YWCA Prexy Rules Musical
by Christine McAlpin
Elected as the 1942 Helen of Troy,
Shirley Millikan, SC senior, will reign over the student musical production, “Neath Tommy Trojan,” to be given Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 as a sequel to this week's Homecoming activities.
Miss Millikan was chosen on the basis of personality, leadership, and campus activities by the YWCA of which she is president.	4
ACTIVITIES LISTED Sixteen attendants have been nominated from the sorority houses to serve during the coronation.
A men’s chorus will sing the student compositiori “Helen of Troy’’ composed by Roderick Krohn. This is only one of the 18 songs written by student composers for the student production.
Miss Millikan, Delta Gamma, has served as vice-president of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences and of Spooks and Spokes, junior 1 women’s honorary, in addition to being a member of Mortar Board,
Trojan Amazons, the All-U council, and the Associated Women Students cabinet.

Party Planned by Pan Americans
Members of the Pan-American league are celebrating the Thanksgiving vacation with a dancing party Saturday, Nov. 28. at the house of Virginia Carus, 1459 South Norton.
The party, which starts at 8 p.m., is an informal affair to which everyone interested in Pan-American relations is invited, and membership in the Pan-American If ague is not
leading soft drink companies by congressmen, newspapers, and the public. The attitude of the government toward this problem was brought out plainly last February when one of .the leading soda pop companies transfered a large tonnage of its reserve supply of sugar to the defense supplies corporation.
The chief of sugar section of the war production board has stated “The policy pursued through many years by large industrial users of sugar in developing and maintaining large supplies of sugar has proved to be very fortunate from our economic viewpoint, since it now provides an increase of this essential food which might otherwise have not existed when cur supply was cut off at ,the outbreak of the
Tommy Trojans Miss Vacation
by Ruth Crippen
Most of us are looking forward to four days of relaxation to celebrate Thanksgiving—these minus the worry of studying, term papers, and all things relating to school.
But not the poor unfortunate souls who are making final preparations for the presentation of the varsity production, “Neath Tommy Trojan,” they must spend most of two of these precious days in rehearsal for the show, according to Lynn Cohne, producer.
The varsity musical, which is student written and student produced will be presented next Monday and Tuesday evenings in Bovard auditorium.
CHARACTERS PRESENTED
Typical campus characters such as Charlotte Quinn, Bob McKay, and Sam Roeca will be featured in the production. With Nancie Sheldon portraying the wealthy, sophisticated college queen, Bob Reihle as a shy, romantic O and M worker, and Joyce Hill and Drum Major Tommy Walker as the comedy leads, the show promises to portray typical college spirit.
FIRST MUSICAL IN 10 YEARS
“Neath Tommy Trojan” is the first musical comedy to be produced in SC in 10 years. Much of the original music is being copyrighted. Trojans have heard some of these songs in the last few rallies.
The NROTC, varsity football team, and other campus organizations are cooperating wholeheartedly with the project, declared Miss Cohne. HELEN APPEARS
Because “Neath Tommy Trojan” is taking the place of the traditional Hi-Jinks, Helen of Troy and her attendants will be presented as part of the production in the coronation scene.
Tickets for the Monday night performance are selling out rapidly and there are not many left for Tuesday. The student response to the show has been very satisfactory, according to Miss Cohne.
Now on sale at the cashier’s window in the Student Union bookstore, tickets are 75 cents for reserved seats, and 50 cents for general admission. They may also be bought from any YWCA member or at the YWCA house, 36th street and
McClintock.
