3AV l Cast Will C uthor Christop T h. Americans", new play I Chritophersen and produced b, on tl~boards in Drayton Hall The play has a double cast ar script. Each cast will present first night and another the seco Both plays, however, have the same locale and somewhat similar plots. They concern a tense situation on an island off the American coast where the outcome of a war may be at stake. In a pretentious laboratory on the island, a skilled scientist, Henry Clark (Bill Tennant and Basil Zaharides) is perfecting a powerful defense weapon. With him are his wife, Caroline (Jane Loyal and Caroline Legare), his mother Grace Clark (Laura Lee Green and Mary Crow), his son Rob ert (Albert Eggerton and Vassar Es linger) and Robert's fiancee Jane (Irl Marjorie Jones and Murrell Smith). Because of his invention's impor tance to defense, Clark and his labo ratory castle are closely guarded by the United States army represented by the sentry (Dick Anderson) and Captain Rivers (Beverley Meade and C. Aubrey Gasque). On to the scene come David Adam, an old friend of Henry (Carl Atkins and Frank Bell) and his beautiful companion Fido (Edith Gunter and Mary Crow), who begin a pleasant week-end by trying to bribe the but ler, Tompkins (Bill Bray and Joseph Efron). David continues his nefarious scheming, scene following scene at a rapid pace until the final startling de nouncement. The play is packed with thrills and laughs. The setting, a new functional set, designed and painted by Carl Atkins, portrays one cdrner of the massive stone castle with its sea wall and stone flagged courtyard. Against this background will play the lighting ef fects by electrician Sydney Connor. These promise to be more effective becatise of extensive additions to the Drayton Hall lighting system during the summer season. Prompters for the two performanc es are: Emily Spigner and Margaret Smith. Bob Quinn will be stage manager of .both plays. Quinn has had wide ex perience in this work as stage man ager of -two previous productions, "Johnny Johnson" and "Perpetual Emotion". Stagehands for the per formance are: Oby Lyles, Shirley Sumner, Carol Humbert, Mary Boy kin and Ray Joyner. 1414 MAIN STREET Opposite Palmetto Theatre Liberty Loan & Luggage Co.

Honor Council Has New Jurisdiction Theft And Forgery Now, Acted Upon By Council The Honor Council was given per mission at a meeting of the Univer sity of South Carolina faculty last week to act on cases involving steal ing and forging of checks, it was learned from Dan Gibbes, president of the council. Such cases have formerly been han dled by the discipline committee, but permission was granted the Honor Council to act for the year 1941-42 only. This is due to the fluctuation be tween committees, Gibbes explained, and it was felt that one year was as long as such jurisdiction should be given to one non-static organization. The number of signers of the honor code this year will be about 350 stu dents, according to Gibbes, when the list of signers who will hold the pledge over from last year has been cleared up. ODK Fraternity Elects New Men Wednesday Omicron Delta Kappa, honorary leadership fraternity of the Univer sity of South Carolina, announces that election of new members will be held Wednesday, October 15.

None of the girls had seen the door of the sorority room open, and the voice startled them with its suddenness and with its request. Everybody sat and gaped. A small Negro boy, black as midnight, stood his ground in the middle of the Junior Y meeting and repeated his re quest. He carried a delapidated wicker basket almost as large as he was, which contained numerous brown paper bags full of parched peanuts. He grasped the basket with all his tiny strength, as if he feared the Y members might overpower him and take his "parch' peanuts." His huge eyes, with their whites so prominent because he was so black, seemed to be almost popping from his head. The small boy's mouth with its pro truding lips hung widely open. His clothes, non-de-script, had evidently been passed down from an older brother, or brothers. "No, sonny, we don't care for any peanuts today," volunteered one of the girls apologetically. The little boy grasped his basket with a firmer grip, turned on his tiny black heel and went out of the room, push ing mightily to open the heavy door. Dejection showed itself in every line of his figure, but he, like the brave little man that he was, went on his way, plying his trade in the other sorority rooms, and on the ter race of Sims college.

H. Nixon, manager of the Columbia office of the Social Security Board. Many University students are taking part-time jobs in restaurants, stores, soda fountains, filling sta tions, offices, and other establish ments covered by the Social Security Act. Each student entering such employment covered by the law must have a Social Security Ac count number card, Mr. Nixon said. "The card may be obtained, with out cost, in five minutes by calling at my office at 1230 Sumter Street between 8:30 a. m. and 4:30 p. in., Mondays through Fridays, and on Saturdays between 8:30 a. m. and 1 p. m. The age of the worker does not matter. The important fact that the student is working in a place where the employer is re quired to report his wages to the Government determines the need of a Social Security number," he de 'clared. Mr. Nixon added that any student who has had a card, but has lost it, should visit his office and arrange to have a new card issued bearing the original number.
