McKissick Book Has OddFeature By RUDY THIGPEN Many a book is purchased on the strength of its cover, but few because of edges of their pages. This, however, is true in the case of "The Pupils of St. John, the Di vine," an old volume contained in the Treasure room of McKissick Library. This is one of the few books that was purchased by the library to add to its Treasure room collection. The book, as is suggested by its title, is on the subject of religion, but so far as is known, few people have ever delved into its contents. Its appearance is its fascinating feature. By holding the book front-side down, you can sedr that the edges of the leaves are tinted a greenish gold. Flicking the pages back at a slight angle, you see a complete picture painted on the edge of the book. The picture, a pastoral- scene with trees and a lake, is a delicate work of art. This work is known as "fore-edge" painting and is now a lost art, according to Mrs. Eng lish, librarian.

These critics are the 15 Carolina students who attended the fourth national assembly of the Student Christian Association movement (SCAM), made up of nationwide student YMCA's and YWCA's. The Assembly, which lasted from December 27, 1950, till January 2, 1951, was held at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. The representatives came back from their trip filled with rules of how it's (lone in the well-organized clubs. Any presiding officer on campus is now subject to their re peated corrections. Mary Blood worth, one of the travelers, said, "I feel like I know the book back wiaidti anid forwards." The rules on procedure were displayed in the various meetings that the iepie sentatives attended, for students had to vote on policies and recom mendations for the 'Y's over the nation. At the meetings, some of which lasted far into the night, were passed several new resolutions. One was that the schools would be asked to contribute on a percentage basis of their budgets. Another was that membership in the 'Y wvould be based on a statement of purpose. The four program objectives de cided on for the coming four years ar Christian heritage and fellow ship, religion in higher education, perisotnl life, and the nation and the world. These were, however, only suggestions for themes to local 'Y' associations.

Christ versity Theater, has announ< Players to participate in the Theater Month (ITM) during This plan is for American port of the United Nations and its objectives. It is sponsored by the Panel on Dramatic Arts of the U. S. National Commission for UNESCO and the American Na tional Theater and Academy (ANTA). ITM is an experiment unique in the annals of the American stage. First sponsored in March, 1950, under the auspices of the ANTA and the U. S. National Commis sion for UNESCO, the project is part of an over-all objective of the National Commission to increase international understanding. Dur ing March, 1950, theaters all over the country, under the banner of ITM, produced a play or other pro grams designed to promote the themes of world peace through in ternational understanding and re spect for universal human rights. The success of the 1950 venture s t i m u l a t e d the International Theaters Institute to make this an international project in 1951. Participants ' in ITM during March, 1951, must concentrate on productions which best suggest the search for security and peace and the themes underlining the Uni versal Declaration of Human Rights. Last year there were premieres of plays by authors of various na tions, the object of the whole month being to produce plays which would promote the move ment of peace and international understanding. Any review of theater activities during March, 1950, bears witness to the success of this undertaking. Further plans, as they are or ganized for this project will ap pear in The Gamecock. i CIGRETE.. tysurveyshws that moke Luckiest You'll acco-can give you. r Strike means fine plete smoking enjoy 3o Lucky today!
