Palmetto Play Begin Pre William Dean Selects Wilde's] 4 The Ideal Husband'' As Season Opener J-" 1 he Palmetto Players of University of South Carolina are ready to embark upon their third season with a veritable banquet prepared for the dramatic table in Columbia and throughout the state. The first major production will be staged by William Dean who has selected Oscar Wilde's comedy "The Ideal Husband" to initiate the new season. The production to follow will be "The Admirable Bashville" by George Bernard Shaw. This production has been promised before but a suitable cast is necessary and this, Mr. Dean thinks, is now available. y . Mr. Dean has given two years preparation to this production and as- I sures a very unusual treatment with particular emphasis on the comedy values. On the same bill will be a one-act play by Barrier or Shaw as a curtain raiser. The cast for "The Admirable Bashville" will number not less than one hundred and fifty. A series of one-act plays written I solely by American authors will be produced by the studio group which is comprised of the dramatic classes. J These plays will he directed, acted, and staged by the students under the I supervision of Mr. Dean. In conjunction with the Department of Romance Language the Palmetto Players will present "A Doctor in Spite of Himself" by Moliere. The play will be given in French, with complete stage mount-1 >" costumes of the period. The Dean Dancers will appear in . dance recitals during the season under L I the direction of Mrs. William Dean. , I She hopes to arrange some figures in i I the schools of American Ballet, the ^^8 new German Rhythmic dancing, and , | a series of dance pantomines.

LATHAM Have you ever noticcd the place on the third floor of Dean Rowe's house, where a tree pushed a limb through when it was felled by the wind in the hurricane of 1928? u. s. o. Highlights, of the Duke Game: No good fights were visible to the students from their seats?just think what we missed 1 Curran Hughey was the first player on the field to throw off his helmet. The inrush of unpaid spectators when the gates were opened after the half. The way Clary grinned whenever he rose to his feet after he had been tackled. The military precision of the Duke band, when they marchcdonto the field during the half. The remarkable cheering leading by one man on the Duke side as opposed to the separated corps of Gamecock cheerleaders. Better cut out this echo stuff. The traffic jam after the game. Just three weeks until we see another game out there. Wonder if we'll be victors then? Dr. Babcock had the pleasure of transporting a student on his back across a stream a short time ago while on a dove hunt below Ellorce. Incidentally, no doves were killed by the campus nimrod. v. 8. o. Cold weather finally made its appearance and was the signal for sweaters and winter coats to make their debuts on the campus. They really come in handy when otic has to meet at eight o'clock class. U. 8. C. The practice by Carolina students of painting the football scores on Main street has been revived. It is about time the old spirit reasserted itself. That Duke?0, Carolina?7, looks good to us! U. 8. C. Did you know that: A grove of pine trees once occupied the center of Gibbes Green? A small golf course for Carolina enthusiasts was also located there? Dr. Currell was the last president ' of the University to occupy the building where the Registrar's office is now 1 located? 1 There was a duel at Carolina? ' caused by a dish of "grits" over in ' Steward's hall? : Flinn hall was the student social ' center of the campus when Dr. Flinn ' was living there? At one time, Carolina students wore uniforms? 1 At the beginning of the Civil War, I the students organized a student com- I pany and wanted to get to Charleston * to help in the attack on Fort Sumter? 1 A Union soldier is supposed to be buried somewhere on the Carolina ' campus? John H. Gary, a Carolina student ' who was the captain of the student ( volunteer company from the University 1 was killed in the war? 1 Carolina students, displeased with ' the meat they were receiving at Stew- ' ird's hall, put a wreath of roses around ' the neck of an old cow and leading lier down to the river offered her as a 1 ;acrificc for better meat? i Rutledge College had one wing destroyed by fire? It was later rebuilt? An annual ball was held by students n the hall of the house in the capitol ouilding? The legislatures always had l fight to decide whether to let them lave the hall or not. The up-country delegates invariably voted "no" while , the low-country men voted "yes?" Several generals and major-generals in the army of the Confederate states were Carolina men? That vegetable and flower gardens once surrounded the president's home? Twenty-five years ago the University did not have a Registrar? That literary societies used to meet on Saturday night? That students used to have to furlish their own fuel? That "States Rights" Gist, a Caroina student who went to Harvard, >nce played a game of billiards with I ;x-President Franklin Pierce without 1 mowing his partner's identity? That all these things are true and ire among the unwritten traditions of ' >ur Alma Mater? j TJ. s. c. Back to the present.

