UniversityP On 'See Hom By Leretia MKey I wandered into the University Players' new theater the other day to try to get a story. The scene ithat confronted my eyes was, to say the least, confusing. The place was strewn with lumber, nails, paint brusher, cans of paint, electrical equipment, and an end less array of theatrical equipment. Swarming about were workers of all sexes, sizes, and shapes. One in particular caught my attention -a pale blue creature climbing around on the ceiling with what appeared to be a cosmic ray-gun. I immediately mistook him for a "Man from Mars," but he informed me that he was Alton Brown and that he was painting. I asked him who was in charge and he pointed to a whirling fury-Vance John son. For thirty minutes I tried to catch him, but finally gave it up ,q an impossible task. i.. ",e midst of all the chaos, something was going on on the sta-e. "I assure you that I am very broad minded," someone was say ing -as she bent topresent a rear view to the "audience." "I'm sure you are," she was answered. The accent of the first I imme diately placed as English. First a "Man from Mars" and now an English women. "What is it?" I asked Jackie Stackhouse, who was standing in front of the stage, watching intently the strange hap penings. "We're rehearsing 'See How They Run,' a comedy we're pre senting soon." "Who is the English woman?" I wanted to know. "Oh!" she 1hughed. "She's not English, she's Flossie Jefferies." "And the other?" "Thats Polly Mishoe, the leading lady." "Looks like fun. When's the opening?" "March 25th and 26th, I hope," replied Jackie. "I'm the director," she hastened to explain her pessimism. Suddenly from one of the back rooms I heard noise. I stuck my nose in the door. "Four conversa tions are three too many - - - - -" "Brother, you can say that again," I thought. "But what's going on here?" Apparently a bunch of students were draped on chairs, tables, and stools having a nonsensical conversation. One girl was slapping paint on a poster, turning once in awhile to brandish her paint brush in the air and make some remark. A boy was apparently absorbed in a book, but he also stopped fre quently to toss- a comment to the crowd. Just then someone brushed past me. "Well, I'm back." Hadn't I seen her somewhere-oh! It was Flossie JTefferies. "Aren't you in the play?" I inquired. "Both," she answered. Now the light dawned-another play. Seeing my puzzled ex pression, Tommy Smith hastened to explain that this was a re hearsal for "The Little Foxes" a drama. Shan Dozier is playing the heartless and mercenery Regina who "wants the world" and doesn't care how she gets it or who she steps on In the process. From what I heard, this promises to be an absorbing bit of entertain ment. ) "And what is she doing?" I asked, pointing to the girl with the paint brush. "Painting posters to announce our -Open House upon completion of the new theater. We want everyone to come. I guess we're hoping to be proud of our work. There might even be a taste of our dramatie work. Anyway, there will be refreshments." 4hysics Professors Will Attend Meeting Three members of the Univer sity of South Carolina physics de partment will attend a three-day regional meeting of the South eastern Section of the American Physical Society at Duke and North Carolina Universities on .March 26, 27 and 28, Prof. Charles F.

As I left, I heard Tommy tell Flossie, "You're going too fast. Slow down. Where's your South ern accent?" Poor Flossiel Then I ran into Joe Holland, who had paper, pencil, and a pen-' sive expression. "What are you doing?" My curiosity getting the better of me. "Trying to design a set. I can't decide whether to put a window here or the fireplac." "Goodness! This is a versatile group.' "Is there anything else that I've missed?" I jested. "Well, there's the radio plays, we present every week over WUSC, our campus station. Haven't you heard one? They are under the direction of Vance Johnson and Betsy Still. We've still got lots to learn there be cause it's brand new to us, but they're not too bad." "How in the world do you find time for radio plays?" "We do all the casting and re hearsing on Saturday afternoons and then record them for play back." "I'll leave on that. Goodbye and thanks." I almost made it to the door before someone grabbed me. "Hey! What are you doing without a paint brush? Here," he said, thrusting a brush in my hand and Junior Reci Given By M The Department of Music, Hugh Williamston, director, of the Uni versity of South Carolina, will present Mr. William Triplett, organist, Mr. Jack Mills, baritone, and Mr. Heyward Moore, trum peter, in their Junior Recital at the University Chapel on Tuesday evening, Marcha 24 at 8:30 p.m. William Triplett is the son of Mr. and Mrs. F.
