To most USC students, Homecoming
Week means jammin' at Cockfest,
gawking at the parade, tailgating for a
real reason and, of course, football.
Alumni gather at the old st^mpin'
grounds to strengthen old ties and revive
the camaraderie of their gloiy days
at USC. But for a special group of former
students, Homecoming *95 (specif

icauy, mis inursaay; is me cnance to
commemorate a turbulent era in the
university's ? and the nation's ?history,
as well as a chance for reunion
with faces from the past.
The Alumni Association and War
Years Alumni Committee have put together
a series of events in remembrance
of USC students who served, or gave
their lives, in World War II.
According to Holly Fullerton of the
Alumni Association, this event is for
graduates and former students who
were here during the war years, from .
1941 to 1945.
"Some might not have finished here
then because they had to enlist, and
some might have finished later," says
Fullerton. "But about 250 will be returning
to campus, and many of them
haven't been back to Columbia in 50
years."
Throughout the day Thursday, Assistant
University Archivist Elizabeth
Cassidy will be interviewing and videotaping
some of these former students
for an oral history documenting this
era's impact on USC. Although this interviewing
process is not open to the :

be in the university archives, and aspiring
historians can learn about the
scrap metal drives and dances at Fort
Jackson that were part of a 1940s student's
life.
At 2 p.m. Thursday, there will be a
memorial service in Rutledge Chapel
in remembrance of students who served
or lost their lives in World War II. Dr.
Lauren Brubaker will conduct this "Service
of Remembrance and Thanksgiving."
Faculty, staff, and students are
invited to attend.
From Rutledge Chapel, War Years
students will move to the South
Caroliniana Library garden for the unveiling
of a War Years memorial plaque.
"We've arranged to line the walkway
on the Horseshoe between Rutledge
and the librarv with small American
flags for the walk to the unveiling,"
Fullerton said.
This plaque will stand alongside its
"twin" remembrance of Civil War dead.
It was the idea of the War Years Alumni
Committee to sponsor such a memorial.

ETHAN MYERSON The Gamecock
Thursday night from 7-11 p.m. at
the State Museum is the War Years
Gala, basically a huge party to end the
somber day on a more festive note. After
all, this is Homecoming ? and a
class reunion, of sorts. War Years alumni
and their guests can attend. A jukebox
will crank out 1940s music, Jimmy
Farr and His Orchestra will perform,
and plans for a jitterbug contest are in
the works. There will also be plenty of
food and a slide show of the war years
at USC.
Although the occasion is serious,
Holly Fullerton speculates that attendees
will have fun. People are reuniting
who have not seen each other ?
or Columbia ? in 50 years or more.
Some of them might have even served
together in the war.
"I think it has a special appeal because
they all say they have no sense
of connection to a specific class," Fultertan
said. "This way, they can all come
together and not worry about 'belonging'
to a particular year."

PAIGE HAGGARD Staff Writer
Theatre USC's production of "Arsenic
and Old Lace" directed by Richard
Blair opened Friday at Drayton Hall.
The play was written by Joseph Kesserling
in 1938 and was originally entitled
"Bodies in Our Cellar." Retitled "Arsenic
and Old Lace," the play opened on January
10,1941. There was even a movie
produced starring Cary Grant.
The curtain rose on a neat parlor,
perfect for two maidenly sisters. The set
detail was quite accurate, down to the
moldings and the wall pictures. There
was even a fireplace and a beautiful door
transom. The room was very cozy and
seemed a lovely place for tea and biscuits
with homemade jam.
The lighting was outstanding, varying
from soothing and comfortable to
foreboding. The most impressive detail
was the lighting through the windows
and out the front door. As time passed,
the light outside changed, dimming as
night progressed and brighter when
morning came. The only neglected detail
was the area around the fireplace,

You probably walk by Rutledge College
on the Horseshoe frequently as you
rush to class. Maybe you have thrown
your frisbee into its hedges. Or perhaps
you've attended a chorus concert or faculty
musical performance there. But the
fact is you don't have a clue about where
that frisbee-stopper comes from.
When the then South Carolina College
opened its doors for the first time
on January 10,1805, Rutledge College
was the only building on campus. It

The costumes were equally good.
The two aunts were appropriately Victorian-esque.
All other characters were
in 40s period dress. Teddy Brewster's
suit would have looked just as approCollege

all at the same time.
The building was designed to accommodate
50 students and faculty. The
wings were residential halls, while the
center contained a chapel and academic
areas.
Rutledge was originally called the
South building because a 300 foot building
was to built to the north of it, to be
called the North building. When other
buildings on campus started being built,
with names like the New South building
and the New North building, it became
confusing, so in 1840, the South
building became Rutledge College.
The building was named for former

priate on Cary Grant as it did on Matt
Engle. The color choice for Jonathan
Brewster's costume was especially apt.
The combination of a deep red shirt and
accents with the black suit was as menacing
as an insane criminal should be.
The play was very enjoyable and
very funny. Ah Freeman and Tawyna
Pamplin did a good job playing the blithely
murderous spinster aunts, and Engle's
physical comedy was quite engaging.
Nathan Terracio played Teddy Brewster,
a character who thinks he's Theodore
Roosevelt; Terracio was a convincing
TR ? very bully. The rest of the cast
did well, although some of the accents
were inconsistent and Harrison Saunders'
Jonathan Brewster was more melodramatic
than maniacal.
The audience responded warmly to
the play. They not only laughed at the
slapstick and double takes, but also enjoyed
the intellectual humor, such as
the well-placed Pirendello joke.
Overall, it was an evening well-spent
The play was humorous and very well
done. It's an experience that has something
for everyone.

S.C. Governor John Rutledge, who was
an advocate of higher education. His
brother, John, was a signer of the Declaration
of Independence.
In 1855, Rutledge was destroyed by
fire and its texture was changed to stucco.
The original building was brick, and
was considered too plain.
Today, the college's wings serve as
dormitories. There is still a chapel in
the center section of the building where
many USC activities take place, in addition
to religious ceremonies.
And just think, you only thought it
was a nice background for your impromptu
jam sessions.
