The asserted worship of a civil war general and the exploits of his confused descendants are featured in the newest production of SC’s drama department. The play, “Spring Again,” produced by William C. deMille, professor of drama, opened its three-day run last evening in Bovard auditorium.
The story is based upon Hal-stad Carter’s admiration for his dead father, the general. The statue-dedicating head of the family is cleverly characterized by Bill Chapman. and his lovable wife, Nell, by Kay Vaughn. The villainess of the story is Edith, Carter's daughter, who adds comedy and deviltry to the play by trying to break up the happy home. Mary Ellen Needles plays the part.
The producer, played by Jack Root, marine trainee noted for hi* comedy skits, is one of the best characterizations that Bovard audiences have witnessed, according to de Mille. Students agree that Root steals the third act.

Realism, imagination, and respect must be essential ingredients in our post-war good neighbor policy—and the greatest of these is respect, explained Dr. Hubert Herring, acting professor of Latin American civilization at the graduate school of Claremont colleges, to SC students yesterday.
The author who said “Columbus discovered America in 1492; residents of the United States discovered America in 1940, was absolutely correct, said Herring at the assembly honoring Pan American day, being celebrated all over the nation today.
We must have imagination and respect if we are to understand the South American peoples; realism in dealing with Latin America is another essential in sound and real good neighborliness, Herring said in urging recognition of vulnerability that gives those nations a “certain colonial character” to us.
Size, wealth of natural resources, poverty of the people, and political instability combine to make Latin America vulnerable to post-war exploitation, Herring warned.
“The Pan-American conferences held for so many years before the war turned out to represent nothing but economical interests of North Americans who were determined to export their products to the southern nations before Europe could monopolize their trade,” the speaker said.
Latin America will remain exposed to exploitations of this sort until her natural resources, vital to the prosecution of wars, are strongly held, he added.
Greatest danger to the United States inter-American relations is that they will become a partisan-politics football if “the Republicans turn against everything Roosevelt has done,” Herring predicted.
“Official Pan-Americanism” designed to protect Wall street’s Latin American interests succeeded Simon Bolivar’s “noble dream,” the speaker charged, criticizing Theodore Roosevelt’s “martial adventures in the Caribbean world.”
