that Mr. Schafer really enjoyed and was proud to do the work for the people he loved so dearly. U.N. o. PRINCE OF WALES FOR LONG SKIRTS SUGGESTIONS OFFERED We see that the I'rince of Wales has come out for long skirts to help the cloth industry. Since he doesn't have to wear 'em he can afford to. Soon, we suppose, the bachelor prince will be coming out for large families to help the baby carriage industry! Perhaps he believes in wasp waists to help the corset industry; and bustles to help the hair and wire industry. Why, we wonder, doesn't the Prince use his influence for a return to coats f of mail? Just think how it would help the steel industry! Why not also suggest a vogue of non-vaccination; it would help the undertaker's industry. Why not go back to sail boats to help the cottoncloth industry? Why not an insistence that the great oil-burning ships of the British navy go back to using coal to help the nearly dead coal mining industry in England? Why not use gas lights again? Makers of gas-mantles and gas-piping would be immensely benefitted. Why not any or all of these? Because, in the course of years and experience, better ways have been discovered and adopted. This idea should be applied to women and their skirts. Are long skirts more desirable, more comfortable, more economical, more healthful. than short skirts? Does the present status of women in business, industry and the professions make for a life in which the clothing worn by tlie strictly stay-at-home woman, the more or less inactive woman, of a generation ago would be in any manner suitable or practicable? These are the questions to be considered in a radical change of style for women's clothing. Women should not be asked to make what might be a backward step to save any industry. u.s.c. ELIZABETH WHITE HERE FOR EXHIBIT Miss Elizabeth White was in Columbia recently for the Art exhibit which was held at the Columbia Public Library.

BOHEMIAN HOUSE SCENE OF DANCE CHRISTMAS PARTY GIVEN '1 he Bohemian House was the scene of an informal Christmas dance, Saturday night, Dec. 7. Besides the usual Christmas decorations Southern smilax and Spanish moss were used effectively in the various rooms. About fifty guests were served punch and a jolly holiday spirit prevailed. Dancing lasted from 9 to 12. U.H.O. Dr. Clarke: "Can you tell me who started the Lions Club?" David Harrcll: "Daniel, I suppose." Is she a wonderful girl? Yes, figuratively speaking. >-ED NEV Campus a9 la Carte ^ Bill Herbert says ii's a good policy never to have a date with a girl?after she has broken one. Experience is a great teacher, Bill, j even at the cost of an evening. ^ We hear that Melton Goodstein is is going out for track. Railroad tracks 't would be fine for those feet to run on. j What happened to Percy Petit's j cigarette last night while rehearsing t "He Who Gets Slapped?" < Freshman McCutchcn swallowed a ^ vietrola needle the other night. He's ( still playing around. 2 Mrs. Floride Goddard is to be con- J gratulated for the manner in which j she chaperoned the dance at Bohemian j Mouse last Saturday. ^ I We hear she wound the phonograph, tuned the radio, kept the "spike" out of the punch bowl, and ( prevented parking on the front porch. And at that, the house was filled with mistletoe. Perhaps it would be a good idea to decorate the gym entirely with mistletoe for the Christmas German and Danias. Think of those x-x-x-x- t xmas kisses. i How's this for a cast, "Punk" Atkin- i son, Wilmot Jacobs, and Griffeth j Pugh, are to be seen in "He Who ( Gets Slapped." Sorta made a wild \ cast when those fish were caught. r r t Everybody says Mitchell Morse was <. just "the cutest thing" when he made i a speech at The Gamecock staff's ban- c quet Saturday night. c Who can explain the scattered fire v hose found on third floor of the dorm.

DO-EDS DISPLAY SPRAINED ANKLES FALLEN ARCHES ALSO Folks, you may have already settled his little problem of mine in your nind long before, perhaps even you ire on the inside and knew all about t long before this. But it has been nizzliug, even worrying me, for some imc now. What's the cause of this vave, so to speak, of sprained ankles uul fallen arches so prevalent at this imc among the co-eds? Every day, :vcn every hour during the day, 1 licet them on the campus. The first ine hobbles on her right foot, the next me on her left and believe it or not, yesterday I met one with both feet securely bound up and she hobbled m both feet. Later in the day I over-heard a reshman express her concern over his deplorable fact and the only itiswer she received to her inquiries ,vas, "it's all 011 account of that horrible old Jim." Now, I'dc just like to ask who this 'horrible old Jim" is, where lie resides and what the afflicted co-eds arc danning to do about. I wonder if Miss Helen Smith, Physical Educaion director would prove to be a possible source of information. U.8.C.

DRAMATIC CLUB OPENS SEASON (Continued From Page 1) lie world which has never understood lim and which has cheapened all .his inest thoughts?a motive that has a simpler parallel in his wife's deserion ?f him for hir inferior imitation ?and conies to join a circus. Here indcr the clown's ridiculous garb he vill say his great thoughts, tell the rowd what wise and beautiful ideas irisc in him, and get himself laughed it for a fool; when all the while the nockery and jest are at their expense. 11 the company there is Consuelo, lot a mere young girl, but the figure >f all beauty, white and rose and gold, gnorant of the world, untouched. >he is the centre of all the love moives in this play that turns 011 love 11 all its kinds; and is herself the deal thing, unconscious of itself, desired by all the others. And there, 00, is Benzano beautiful, cruel, destroying, as life and passion are destroying. He, the clown, loves Consuelo for herself and because she is he image of all beauty. And in the nd he kills her to save her fro* i the lcfilcincnt of the Baron's hands; and ic dies with her, following beauty >ut of the world as he had followed it 11 all his life, slapped and jeered and nisundcrstood to the very last by the rrowd about him. This is Andeyev's play, a tragic antasy around the ironical career that ruth and distinction meet at the lands of the common mass of men. This excellent drama will be presented in performance in the near fuure at the University chapel theatre >n the campus. u.n.o. "Why don't you use both hands?" relied the traffic cop.
