PALMETTO PLA\ PRESENT MAW >:./ ... * /\ Professor Dean Will Announce The Opening of Biggea and Better Season Soon ??? The Palmetto Players, under the direction of William Dean, will open their second season at a date to be announced, in the near future. The Players will present six or more plays during the coming year, featuring, revivals, a play by two South Carolinians, and productions of a lighter nature. The year's program, which will be much b?oader than that of last year, is made possible largely by the great local interest taken in the work and by the new articles of stage equipment secured by the club. New lighting equipment has been bought and the stage hasNbeen worked over and improved. The background is now a neutral gray and a new curtain will make possible much improvement in the way of scenery. During 1929-1930 a total of 107 students were enrolled in the dramatic classes and 350 were used in the productions. With this cast to draw from there will be sufficient actors of experience to play the more difficult parts and to train the beginners. Wilmont Jacobs, manager of the Bureau of Dramatic Activities, will handle the work carried on throughout the state at large. In relation to the program planned, Mr. Dean says: "The number of productions will- be increased in order that the students may have ample opportunity to improve themselves in the dramtic arts. I want the Palmetto Players to belong to the University students and to the people of South Carolina, and hope by means of the club, to spread dancing, original playwriting and musical composition throughout the state. We will be glad for all students desiring parts in the ? productions to report for try-outs; no ^ red tape whatsoever is necessary." ^ The Players, who began their work last season with nothing but the will jsj to succeed, have attained a national reputation. They have received pubo licity in several leading theatre magac/j zines and scenes from "He Who Gets *Sj Slapped" have appeared in magazines and manuals along with those from the North Carolina Playmakers, and from the Carnegie Tech and Cambridge, England; clubs. Professor Dean will have a capable staff assisting him, consisting of: Music and dance director, Mrs. William Dean; legal advisor, Prof. Benjamin Hodges; treasurer, Frank Welbourne; manager of the bureau of dramatic activities, Wilmot Jacobs; general stage manager, Wilmot Jacobs, assistant stage managers, Robert McLane and Earnest Caughman; master electrician, Melton Lee Smith; company electrician, Sanders Guignard; master carpenter, H. L. Benedict; publicity, Wilson O. Weldon; and house manager, Robert Gressettc. Members of the Thespians will be used as ushers and the Green Room club is in charge of the social entertainment. Prices for the entire season will be 35 cents for students and $1.00 for others. A system of reserved seats has been installed in the chapel. P. 3. C. A squirrel was discovered perched on the head of a local freshman. They're hard to deceive. Before the campus walks were gravelled, one was continually cleaning red mire from his shoes; now one is continually plucking boulders out of them. U. 8. C. ARCHERS OUTLINE VIGOROUS SEASON The University of South Carolina archery team has already begun to round into vform for the 1930 season, and although the bow and arrow made its debut as a University sport last season, Marion Yates, coacji, has outlined a vigorous schedule for the Gamecock archers. Only Yates, himself, Roy Prince, T. C. Hankins, and R. L. Keaton of last year's squad, which succeeded in scoring 3,795 points in three matches against an opponent's score of 2,115, remain in school. It is planned to organize fhe squad hy the end of next week and prepare for an opening match by the latter part of October. The archers have hopes of arranging games with the men's city teams of Augusta, Charlotte, Florence, Sumter, Darlington, Winthrop College, and also with the Clemson archery team should one be organized there. Yates it also planning a novelty in tjie form of a match with an Indian team from Pinehurst, N. C.

He was acoinpanied by Mrs. McKissick. Dean McKissick says that in one ourse he tookr he was required to /rite a 92-page term paper, typewritten I nd single spaced between the lines, our hours research each day were retired for this ^>ne paper alone. All ad to be done in six weeks. After summer school was over, Dean McKissick and Mrs. McKissick toured he western part of the United States nd Canada. They were accompanied s far as Seattle, Washington, by Proessor Grant M. Hyde, head of the ichool of Journalism at the University >f Wisconsin.

While in Seattle Dean McKissick ays that one night they were enteramed with a bridge party given by a ady who was a Wisconsin alumna. >ince he didn't play bridge, the lady fave him an old Wisconsin annual to ?ok at. While glancing over it he was lUrprised to see the pictures of Proessor Fcrrel of the History department at the University of South Caroma, and of Professor Wilgus, former >rofessor of History here, who were leniors at the same time.
