The sweater-shirt, alias ple

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. This soft, soft fuzz at the
bottom of the longer hair of the
Kashmir goat (habitat: Himal

woven and frequently does so at
elbows. There Is hardly anything
in wool warmer.

Miss Connc
Success At
By DAVE BLEDSOE
Music Analyst
Miss Nadine Conner's success
at Carolina in the first of the
Artist Series was, to use an un
derstatement, gratifying. 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. The songs she
ended with were appropriate and

Carolina
might almost say that the first
half of a performance is to be
appreciated, and the second half
enjoyed.
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.

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

"DEBUTANTE" SET

By BILL BATES
Staff Writer
Town Theater opens its 40th
mason on October 16 with their
production of "The Reluctant
Debutante" by William Douglas
Home. 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.
