Survey Shows Grades Count The old statement that a good scholarship record counts for nothing while extra-curricular activities and "contacts" are all-important has been disproved, according to Dr. C. H. Waterfall, of the University school of economics. Doctor Waterfall's conclusions were based on his study of a survey con ducted by the Bell Telephone system in which the records of 3,806 employees were examined. Men in the first tenth of their class, 20 years after gradu ation, draw a salary 20 per cent higher than those of the substantial campus achievement group. This does not mean that students should confine themselves strictly to studies, but they should participate more in the literary, editorial, and managerial fields than in athletic, social, musical, or dramatic endeavors. DRAMATIC GROUP PRESENTS COMEDY Lewis And Webb Star University Players Will Present "Enter Uncle Hal" On No vember 18 and 19 The University Players, Carolina dramatic organization, will present "Enter Uncle Hal," a drawing room comedy, in Drayton hall on the nights of November 18 and 19, according to Dorothy Scott, president of the or ganization. The price will be twenty five cents to all. The roles of the bride and groom will be played by Lucy Lewis and David Webb, respectively. Sam Cart ledge will be the venerable Uncle Hal; Jane Crout, the mother-in-lawv; Rosa Wilder, the old negro "mammy" who foresees trouble; and Louis Searson, the perky reporter, who has the habit of being thrown out. The story of this drawing room com edy treats the perplexing problems of a young married couple who are in terrupted on their honeymoon by their stodgy and unwelcomed Uncle H-al. This comedy was written by Mrs. Ed Cardwell, a native Columbian, and the aunt of Elizabeth Cardwell, University student. The play has never been produced by any other group and it represents an effort on the part of the University Players to stage a pro. duction of peculiar interest to Colum bians and South Carolinians. The production is being directed by Prof. Maurice Stephan, head of the Romance L.anguage department. Professor Stephan will be remembered for his capable dlirectinig of "The Ninth Guest," and Count Leo Tolstor's, "Re demption." which was presented by the dramatic group last year. The director is being assisted with the technicalities of the production by Wil liam S. Woods, associate professor of Ronmance Lnguages. WPA Repairs Dormitories Buildings Being Painted Government Appropriates $15,000 To Renovate Quarters Of Students On Campus Painting and other repairs are be ing made in the men's dormitories with a W.

U. be longed to no political party as has often been misconceived. He stated that the Union stood for "the abolition of the R. 0. T. C., for the hindrance of preparation for war, academic free donm, and the support of the move to stop the war aggressor." Two years ago an anti-war demon stration was staged by the student body. Classes were suspended for the hour and several hundred students par ticipated. Chapters of the Union have been in stalled at practically all of the leading colleges and universities of the United States.
