Constitution Is Being Revised Student Council has been consid ering several revisions and changes In the student-body Constitution at their last two meetings. Some of the changes under consideration are the elimination of the Student-Faculty committee and the Social Cabinet. Clarification and a few slight changes in the honor cod are also being considered. Also under discussion is: Article 4, Section 6, which states: No student, while enrolled at the University shall be allowed to hold more than one of the following offices: president, first vice-president, second vice president, and secretary-treas urer of the student body, and president of the junior and senior classes; nor shall any stu dent hold any of the above of fices while serving in any of the following capacities: editor and business manager of the Garnet and Black and editor and busienss manager of the Gamecock. There is a question as to whether a person may hold only one of the above listed offices or onli'one at any one time. For example, if a person held the office of junior class president, would he be eligible to be senior class president the follow lng year? The Student Council is attempting to complete these changes in time to have the constitution ratified by the student-body this semester.

"You Can't T ai Will Be Given "You Can't Take It With You," a three act play, and one of Broad way's funniest and most hilarious laugh hits by Kaufman and iart, will he presented by the University Players, Wedniesday, Sept emlir 12 at 8 p/m. in rayton llail. The play is the story of a fam ily comp losed of such a hodlge-podge of churacters and personalities as could only be found in America. The story evolves about a family nmem her of the fairer sex and her love life with a millionaire's son. The family tries to convert the million aire to their way of life--that is complete relaxation and following one's suppressed hobbies. The hob bies of the different members break into ballet, printing--anything even down to seditious remarks about over-throwing the govern ment, concocting firework cocktails, etc. The love affair gets into a snarl and is untied by fate and the family to a background of F. B. L. men, detectives, wild ballets, Czar 1st speeches. and wildly exploding The World This Week By Virginia Raysor Surrender Surrendered Japan, stripped of all conquests and arms, resumes the size it was when Commodore Perry first opened it to western civilization 92 years ago. The sur render was signed on the battle ship Missouri at 8:18 e.w.t., Sept. 2. Thirty minutes later, a 42-ship con voy steamed into Tokyo bay and began discharging troops. General MacArthur, with General Wainwright, last commander of Corregidor and Gen. Sir Arthur Percival, of Singapore, at his side, signed the Japanese surrender pa pers. Every top-ranking general and admiral In the Pacific was present. The Japanese wore mourn ing clothes. The Jap cabinet has decided tc hold a general election January 2& 31 toward framing a democratic government. All- experts scoff al such efforts as "political jujitsu' to win a short occupation. The "Butcher of Bataan," Gen Yamashita who boasted he would dictate the peace terms in the White Houce, surrendered in the Philippines last week. A strong British task force will take over control of Hong Kong soon. Pearl Harbor Revelation of the secrets behind Pearl Harbor struck criticism at Cordell Hull, General Marshall, Ad miral Starke, General Gerow, but President Truman and Stimson quack to come to their defense. There was no criticism of the late President Roosevelt, who predicted on Nov. 25, 1941, that the Japanese might strike as early as Dec. 1. The President says that all Amer icans, by their unwillingness to pre pare for war, were as blameworthy for Pearl Harbor as any other in dividual. Peace Congress convened Wednesday and found a task of peace which the President has called "the greatest task we have ever been faced with." Although called "unworkable" by businessmen, Secretary of Com merce Wallace has endorsed with out qualification full employment legislation. It Is, a "nust" to the Prcsident. The government is going all-out to get private plants back to peace time production by giving them priority over fedaral-owned plants. Draft Selective service will continue for several months, and it will be necessary to remain drafting 18 and 19 year olds. There are two reas ons for this: (1) to guarantee the replacement of veteran fighting men, and (2) to insure an ade quate number of occupation troops. The President has suggested a two year limit for these new inductees.

