MXNWS FAS f Im BriskWei Boosts Tb By MPLVIN BYARS speciel Writer The sweater-shirt, alias ple shirt, is quite a favorite for mn who want to keep comfortable and warm during the more brisk days-the days the football flies through the air. It is naither shirt nor sweater. The fuller cut models are ob viously more comfortable and less binding. The sweater-shirt is knitted in wool, cotton, acrylic (Acrilan, Orlon, etc.), and other tricotables. In the wool category is cash mere. Short sleeves in this would be much more practical than long ones.

There Is hardly anything in wool warmer.

I feel that there were some present who attended more out of a sense of duty than anything else, but the charm and obvious warmth that radiated from the makeshift stage soon made converts out of the most stony-hearted. Besides being a competent art ist, Miss Conner is an expert showwoman. The old Field House might have been the Met and we might have been the most critical audience in New York as far as her performance went. We got a little bit extra, though, when an artist can relax in front of an audience-as she obviously was doing-she feels free to try things that no one would dare try in front of a group of critics. What I'm speaking of i the little vocal tricks that I recog nized, and the little explanations preferred by the accompanist 'which everyone appreciated. The "common touch," so to speak. If the tricks work ...It's a mem orable performance. If they don't, it's also memorable, but a dif ferent reason. Performance Musically, the performance was above average, the vocal tricks I referred to are used by a singer to pace himself. A voice can be pushed too hard, well trained though it may be, and It wasn't until the end of the pro gram that Miss Conner began to really let herself go; the high notes In her first numbers were solid and on key, but, in the "Scheherazade" number, she went up, and up, and up, and at full voice on the top note, she slowly let it die away, all with perfect control. The accompaniment was very good. Needless to say good back 'ground is essential to a good per formance, and Mr. Henry Jackson was an entertaining performer in his own right. His piano was subdued when necessary, and came forth brilliantly when called for. is accompaniment to the Strauss was indeed perfet-a highlight of the program. Programuming Notes Special mention' is due the pro gramming, which most people don't noftiee until it is con spicuously bad.

Mike Osborne and his commit tee, plus the entire group of peo ple who "pulled the strings" are to be congratulated. It's become a tritism that this "is something Carolina has needed for a long time." Though congratulations are in order, I think that the dis tinction of having first rate per formances on the basketball court is not to our credit, though Miss Conner's performance was better than some that have been seen on that court of late... Next week there'll be a review of some of the latest records out, if I live that long. Some of the reactions to last week's column indicate that I stepped on a few toes ... That really tears me up.

ID BA1 193RoIo OPN2IOR Pixie C Petit Miss Enters Here At Fourteen By ANN ELLIS Staff Writer Fourteen year old Pixie Foster entered Carolina this fall after completion of the ninth grade at Crayton School. The past two or three weeks have been quite hectic for Pixie. Her decision to skip three years of high school has earned her much publicity both on the state and national levels. "Newsweek" carried her story in its September'15 issue. "The State" and "The Columbia Rec ord" and numerous other state papers printed features on Pixie's many talents. Pixie is a petit little miss about five feet tall, although in our interview she declared she was five feet two standing up real tall. She has raven black hair, sparkling brown eyes and mis chievous and impish look about her face. Her major is Journalism at present although in the future #he hopes to earn a degree in ,Art. This semester she is taking: English 12, Spanish 11, Art, and biology 11 and ballet. She con fided that she is not quite ready for Carolina's well-known history department just yet.. Pixie's talents are many. She is studying ballet, tap dancing, voice and is taking dramatics un der Mrs. Mary Lou Kramer of the Children's Theater. At nine years of age, Pixie played the lead in a local play and at eleven, she was prima ballerina with a Columbia dance company. As of yet, Pixie hasn't joined any campus organizations but she has hopes of joining the Caro lina Players. She says she isn't ready for sororities for awhile because she wants to get better. adjusted to college life. Our interview included the question: Do you ever feel in ferior because of the difference in your age and that of the aver age student? Pixie answered: "It depends entirely on the person. I feel as though I am rapidly adusting . . . at times I feel as though I am on the stage or something because the students are always watching my every move." When asked if she wished to graduate early (three years), she answered: "No, I will graduate in four years. I do not think my decision to skip high school will greatly affect my future. This will only make my future come earlier." Pixie chose Carolina because it was near home and because her father, Mr. L. L. Foster, taught psychology here for ten years. I asked her how she felt about being a celebrity on campus and she replied: "Celebrity, oh, I'm not sure I am one, but it is a nice feeling."~ Pixie's future plans after col lege include studying dramatics in New York. "Some day I hope to be an actress on Broadway, but the movies sound like a real challenge too," she said dreamily. I'm sure that all the students here at Carolina will find Pixie Foster a charming and delightful young lady as much as I did HOCATIOlD - FLUFF DRY - 1 -10 OUBLE WASH - 25c ER'S COIN-OPER d Dr. 201 S.

The play will run from October 15-22. "The Reluctant Debutante" sat irizes the zestfulness with which some Mothers often attack the debut of their daughters. Dash ing hither and thither is the ex cited Mrs. Broadbent, feverishly trying to corner any available male. The situation is complicated by competition from an old friend who is similarly occupied. Through a misunderstanding, Jane is introduced to a young man who is considered socially unacceptable, but who proves to be quite acceptable to Jane. Mama's attempts to undo this mis-alliance give rise to much of the play's good humor. Professor and Wife Star Professor Adger Brown, as sistant Professor of Psydhology at the University of South Caro lina, and his wife, Jo, star as Jimmy and Sheila Broadbent, parents of the reluctant debu tante.
