"DarkTower" Pleases
Large Audiences
At Two Performances
McCutchen, Posey And
Co. Star In Players
First 1940 Production
A large audience of over three
hundred persons were present to view
the opening performance of "Dark
Tower", second University Players'
production of the season, at Drayton
IHall, Tuesday evening. The play was
also given to another large house
on Wednesday, for the second and
finl showing of the play.
'he play was of a more serious
type of drama than "Captain Apple
jack", which the Players presenited
last December, and was a much more
difficult piece to produce. "There
are subtleties of character here," said
Professor M. . Christophersen, di
rector of the Players, "which would
defy the best actors of Ilollywood
or Broadway. I think the cast dlid
reinarkably well in these difficult
roles ;and I only hope that our fu

Jacqueline McCutcheon was 'the
outstianding actress of the play. In a
particularly difficult role, she was re
(tured to change from a charming
atnd brilliant B3roadwvay star into a
wOeak, characterless creature, the vic
titn of the hypnotic powers of the
viliain in the story. She handled the
tranosformation very well.
T[his is Miss McCutcheon's second
alpearance with the Players. Two
years ago she appearedl in "Bill of

Lobby-Sitters Desert
As Brush-Slingers
Invade Their Lands
WAR BULLETIN-T ee -
phone Exchange (Delayed)-The
off-and-on Inhabitants of the Stu
dent Union lobby grimly and re
luctantly gave way to an invad
ing crew of twelve brush
equipped painters last week.
Retreating slowly with a bat
tery of magazines and books,
the defenders of the old decora
tion make a gallant last stand in
the west corner of the room.
No-man's-land (the diminishing
territory between the squatters
and the oncoming painters) rap
idly became a scene of wild con
fusion. The invading horde es
tablished an advanced outpost
with buckets of divers colored
paints. -
Early in the afternoon, while
the painters were having an armi
stice lunch, a daring volunteer of
the party of the first part slipped
through the bucket blockade and
settled himself with a periodical
on the South side of the Stuffed
Chair Line.
The painters returned from
their midday repast with a sup
ply of propaganda. Several signs
bearing the words "Wet Paint"
were stuck at vulnerable points
about the now vari-colored lobby.
The telephone exchange an
nounced its neutrality with a
"NO VISITORS" signs at the
front.
Seeing that he was outnum
bered, and discovering that his
magazine was three months old,

his was a lost cause. Anyway, if

Mid-Terms Probably
Will Be Continued For
Some: Considered Legal
Spring holidays begin Fri
day, March 22, at 8 a. mn. and
classes will be resumed Thurs
day, March 28, at 8 a. m., it was
announced this week by John
A. Chase. Jr.. dean of adminis
tration.
When the classes again re
sume, some professors may
have mid-semester exams to
give their students. This will
be perfectly legal and in accor
dance with the announcement
that the mid-semester grades
must be in not later than March
30th.
Concensus of opinion on the
campus seemed to indicate that
there would be no kick against
this latest ruling of the admin
istration office. One dissenting
vote marred the otherwise
unanimous acclamation of the
coming of the spring holidays.
The dissenting voice was that
of freshman Marjory Hogan.
In a recent discussion of the
coming holidays Marjory, or
Marjory. as she is known to her
intimate friends, who is a mem
ber of some society or other
on the campus, stated that she
was going to see that a resolu
tion was introduced and passed
at an early date to change the
time of the holidays beginning.
General surprise was ex
pressed by the members of the
relatively large group gathered
around. When pressed for
more enlightenment on the sub
ject, Marjory stated that the
time of the holidays beginning
was all wrong.
"Why should we have to get
up at eight o'clock in the morn
ing for the holidays to begin?'
She questioned. "Couldn't the
administration have been a little
more considerate and set the
time at-say ten o'clock?"

Student Body Passes
Resolution Asking For
Waring Pep Song
Noted Arranger Will
Write Song For USC
If Students Interested
A resolution to request Fred
Waring's song arranger to write a
"Fight Song" for the University
was passed by the Student Body
at a meeting held in the Chapel
Monday afternoon at one o'clock.
The action was taken following
passage of a resolution to the same
effect passed by the Student Couui
cil in behalf of the Student Body
several weeks ago. Prolessor
Frank Wardlaw, of the School of
Journalism, originated the move by
writing to Mr. \Varing and asking
him if lie might be willing to get
his arranger to write the song.
Alma Nfaters and Pep Songs
have been written by the arranger
for various colleges all over the
country. The songs are played for
the first time on \Varing's program,
and are given to the schools abso
lutely free of charge.
Mr. \Varing's answer to Professor
Wardlaw was that if the students
of the University showed that they
wanted the song written. and dis
played enough interest in it. lie
would be glad to see that it was
written.
Prof. Hugh Williamson of the
Music Faculty expressed hope that
it could be arranged for the song to
be composed. Said he, "I think it
would be very nice. Carolina needs
something of this kind."
