MISS ENTERS GIVES
CHARMING PROGRAM
. «
Program Consists of Thirteen
Episodes Which Portray
Unusual Cleverness
DANCER OF WIDE FAME
In what was for most of the audi-ence
a unique and interesting program
Miss Angna Enters, a dance mime of
fame and favor both in America and
Europe, appeared in Ayeock auditorium
Saturday night, January 5. Original
versatile and sympathetic in all of her
interpretations, she furnished an eve-ning's
entertainment that waa interest-ing
more from the standpoint of pan-tomimic
artistry than the dance. Much
of her work could hardly be called danc-ing
in any sense of the word, and her
real and most striking talents seem to
lie in her fleeting, suggestive gestures
and faeiar expressions, through which
she conveys her meaning. (
Her chief appeal lies in the sympathy
with which she enters the roles of her
characters, for they might well be
called such, and the sincerity and hu-manity
which she gives them. She
office in The Daily Becerd building on'1 *"»»*■ «">» awrr« of"the keenness of her
observations op the mannerisms, trivial
but significant expressions of people of
all ages and classes. She does not ex-aggerate
those mannerisms, but to quote
Mr. Horace Shipp in the London "Saek-bert,"
"It is no burlesque, for burlesque
is too detached, and Miss Enters' work
is never detached; while she is on the
stage she is the girl of whatever period
she has assayed."
To liken her to anyone on the Amer-ican
stage today is to be unfair in the
comparison, nor can she be likened to
anyone who has gone before. Her orig-inality
stands out clearly throughout
her program, both in the choice and
range of her subjects for interpreta-tion.
Her cleverness was also quJte ap-parent
in her costumes, which were most
effective. Her program consisted of 13
episodes and pleased an unusua:'y large
audience.

Mr. Darrow/is thoroughly informed
on the subject which he will discuss. He
has been connected with some of the
most prominent court cases in the
eountry during his career as a lawyer,
usually appearing for the defense. His
part in the Scopes evolution case at
Dayton, Tenn., in 1925 and his work as
attorney for Loeb and Leopold in 1924
brought him into consisdserable promi-nence
throughout the eountry. Mr.

against monopolies in different sections
of the country.
The lawyer has been active in politi-cal

cussion - groups and business sessions
during a large part of the day. They
met socially at every meal and at
dances and teas arranged for them. In
general, one of the largest accomplish-ments
of the congress was the acquain-tance
of students from one vicinity with
thoae of another and the wide exchange
of opinion on every topic of student
interest.
This congress is the one official anrl

the United States during the year. The
Student Federation has developed in
true American style with the emphasis
in its first three years of existence on
organization. It is now, however, on
sound financial and executive basis, and
is at present busy with proving its use-fulness
in the student life of thn coun-try.
A president's office and a perma-nent
central office have been estab-lished,

N. 0. University freshmen seem to
be starting their college careers in a
studious frame of mind. Comparatively
few of them leave the campus for week-end
trips. In a recent survey of 400
freshmen, Dr. F. F. Bradshaw found
the following results: 102 freshmen had
been off the Hill at least one week-end
during the eleven of the fall quarter. Of
the other 800 youths, the great cross-section
of the class, there were 84 who
had been away one week-end; 88 two
week-ends; 21 four week-ends; and four
"Marco Polos" admitted that they had
been away ten out of the eleven. N. 0.

Mr. L. B. Hurley, of the English de-partment,
after several announcements,
made a short talk about the life and
works of Miss Angna Enters, the in-terpretive
dancer who danced in the
Ayeock auditorium Saturday, January

Anyone who is interested In taking

to report to Grace Hankins, Gray 283,
for further information and arrange-ments.
Lessons will not begin until the

