UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROLINA Volume XXXIX, No. 29 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, SEPTEMBER 21. 1945 45( ]For Campus Legior For Lieutenant The newly chartered American Legion Post that Is composed of World War 11 veterans now attend , ing the University will bear the name of "The ,4ohn W. Crews, Jr., Chapter." This name was decided upon at a recent meeting of this group and was determined not by where, when and what but, merely by having been the first Carolina student killed in this war. While a student at Carolina Lt. Crews was very active in both sports and campus publications. He was outstanding in football, being the co-captain of the 1939 squad, and took part in the track meets that were held by Carolina. le was a member of the staff of the Caro * linian and a member of two honor fraternities-Kappa Sigma Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa-and also a member of Sigma Nu and the Block "C" Club. Lt. Crdws was not killed in ac tion or overseas but, he was the one that lead the list of Carolina students into the ranks of the su preme sacrifice. His death came about when the plane of which he was pilot-instructor crashed at Ran doipit Field, Texas. "The John W. Crews Chapter" now has a total of twenty-five members, eleven having joined be fore the name was decided upon and thirteen newly chartered mem bers. These new members are El liott McCants, Morris Evans, Dolo res Babin, George McDonald, Don Dickerson, Ed Moorer, Paul Smith, Vance Cummings, Claude McMillan, Charlie James, Wardie "Rock" Al ford, Bob Sideman and Glenn Roddy. When the charter is received 1here will be a formal ceremony that will officially inaugurate the Carolina Legion Post and will set It off in the direction of progress and success for both the veterans and the University-this being one of its prime intentions. University Pla A Comedy Of ' By "ERB BEITEL Voodooism with all of its mys tory will invade the University on Wednesday, September 26, at 8:00 p.m., when 'he University Players wvill present Emperor Jones at Dray ton Hall under the dlirect ion of Gray Blurkhart. Emperor . ones is an escaped ne gro murderer from the United States who after killing his chain gang guard comes to a small island in the West Indies. The negro, a former Pullman porter, enters the negro soc'ety of the tiny island and by using his intelligence andl cun ning rises to be emperor of the is land. The play "eals almost entire ly with the mental c'ollapse of the e emperor as lhe tries to flee from the ignorant subjects that he has robbed and usurped from his throne. Recurring visions of his past sins combine with the fearful aurora of superstition to unfold the story against a background more weird and oppressive than anything ever effected on the stage before. ID. M. Robinson plays the part of Emperor Jones. Goober Jennings Is cast as an unscrupulous, rum and dtamp rotted, English, trader. Anne Stephan, Hoyt Crider, "Chuck" Fifleld and others provide the host of evil spirits, ghosts and warriors In the story. Tb- payel.oloeic,.l theme and the weir'd back ground woven in an air of mystery make a uniqlue pat tern. The play is unusual re'quiring good -ucenery good acting, and good directing that should make It highly interestIng and well woarth maeng, ffarin Dist i Post Named John Crews In Memoriam LT.
