'Emperor Jon Will Be Next 1 By PAT DAVIS The University Theater will pre sent the exotic Eugene O'Neill drama "The Emperor Jones," at Drayton Hall on Thursday and Fri day, April 11 and 12 at 8:15. "The Emperor Jones," published in 1921 after being produced first in 1920, was one of O'Neill's earlier dramas. Since then this vehicle has been often produced and has lost none of its unique powers which stir audiences and critics to ac claim it. This play is a powerful study of the influence of fear. O'Neill uses expressionism and symbolism to work this fear to a frenzy point in the man, Emperor Jones.

The influence of Freudian Psy chology is obvious and enhances O'Neill's favorite theme. That theme of man struggling with in hibitions and frustrations. The University Theater now brings to us this. unusual story of a civilized man succumbing to his primitive fears. In the principal role of the emperor who could only be killed by a silver bullet is Bill Johnson, who last appeared as Ger ald Arbuthnot in "A Woman of No Importance." The play is written in eight scenes, six of which are soliloquies, therefor. a small cast supports this ehes He Stunt Nights Sigma Chi Tops Frats; Pi Phi's Top Sororities Pi Beta Phi sorority and Sigma Chi fraternity took the prizes for first place in the annual sorority and fraternity stunt nights held last week.

Liquor Stores Are To Operate Near By BILL NOVIT Campus Editor No retail liquor stores will be operated in the Cornell Arms or Claire Tower apartment buildings. The South Carolina tax commis sion denied the application for a license to operate a liquor store in the buildings near the university campus. Thus ended two cases which had a roused widespread comment, the rovernor of the state and the uni versity president, both having initerested themselves in the two applications and both having ex pressed their opposition to favor able action on the application for permits. An open hearing on the petitions for licenses to operate liquor stores in the two buildings was held by the tax commission last week and was largely attended. Governor Byrnes, through Sena tor L.

Denied Licenses University Campus mnemb,er of the university board of trustees, as is the governor, sent the tax commuission word that he prtesCted the location of stores in the apartment buildings. Admiral Norman M. Smith, president of the university, and officers of the uni versity and members of the board of trustees also objected, pointing o)ut the proximity of the two loca tion.s to the university and stress ing the influence they might have on the student body and the im pression~ they might nmake on parents, visiting their sons and daughters at the university. The applicants for the license. contended that licenses had been granted to other applicants, and that opening of these stores would not increase consumption of liquor on the campus. The action of the tax commission last week in rejecting both appl. cations apparently closes the mat tar.
