Reinbacher To Yankeeh By WOLFGANG REINBACHER So one morning I wake up, half the century gone, and nothing ac complished yet. And before the dizzy vacation fog lifted from be fore my eyes, I found myself back home in Carolina. Yes, I did it, against the judg ment of better people, I went right into the heart of Yankeeland, a place called New Amsterdam or something like that. You know, where they have the water short age so bad they have to drink straight moonshine. Like in that song "Carolina moonshine keeps me waiting" or thereabouts. Now I look at Cornell Arms as the poor man's Empire State build ing, the front of Sims sees the same activities as Central Park, and Fifth avenue is not better than Main street-same high prices. At Lake Success we visited the United Nations headquarters, and the guide pointed out, how many tons of documents were produced daily. They must never have seen the amount of questionnaires we had to fill out, before America be came a reality. Times Square on New Year's Eve accommodated more people than the Gamecock-Tiger game, and amidst the noise of the crowds and the brilliant lights were con tinuously mixed the screaming sirens of ambulances, testifying Registrar Annm Schedule To Be All students will be required ti dlay of recitation January 21 and e H. 0.

Pays Visit md Scenes that another human being with a car had just made New Year's day his lethal holiday. One afternoon I visited the Statue of Liberty, wondering what it is, which keeps America going. But as dusk fell and Manhattan lights sparkled over the harbor, I kept thinking, that this sight might be the last I see of this country, when I go home in about half a year. Don't anybody dare wish me a happy 1950! Often I also wandered around the poorer sections of town, and the familiar sight of a large scale misery on Christmas day produced a picture of most countries of Europe. But though I stayed almost two weeks in the .North, I portrayed my southern point of view. Too bad that hardly anybody knew that Robert E. Lee was not only a Mississippi steamboat, and while going up to NY and sporting a rebel flag on the aerial, some people spoke to us in Oxford Eng lish because they thought it was the Union Jack, or something equally in national debt. Anyway, had we no success in re-opening the fire of the Civil War, we were glad to come back to friendly Caro lina; so Trudes and I wish "you all" a mighty happy New Year and may the GI checks come in whenever they are needed. munces Exam ~gin Jan. 23 attend classes through the last Kamiinations will begin January 23, iced Monday. ions for seniors this semester as Iiscontiniue early examinations for requirements at the end of the rill be as follows: DULJE, JANUA RY 23-30, 1950 Examination Hours ry 11 a. m. to 1 p. m. ary 8 a. m. to 10 a. m. y 8 a.nm. to 10 a. m. ,ry 8 a. m. to 10 a.m. 3 p. m. to 6 p. m. y 8 a. m. to 10 a. m. ary 8 a.m. to 10 a. m. muary 11 a.m, to 1 p. m. ary 3 p. m. to 5 p. m. iry 11 a. m. to 1 p. m. ary 8 a. m. to 10 a. n.

Behrman. The play which wai ditected by Tom piley Is a rathei pleasant character comedy, witt most of Its worth in -its sparkling dialogue. The cast was the most polished that we have seen on the stage al Drayton Hall, and the poise of mosi of the performers showed the bene. fits of their experience. Griffen Campbell as C I a r 1I Storey, a disarmingly frank, sec ond-rate writer, Is an accomplished actor whose return, after so long an absence, is certainly welcome, Campbell managed his role wit1 none of -the "ham" technique inte which the part could easily 'have led him. - Russell Green was excellent at Austin Lowe, a love-struck scien. tist. The role presented the inter esting problem of an intelligeni man acting like a fool. Green wai convincingly foolish and injecte enough of a pathetic vein into hii role to gain the sympathy of th4 audience. Dotsy Lloyd brought a refresh. ingly mature characterization t< the stage with her portrayal ol Mrs. Kendall Frayne, a rich widow Miss Lloyd showed an unusua understanding of the role anc didn't fall into that sing-song, no tone voice that is the scourge o1 most young actresses. Playing opposite these threq comparative veterans and with th4 difficult role of Monica Grey a. her particular province, Jo AnT Patrick was at an obvious disad vantage.

Miss Patrick was convincing only in spots and then when Camp bell or Green had control of the situation. A great deal of credit for the success of the performances is due to Tom Riley, the director. Mr. Riley, a former instructor in the English department, made the most of his outstanding cast and gave to the production the timing that is often so noticeably lacking in amateur plays. -pres V A R S H Songs -:- Do Draytc Tonight ADME Students Others COLUMBI NOW OPEN UNDER STEAKS CHOP!
