A glance behimnd the scenes of this play wili immediately reveal sonme unique features, one of which ns the p)ain of scissors used as the murder weapon.

Education Importance While the entertainment field in film is without doubt the more in teresting to students, the main pur pose of the Extension Division is to provide educational films and facilities for the classes at the Uni versity and for the public schools of South Carolina. A fact not widely known is the presence of a projection room with seating capacity for 75 people in the basement of Maxcy. Films ranging from geography to guidance are available on any grade or age level upon request. Laughton Wiles often makes tours of the state to lecture on the value of visual aids in the class room. These lecture tours are to show the coordination of education and films, to show the benefits of film instruction and to demonstrate the use of audio visual equipment. Since Laughton has been head of the Audio Visual branch of the Ex tension Division it has increased its film output and new films by at least a third of what it was two years ago.
