Scate BY MARY BEI Thanksgiving clay is o'er (as you may have noticed) and those big af fairs of the Christmas season are upon us. Damas Doings Last night was the big night for our Damas damsels for that dance club pulled its first ball of the season in the University gym. The affair was slight ly colossal with decorations, many chaperones, and an imported orches tra-Jimmy Pointer's bunch from North Carolina. Leading dames of the, dance in cluded Sis Wright, president of the organization, Harriet Boyd, Margaret Collins, senior leader, and Carolyn hIonteith, junior leader. Beauxing these helles at this ball were (reading left to right): Fritz Turner, Sammy Cartledge, Bernard Hester, and Billy aliller. All this was what is known as the Christmas Damas-pre-Santa Clause stuff. Looking Forward Through the courtesy of the Inter Fraternity Council and a few others, the Sigma Alpha Epsilons will have their fraternity formal in the gym on December 11. They'll have sponsors with pictures and all that sort of .thing. Which we will save until next week to write about as the 11th, according to the calculations of the 'combined Cock staff, should fall about next Friday. Then too, the Kappa Sig's are knock ing heads together over plans for their Funder's Day relebration. On D~" cember 14 they are staging a banquet, which is a funny sort of banquet (meaning that it should prove to be fun), as the thing will be run on the order of a cabaret. They'll eat a while, dance a whiie, toast a wAhile, then Ca a while again, in the ballroom of the Columbia: The third number of this tremen dous trumvirate will be the Christmas German on the -18th. (The nice thing about the big blows is that they an nounce 'em far enough ahead that they're good for two, or even thrcc, columns). That is, the general opinion seems to be that it's the 18th is the (lay. But more definite news next week-still another gag which en deavors to get people (or a person) to read about the satels, though why they should, we dunno. This is the German club's Christ mas function (many students use the Germans to determine the season of the year) and just now might be a good time to make amends for never having mentioned how good that fall German was. Indeed, it was so good that President McKissick of the Uni versity of South Carolina wrote Pres idenit Willis Cantey of the German club a long letter informing President Cantey that theirs was just about the inicest (lance the Colonel has seen in all his long career. Which is, after all, qtuite something to brag about. Tea for Two Not least among the week's formal functions was a tea which was given by tenement two last Tuesday evening after their discussion group led by Professor William Woods, was over. Messrs. Yarborough, Liles, Lewis, Gore, Roberts, and Bunch, were headline entertainers with nmuch sing ing of novelty songs. Tea-Russiani tea-was served by Rhodes and Green, while Weldon and Allen passed dainty tasty, miinty mints. Beauty and the Coach Amelia DesChamps made a beautiftul bridIe, we're told, wheni she became Mrs. Ted Petoskey last Monday even ing. Not that she hasn't alwvays been good looking-it seems that this bridal University Pla Rehearse I Ischind barred doors the University Players have begun rehearsals for the second( of their presentations this sea son, a special double, two-in-one, fea ture which will include a horror drama in three acts, "The House Of Pain," and a one act comedy "Until." Shrouded in secrecy is the plot and produtction of the "1House of Pain." It will be directed by Professors Maurice Stephan and William Woods, who translated the play from the original French especially for the Players. The second plan is a drawing-room skit. To star in the "House of" Pain" the directors have chosen William (Wea sel) Carpenter, who will interpret the role of the most villainous of villains. Mr. W. W. Carpenter will be support lites LE HIGGINS flow is something extra. The coach's choice certainly had )igskin wedding, what with thre< :oaches besides the groom (but Pe oskey was undoubtedly head coact his shot), and the city's two cracl' ;ports scribes there.

Coming Out Our assistant dean of women, Alic l3enet, was honored by her parents las Wednesday evening with a big affai in the Columbia Hotel, which includei ballroom, crystal room, orchestra, an all the frills. Alice, a Sweet Bria graduate, is among those who will b present at Columbia's Assembly thi evening. The Assembly's guest list, incidental ly runs high with Carolina student this year. Lib Manning, Libba Mc Donald, Helen Townsend, Lib Buncl Rosa Wilder, Louise McDonald Thomasine Grayson, Biddie FitzSim ons, Doris Johnson, and Frances Mc Leod will all be there, frocked up i white, as will many of our lads, wit1 white ties and tails. It seems tha some of the gals are debutantes an, some are not, a matter nf mere tect nicality, which we won't go into. Trotters Thanksgiving brought the homewar flight of the student body. But ther were those exceptional travellers, wh did some trotting elsewhere. Doroth Platt; Lelia Mayes, and Jane Presto took the Army-Navy games in the stride... .the Brooker twins visite Hamlet, N.

Can you "Yes, madam," and n "Unquestionably, sir," with dignity? h Can you pull a poker face and bow a butter bow? If you can, the University Players want you for "The House of Pain." As the G-man wants his fugitive, a a mother wants her wandering boy, as d the mess hall students want more des e serts, the Players want you. 0 If, on the other hand, you've had y n no experience, but know you have the ,r "butle" instincts, the Players, being d ever ready to encourage the ambitious, h are willing to give you your BIG d CHANCE. y For further information see Pro a fessor Stephan. n -U. ,. ,. * JOURNALISM DEAN r TELLS OF INCIDENT t Professor S.

As alternates, Richard Foster and Charles Simons were chosen. The Blue Key national convention is probably one of the largest and most outstanding fraternal conclaves ever held in America. South Carolina's chapter has long been outstanding on the campus, as well as in national hon orary groups, and it is assumed that it will have a paramount position at the convention. The local chapter took up many ser vices which they contemplated spon soring in the ensuing year. Commit tees were appointed to investigate the feasibility of carrying on this work, which was in all instances of rather vital importance to members of the student body. President Gus Pearlman congratu lated the chapter on keeping ever pres ent on its mind that it was a service, as well as an honorary group, and stated, "that the fruits of its labor cer tainly spoke for its undying effort to do something material as well as moral on the campus."