Theu cast seems well chosen and if the comedy of this play is as well handled as the drama of "The Willow and I" it should be' good. Joe l)rennn plays the r'ole of grandlpa who quit work years ago because he couldn't stand doing the same thing all of the time-and incidentally, he plays hide-and seek with an F. B. I. man over the little matter of income tax. Carmel Jenkins place Penny--who writes plays because someone accidentally left a typewriter at the house; she never finishes a play but she always has about five or .six brewing at all times-she also paints-a very busy person indeed. Paul, Penny's husband, is played .by Jim Martin. He loves to mix fireworks and some times with violent results. There is also 'a Czarist Russian, Kalinkov, played by Jerry Partain, who hates Stalin and is quite willing to say so; Essie, played by Iris Burbage who loves the ballet; Ed, played by 'Knobby Walsh, who dranned't info Clowns, Highlighi Funds tc II-X Unv .st . rs Noma M.

Tony Kirby--one of the few sane charac'ter's in the play and the male endl of the love affair-~ is played by Ed Moorer. Alice, p)layedl by Elton Morris, is the other end of the love affair and slowly gets grey hairs while her family almost ruin her love life. Tony's millionaire par ents, Mr. Kirby (by Banks Scar borough) a bustling Wall Street big shot, and Mrs. Kirby, a (ophis ticated lady who makes many revela tions about her life in a game, add to the hilarity. Also doing their part in the confusion are: a colored maid, Rheba, played by Betty Lewis, her boy friend, Donald, play ed by Gray Burkhart, and a self named actress and alcohlic, Gay, played by Muriel Black. The moood, the ideas, and the hilarity of this production should make it enjoyable for everyone. The players are doing a lot of work and expect a big crowd--so turn out and be prepared for anything.

Leaving Carolina. his interest did not lessen in the institution, as he has been active in the Alumni Asso ciation, as councilor-at-large and vice president, ie is a prominent insurance executive of the Caro linas. With reference to his responsibili ties as the head of "Carolina's strong right arm," the new alumni presi dent expressed appreciation of the confidence his fellow-alumni had shown in him by elevating him to the presidency of their association. "I brIng to my now job a sincere desire to be of service to our Uni versity," he said. Recalling his years spent on the campus, Mr. Jeter says, "It Is hard to say off-hand just what experience I remember best about my stay at the University. I guess altogether, it must be the filendtship)s I madie here that have lived through all these years." In casually speaking of his Caro lina friendships, Mr'. Jeter touched upon one of the prime values of the Alumni Association as exhibited through the years of war that are just over. Visiting the headquarters office of the organization whose presidency he has just assumed, Mr. Jeter was amazed at the activIties that the war has inspired there. Some 1700 active members of the association, with, dues paid, form the nucleus that has sent more than 11.000 fort nightly copies of The Gamecock and alumni newsletter to the sons pnd daughters of Carolina who now are scattered to the four cor ners of the earth.

Shows, R . . aising Chapel Melton Field Scene of Fete The Co-Ed circus is coming to town September 14 at Melton Field. Sponsored by the Co-Ed Associa tion in order to raise money to redecorate the Chapel, the circus will be the event at which Mr. Carolina will be announced. Con testing for this title are Buddy Riggs, "Tiger" Adams, and George Farris. The circus will feature every thing one could expect to enjoy at a circus. Co-Eds have been busy for weeks painting booths, strug gling with can-can constumes, laboring over posters, and inter viewing prominent Columbia towns people. There will be an hour show in the big main tent, guaranteed by the Co-Ed's to bring laughs from all knowledge-weary people. Many oi the faculty will make their debut as clowns. Joe Reintjes has been tutoring guys and gals who are putting on the tumbling act. Can-can girls will also be on hand to entertain the masses of fun-loving people. Prom inent Columbia people have been asked to serve as ring masters, and to participate in other ways. RO's will take turns sticking their heads through a canvas in one of the side shows so that students can try their ability at throwing base balls at them. From the publicity being given the affair, it promises to be one of the biggest things to hit Caro lina. The newspapers are cooperat ing. Associated Press has already snatched the picture of the Beauty Contest, and it will appear all over the country. Down-town stores have promised windowspace which will be decorated with a circus theme. Radio stations are helping as well advertising at Fort Jackson, the Air Base, the USO's and bulletin boards on our own campus. Waddell Succeeds Schayer as USC Head Physician Dr. H. G.
