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.

by University students and the orchestra

of Madame de Horvath and others.
The production is being given just for
its own sake, for the pleasure that we
hope to have in presenting it, and for
the enjoyment of the University itself.
There will be no charge for admission,
for we want every interested person to
have the opportunity of hearing it."

the complete story of the opera."
An innovation of the production will
be interpolated conversation by the
characters in the opera. By this means
the entire and complete story of
"Faust" will be brought out.

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.

Jobs Open For
Good Teachers
"There is not an ever-supply of good
teachers -available for teaching positions,
although there is an over-supply
of applicants for jobs," declared
James H. Hope, State Superintendent
of Education, in an address delivered
to the students in the School of Education
on Thursday afternoon, February
16.
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.
Among the other matters discussed
by Mr. Hope were questions relating
to the differences in methods of operating
institutions which are tax supported
and those which are dependent
on private fees.
Preceding the address Miller Simpson
rendered several piano selections
and after Mr. Hope's speech the quin- \
tct of the Bethel Methodist Church
sang a group of spirituals.
At the conclusion of the program
tea was served in the University High
School Cafeteria by the members of
the Quintilian Club.
