The total of 5,019 students in cludes those enrolled in courses at the university's Florence Cen ter and the on-campus evening school, but does not include per sons in classroom courses for uni ersity credit in the 36 community centers operated by the USC ex tension division. In all, approximately 6,500 are enrolled in USC classroom courses for credit. Studies The on-campus student body is made up of 3,747 men and 1,272 women. Of these, 193 men and 88 women are enrolled in the grad uate school, studying for advanced degrees; 161 men and three wo men are registered for courses which require more than five years to complete (law, pre medicine, pre-dental, etc.) The remaining 3,393 men and 1,181 women are pursuing studies which require five years or less to complete. There are 1,078 students-756 men, 322 women-enrolled who have registered for the first time since leaving secondary school, and 225 men and 131 women are registered as transfer students.

CANDY N AT L04 "STREETCAR ."-Stanley ( front the University Players' fo directioi of Gene Crotty of the world of critics in the 40's, pro as "Desire Under the Elms," "'I by Jack French.) Curtain On Playe By Bill Lumpkin Staff Writer When the curtain goes up on the University Players produc tion of Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire" next Wednesday night in Drayton Hall, University students will have an opportunity to see a play which received almost una niimous praise from the major New York drama critics when it premiered there in 1947. The play will be performed on Nov. 12, 13, and 14 with curtain time at 8:15 p.m. Uni versity students will be ad mitted upon the presentation of their ID cards. Faculty members and the general public will be charged a .75 cents per person or $1.25 per couple admission fee, the University Players' have an nounced. Tremendous Success The New York premiere of "Streetcar" was a tremendous success both from a critical point of view and as a "box office draw," opening on Dec. 4, 19-17, at the Ethel Barrymore Trheaitre and continuing its per formances as late as .Jan. 1, 11)29. lFew dramatists and plays htave received a mote enthusiastic welcomte fromt the c rities. "The Newv York World-Telegram" critic William Hawkins called it "a terrific adventure in the theatre" and Brooks Atkinson of "The Times" wvrote that 'Tennessee WV i ll i a m s has brought uts a superb drama. . . . Williams himself, whose real namte is Thomas Lanier (Wil liams) and is actually from Mississippi, was referred to as "...an oncoming playwright of p)ower, imagination, and an almost desperately morbid turn of mind and emotion. . . ." by Richard Watts, J.r. writing for "The Post." D)istiniguishted Cast The student actors who will potray the four major charac ters in the Players presentation of this drama will he following (ILK ~CO FE E SAND1 MANY CONVENIEI ATIONS ON CAMF DISTRIBLUTING: r Dan Stanland) a nd Blanche (Joy >rthcoming drama "A Streetcar Na English department.

Members of the University Players performing in these roles are, respectively, Dan Stanland as "Stanley," Cynthia Gilliam as "Stella," Joy Jen nings as "Blanche" and Clar ence Felder as "Mitch." Players Presentation As in the past, members of the University Players will handle backstage work on lights, sound, sets, props, and costumes as well as acting in the play. The powerful new lighting system, recently installed, will be used for the first time in this production which will be directed by Professor Gene Crotty of the University English department. If last year's capacity and overflow audiences were any indication, the Players may have a "full house" when opening night arrives even without Marlon Brqndo and Jessica Tandy. However, Drayton Hall seats almost twice as many per sons as the old Warehouse Theatre. Rleview Se'lectmins Seeted p)ortions of the open ing niight reviews by nine New Yorik dIrama crities follow: Richard Watts, JTr., "Post": "...a feverish, sqlualid, tumul touis, p)ainful, steadily arresting, and oddly touching study of feminine decay along the lower Mississippi . . . added notably to) the color and excitement of the theatrical season . . . never ceases to be effective and powverful. . . . John Ch a p man, "Daily Newvs": "Tennessee Williams, a young playwright who is not ashamed of being a poet, has given us a superb) drama... the new play is full scale, throbbingly alive, compassion ate, heart-wrenchingly human.

(Gamecock staff photo nesday car...' and fascinating study of the disintegration of a southern belle . . . often coarse and har rowing . . . but it is a play of enormous gusto and vitality, and poignance. Louis Kroneberger, "PM": . . . by all odds the most crea tive new play of the season, the one that reveals the most talent, the one that attempts the most truth. Harsh Realism William Hawkins, "World Telegram": " . . . Tennessee Williams models out of the raw est materials and his finished art is harsh realism. It Is the lost souls that occupy him, the people whose sensitivity con demns them to total disappoint ment." Howard Barnes, "Herald Tribune": " . . . a savagely ar resting tragedy . . . a work of rare discernment and crafts manship . . . one of the finest plays of many seasons . . . a memorable show." Something Special Robert Garland, "Journal A merican": " . . . Williams has engendered an extraordinarily exciting evening in the theatre ...adds up to something spe cialI." Brooks A t k i n s o n, "The Times": " . . . It reveals Mr. Williams as a genuinely poetic playwright whose knowledge of people is honest and thorough and whose sympathy is pro foundly human .. . a poignant and luminous story . . . the most imaginative and percep tive play he has written." Author Took Bow The play not only justified the predictions of many of these critics that it would have a long run, it was enthusiastically re ceived by the opening night audience, composed largely of critical and hard-to-please show people. "The Journal-American" critic Garland recorded in his review the fact that there were re peated spontaneous encores and cries of ."Author ! Author!" until Williams came on-stage and took the bow that so many playwrights dream of taking and so few ever do.