Among the' noted speakers on the pro-gram
we're Dr. Beeves, of Ann Arbor,
president of the meeting; Dr. Charles
Beard, one of the foremost political sci-entists
and historians of today; aad Dr.
Glenn Frank, president of the Univer-sity
of Wisconsin.
Bound table discussions were held on
a variety of subjects such as the teach-ing
of government, political corruption,
political party organization, and organi-zation
of foreign offices. At one es-pecially
interesting round table in which
the power trust lobby was discussed,
Jordan King gave a full report on the
method of power trust control over cer-tain
university, college, and public
school officials.
Chairman Leach of the Chicago Crime
Commission made a very illuminating
report and explained in detail the po-litical
corruption in Chicago.
Miss Harriet W. Elliott of the Po-litical
Science Department of North
Carolina College recently attended the
National Political Science Meeting held Uudied in the beet schools in America
Bounding out a series of
ments of unparalleled excellency!
Hurley, chairman of the lecture com-mittee,
recently announced the coming
of Cornelia Otis Skinner, daughter of
the well known actor, Otis Skinner, in
a series of character sketches at Ayeock
auditorium Thursday evening, March 14.
This is one of the.two extra numbers
added to the college lecture program
since the beginning of the year.
Miss Skinner is an unique type of en-tertainer
in that she acts out little
dramas of life and love in such a way
that her audience is carried along with
her and forgets that the stage is bare
and that she is the only person on it.
Said the Adrian Telegram of the young
artist recently: "She cast a spell . . .
whieh required of her listeners a con-scious
effort of mind to remember that
the characters were not really there."
The sketches which Miss Skinner will
present are products of her own pen.
They range from the comic to the tragic
and are in every case acted out with the
skill of the true artist. Her charming
personality, her youth, and her dra-matic
fire combine to make her program
more enjoyable than many a play, it Is
said.
Miss Skinner is well-fitted by heritage
and training for her career. 8he is the
daughter of one of the most beloved
actors America has produced, has
and at Paris, and has had four years of
stage experience in New York and on
the road. Only recently did the young
artist depart from the legitimate stage
and present professionally to the Amer-ican
public the character sketches she
at first gave informally to a select cir-cle
of friends. In that short time she
has gained an enviable reputation as
public entertainer,

SOPHOMORES STRUT
DASHING JACKETS
By M. TAYLOR
The sophojnore .jackets have come.
They have been seen. And if the
sophs have anything to say about the
matter, they have conquered.
They first saw the light of day—or
night—Saturday evening at the dinner
hour. Ushering in the year 1980 with
an appropriate line of color, about 175
girls from the class of "31 marched
through the dining halls at that time,
singing class and college songs aat a
tribute to-their big sisters with a vigor
and pep that must'have beam truly in-spired.
Proudly they promenaded. Not
a shoulder sagged. Not a foot lagged.
For once the sophisticated sophs were

Since that time the red Jackets of the
the second year students have made
brilliant dots of color which add a
warm note to the eampps with its bare
trees and wintry atmosphere, plus the
greens and blues of preceding classes.
The coats this year are unusually smart-looking.
They are of dull red leather
finished with a belt aad have the col-lege
seal on the pocket
The present sophomore claas is the
first in the history of the college to
don their coats before examinations.
The question is, Are they a fast set or

On Saturday morning, December 15th,
a business session was held and new
officers were alerted for the coming
year. Mr. B. Stevens Creasman, of
Asheville High School, was elected pres-ident
of the association. Miss Grace
Curtis, of Greensboro, was selected as
vice-president Mr. Whitley, of Bur-lington,
was elected secretary and treas-urer.
The Maroon and Gold staff, the offi-cial
weekly publication of Elon College,
entertained the delegates very hospita-bly
with a program not very different
from that of the college association.
RUTH ABBOTT LEADS SERVICES
—"" C'"
^e Y. W. C. A. held its first vesper
service of the new year Sunday eve-ning
at 6;46 in the Adelphiaa Society
hall with Ruth Abbott as the leader and
Clara Pope-at the piano. The leader
read several selections pertaining to the
new year, after whieh she introduced
the speaker, Dr. E. D. Trueblood, dean
of men at Gullford college. .
The topic of Mr. Trueblood's interest-ing
talk was, "What Is Religions Ex-perieneet"
Mr. Trueblood introduced
his splendid speech by commenting
upon the almost universal skepticism of
the younger generation. The older gen-eration
throw up their hands in horror1
at the questioning of the most sacred
things by the youth of today. To them
it seems that every one throughout the
land is from Missouri in that they have
to be shown, according to the speaker.
He also went on to say how fast the ac-ceptance
of anything, religious or ether-wise,
was eoming to be based, not upon
blind faith, but upon results of long
and painstaking reasoning and Investi-gation.
At this point Mr. Trueblood gave this
very concise and meaningful definition
of religious experience as worked out
There were delegates from Asheville, by some of the greatest religious minds
Greensboro, Wilson, Raleigh, Mt. Gilead, I of all ages, as Carlyle, 8t7praneU of
Assjasi, George Pox, and William Blake:
"Religious experience is unity with
God." Then to answer the question
whieh naturally aroae in the minds of
his- hearers, that of "How to obtain
unity with God," he gave five .invalua-ble
stops toward this goal: (1) Unity
with the present generation, which may
be secured by thinking of one's loved
ones; thereby thought.of others whom
are unknown come to take on the same
nature; (2) Unity with all past genera-tions;
(8) Unity with all future gen-erations;
the second and third steps,
according to the speaker, can only be
climbed by realising that from time
immemorial and for all future time
people have experienced - and will ex-perience
similar emotions ©I love, hate,
fear, and the like; (*) Unity with all
animate things, as the simplest insects
and the "beasts of the fields;' Vhieh
