Carrying a delightful role in the production is Helen Hougen McCall, who will enact the little flower girl who is made over into a duchess through the power of forensics and patient teachers. A seasoned actress on the campus. Mrs. McCall essays an entirely new type of role in the current presentation.
Besides the setting, which will be one of the most impressive factors in the production, costumes will aid greatly in the beauty of the show. Rumor runs that Mrs. McCall will be indeed a “triumph of the dressmaker’s art” ln the final acts of the performance.
Running closely with Mrs. McCall for first honors will be Harriett Louise Touton, who will play the part of Lady Eynsford-Hill. Miss Touton is a graduate student on the campus and has appeared in many campus productions. A former president of Phi Beta, music and social fraternity, she is also former president of Alpha Chi Omega.
New Talent
Comparatively new to the campus, but outstanding in her work thus far, is Elizabeth Needham, who will play Lady Eynsford-Hill’s exclusive daughter. Her equally snobbish brother will be played by Philip Black, who was praised for his work as the stalwart, hero in •‘Hazel Kirke,” which was revived last falL
Margaret Barton and Dorothy Martin will appear in the roles of Mrs. Higgins and Mrs. Pearce, respectively. They both have had a great deal of experience in campus dramatics and have achieved honors here. Miss Barton is a member of Zeta Phi Eta. national dramatic fraternity, and a member of National Collegiate players, while Miss Martin was recently pledged to the latter honorary organization.
Six Men To Appear
Bernice Foulkes will be seen as the delightful parlor maid of the piece.
Holding up the honors for the masculine contingent, six men will vie for honors in their respective parts in the play.

Soviets Launch Baby Campaign
Leaders Aim To Build Up Russia Man-Power as State Develops
MOSCOW, May 28 — (UP)—Communist party leaders today launched a campaign for “more babies” throughout the Soviet Union, to build up Russia's manpower.
The campaign, announced through The Pravda (The Truth), the party’s official organ, emphasized that since the Bolshevik revolution, the population had increased 25,000.000 persons.
“We are sincerely happy at this increase,” the announcement said.

The outline of this structure, still vague and blurred tonight, calls for the voluntary co-operation of business men. Instead of the government imposing codes, the business men themselves would draw up the agreements and submit them to the federal trade commission for approval.
Sen. Gerald P. Nye, R„ ND.. put lawyers to work studying the plan, and administration leaders were said to' regard it favorably.

The supreme court’s decision left President Roosevelt with the alternative of dropping NRA or of trying to salvage something through legislation in congress.

