This week a photo of Miss
Mary Daly, with pictures of
winners of the other co-ed
schools of the state, were sent
to New York where they will
be published in Movie and
Radio Guide to be voted upon
by the readers of this maga
zine to decide the 12 most beau
tiful college girls of America.
These pictures will appear in
the May 2, 10 and 17 issues of
the magazine.
Miss Daly was selected by a

University Pla
Rehersals For A
Presentation Of Johnny
Of Forty People; Play
A cast. of over forty persons i
of "Johnny Johnson." the play
Players the last part of this ic
now been cast, and daily .rehear
Hall.
The play is a particularly difficult4
one to produce, because it covers a
wide range of territory and repre
sents a period of over twenty years.
In the opening scene "Johnny,"
played by Dick Anderson, is a youth
in a small Carolina town. He is a
peace-loving man, and doesn't un
derstand the World War, the first
World War, which is going on in
Europe.
But "Johnny" is drawn into the
war, and in the second act we find
him at the front. Although far from
a coward, he still fails to see why
his friends and the Germans are
killing one another. Finally we see
the aftermath of the war, tweniy
years later, as the world begins a
second world war.
Choruses of men's and women's
voices provide the background for
Johnny, his girl Minnie Belle
(played by Mary Crow) and the
other leading characters. The
choruses are found first in Johnny's
home town, at a celebration of the
anniversary of the founding of the
town; later they appear on the far
away battlefields of France.

Dixie Makes

Southern Girl Makes
Good In Three Easy
Lessons: Here's How
Dixie Dunbar, diminutive star of
stage and screen who is currently
appearing with her troupe "The
Rhythmaires" at the Columbia
Township Auditorium, advises Car
olina students who are interested in
a career behind the footlights that
the best road to Hollywood begins
on Broadway.
"I got my first break as a dancer
on Broadway", smiled the petite
Miss Dunbar. It's hard tn get a
break in Hollywood and that is
where most talented youngsters
make their mistake. The New York
stage is the source of most of the
present day movie discoveries."
When asked the inevitable ques
tion of how she was impressed by
the City of Columbia, her face
lighted up with genuine enthusiasm.
"I think it's very nice, but the thing
that I like best of all about it is
this wonderful weather. I can't bear
the thought of leaving it to go
North this Thursday."
Miss Dunbar seemed really in
terested when we told het of the
active dramatic group that we have
at the UTniversiy and! especially so
when she found that the next pro
duction is to be Johnny Johnston.
"I think Johnny Johnston is one
of the best plays that I have seen
on Broadway this year", she added.
"The training that one receives in
college dIramlatics should be very
v'aluable to anyone aspiring to a
career on the stage," she said.

"To Doctor Wauchope, they
further owe much of their love they
have for the true, the beautiful and
the good", Dean Bradley continued.
The portrait, an oil painting, by
Mrs. E. T. Ridgeway of Columbia,
was hung in the library, where the
presentation exercises took place.

institution.
"With deep gratitude, the Uni.

ordinary fidelity and distinction for
more than four decades, accepts this
fitting memorial of Doctor Wau

officially receiving the portrait.
Dr. Wauchope has been actively
engaged in teaching for 56 years
and it is estimated that he has
taught more than 8,000 students and
delivered more than 30,000 addresses
in his various educational activities.
"The many expressions of friend

recreprocated by me with thoughts
too deep for words," Doctor Wau

appreciation. "They will always
spell happiness for me throughout
my life."
Doctor Wauchope served as dean
of the university's graduate school
from 1906 through 1922, during
which time he was chairman of the
