Will Tea ( New Home By Staff Writer Will the Gamecocks regain the Tea Cup tomorrow or will the Clemson Tigers take the cup home for the third conse eutive year? It all depends which school comes out on top in tomorrow's Big Thursday tilt. The tea cup in question is a coveted rotating trophy given the winner of the Carolina-Clem son game each year to build up hetter relations between the two schools. The idea of awarding a cup materialized in 1948 when the Blne Key Chapters of the two schools donated the trophy to be rotated. The purpose of the cup was to build good will between the students of the two schools. Clemson has had the cup three times and Carolina has managed to keep it in the cen SEEK IDEAS Florida Visite Opinions Of By ROY WILLIAMS Managing Editor A group of 37 students and fac ulty members from the University of Florida recently visited Russell House on a field trip. Composed of architectural stu dents, interior decoration majors, and sttident union personnel, the purpose of the group was to gather information on several student union facilities in the southeast. Carolina was the first of four uni versities they are scheduled to visit; others include Georgia, Duke, and North Carolina. While at Carolina the Florida students also had the opportunity to attend conferences with Louis M. Wolf of the firm of Lyles, Bisset, ('arlisle & Wolf, archi tects of Russell House. During their informal inspec tion of Russell House facilities, the Florida group discussed the buildings' positive and negative points extensively with the Caro lina group. Note Design As the delegation crossed Green Street to view Russell House they noted the pleasing modern design of the building and the ramp as a distinctive and interesting ar chitectural feature. Walking up the ramp the Flori lians commented favorably on the glass panels at the entrance. They were particularly imp)ressed wvith the chandelier just inside the en tran)(ce and felt that the glass panels at night most effectively helped to focus the viewer's eyes on its muagnuificence. Onuce inisidle the building they (entered the canteen, whose facili ties they felt were attractive but CALLED) BEST MOD) Fry's P1 By BILL LUJMPKIN Staff Writer "The Lady's Not For Burning," contemp)orary English p)laywright Christopher Fry's three-act com edy, will be p)resentedl by the Uni versity Players and the Gamma .flTau cast of Alpha Psi Omega as their opening p)rodluction of the year Wednesday through Friday. The play, which is written in blank verse, wvill be presented "in the round' with the action taking plac-e in the center of the theatre andl the audlience on all sides. The sets wvill be simple and suggestive of medieval Gothic architecture wvhile the actors will be wvearing typ)ical 15th century costumes. Presentation wvill take place in the 'Warehouse Theatre on the U.S.C. camp)us. Thle play13 will begin at 8 p.m. First presented in London, Eng land in 1950, the play was an im medliate success andl ran for 300 p)erformlances there before being brought to Newv York in Novem her of the same year. It opened at the Royale Theatre Nov. 8, 1950, and received nearly unani mous acclaim from the dIrama critics of all the major New York pap)ers. The cast of the London product ion, headed by .John Giel gudl as Thomas, Pamela Brown as .Jennet, George Hlow'e as Mayor Tyson, andl Richard Burton as Richard, the mayor's clerk, was honoredl by iine curtain calls on opeing ni~ ight.

Although the cafeteria's avai able facilities were noted wit favor, the students doubted if could reasonably accommodate sufficient number of student since it was the only on-campt cafeteria. They felt that the ground flo< allowed for an excellent traff flow, however. The Florida sti dents brought out the fact th; traffic could move directly throup the ground floor without havir to twist through narrow corridoi or detours.
