Virginia s Once Pla~ By PATSY PENNEY Assistant Managing Editor "P'ickles for a play"--does it sound crazy ? It may be, but people have paid it before. The novel idea was practiced b ack in the 1929 depression by a group of hungry actors in Vir gina and it's still being practiced occasionally today. It all came about through an energetic young actor named Robcert Porterfield. Out of work after the big crash, he turned to the idiea of a theater for which produce would be used as admis sion. And the idea caught on. Hitchhiking to Abington, Vir Sginia, Porterfield and a group of actors took over an old building given up by its owners wvho had also been hit by the depression. That was a minor problem, how ever, when compared to the Victorian-minded c i t i z e n a of A bington. To break the ice, the group of 22 actors and actresses appeared at the local Presbyterian Church. The audience liked the show but they were not thoroughly con vincedi of the merits of the project until the singing of the hymn "Rock of Ages" began. A young baritone brought the house down then by singing out in a gifted voice without once looking at the hymnal. Luck went hand in hand with ingenuity, for as the actor con fessed later: "I knew the verses because I had to sing them in a p)lay last year. I have not been I to church in 25 years." Far be it, from the actors to explain the stroke of luck to the staidi parishoners. The idea grew and grew andr pretty soon the actors were well fed. Local citizens improved theirr cultural growth and at the samet time filled the larder of the actors with sowa, beans, pickles, cows andi corn being paid as ad-< mission.1 Produce may still buy a Meat lob Interviews ?or First Week n March Listed Job interviews for seniors for ie week March 7-11 have been rinounced by Miss Jill Swingle r the University Placement ureau.

(Gainec Formosan Speak in By BEN McELVEEN Feature Editor "I'm not afraid of Heaven; "I'm not afraid of Hell, But am I scared of a Cantonese Who doesn't speak Mandarin well." Roughly translated into Eng lish from the dialect of the northern province of Fukienese in China, that's equivalent to a Yankee making derogatory com ment about a Rebel in America. The above is a humorous saying, Shelley H. Cheng of Foochow, China, said, that the inhabitants of the northern provinces of China tell on the inhabitants of the southern provinces of China. Sara Kwong and Shelley H. Cheng are two of five foreign students attending the University of South Carolina from the Far East. The others are: Chin Chiun Chu of Hsinchu, Formosa, Wen Kai Kung of Pintung, Formosa, and Yu Ing Chu of Hsinchu, Formosa. Chin Chiun Chu and Yu Ing Chu are brothers. Wen-Kai Kung, one of the re cent students to arrive here, seemed a little shy. Finally, he was asked to explain the dif ferent dialects in Formosa, where he lives.

"Wen-Kai's home has been Formosa for a long tinie," she interpreted. "It's even more com plicated there. There is a native dialect plus the Japanese dialect, for Formosa has been under Japanese control for 51 years." Sara Kwong of Canton, China, a southern city, listened to Shel ley's relating of the above maxim and smiled. This reporter asked her: "And what do the Cantonese say about the Northerners?" "We're just nice," Sara said, "and don't say things like that about their accents." All educated people in China. Shelley Cheng said, speak Man darin which is understood by most everyone. It is the official lan guage of China and is taught in the schools, he said. Two of the foreign students just recently arrived at the uni versity.

She explained that American students here are much more friendly than most students in China. "We Chinese are a lot more conservative," she said. But, here, you'll be passing by some one you may not even know, and they'll say 'Hello!' In China," Sara said. "you'd not speak to anyone you had not been intro duced to." "Chinese students are a lot more serious about their study than Americans," Sara said. "I find that Americans aren't too happy about studying.
