Annual German Danced Friday Is Big Success Decorations Are Colorful Grand March Led By John Scott And Nancy Phillips; Gamecocks Furnish Music With an unusually attractive Valentine setting being used, the costume ball which the German club at the University of South Carolina gave last Friday evening in the University gymnasium was a big success. Southern smilax decked with numerous small red hearts entirely covered the ceiling of the spacious ball room, and a large number of chaperons attended the affair. Many of the guests wore lovely and interesting fancy costumes. Buster Spann and his Carolina Gamecocks furnished music. The grand march was led by John Scott, president of the ciub, with his partner, assisted by Joseph Miot, vice president, and his partner. Leading special figures were Adrian Spears, senior leader, with his partner, and James Brailsford, junior leader, with his partner. Officers of the German club, are: John Scott, president; Joseph Miot, vice president; David Hamilton, secretary; Fred Edmunds, treasurer; Dwight Cathcart, assistant treasurer; Adrain Spears, senior leader; James Brailsford, junior leader. Other Germans this season will be given at Easter and in June. Friday afternoon preceding the German the University Cotillion club entertained at a tea dance at Ridgewood Country club. The Gamecocks also played for this affair. Officers of the club are Sanders Guignard, president; John Marion, vice-president; Landon Jones, secretary and treasurer. Silent Period Begins Saturday With just two days of the mid-semester fraternity rushing period left before pledge day, February 20, rushing has Income more hectic than ever. Dances, moonlight picnics, parties, formal and informal dances, smokers, buffet suppers, and just plain ordinary dates have followed each other in rapid succession. The practice of giving small house dances has become much more popular; usually radios furnish the only music. Few fraternities have given large dances, and smokers have seemed the most appropriate manner of entertaining. Of course the cigars given away on these occasions often bring about disastrous results, but this means of enjoyment is sometimes cherished even by upperclassmen. Several fraternities have also made use of the boxing match and the basketball games this week as an effective and inexpensive of impressing their rushees. p. . o. Examinations Given To Students At Cologne American and other foreign students, especially of the medical faculty, will henceforth be more carefully examined as to their preparatory qualifications before they are admitted to the University of Cologne. This will be done in order not to take limited accommodations in laboratories away from German students. The Prussian Ministry of Education has ordered that all applications of foreign medical students be submitted to it before they are admitted. As a result of this stricter control only fifteen out of sixty American students who applied recently for admittance actually arrived. c. m. a. Ohio State University: No official excuses for cuts are now required because the maintenance cost of the absence file in the dean's office was too great. COLUMBIA OFFICE SUPPLY CO.

Journalism Field Is i Available To Women Many opportunities are open to women in the field of journalism, Mrs. j Ogden Mills Reid, vice-president of the New York Herald Tribune, said in a speech before the delegates to the Women's Intercollegiate News Association at Bernard College recently. "There is an actual need," said the speaker, "for women in newspaper work, because the papers are catering to women readers. It is the women I who do seventy-five per cent of the purchasing, and it is the advertising that supports the paper. Women readers being necessary in order to make the advertising effective it needs women to write and plan how to in- J terest them. "The modern paper offers an outlet for almost any talent women may have," she went on. "Positions can be secured in editorial work, advertising, circulation, accounting, promotion or even linotype operating. There are 6,000 such women operators in America. One-sixth of the New York Herald Tribune employees are women, numbering 252, distributed as follows: Fifty-four editorial, fifty-two advertising, one hundred and five business departments, twenty-five service, sixteen mechanical, including three linot- ~>e operators."

Balf rage WTW trs Will r Allen Poe*' grid's Premiere Jeppe To Head Cast _ Payne-Stevens Play Has Musical Setting; To Play At Winthrop ' $ "Edgar Allan Poc," under the di? rcction of William Dean is to be presented as the world premiere of that play, in Drayton Hall the last week in February and the first week in March. "Edgar Allan Poe" was written in collaboration by B. Iden Payne and Thomas Wood Stevens. Mr. Stephens is the author of "From Athens to Broadway" while Mr. Payne directed John and Ethel Barrymore together in '"Claire de Lune". The latter also directed John Barryinorc in "Justice," by John Galsworthy, and Ethel Barrymore in "Declasse". Mr. Payne was the director-general of all the Charles Frohman's plays. The play which is a biographical sketch of the life of the great southern poet, will be mounted in the beautiful costumes and appointments of the period to the accompaniment of an exquisite musical setting especially arranged for "Edgar Allan Poe" by Berry Scay. The cast of the production, according to Mr. Dean is one. that has been carefully selected. The title role will by played by Douglas Jeppe. His last appearance upon the stage in Columbia, was as Falder, in "Justice", staged by Mr. Dean with the late John Galsworthy's consent. After combing the campus for the suitable character to play the role of "Poe" it was found that no one could meet the requirements for the different role and with the unanimous approval of the president of the student body, faculty members and the dramatic department, Mr. Jeppe was invited to play "Poe". In playing "Edgar Allan Poe", Mr. Jeppe has assumed a very difficult role which demands a highly imaginative interpretation for so diversified a character as "Poe". The part of Helen Osman will be played by Mrs. Rowena Jones Halsey, a graduate of the University in the class of '31. Rena Buchanan will be cast as Virginia Poe. This is her first appearance on the University stage. Dr. Ewing Tucker Bonn, who will be remembered for his excellent performance in "As Husbands Go" as Charles Lingard, will play the part of the famous Nathaniel P. Willis. Mr. Chivers, the Georgian poet will be played by Richard Morgan. Jack Payne will play the butler at the home of Miss Lynchs and Lawrence Yates will be Mr. Quincey. Those who will take part in the musical setting are: Sarah Williamson, Mary Adele Wilson, Jean Way Harvey, Dorothy Miller, Dell Goodwyn, Harriet Connor, Garda Sylvan, and Elizabeth Roberts. Fifteen reservations have already been received for the play, and "Edgar Allan Poe" has been definitely booked for presentation at Winthrop College March 11, according to Mr. Dean. XT. I.
