Models walked up and down the aisles of the plane showing how the air-minded woman can carry the minimum of luggage on her trip and still have the right costume of traveling, breakfast in New York, lunch in Atlanta, or an evening in Havana. Most of this can be successfully accomplished by a dashing use of accessories-bags, hats, belts, and jewelry. Other guests included the mayor of Columbia, the president of the student body of Columbia College, the president of the Junior League, president of the Altruso Garden Club. Mr. Lawrence, manager of Davisons here, Doris Babin, stu dent at the University, and a rep resentative of Davison's adver tising department were extremely gracious to us.

Christopher son looked thoughtfully from be hind a bridge hand and announced, "The Players will start off the semester with "Brighten the Cor ner!" These unexpected words created such a hubbub, as members of Uni versity Players passed the news along, that Prof's card game was broken up (he was winning, too)! Not only the players, but you, too, have cause for excitement. "Brighten the Corner," presented last summer, is the most hilarious play the group has ever done. There were two performances, and each played to capacity audiences. The plot, if you dare call it such, concerns a somewhat absent minded bachelor who spends his life inventing and going to school. The world is full of so many inter esting things that he never finds time to learn everything he wants to learn. (Where do playwrights dig up such characters?) He is much interested in his young nep hew and the nephew's young wife (platonically?), and he drops in on the couple on his way south to see bow they are getting along. Hav ing a good deal of money (they in variably do), he wants to make the young people comfortable, but is especially interested in provid ing them with an added incentive to raise a family. He is also eager to provide bonuses for children who will come later on. When he first comes to the young people's apartment, he mis takes a charming bride, friend of the family, as his nephew's wife. (Whew!) For sufficient reasons he cannot be set straight at first, and the truth is concealed. In or der not 'to disappoint Uncle, all the young people involved must play out the comedy until almost the very end. The play will be presented on Thursday, September 26, at 8:30, at Drayton Hall Theater. It is free to University students. Griffin Campbell, Becky Wiley, Helene Stein, Jim Simmons, Alate Blume, and Ramon Schwarz are featured in the cast. anlons...

Sto.e" Sept 23 Thri Oct 10 Named As Rush Period On University Campus The official fraternity rush week at the University of South Caro lina began on Monday, September 28, and will extend to 12 o'clock midnight Saturday, October 10, ac cording to the rules drawn up by the fraternity presidents in a meet ing at Flinn Hall last Monday, September 16. The group of fraternity presi dents adopted a motion made by Charles Wickenberg that they be come an authorized body to for mulate the rushing rules, and that each fraternity on the campus will be entitled to one vote. The fol lowing rules regarding the rushing procedure and pledging for the 1946 Fall Term were passed upon at this meeting: No parties will be permitted to be held until Monday, September 23. Bids of each fraternity must be submitted to the Director of Student Activities by one o'clock Thursday, October 10. Notices will then be sent to the persons in vited to membership in the various fraternities by the Director of Stu dent Activities with a notice to report to Drayton Hall at five o'clock Monday, October 14, for the purpose of making their choice of the fraternity they wish to join, and the period from 12 o'clock midnight October 12 to five o'clock Monday, October 14 will be a silent period, during which time there can be no rushing of any kind. All male students at the Uni versity are eligible to be rushed by any fraternity and bids can be extended to rushees regardless of the time the rushee has been on the University campus. A rushee may attend as many parties as he likes, but he can not go on a registered party with the same fraternity more than three times. Registered parties are those which have male and female attendance. Violation of any of the above rules will be referred to the or ganization for judgment and pun ishment. A minimum fine of $60 will be placed on any fraternity violating these rules with the pro ceeds of these fines going to the benefit of the Inter-fraternity CounciL ealaniss lmart At The Theaters Th COME ThurSaay thUSAS.
