Three Studes Receive Roles Three Students Will Be Given Roles In Comedy, "She Stoops To Conquror" Two professors and three students at the University have been given prominent roles in "She Stoops To Conquer," which will be presented by the Town Theatre during the latter part of March. Those who will appear in the production are 'Professor Joseph M. Stokes, Professor Paul Patterson, Miss Elizabeth Creighton, Frank Durham, and Francis Letton. Since all the parts have not been cast, Director Belford Forrest, announced there is still an opportunity for those interested in acting to obtain them. Both professors and two of the students have appeared in several little theatre productions in the past, but Miss Creighton will make her first appearance on the Town Theatre stage in "She Stoops To Conquer." She will play the role of Miss Neville, one of the most prominent ones in Goldsmith's famous comedy. The production of this standard play will offer students the opportunity of supplementing their classroom study of English drama with actually seeing one of the old classic comedies on the stage. As the community theatre's recent production of "Hamlet" served I as an aid to students in their study of Shakespeare, Director Forrest announced that "She Stoops To Conquer" should prove equally as beneficial in the study of Goldsmith and his period.

Balf Earthquake Is Studied Here Carson Looks Into Seismographio Records Of California Quake $ ! Seismographic records taken by the University last June 6 which show in- 5 j dications coinciding with the California earthquake of that time are being ' ,% examined in connection with an in- ' vestigation of the quake it was announced recently by Professor A. C. Carson. Dr. Perry Byerly of the University of South Carolina is directing the investigation. ^ 'M The seismograph at the local University is under the auspices of Professor Carson. It has been in use for over two year? and is giving excellent service. The graphs on which the shocks arc recorded are sent to Washington to be examined. Although there are blast shocks from nearby quarries and heavy traffic by the building in which the seismograph is located, this docs not effect the graphs. Only those shocks from 5 to 12 minutes in duration are recorded. That throws these minor vibrations to pass with no effect on the recording needle. Sheets on which the shocks arc recorded are changed once every two days. This is done at 12 o'clock on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Anyone who wishes to see the seismograph and have it explained aire welcome at the time the sheets arc being changed. Greenwich time is used so that recordings all over America and in other countries can be checkcd easily. "Y" Discussion Groups Resume The regular weekly Tuesday night meetings of the discussion groups have been resumed after having been discontinued over examination period. The groups this semester will discuss current economic problems in the light of Christian ideals.

Mr. Hope further emphasized the necessity for an adequate program for teacher training to conserve and extend the progress already made in the field of public education.
