CSO Sponsors Drive
For Sewell's Lighting
by Margarot Phillips
A drive to buy adequate light-
ing for the Sewell Auditorium
stage is being sponsored by the
Campus Service Organization.
This is believed to be the biggest
project of its kind in several years
and consequently requires the co-
operation of the othcr clubs pn the
campus for its success.
This project to cover present
needs is estimated to cost ap-
proximately $800. Lewis Fulks
believes a total of $1200 would af-
ford the department with com-
plete equipment considered the
best in this part of the country.
If all clubs contribute there will
be a total of $800 with various
clubs contributing $600.
The last lighting equipment
was purchased in 1947 and at the
time was not considered adequate.
Time and use have not enhanced
its value and Rex Kyker said
"If we arc going to offer first rate
training we need first rate equip-
ment." The light project could not have

pella chorus.
