Reed To Speak To Students Monday And Tuesday New Director Of Town Theatre; Former Head Of University Department Of Dramatics University students will be given an opportunity to meet and hear the new director of the Town Theatre, Mr. Danny Reed, at chapel Monday and Tuesday of next week. Mr. Reed will make a ten minute address to the students on each of these mornings. As a former instructor in the En glish and Dramatic Departments of the University, Mr. Reed was active in the student activities of the campus and he has expressed a desire to meet as many of the young men and women as he can. Many students are taking advan tage of the Town Theatre and have visited the Director to enroll as a sea son-ticket holder or as workers in the various technical departments. Among these are: David M. Galloway, Jr., Gilmer Har rel, Ray Benton, William King, Edwin McGrath and many others. Mr. Reed says that the absence of co-eds is noticeable and that he would b)e glad to have more girls enroll in the theatre. He hopes that bo0th fac ulty members and students will avail themselves of the many opportunities afforded by the theatre. A. C. E.Wishes New_Activities To Replace Seminars Sigma Alpha Zeta, Chemical Group, Holds Wednesday Night Business Meeting The American Society of Civil En gineers held its first meeting of the year Wednesday night in Sloan Col lege. Plans were discussed for some new field of work to take the place of the Civil Engineering seminars, which were conducted by the society last year, but which have been dis continued this year. These seminars were recognized by the School of En gineering and carried one credit. Be cause of the overload of credits car ried already, this recognition had to be dropped. The American Institute of Electrical Engineers held a short meeting Tues day afternoon. Melvin Levkoff, sec retary of the organization, announced that the next meeting would be held Wednesday, October 7, at 7 p. m. New members will be elected at this meeting.

Maxcy Grave Finally Marked 116 Years After Death I#andsome Monument Erected By First President's Grandson's Wife After lying for 116 years without any means of identification the grave of Jonathan Maxcy, first President of South Carolina College, has at last been marked with a handsome monu ment. The marker, made out of pol ished blue granite, was erected this summer by Mrs. Gregg Maxcy, wife of the grandson of the noted educator, and her four sons. The grave lies in one of the extreme western lots of the First Presbyterian Church yard in this city. The side of the stone facing Marion Street is in scribed simply: "Jonathan Maxcy, first president of South Carolina Col lege." On the reverse side are the dates of his birth and death, Septem ber 2, 1768, and June 4, 1820. The name of his wife, Susan Hopkins, is also engraved on the stone. Carolina ODDITIES By Don Causey Spruce White, local gourmet, should take lessons from the yore (your grandfather's heydey) before he leads the campus in a revolt against the mess hall menu. The agitators of that era clamored for and won right to eat off the campus, although a few were expelled or left. But, even then there were conditions-no boarding house could serve hard liquors to the stu dents. This column would advise the cam pus Romeo (who lives in Elliott), who recently turned Elizabethan, to stick to radio hereafter. Feeling like ex pressing his amorous sentiments, he sauntered to a position beneath his true love's window. After twanging a few twangs on his stringed instru mnent, a projectile zipped from above with all the passionate strength of an enraged awakened damsel. It made a three point landing on the top of his head. Ordinarily the story would end here, but fictional as it seems, the milk bottle bounced from his cranium to that of a companion standing some feet away. The luckless companion suffered unconsciousness, while poor Romeo limped off curiously feeling his slight knot on his noodle. Frances Hart seems to be the shin ing light of English 129. She knows all the answers. For Frances it is no trouble at all to-supply the exact wvords in sentences. Her latest accomplishments have been in calling a child born after its father's death a post mortem. A so cial clique or group is a fraternity and a body used by pre-med students, in stead of the trite word cadaver, is a stiff to Frances. Just to show you that University students have the Columbia College girls classified, listen to what Adolph Pearson told his ticket sellers Wed nesday afternoon. "Of course, Co lumbia College girls get in for child fare. You can always tell them by the fact that they come in droves of fifteen or twenty and all wear hats. They will all be talking at one time, and asking questions. If you are still in doubt, and nothing else works, call Wilmot Brown. He is an authority." -U. U. 0. Sigma Alpha Zetas, honorary chem ical society, held a business meeting Wednesday night in LeConte College. The engineering and scientific so cieties are of great value to students in these fields in that they provide an opportunity for discussion of current engineering problems and practices. Membership in these societies is based upon excellence in one of these fields of engineering or science.

Melton Dome Turning Green "The dome of Melton observatory will, in a few more years, 'be green in stead of black," Dr. L. L. Smith, pro fessor of Geology at the University, has stated. Doctor Smith explained that the dome of the observatory had once been a bright, shiney, copper, but be cause of the formation of a copper carbonate it will gradually change in to a green, .the .shade of that on the State house dome. This condition, it was explained is brought about by the union of car bon dioxide with some of the sub stances that compose copper. Doctor Smith failed to state just how many years it would be before students and observers will be afford ed the pleasure of viewing the new tint. YOUR LOOSE 4 Ironc your! worri1 ' s:?
