Beginning at eleven o’clock this morning, the Old College lawn will become the fair grounds for a day of “food, fun, and froic.’ ’Sandwiches of lusciously different flavors will be sold there; also cakes, candy, pies, lemonade and other cold drinks—all home-made and irresistibly tempting. Every one is urged to patronize this novel open-air cafeteria, and eat out on the lawn with all the re.ot of th; school. At other booths, noise-makers, and j other fun novelties will be on sale, be he nickels and dimes from students’ purses. “We hope that the nickels and dimes will come rolling out freely and unstintedly,” says Margaret Clarev. chairman of the Carnival Committee, “for we want today’s event to add a vast sum to the Women’s Hall Fund. We know that the women students will be out en masse, and we hope that we can count on the same support from the men.” Teet Carle, Trojan editor, for the men answers: “Sure we’ll back the Carnival; just watch us submit gracefully and generously to the coed sales girls.” Everything for the carnival is being donated by the women students, assuring a plentiful supply of “home-cooked” articles which will be a special treat for the; campus “bakery hounds.” There are to be some surprise features, too, and tha fun will be continuous from eleven in lhe morning until late afternoon’ Leo Calland, recently appointed Freshman basket ball coach, plans to get started in practice on Dec. 3, the first Monday after Thanksgiving recess. In order to get a line on his prospects for the coming season, Calland has sent out Manual Laraneta and Bill Stever to get as many first year men as possible to try for the Peagreen casaba five. He also states that ii the two mentioned are not seen by those who wish to play, these persons should see him or Frank Hadlock at the Journalism building. Coach Calland says: “If we can get as many out for basket ball that we had for the Frosh football team, I believe that we are going to have another successful Freshman combination.

S. C.'s dramatic season for the year 1923-24 was successfully launched in the Touchstone Theater last Monday afternoon with a program of three one-act plays. Those who attended the performance found the Old College Chapel changed into a neat, new, little thater of the intimate type. In the main, the enterainment provided was charming and thoroughly in --keeping with the pleasant atmosphere of the new Touchstone playhous. Entertained on Anniversary, as NEW ERA LAUNCHED o DEAN SKEELE AT S.C.F0R 25 YEARS FIRST USED IN RELIGION __ Was Recently Introduced by a New York Pastor in His Services A brief history of dancing, a discussion of the French-Italian and the Russian Ballets, and a few remarks on the personalities of great contemporary dancers, was the gist of Miss Bertha Wfordeil’s talk to the W. A. A. at their mass meeting Tuesday. The Ihird meeting of the Woman’s Athletic Association held in the Gym on Tuesday noon was well attended. It was decided to postpone the decision on the Song and Yell Contest until the committee received more material. The few compositions turned in are well written but are too typical of the average college songs and yells and the judges are waiting in the hopes of receiving some really original suggestions. After the business of the hour. Miss Summers, president of the organization, introduced the speaker, Miss Bertha Wardell, of the University of C ilifornia. Miss Wardell has studied with some of the most prominent dancers of the day and is an au tnority on that subject. She stressed the fact that dancing is one of the most natural expicssions and was first used as a part of the ritual in early religious rites. It is interesting Jo note that recently the pastor of St. Marks Church in fhe Bowery in New York has introduced dancing into his Christmas and Thanksgiving services. Though this has brought much unfavorable comment from the church it is proving very popular with the public. Miss Wardell explained the difference in the Ballet schools and the newest natural and acrobatic dancing. She closed with brief sketches of the work of such well known people as Isador Duncan, Mary Morgan and Pavalova. all Commerce affairs, and so far no studenl8. special reductions for those .

Nevertheless, the thrills with an enrollment of five hundred Sjde while on the other it causes didnt thrill very much ever relentlessly governing the destiny of mankind. Mildred Young and Rachael Hciks were well cast as Pierrot and Columbine. Others in the cast did very well. NORTHERN MELODRAMA The “Brink of Silence” by Esthe> E. Galbraith was an artificial melodrama of the faraway Northwest where “ a man's a man" and that sort of thing. It was filled with all the conventional absurdities of such plays including the soft-pedaled cuss words and the would-be dramatic exclamation of “God! to think that my son—etc.” The actors tried very hard to appear excessively red blooded, as bold men of honor ent> north of 53 are .supposed to be. Furthermore, the author did her best to give them hot lines calculated to thrill tender maiden ladies in the CARL KNOPF TO SPEAK AT PEP RALLY TODAY The decorations are under the care of Ellen Patrick, and when last seen, she was wavering between the advisability of spreading blue-and-white butterflies around or of getting original and using the color scheme of Cardinal and Gold for a change. Probably the decision will be entirely different, so don't expect either 01 the above.

S. C.'s dramatic season for the year 1923-24 was successfully launched in the Touchstone Theater last Monday afternoon with a program of three one-act plays. Those who attended the performance found the Old College Chapel changed into a neat, new, little thater of the intimate type. In the main, the enterainment provided was charming and thoroughly in --keeping with the pleasant atmosphere of the new Touchstone playhous. Entertained on Anniversary, as NEW ERA LAUNCHED o DEAN SKEELE AT S.C.F0R 25 YEARS FIRST USED IN RELIGION __ Was Recently Introduced by a New York Pastor in His Services A brief history of dancing, a discussion of the French-Italian and the Russian Ballets, and a few remarks on the personalities of great contemporary dancers, was the gist of Miss Bertha Wfordeil’s talk to the W. A. A. at their mass meeting Tuesday. The Ihird meeting of the Woman’s Athletic Association held in the Gym on Tuesday noon was well attended. It was decided to postpone the decision on the Song and Yell Contest until the committee received more material. The few compositions turned in are well written but are too typical of the average college songs and yells and the judges are waiting in the hopes of receiving some really original suggestions. After the business of the hour. Miss Summers, president of the organization, introduced the speaker, Miss Bertha Wardell, of the University of C ilifornia. Miss Wardell has studied with some of the most prominent dancers of the day and is an au tnority on that subject. She stressed the fact that dancing is one of the most natural expicssions and was first used as a part of the ritual in early religious rites. It is interesting Jo note that recently the pastor of St. Marks Church in fhe Bowery in New York has introduced dancing into his Christmas and Thanksgiving services. Though this has brought much unfavorable comment from the church it is proving very popular with the public. Miss Wardell explained the difference in the Ballet schools and the newest natural and acrobatic dancing. She closed with brief sketches of the work of such well known people as Isador Duncan, Mary Morgan and Pavalova. all Commerce affairs, and so far no studenl8. special reductions for those .

Galbraith was an artificial melodrama of the faraway Northwest where “ a man's a man" and that sort of thing. It was filled with all the conventional absurdities of such plays including the soft-pedaled cuss words and the would-be dramatic exclamation of “God! to think that my son—etc.” The actors tried very hard to appear excessively red blooded, as bold men of honor ent> north of 53 are .supposed to be. Furthermore, the author did her best to give them hot lines calculated to thrill tender maiden ladies in the CARL KNOPF TO SPEAK AT PEP RALLY TODAY The decorations are under the care of Ellen Patrick, and when last seen, she was wavering between the advisability of spreading blue-and-white butterflies around or of getting original and using the color scheme of Cardinal and Gold for a change.
