Miss Powell I In Recital W The Department of Musii presented Carolyn Powell, piai at the University chapel Wed Miss Powell, daughter of Players Present Play At Meeting In Drayton Hall By MARLENE RAST - At the last meeting of the Uni versity Players before the Christ mas holidays, a ore-act play, "Fix ers, Incorporated," was presented for the entertainment of the mem bers -present. This play was di rected by the president of the or ganization, Buddy Long, a senior from Cocoa, Fla. Those taking part were Miller Lide, Lucy Rasheed, Gene Shaw, Jack Acree, Pat Davis, and Sally Hare. Miller Lide was fairly con vincing as the hen-pecked husband who overthrew the rule of his pom pous and social-climbing wife, Lucy Rasheed. Miss Rasheed's performance was good except that she lacked, in a few spots, the gruff, domineering countenance of a society woman. There were times in the lines of Gene Shaw, Pat Davis, and Jack Acree, "the fix ers," that the audience felt as if they were actually in the office of a big-time physician. Sally Hare helped hold the plot together as the daughter of a big manufacturer trying to persuade her fiance, Gene Shaw, to come in as a partner of her father. The play ended happily, as do most plays, with the "Fixers" be ing taken in as partners of the hen-pecked husband t h e y be friended and the characters being paired off as the author deemed suitable. On the whole, Buddy did a fine job of directing the play consider ing all the difficulties of putting on a production of this sort. Any one interested in taking part in these one-act plays presented at each meeting is urged to come to Drayton Hall any afternoon after 3 p. M. Phi Beta Kappa Has Birthday Tea In Wade Hampton Alpha chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at the university celebrated its birthday December 5 with a tea held in the lobby of Wade Hamp ton dormitory. C. M. Ferrell, president of South Carolina Alpha, stressed in his message to the students that Phi Beta Kappa was established 174 years ago in time of crisis. "The guiding principles and ideals which this organization adopted are in danger, and now is the time," said Doctor Ferrell, "to carry on that love of learning and quest of scholarship fostered by the found ers nearly two centuries ago." In regard to this drive for scholarship, Pan Hellenic Council on the university campus is urging the sororities to place more stress on scholarship by making the girls more conscious of grades. Before the holidays, Mrs. Irene Elliott of the English department presented a talk to the girls of Pan Hellenic Council, offering suggestions and ideas in promoting this drive.
