It is an attitude, an eager entertaining into the spirit of the thing. A blind enthusiasm is dangerous; to be safe and useful, it must be intelligent. But to be enthusiastic about a thing is to be more than merely intelligent about it, it is to be willing to do your part with a zest which minimizes the difficulties and overcome the obstacles which lie in the way. Enthusiasm—that is what Mary Currie was talking about in chapel last Saturday when she asked the student body to think of what they, as individuals, meant to Student Government, and what Student Government meant to them. Enthusiasm—that is what the S. C. A. needs in order to put the African Project across successfully. With enthusiasm, backing it, the Spectator Club could really be a broadening influence upon the Queens campus. And I. R. C., with the wholehearted backing of its members, could practically solve the world’s problems. Yeast—the leaven in the loaf which makes it eatable. Enthusiasm that important something which makes any undertaking successful. REFORM? As we glance over the activities of Queens-Chicora College, we truly believe that there has been a reform—a reform from the idea of jmtting off study to the realization that it is better to do the work each day, as it is assigned. Just before examinations, all forms of social activities were suspended, so that students who had not kept up with their daily work could spend hours preparing for their exams. Many of us have decided not to let this happen again, but rather to divide our time more equally between study and extra-curricular activities. Proof—we have noticed that the library is being crowded every night. In many cases, the reason for this is that stu dents are reading parallel day by day. This is a very good method, since it is often true that students, especially Freshmen, wait until the last minute to do it. Students are not only keeping up with parallel reading, but are trying to study enough to present a good class recitation each day There seems to be another reform—one of being alert in class and of leaving off day dreaming. After having been asked questions on exams that came from the professor’s lectures, it has been realized by all that one must certainly give her entire attention to what is being said by the teacher. If having to “cram” the night before an exam has awakened the Queens students to trying a new and better method of study, it may be a good thing that it was that way. We hope that those who have had made this good resolve will stick to it, and not drift again into slovenly methods of study when they forget how hard those exams were. Blues Editor Interviews Katharine Hepburn Here Dear Sally: Life is devastatingly dull here abouts now that exams have passed —or did you? Nevertheless, in spite of the slump, people still find some thing new and different to be happy about. Take Doodle. The other morning she unearthed a remarkable discovery—a doorbell at the entrance of Burwell Hall—can you believe it? I f you can’t go look for yourself, it’s there! More excitement—quite a flurry in chapel the other morning when one of our distinguished students took issue with the speaker. That old say ing about red hair must be true. Random observations — Glimpsed Sara Durant sporting an elegant three-quarter length skunk coat. She ooked ever so smart. Alice Wright Murphy is back after convalescing from appendicitis. The KD’s have really had a windfall late- y what with sickness and withdraw als. Zoe Strawn and Alice Wright, then Jennie Ann Efird, Marilyn Brittain, and Betty Shull have with drawn from the hurly burly of Col lege Life to the quiet seclusion of Social Butterflies! Dorothy Whitfield, Phi Mu alumna, announced her engagement two weeks ago, and Lois Hodges will be maid- of-honor. Giggy Brandon must be “Slinging the Bull” these days with somebody. She’s wearing a gorgeous Pika frat pin! Ditto Betty Gardner with a Beta Insignia. Davidson Mid-Winters coming up on schedule with Bunny Berigan as maestro for the occasion. Alice Wright and Giggy are upholding the alma mater’s social reputation what with sponsoring and all. A favorite ditty nowadays—“I See Your Face Before Me.” Listen for it, also catch Eddie Duchin on some of his broadcasts. He really has the smooth Band! nounced Saturday—the Upper Strata of the Institution, while we of the Backbone-of-the-Nation, the plod- alongs, and the proletariat wistfully regard J. M. Godard’s signature on the Dean’s List—goal of all, with voluntary cuts etcetera—not to be mercenary or anything! Well, life is still in a slump, so keep an alert ear hanging to the ground to catch something new and different for next time! Safety Warning of the Week: be ware of comic valentines—also, stray ghosts. Ever Thine, Cattie. Flash! Rhinoceros are possessed with very little intelligence and ex cruciatingly mean dispositions. “Is this what I’m paying $1,500 a week for?” was the first remark Katherine Hepburn heard when she stepped off the train in Hollywood five years ago. She had been travelling from New York for three days, and in the course of the trip a steel particle had blown in her eye so that it was bloodshot and half closed. Her manager greeted her with the above complimentary remark—that was her welcome to Hollywood! The irony of it was that she had gotten the steel in her eye trying to stall off bad luck! It seems that she and another young lady were in the diner, and Miss Hepburn looked at the new moon through the window pane. This was terrible luck declared the companion and dragged her off to the plat form to get a clear view. And then came the steel! Miss Hepburn declared she is through with superstition. Katherine Hepburn arrived in Charlotte Monday afternoon. The celebrated actress, accompanied by her mother, is en route from New York southwards for a short vacation before returning to Hollywood to start production on her forthcoming picture, Holiday. The brilliant star possesses the same magnetic personality in every day life that has won millions of admirers for her on the screen. The flashing smile, a quick toss of the head, the expressive gesture of her hands, all tell you instantly—this is Katharine Hepburn. She created an atmosphere of utter ease and informality, comfortably curling herself on the sofa while she chatted. Miss Hepburn expressed her opinion on many things, among them Donald Duck, whom she regards as “absolutely fascinating.” She con fessed she docs a marvelous imitation of Donald in the privacy of her own room. The subject of cartoons proved Miss Hepburn a good sport and the possessor of a real sense of humor. She told how, in a private theatre, while reviewing a picture, the projection man, to tease her, ran off an animated cartoon in which her head had been drawn on a donkey. “It was marvelous. I laughed for hours.” She admits she makes an excellent subject for caricatures because of the decided line of her features and prominent cheek bones. Questioned about her profession, the star said she began her career eight years ago on the legitimate stage. “I had lucky breaks when I started.” For three years she continued her work in the theatre, although offered many Hollywood roles. “I wanted a suitable part,” she explained. “I feel so much depends of a first impression. So many promising careers have been absolutely ruined in Hollywood. Bad casting.” Few realize that Miss Hepburn is part Southerner. Her father was originally from Virginia, a graduate of Randolph-Macon and Hopkins Medical School. He is now a surgeon in Hartford, Connecticut. Her grandfather was an Episcopal minister in Hanover County, Virginia. From a personal viewpoint. Miss Hepburn is a thoroughly attractive and cultured person. She is unaffected and modest about her achieve ments. She will tell you frankly she thinks Bill of Divorcement, Morning Glory, Little Women, and Stage Door were her best roles. She will tell you in an equally frank manner— “I have given some terrible performances—absolute flops!” The star is five feet, six inches tall and very slender. Her gorgeous The Privileged Few were an- copper colored hair was held in place by a black felt turban with open crown and full length veil. She w’as dressed in an elegant black skirt and tailored blouse of vivid green with her monogram embroidered on the sleeve. She wore French-heeled black suede sandals and carried an enormous black suede pocketbook. Laughingly she remarked, “If I lost my suitcase, I wouldn’t miss a thing. I have practically all by belongings right here, but I’m forever spilling everything on the floor!” To complete her ensemble, she wore a full-length mink coat. Miss Hepburn drives herself and likes to “hit right along,” and as she speeded southward Monday in high-powered convertible sedan, she left behind her pleasant memories.