The following committee members from Columbia were present: Prof, j G. Croft Williams, chairman; Dr. Pat- i terson Wardlaw; Mr. A. C. Flora; I Dr. James A. Hayne, state health of- i ficer; Mrs. W. C. Cathcart; Miss Nellie i Whaley; and Miss Nellie A. Cunning- i ham. Miss Leila Johnson, adjunct < professor of sociologly at the Univcr- i sity of South Carolina was also present upon the request of the committee. < This meeting was merely a prelim- , inary to another meeting to be held ; probably sometime this fall. At that 1 time all persons and agencies in South t Carolina interested in the promotion > of child welfare will be asked to be ( represented. Concrete measures will , then be brought forward. t This committee was recently ap- j pointed by Gov. I. C'. Blackwood upon the request of President Hoover to fol- < low up the work done by the meet- ? ing of the National Child Welfare j Council at the White House a short time ago. Professor Williams, Dr. Wardlaw, ^ and Mr. Flora were appointed to serve j as a planning committee. < According to Professor Williams f son\c states are already organizing their work and every hope is advanced j that they will do much to benefit child j life. t U. 8. C. ^ Courses Not In Catalogue I Several courses at this University of South Carolina are not listed in the catalogue. The best known of these is the much 'talked of campus course classes that is met at the wall, College Shop, or various bull sessions " carried on in dormitories. This is a . :oursc required of all freshmen, and 11 llthough it is seldom "busted," most jpperclassmen insist on repeating it so ong as they remain at the University. Freshmen are required to take 11 'Carolina Spirit." The first class is ^ net in chapel under the name of a >ep meeting. Other gatherings for the icrusal of this intricate study are on he football field, shirt-tail parades, ^ ind various athletic contests. One course at Carolina is not only eft imprinted in the catalogue, it is >eldomly talked of. Yet it is as borough and complete a course as any :>f the others. There are two definite f ways in which a Carolina man may K pursue the fine art of "cussin." One ^ way to become educated in this line is to work on the Gamecock?work K late after all co-eds have gone home. The other is to call Wardlaw tene- a inent for a series of nights and ask ^ for the horse doctor. U. H. C. ^ Smith Speaks To Graduates v Dr. Reed Smith, dean of the Grad- a uate school, will give lectures on "Bibliography and Methods of Research," on the four Mondays in October at S o'clock' in Davis 15.

Sam Taylor, ' president of the local Y. Mr. Oleinick was born in Ukrania. During the war, his father was called into service and as a result the family, of which Constantine was the oldest ( boy, suffered untold hardships. He 5 described scenes of horror and famine 1 that accompanied the Revolution, and { told of how he and his sister spent 1 several years in the forests surround- ' ing his home. 1 Soon afterward, according to the y speaker, he came into contact with American missionaries who gave him ' i copy of the Bible. From then on, lis life underwent a change, and all { :he gloom and horror of persecution ?vas forgotten in the joy of a Chris- 1 :ian life, Oleinick said. He came to 1 \inerica several years ago, and hopes a :o return to carry Christianity to his J ieople in Russia. a "Communism," says Oleinick, "is a 1 loctine which combines government, \ .ociety, and religion of the Soviet. It S s the religion of the Russian, as much is Christianity is in America." \ Oleinick blames atheism -in Russia a o the old State church before the war. li ie told his audience that "the old 'J State church of pre-war Russia is the h nothcr of atheism." n "Russia," he says, "will ?somc day g >e the greatest nation in the world, s Jpon the heap of destruction after F he war, God is building up a New p Church, according to the pattern of lie New Testament." The meeting Sunday night was pre ided over by Sara Cassels. Special nusic was rendered by Miss Margaret 'atrick and Miss Eugenia Burney. U. 8. C.
