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. .♦.

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 tional gathering of student leaders in 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.

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. 0. W. freshmen are probably green with envy. On Friday, January 47 at the regular chapel hour the student body met in the Ayeock auditorium. Dr. Ceilings, of the Health Depart-ment, made a short talk cautioning the students and giving them advice con-cerning health measures that should be taken during the influents epidemic. 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 5. He-said thst this was Miss Enters' first continental tour and that she was one of America's best dance mimes. Mr. Taylor made an announcement relative to the play Saturday night and Mr. Bates, of the Music department, with Luna Lewis accompanying at the piano, led in the singing of the final song. '^. DR. BARNEY HONORED BY LANGUAGE ASS'N RIDING IS TO BECOME UTESTSPORTATN.ee. Instruction Will Be Given at Sedgefleld for the Girls Wha Are Interested Many of the students have been won-dering why borse-back riding is not of-fered to N. C. C. girls. Through the Sedgefleld Academy, opportunity for in-struction has now been provided. A very competent instructor will give les-sons at the very reasonable price of one dollar an hour. While this will not take the place of the regular gym classes, it is open to every girl. Anyone who is interested In taking advantage of this opportunity is asked to report to Grace Hankins, Gray 283, for further information and arrange-ments. Lessons will not begin until the second semester, but it is necessary to get registered before examinations be-gin. in Chicago December 27, 28, and 29. 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, ELON COLLEGE IS HOST TO HIGH SCHOOL PRESS 1 • '■ Leading- High Schools of State Send Delegates to Press-Convention fa December The North Carolina High School Press Association convened at Elon College December 18th, 14th, and 15th. NUMBER 18 THE CRADLE SONG" WILL BE PRESENTED ON SATURDAY NIGHT ———- Theme of Next Play-Liker Pro-duction Is Love of Nun for Foundling MARGARET SCOTT STARS Sierra Is Popular Spanish Author—Sev-eral of Hta Playa Have Had Bane on Broadway » "The Cradle Song," the play, that was to have been given by the Play-Idkera on December 16, the Saturday night before the Christmas holidays, will be given in the auditorium on Saturday evening at 8:30. No change in person-nel or scenery has been made from the production as it was originally planned, Margaret Scott, from Gastonia, wHI Pl»y the leading role, that of Sister Joanna of the Cross, the nun whose-pent- up love for the foundling forma the theme of the play. . The other out-standing parts will be played by Kath-erine Morgan, of Salisbury, as the orphan girl; Dorothy Edwards, of Wil-mington, the Prioress; and Vera Buck-ingham, of luyetteviUe, the Viearesa. The play is unusual in that all of the leading characters are wemen, since the action takes place in a convent. The play is intensely modern, albeit the story is one of convent life, with a simple theme. Sierra is one of the most popular contemporary Spanish playwrights. Many of his plays have been translate* into English, wh** sev-eral of theaW&.ve been present* on Broadway. Ethel Barrymore hr-using his "Kingdom of God" for her first pro-duction in her new playhouse, the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. The cast and the other people eon-nected with the staging of the perform-ance have been working assiduously, both before and since the holidays, so the Play-Iikers expect this to be one of the most beautiful and most success-ful they have ever put on. Tickets will be on sale at the box office on Saturday evening; they may be obtained at other times from Virginia Kirkpairiek. MR. TRUEBLOOD SPEAKS ON RELIGION AT VESPERS —■— , "What Is Religious Experiencer* la Subject of Interesting Talk by Dean of Men at Gullford At a meeting df the South Atlantic Modern Language Association held in Atlanta, Ga., during the holidays, Dr. W. 8. Barney, of the N. C. Romance Language department, was ejected pres-ident for the coming year. Miss Helen Garrett, of the same de-partment, was also a delegate at the meeting. 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 *he whole show. 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 is it just their up-and-coming spiritf Ask the sophs I Kernersville, Burlington, Lumber ton, and other leading high schools of North Carolina. 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 The A. aad T. gJee club will sing la vespers Sunday night at 8:45 la Students building. 1 (Continued on Page Two)

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. 0. W. freshmen are probably green with envy. On Friday, January 47 at the regular chapel hour the student body met in the Ayeock auditorium.

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, ELON COLLEGE IS HOST TO HIGH SCHOOL PRESS 1 • '■ Leading- High Schools of State Send Delegates to Press-Convention fa December The North Carolina High School Press Association convened at Elon College December 18th, 14th, and 15th.

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 *he whole show. 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 is it just their up-and-coming spiritf Ask the sophs I Kernersville, Burlington, Lumber ton, and other leading high schools of North Carolina.

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 The A. aad T. gJee club will sing la vespers Sunday night at 8:45 la Students building. 1 (Continued on Page Two) |