Nash To Devote 10 Years In Printing Vulgate Bible
Fulfilling a life-long ambition. John Henry Nash master printer of San Francisco, has begun the tremendous task of printing the \ ulgate Bible as the crowning achievement of a long career of master typographical craftsmanship Nash plans to devote about ten years to his latest and
! most Important undertaking. Noted*----
' for the painstaking care exercised
Contralto Will Sing in Recital
Mary Hobson Crow, contralto, is to be presented in recital by the School of Music on Friday evening, May 31, in the Touchstone theater. Assisting artists on the program will be Chitosey Na-gao, pianist, and William E. Stro-bridge, accompanist.
A graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, Miss Crow has spent the past few years in professional work both in this country and ln Europe. She is now studying with Horatio Cogswell, head of the voice department of the School of Music, working toward a bachelor’s degree In voice.
Among the prominent composers whose works are to be interpreted on the program are Handel. Brahms. Cesar Franck, Debussy, and Saint-Saens.
Final Organ Recital To Be Given Today
The concluding recital of the semester will be played in Bovard auditorium this morning during assembly period by Prof. Willard G. Smith, university organist.
Professor Smith will play four selections of varied types: “The —Prize Song.” by Wagner; "Serenade,” by Toselli: “Song of the Volga Boatman.” and Concert Overture,” by Faulkes.
Scurrying over the campus like the four footed carriers of the bubonic plague and other various uid sundry diseases. Editor William Roberts’ latest and maddest Wampus, titled “El Rodent.” will strike at highbrow and lowbrow, friend and foe, student and rounder alike —with special emphasis on Paul Bryan’s long-delayed El Rodeo— when it appears for sale this morning.
“Rats,’’ Says Roberts
"Never has a more heartless or more true-to-life parody on the college annual been seen in print,” declared Roberts last night. “I can truthfully say that it will be .he best Wampus I have published for some time—even with the illustrious line of previous Wampuses which have already made history.”
Twenty-four pages of rollicking, mirthful satire, starting with student body government and embracing fraternities, sororities, social activities, and campus honorary and professional groups, will be sold for the usual price of 15 cents. Photographs galore — protographs of graduating seniors; photographs of campus beauty spots: photographs of the Kappa Deltas’ r.ew sorority house; photographs of everything and anything that struck the fancy of young Jack Warner, local Mamoulian.
“Rats,” Says Robert?
Pure white jokes; a page in which the Wampus admittedly goes berserk and chooses the ten outstanding orchestras in the natio“<: and two pages in which the staff seizes a golden opportunity and praises itself highly for its noble work; all these pages, when added together, make 24 pages of tremendous creative effort.
When the salesman approaches you this morning, waving a multicolored magazine at you, don’t pass him by with a wave of the hand. Stop and buy one. It’ll be worth your money.
Troy To Dance, Dine, Frolic at Biltmore Bowl
Public Barred From Event: Jimmy Grier's Music To Be Furnished
Jimmie Grier, whose orchestra has played at the Biltmore bowl for over a year, will be leading his band tonight for fraternity men and their escorts in tradl tional dance.
‘Progress’ Will Be Subject of Cinema Dinner
With President Rufus B. von KleinSmid presiding, the second annual “Cinema Progress’ banquet of the Department of Cinematography will be held in the Social hall at 7:30 o’clock next Tuesday evening.
Arrangements for the program are U??ng made to include a discussion of recent outstanding films by motion picture directors. Richard Boleslawsky, director of “Les Miserables;” Anton Grot, art director of “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” and Gregory La Cava, director of “Private Worlds,” are to speak.
Sketches from the “Blue Bird Revue,” novelty performances presented successfully in Berlin, will be given under the direction of K. Shayne, European director.
Announcements for Seniors Selling Fast
Because only a few graduation announcements are left, Marie Poetker, cashier, asks those senior students who haven’t purchased theirs to obtain them as soon ..s possible. This will avoid the delay of a last minute sell-out and enable the book store to keep enough announcements in stock to satisfy the demand.
Chris Daniels, store manager, attributed the rapid sale of announcements and programs to this year’s design. The various cards are enclosed in a folder which is a new style in college commencement invitations.
Alumni Loyalty Need Stressed
Pritchard Tells Advantages: Monthly Review, Choice Seats for Sports
With senior class lead ers’ approval for the alumni association received. Larry Pritchard, assistant executive director of the general alumni association, yesterday recounted the graduate group’s advantages.
Alumnus Pritchard related how in Legislative council room last Wednesday, prominent alumni-to-be, led by Fran Cislini, president, unanimously declared that they would urge membership In the association to perpetuate the name of the class of *35 in S.C. events. Alumni Merits Told Prior to this declaration, seniors and “old grads” sat around a banquet table and discussed the merits of being a member of the association.
Said Pritchard: “Alumni are a vital part of any university. A man need not depart from his alma mater forever upon being graduated and never glance backward. The four years spent as an undergraduate form a connecting link between an alumnus and the Institution he attended.” Sentimentalities Retained In the association’s office in the Student Union, yesterday, he pointed out the various advantages, other than those of the retention of sentimental ties, which accrue to membership.
"Any graduate upon Invitation may join the alumni association by paying the yearly dues of $2.50. This payment entitles an alumnus to the monthly Alumni Review, choice of seats for athletic contests. and a discount on admission prices.”
The association keeps Its members informed of all university furctions and changes. Invitations are sent to thfm on such occasions as Homecoming and Spring Reunion, he said.

Downpour Hits Midwest Farms
Fields and Rivers Flooded; Turgid Rivers Swamp Homes and Crops
KANSAS CITyTmo., May 28.-(U.P)—Midwest farmers who hauled tangs of water for their stock in last summer’s drought today saw their fields turning to ooze and roads flooded out in a season of unusual rains.
Crews of maintenance men fought bank-full streams which tore at railway bridges. Many state highways in Missouri. Kansas. Oklahoma, and Nebraska were closed temporarily as downpours piled water over them faster than they could drain.
Residents F!ee
In southeastern Kansas and ln some parts of southern Missouri hundreds of residents of low sections left their homes before the threat of turgid streams.
Sheets of rain enveloped Kansas and most of Missouri last night, adding to the burden of streams already full from rains which in one month have brought precipitation for the entire year above the normal mark.
Corn Crops Delayed
Farmers already far behind in planting of row crops Were forced to wait for fields to dry before renewing planting operations. Com crops will be late in hundreds of counties.
Sections of Oklahoma which were flooded in cloudbursts a week ago again were under water. The unruly Canadian river went out of its banks at Norman, Okla., and destroyed a span of a mile long bridge on state highway 14.
Heavy Damages Result
Through a curious coincidence, the washout occurred as a squad car of Norman police was about to cross the bridge in cbase of a speeder who roared across just before the crash. The police stopped. The floods did heavy damage to lowland crops.
Flood waters spread over hundreds of acres of farm land near Burlingame, Kans. The flood threat was the worst since the same Switzer creek disastrously inundated the country in 1903. Many families fled to higher ground.

Advised by prominent Pacific coast educators, Nash decided to print a Vulgate Bible. In the effort to make this his outstanding masterpiece, he spent several month? "playing with type” until he found the style best suited for this undertaking. Hr finally chose 14-poin; Cloister light iare. which is said by many to be the most beautiful type ever developed.
Paper for the Vulgate Bible is being made by the Van Gelder Zo-nen mill in Antwerp. Belgium. Nash made a special visit a few years ago to be sure that his desired color tone wax being obtained.
