The Chafter Box By BILL BATES Since~bur last "Gamecock" many things have taken place to alter the course of history where "us" college students are concerned. Pinnings and engagements top the list of activities during the Christmas season. While weddings would be considered more important they aren't quite as 0easy to get out of. Though marriage is a wonderful institu tion, it can have its faults where complete freedom is con cerned. MOMENT'S CRY Exams ended one semester while registration began anofier. "Hot dog!" "By George!" and "I swear!" was the cry of the moment as most students finished this task. One student explained registration to be the same thing as pulling eye teeth. Those wearing that forlorn look are the ones of us who had the misfortune to land in the section of one of "those" professors. To overcome the pressure of exams students sought various outlets. Some tried a cruise from Beaufort to Wad malaw Island on a yacht. The Sigma Chi's that enjoyed this brief relaxation were Charlie Way, Johnny Hagins, Bert Pooser, Ed Martin, Doug Garvin and Johnny Stover. RELAXATION , Many others tried relaxing with their close friends at such places as the Opus, the Shadow, the Purple Onion or the Green Lantern. Those enjoying this type of relaxation were Robert Selman and Norma Hearne, Bill Latham and Nancy Ariail, Jeff Goodwin and Sandra Porter, Joe Ashley and Vee Vee Smith, Jimmy Rogers and Mary Vernon Clary and John Langston and Margaret Rainey. Where engagements are concerned, it appears that the jewelry stores were running a sale on diamonds. A great number of gentlemen seem to have been hooked by a few sweetly smiling young ladies. Seven Kappa Delta's and their intendeds are Kitty Wells and Ned Nicholson of the Medical College, Ruth Trask and Critt Gore, Betsy Brown and Robert Mamier, Mary Moore Milling and Rodney Culler of the Medical College, Trina Whaley and Harry Sandasor, Janie Lee Robinson and Gary Banks (SAE); Jo Ann Goff and Thomas Adams (SAE). ENGAGEMENTS Some other sorority sisters and their beaus soon to make the walk up the aisle are Chi Omega's Patsy Irick with Ronnie Banks (SAE), Lynn Eddy with Jack Harrison, Mollie Sasnett with Roland Hughes, Darrell Meeks with Bill Brannon, and Billie Jean Dabney with Bill Berne (Sigma Nu). Among those who are about to take that fatal step is one of our professors, Dr. Edward Nolan, who is engaged to Margaret Stuckey. Others engaged are Phyllis Crews and Robert Long, Carolyn Mays (ZTA) and Harold Benson, -GAY! COLORFULI FUNNY! The Singing, Oancing, Laugh sensation of the yeer STUDENT MATINEE 4 P. M.

By Staff Writer The cast of the clutching ter ror and suspense play "Monique," presented at the Town Theatre under the direction of Louis In gram, brought to theater-goers the oiled and integrated effect of a rare bit of character study as the subtle, unusual plot unfolded to a startling, yet climactic end ing. This psychological mystery by Dorothy and Michael Blankfort, bearing a -close resemblance to the French film "Diabolique," portrayed an exploration by the principals into the realms of the mind as well as the more worldly elements of adultery and murder. Fantasy World Paul Dreher, portraying the tortured husband, Fernand, who, living in a world of fantasy could not reconcile himself to the responsibilities of adulthood, was only concerned with leading a life of imagined peace and seren ity, to be achieved through the planned demise of his haughty, shrewish wife, played by Helen Mendel. His groping search for peace of mind leads the scared Fernand to his doom at the hands of the cunning Monique and her willing accomplice. The development of the character of Fernand was a BY 'GAMECOCK' Best Dres, Will Be A "The Gamecock" is again co operating with "Glamour" maga zine in their national Best Dressed College Girls Contest.

SuOwan e' Plot inusual credit to Paul's acting ability. Ann Drake To those who saw the perform ance, Ann Drake's portrayal of Monique as the conspirator-brain behind the whole plot brought the desired reaction from the audi ence-that of respect, yet dislike, for her cold calculating schemes. The terms of endearment she used in speaking with Fernand as if she were talking to a stone, not the man she loved-and her cool, methodical planning of a fake murder builds the character of an unemotional doctor bent on results which are truly selfish. Ot4er Performances Jim Quick's performance of the drunken gardener, Gouttez, is, as always, supurb and adds a light touch to the drama. Helen Mendel, as the overbear ing wife, gave a convincing per formance as did Linda Bergman in the part of Lisette, the love struck teenager. Josephine Brad ford played the minor part of Henrietta the maid very capably. Technical Credits Weird, authentic sound effects, Chris Thee's professional quality sets, and Joe Winter's lighting all contributed greatly to the enjoy ment and suspense of the vehicle. K. L. M. Oed Girl amed will be submitted with the offi cial fttry form to "Glamour." At the first of March, a panel of "Glamour" editors will choose the Ten Best Dressed College Girls In America from entries submitted by hundreds of colleges in the United States and Canada. Ten Winners The ten winners will be photo graphed on college campuses for the magazine's annual August College Issue and will be flown to New York in June by American Airlines as guests of "Glamour." During their visit to New York they will stay at the Biltmore Hotel and will participate in "Glamour's" College Fashion Show that previews the August issue for over 500 stores. Entertainment They will appear on television, will be entertained in the homes of "Glamour" editors, at the theatre and in famous New York restaurants. They will also have photo graphic appointments and will be interviewed by various "Glamour" editors, Glenna Bryant, society editor of "The Gamecock," has annou nced.
