"One Mad N Attention O Christophersen Turns T( Presentation Of Two Onc With the two one-act plays suc cessfully completed, Prof. Christo phersen has turned his full atten tion to putting the finishing touches on "One Mad Night," first three act play since last fall. The play probably will be produced within the next month. This thriller bears a certain re semblance to last season's success, "Captain Applejack," not in plot or dialogue, but in theme. It has the same undertones of mystery and overtones of humor. "One Mad Night" concerns the adventures of a young playwright, Don Carter, in the mysterious house he inherited. He arrives at the house with the purpose of finishing the third act of his play in com parative seclusion only to discover that it has become a haven for all sorts of strange people. Becoming interested in one of these, a young girl, he decides to stay. From that moment on Don (played by Bob Quinn) races through a series of adventures, aided by his Chinese houseboy, Wing (Laura Lee Green). Sundry Schemes Main object of Don's planning is to circumvent the sundry schemes of Bunn and Burke (Albert Egger ton and Arthur Wilder) with re gard to the heroine Lucille (Mary Crow). The situation is further complicated by the abrupt appear ance of Don's fiancee (Jane Loyal) and her mother (Dot Sligh). Strange characters and glowing figures flitting here and there give the set an atmosphere of strange ness and mystery. To enhance the effect of the scene, many tricks of lighting and make-up will be em ployed. 1530 Main Street WE CARRY A COMPLETE STOCK OF BHAEFFER'S - PARKER'S WATERMAN'S FOUNTAIN PENS ALSO A GOOD CHEAP PEN FOR 1; LEATHER BRIEF CASES $2.50 TO S5: LEATHER NOTE BOOKS 65c TO $3.

Bill Hamlet, Anderson, jun ior in Carolina's law school, pro posed a constitutional convention referendum on the floor of the House of Representatives Wednes day. Hamlet declares the entire gov ernmental structure of South Car olina should be rebuilt, providing for biennial sessions of the legis lature; giving more power to the governor by consolidating boards and commissions under his direct control; straightening up the rev enue situation and stopping up monetary leaks in the present set up. Dr. George Sherrill, professor of political science, said Wednesday that a constitutional convention might erase many evils in South Carolina's government, but that "should a certain faction in this state get control of the conven tion, we will be in an even worse condition." Sherrill expressed the opinion that the "time is not yet ripe for a constitutional convention." "We should wait a few years," lie said, "until a new set of men get more experience in government. After all we probably will have to operate under a new constitution for a long time. So we don't want to be hasty about framing it." W A N FIVE GOOD COLLEGE SATURDAYS.

Meanwhile, the new walks around the library were being laid in corners to fit the plans of the architect. CAROLINA ENGRAVING CO. COLUJM111A.S.C.

Piece de resistance at the feast was a large box of candy sent by Mrs. William C. Abel, state presi dent of Carolina alumnae. Along with the gift came a note express ing Mrs. Abel's sincere thanks for the many ways in which the alumni office had aided her in the past. Momentarily doubtful of their ability to cope with he situation alone, Mr. Lewis and his co-work ers called in workers from the neighboring offices. When these reinforcements arrived, the gusta tory attack was made. According to all available reports, the candy made a gallant stand, but was outnumbered and overpow ered from the first. Members of the alumni office force who shared the party with Lewis were Bill Simpson, Miss Marjorie Foster, Jay Hammett, Fitzgerald Taylor, Robert Keiffer, Thomas Dendy, G. W.
