BEAUFORT SEES UNIVERSITY PLAY "HE WHO GETS SLAPPED" Mr. Dean Gives A List Of Presentations To Be Given This Term Returning from Beaufort after staging "He Who Gets Slapped' there Friday night, the Palmetto Players under the direction of William Dean arc preparing to launch a scries of dramatic productions during the remainder of the school term. The players go to Winthrop College on a second trip the latter part of this month, the presentation in Beaufort being the first given away from home by the organization. "Our next production will be an American comedy, the title of which is to be announced soon," Mr. Dean says. "Three and possibly four other productions will be staged during the spring months." After the comedy, a musical production will be in order, according to the tentative schedule of theatricals. Then the Shakesparean play, "Twelfth Night," will be staged, and afterwards an international bill of folk plays. A short play may close the season just before June examinations. " 'Twelfth Night' will open on April 2:i, the date of Shakespeare's birthday," Mr. Dean remarked. "It will be an appropriate celebration, one of if not the first Shakespearian commeinorials held in South Carolina. Incidentally, 1 plan to take the part of I-'este, the clown, in the production. It will be my first active role in connection with the Palmetto Players." The comedy and musical production will have separate casts, since both are to be rehearsed at the same time, one in the afternoon, the other at night. Mr. Dean expects to rotate Ins actors and gain variation by introducing new students especially fitted for the various parts that may be vacant. "Twelfth Night" will have a cast composed of the best actors in previous productions, however. The Beaufort stand of "He Who Gets Slapped," was presented in the high school auditorium under auspices of Beaufort Parent-Teacher association. The audience was large. Between the third and fourth acts, Director Dean introduced his entire cast from the stage, an innovation which was received with applause. "The whole town seemed pleased," one of those making the trip said. "Favorable comment was general, and we had a fine time." A dance was given in the community house to honor the University students after the show, and they were pleasantly entertained. U.H.C.

He declared that funds handled under the old system were adequately accounted for. "Anything suits me as long as I know that my publication will have money to meet its bills," The Caro- 1 linian manager continued. "But the new system means too much work for 1 business managers, though I am willing to operate under the treasurer's ' vouchers." Mr. Shealy agreed that the new system might prove cumbersome. Concerning a point now raised as i to the origin of the fund, Ashley Hal- 1 sey, editor of the Gamecock, stated that the fund had been founded about 1919 or 1920 after a student body meeting petitioned the board of trus- i tees to have the treasurer collect funds i for a stated scries of activities. There i was general comment on the origin of the fund. Hildebrand Reads Resolutions i At this juncture, R. R. Hildebrand, i chairman of the student body com- < mittee, rose to offer the resolutions I passed at the student's session. "We think Doctor Foster a fine man. He is unopposed by this committee," 1 Hildebrand said in prefixing the read- ! ing. "Nevertheless, the other reso- ' lutions offered for the approval of the ' trustees give the office of director of student activities too much power. "In years to come, should Doctor ' 1'oster go elsewhere, a new man in ' the directorship might be tempted to ' make radical changes, from which the \ students could have recourse only ' after an appeal. It is easier to refrain ' from passage of a law than to appeal from it after its enactment." 1 Hildebrand emphasized the fact that 1 the sole method of change in apportioning the fund should be by the trus- ! tees upon petition from the student ' body. Members of the trustees com- ' mittee later agreed that there ought ' to be no hasty shifting of the financial 1 ratio without reference to the students. "I doubt if the new system would provide a better check on finances of J the activities than did the old," Hildebrand declared. "It tends to throttle student initiative also." He then read the resolutions passed in student body meeting, to the effect ; that the system of handling student j activities money remain the same as in the past for the duration of the year; that a graduate manager or , other <)fficial not connected with the athletic department be placed in charge of the student activity fund and ' manage it separately from any other; \ and that the student body goes on record as opposing the proposed plan for the disbursement of the fund. 1 Beall Points Weakness In the discussion following the i reading of these resolutions, Julian i Beall, student body president, said | that one objection was to the evident < flexibility of the fund, since sums < might be shifted from one activity to another at short notice. i W hen invited to give his opinion, i Robert Wauchopc, editor of the Gar- i net and Rlack, stated that he wished i the allocation of money to remain as already apportioned. | Robert Sparks, business manager of ; the Garnet and Rlack who has reI OF BAL' .TORS OF Sr FOR 3LLEGE MET ersity Men an Ex?

