Pandemonium reigned supreme when the fire wagon, with wailing siren, pulled up in front of the Student Union. Several boys ran out in the icy weather without pants, shoes, or shirts; while others started packing in the dark. Ice Everywhere Most of the students had retired when lights was finally restored to Carolina, but when morning came the campus was in a blaze of glory. Old Man Winter had laid a heavy, but beautiful, hand on the trees and shrubs. The splendor of the campus rivaled the magnificence of the famed Crys tal Palace. The ice covered trees re sembled huge candalabras, and the laden shrubs, kneeling to the Oll Man, were as blazing footlights. Many photo fiends ran about duly recording the lovely scenes for future reference. The ice began melting early in the afternoon, and by nightfall most of the trees were stripped of their beauty. The campus returned to the drabness of Winter. -Letters (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3) leave them there!

Need for this building has long existed. These departments no longer have adequate classroom and laboratory space for their students. Segregation of these departments would add greatly to the efficiency of their instruction. For household equipment an in crease of $15,000 is asked so that new furniture may be provided for the old dormitories. No new furniture for I them has been bought in 15 years, although it is badly needed. If, as appears probable, the University will 4 soon be compelled to charge higher rentals in order to increase its revenue from fees, new furniture would do much to justify such increase. To Add To Faculty Additions to the faculty, and money to care for it is asked. These additions to staff are necessary for the proper instruction of our students. In the 21 years since 1918 our student enroll ment has increased 531 per cent, while the increase in the teaching staff has been 327 per cent. Figures prepared by F. F. Wel bourne, Treasurer of the University, disclose that in the 22-year period from 1918 to 1940: (a) The enrollment of the Univer sity will increase from 386 to 2,050; (b) The per capita cost on State appropriations will decrease f rom $275.39 to $146.10; (c) The fees applicable to State appropriations will increase from $11,708 to $270,600; (d) The per capita cost on fees will increase from $30.33 to $132; (e) The percentage of revenue from the State will decrease from 90 to 53 per cent; (f) The percentage of revenue from fees will increase from 10 to 47 per cent. --Library (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) stone. They included a number of University and Masonic documents. Glee Club Sings The invocation was pronounced by the Rev. John 1. Graves, Darlington, grand chaplain. Several Masonic hymns were sung by the University Glee club, under direction of Hugh Williamson. The exercises took place at the north end of the incomplete struc ture, Masons and other dignitaries sitting on the first floor of the build ing and the general public standing outside.

"Regarding the cast," said Profes or Christophersen, "I am very well atisfied with it. With a little prac ice I am sure that all the members vill turn in excellent performances." Cast Selected Miss Crow plays the part of Hat ic, a "plump, inquisitive maid;" Miss ,-orbes has the role of Martha Ten )le, a sophisticated aunt. Miss Mc utcheon is cast as Jessica Wells, sen ;ational Broadway actress, and Miss Loyal as a beautiful-but-dumb chorus 4irl. "Patsy Dowling" is played by Uiss Green. Eggerton is a great actor, or rather, made $332,792 available for its con ;truction. To Have Six Columns Situated across Bull street at the head of the old campus, the library will have six massive columns at its front and rear and four at each end. It will be finished in limestone of varying shades. Inside, it is expected to be one of the best equipped col legiate structures in the South. The grand lodge assembled at Drayton Hall prior to the laying of the cornerstone and marched to the library site in formal procession, di rected by Grand Marshall Wilbur Wertz. The procession was led by the University band. A number of dignitaries, including members of the University board of trustees and the general assembly, were present. Gov. Burnet R. May bank, president of the board, sat be hind the speaker's stand with Presi dent McKissick. Doctor Gaines, widely-known au thor, educator, and orator was intro duced by President McKissick as "a worthy successor to Robert E. Lee in :he presidency of Washington and Lee University." Doctor Gaines declared that he was proud to participate in the laying of the cornerstone, both as a native South Carolinian and as an educator. He paid high tribute to the University and to President McKissick, whom he described as a "a noble spirit, a splen did educator."

May I, therefore, take the liberty of suggesting that you direct your efforts toward overcoming this de ficiency as soon as possible? May 1 particularly recommend that you con tact the habit of consulting a diction ary whenever you are in the least doubt as to the proper spelling of a word? I am quite sure that any attention you devote toward correcting this has the part of a great actor, Damon Wells. Posey is cast as "Ben Weston," Walker as "Berry Jones," Quinn as "Stanley Vance," Bill Dwarkin as "William Curtis," and David Alter man as a bellboy. Filling the all-important position of Stage Manager for this play is Caro lyn Hays. Practically all the members of the Players' Club are taking part in some phase of the technical work without which the play would be im possible. Rehearsals have already begun, and the play is beginning to take shape, according to a statement of Mr. Christophersen. Unfortunately, they will have to be discontinued during exams. But the actors will be back at it immediately after exams are over, and there is every reason to believe that the first performance will be pre sented on schedule time. Columbia Offioe Supply Co.
