ATHLETIC COUNCIL I
ISSUES DIRECTORY
Co-ed Association Puts Out
Bulletin Posting Students
On Aims And Work
A bulletin setting forth the activities
of the Women's Athletic Association is
to be published soon by the members of
the Athletic Council. It is the purpose
of this bulletin to inform the student
body what the Women's Athletic Association
is, what it is doing and what it
proposes to do the remainder of the
year.
This is a new venture for the athletic
department, and it is hoped that any
person feeling so inclined will write and
hand in any article pertaining to women's
athletics. This one will be followed by
another in the spring.
THURSDAY TEA IS
GIVEN BY Y. M. C. A
First Of Series To Be Sponsored
I By Ladies' Auxiliary
On Thursday afternoon from 5:00 to
6:00 the first of a regular series of
Y. M. C. A. teas will be held in
Flynn Hall. The giving of these teas
is a custom which the Y. M. C. A.
follows every year, beginning approximately
one month before examinations.
The programs will be presented
in form of an open house general
get-together of the campus.
Everyone is invited to attend, students
and faculty.
The Ladies' Auxiliary will have
charge of the refreshment part of the
program. Different sororities will have
charge of the serving of the edible
delicacies at each of the teas. Another
worthwhile attraction will be a delightful
musical program each week.
These teas will be held every
Thursday afternoon until the beginning
of examinations. They will afford
an excellent opportunity for professors
and students to get together
and discuss the various leading topics
of the day.

UNIVERSITY CLUB
HEARS BABCOCK
AND DeHORVATH
The University Club met Tuesday,
November 26, at the home of Miss
Elizabeth Lindsay. The program consisted
of a talk by Professor Havilah
Babcock of the English department of
the University, and musical selections
by Madame Felice de Horvath of the
music department.
Dr. Babcock discussed woman's entrance
into the field of literature and the
undisputed place which she has attained
in that realm.
Madame de Horvath rendered two
violin selections from the works of
Chopin. She was accompanied at the
piano by Mrs. E. O. Black.
The University Club is composed of
local women who are graduates of the

main work at present is providing a
scholarship to the University for a local
girl.
The club will hold its next meeting the

IKE BILLBOARD"
PRAISES PLAYERS
Palmetto Players Are Mentioned
For the Notable Work Of
Their First Season
"The Billboard," published in Cincinlati,
gives a splendid writeup of the Palmetto
Players this week. According to
Mr. Dean, head of the dramatics department,
this is one of the leading theatrical,
motion picture, and show world reviews
of the country, and we should be very
[>roud of this notice. The article follows:
"The Palmetto Players, of the University
of South Carolina, continue to dc
some outstanding work. Although the organization
is only beginning its second
season, they have already scored larg<
successes with 'He Who Gets Slapped,
'The Baby Cyclone/ and an original
musical production, 'Carolina Frolics ol
1930.' This season they will launch a
repertory system and will continue tc
tour throughout the state in selected plays
of high standard.
"The Palmetto Players recently sponsored
the appearance of the original
'Freiburg Passion Play,' in Columbia, S
C., which was given to capacity audiences
for eight performances, making the largest
gross since 'Ben Hur' was given many
years ago.
"Ir. addition to these activities th<
players maintain a bureau of dramatics
which assists all school and community
groups throughout the state in play selec
tion, production, scene designing, cos
turning, etc. The entire dramatic activity
is under the direction of Professor William
Dean, whose untiring efforts hav<
placed the Palmetto Players among leading
dramatic groups in the country."

But Retracts
In the first clubroom of the Adelphian
Society at Wesleyan, the society which
, was to bccome Alpha Delta Pi, a statue
of the Venus de Milo stood, untroubled
. by the constant warfare between faculty
and society over her presence there, although
curtains were draped over her
semi-nudity whenever the occasion demanded.
When a friend of the A. D. P.'s here
presented them with a huge portrait of
this statue, it was hung, appropriately
enough, in one of the living rooms, to
the great enjoyment of many of the
male visitors there.
A few days later, amid shrieks of
laughter, Venus was discovered wearing
a ruffled ballet skirt of white paper, with
frilled pantaloons showing beneath the
hem. To the imagination her broken arms
seemed curved as if in the midst of a
graceful dance. Her classic features
were still calm and untroubled, her digI
nity undisturbed.
Probably Venus communicated to the
. wag who had dressed her thus that she
. was a lady and not a chorus girl, for
, much to the chagrin of the household,
the dress was taken off.
Once more Venus looks down at the
merriment in the club room, dressed (?)
in her usual attire.

| Fashion's Foibles
Clothes make the woman as well as
I the man and one of the most important
elements of a costume is footwear. It
deserves the most careful consideration,
for it can make or destroy the effect of
an ensemble.
1 The shoes of this winter arc not the
vari-colored novel types of a few seasons
ago. They are more sober in color
and design and make up a complementary
r but not a striking part of the costume.
The colors now are almost exclusively
black and brown with a few appearing
j in navy blue or dark green.
Reptile is still the outstanding and almost
the only trimming. It lends itself
so well to combination with cither black
j or brown and goes so nicely with kid.
Reptile gives a dressy effect to any design
. without being gaudy.
Shoes for walking or street wear include
fancy "ties," straps, and pumps
' with long vamps. Among these, the fancy
"tic," with either high or low heel meets
with great favor. Straps in the semi|
dressy shoe are more popular this year
than formerly. Street shoes should match
1 the coat, and if possible, they arc made
^ of the same material as the purse. Black
^ kid combined with black and white reptile
arc smart with the popular black and
i white ensemble.
On the campus the co-ed finds it hard
. to choose between the crepe soled oxford
and the fancy oxford with a military
heel. The crepe-soled oxfords arc usually
found in two tones of brown or tan and
look best on the small foot.
For evening, moire and satin tinted to
i match the evening gown arc the most
| popular although silver kid is always
good and is pretty with any color dress.
White or tinted moire embroidered in
. silver or gold is very effective as is silver
brocade.
