Actress Ann Amouri
Moves Toward Goal
With Academy Study
Sophomore Ann Amouri will be
the first W. C. student ever to
study at the Royal Academy of
Dramatic 'Arts, London. England
Ann. who was one of ten selected
from a group of fifty candidates,
will enter the school in September
Ann is a native of Washington.
D. C, and while in high school j
there, she took part ln several i
plays and operettas. But she said
that she was really too busy with
her modeling career to give much
time to the theatre While at W. C,
she has starred in several Play-liker
productions.
Ann has looked forward to an
acting career since she was ten
years old. At that time she acted
m at least one production a year.
When asked about her future
plans. Ann replied. "When you are
in the theatre you don't know
where you are going." But she did
commit herself by saying she pre-fers
Broadway, and secondly, thc,
television world.
Her secret desire is to play Scar-lett
O'Hara. "I have read the
novel three times." she said. She
added that she had seen the movie
several times, also. "But I haven't
green eyes." she said

it clear that our life here is not
"grim reality," but is life as it
ought to be and as we should
strive to make It.
The spirit of student Interest in
the way the college is doing its
| job has permeated the entire stu-dent
body, said Dr. Graham. This
spirit is exemplified in the student
committee on general education,
the Carolinian and staff, individ-uals,
and groups.
Student's expressed interest in
general education during the year
helps to make the outlook hopeful
for realization of our 0oal of
emphasis on our common human-ity
and basic Individual liberty.

"If handled with thought and
initiative, the student curriculum

become a vital organ and channel
for student ideas." predicted a
member of the steering committee,
Sory Guthery.
The Student Curriculum Com-mittee
activated late in March
with representatives from twenty-odd
department functions to re-ceive
and discuss suggestions on
the improvement of courses. Its
steering committee consists of
Alice Irby, Louise Men. Arnoush
Harutunlan, Sally Copelan, and
Sory Guthery.
Although the mechanics of or-ganization
consumed a great deal
of the limited time, the committee
has succeeded In making some ac-complishments.
The committee is
permanent and Its leaders hope
that future committees will become
even more active.

To free their minds from end-of-the-

HYPOCRISY
In 1940 the fraternities tried to
remove the prohibition clause. The
University would never approve
any plans that would put it on
record as favoring or condoning
drinking Students called the sit-uation
"hypocritical." If the rule
were not going to be enforced, why
bother to keep it simply for the
purpose of pacifying the parents?
Louis Kraar. for Instance, writes
In another feature:
"Coeds do drink. One can see
that no rule can be enforced If
an Insistent minority refuses to
obey it. This has been the case
with Carolina's drinking rules from