The editor and myself sign personal contracts amounting to $8,800," he stated. "We are responsible for this money, and should therefore have control of it. It would embarrass the University to take over the annual's contracts, since the University allotment for it amounts to only $5,200, and the difference in cost, $:$,G00, must be raised by the staff." He referred to difficulties experienced during the term in obtaining money for the transaction of business, and launched a lengthy talk upon the subject. He argued methods of handling the money for the annual, also. "I feel privileged to handle the money as I see fit," Sparks told his hearers. He raised strenuous objections to presenting the bills in detail to *'1C office of student activities. The meeting then dissolved into a discussion between individuals of the two committees concerning their common problem. Students Have Hot Meeting Upon publication of the student activities committee's set of resolutions in The Gamecock January 14 at the request of Doctor Foster, a student body meeting was called within the week. Chapel was crowded with men students only when Robert Sparks ascended the platform occupied by Julian Beall and R. E. Gressette, student body secretary. Speaking for almost half an hour, Sparks entered upon a vigorous denunciation of the resolutions and those who drew them up. lie uncovered a long series of real or apparent weaknesses in both system and administrators, closing with the statement that he and the editor were responsible for the annual contracts, and that he did not wish the money to pay them to be left in other hands. Lawrence Case, president of the Euphradian society, took issue with Sparks. Case declared that both sides of the question had to be faced. He depicted the student activities committee as an instrument with Doctor I'ostcr at its head. "I am heartily in favor of letting the University treasurer handle the fund," the Euphradian president said. Declaring that he was unbiased but sought fairness to all, A. C. Clement mo\ ed that the students be represented at the meeting of the trustees, since Doctor I'oster and his committee had acted without ascertaining the students attitude. This later carried, and the student committee was appointed by the chair, then R. B. Hildcbrand. Hildebrand, speaking from the floor, predicted possible abuses which might I arise through the drastic interpretation of faculty committee's resolutions. He spoke without personal malice to anyone, he said. Julian Beall relinquished the chair to Hildebrand in order to refute statemcnts of Sparks concerning the situation. Beall upheld Doctor Foster's position and the action of the faculty committee. He engaged in a heated debate with Sparks. R. II. Atkinson, past editor of The liamccock, plead for the student activity fund to be kept at its present ratio, and to be handled through the treasurer's office. The first resolution, that the fund be handled as in the past, carried by a large majority.

John Scott, telephone operator, found a brown pocketbook containing $.10 on the table in the outside room ot the telephone exchange late Saturday night and returned it Sunday morning to its owner, Nigel League whose name was in the purse. League had just finished a victorious in the South CarolinaOhio Wesleyan debate and had occasion to use the exchange's telephone. 1 robably because of the excitement occasioned by his recent triumph, he left the pocketbook on the table Scott happened to find the purse and on being relieved from duty went o ^eague s old address. Finding that the latter had moved, he looked up His new address in the morning and returned the pocketbook before its loser had risen for his day of rest. U.H.O.

The survey committee is composed of 24 young men and women of Washington street church, and M. H. Shepherd, Jr., is chairman. At the close of this survey on Friday evening the canvassing committee will be entertained at a supper at Washington Street church by the June Nicholson Missionary Society. The presiding elder and other Methodist ministers of the city will be guests on this occasion which will mark the organization of the Methodist Students' Council, a fellowship for Christian service on the University campus and in the community. u.s.a.
