FOR ALUMNI DAY

8 P. M. Are Biggest Events
of the Day.
Reunion Committee
Discusses Plan s
For Alumni Day
General Albert Cox Presides at.Meet
ing of Representative of All
Reuning Classes.
Elaborate plans are being executed
to make Alumni Day, Saturday, June
8, one of the main features of the
134th Annual Commencement. The
two biggest events will be the Alumni
luncheon at 1:00 p. m. and the Alumni
ball at 8:00 p. m., both to be held in
Swain Hall.
Mr. W. T. Shore, the Alumni pres
ident, will preside at the luncheon,
and short talks will be made by Pres
ident Chase, Judge F. D. Winston, and
several others. Places will be set for
over six hundred people, the different
classes being seated together. Wex
Malone and Al Kahn, the authors of
this year's . Wigue and Masque pro
duction, will be in charge of the en
tertainment which will feature skits
by some of the performers of the late
revue. Because of their excellence in
producing an amateur musical come
dy, the Wigue and Masque entertain
ers will provide the .amusement for
the visiting -alumni. The decoration's
of the hall are to be of the most color
ful and lavish type and should, add
much to the occasion. Music for the
ball well be furnished by the Caro
lina Buccaneers.
A new feature of Alumni Day will
be the extensive use of decorations on
the main street of the village. The
local merchants have offered to fix
up their store windows in the tradi
tional blue and white, the Carolina
colors. Various trophies of former
years are, to be displayed, and it is
likely that they will bring back many
brilliant recollections to the visitors.
Rondthaler Conducts
Psychological Test
Edward Rondthaler, senior student
majoring in the department of psy
chology has been conducting an
interesting experiment in . the psy
chological reaction of individuals to
different fonts of type. He has def
initely established the fact that the
kind and size of type used in adver
tisements gives a key to the type of
thing being advertised.
Forty-seven percent of those per
. sons answering Rondthaler's ques
tionnaire were of the opinion that the
specimens printed in light face and
ornamental types advertised clothes,
hosiery, stationery, etc. On the other
hand the answers most frequently
elicited by the heavier types were
cigarettes, banking, automobiles,
trucks, etc.
The same experiment was perform
ed on the nurses in the New York
Medical Center, the students of Salem
College and Salem Academy at Winston-Salem,
and the students of N.
C. C. W. In all cases girls and
women proved to be much more
sensitive to the different kinds of
type.
.aiding iconatnaier m nis experi
ment have been William Chapman, L.
C. Phillips, and Paul Patten.
Magazine Contest
Winners Announced
The results of the essay contest
conducted by the New Republic have
just been announced. The subject of
this contest was "College as It Might
Be," and the judges were Dr. Alex
ander Meiklejohn of the Experimental
College at the University of Wiscon
sin, Dean Max McConn of Lehigh
University, and Professor Robert
Mors Lovett of the University of
Chicago. '
Essays in the contest were received
from colleges and universities in all
parts of the United States and Cana
da, but the mid-western and eastern
districts submitted the largest repre
sentation. More than twice as many
men participated , in the contest as
women.
The judges had some difficulty in
choosing among several papers which
were exceptionally good. They finally
selected that of Mr. Howard Jay Gra
ham, graduate of Whitman College,
now attending the University of Cal
ifornia. Mr. Graham's essay appears
in the May 17th issue of the New Re
public. Other interesting essays sub
mitted in the contest will , appear in

to towns that could not be reached on
the regular tours. The group play
ed before four different audiences be
side the six regular performances
given in Chapel Hill.
Seven new plays were presented by
the organization. Although no out
standing new play came out of the
group, the productions were consider
ed well above the average.
At every performance in the Play
maker theatre standing room was
sold, an indication of the interest be
ing manifest. Many new students
were attracted to the organization
especially in the productions df An
Enemy of the People and Rip Van
Winkle. More than 100 students took
part in the Playmakers' work in some
way.
More interest was shown in the
drama and more people took part in
productions than ever before. Thus
the Carolina Playmakers bring their
eleventh season to a close, having
brought the drama closer to the lives
of the students of Carolina.
With Stymie Stimson, famed dra
matic director and critic who has
taken the Playmakers by storm dur
ing the last few weeks, as their honor
guest, the Carolina Playmakers will
bring their eleventh season to a close
Saturday night at eight o'clock in the
Playmaker theatre with the annual
caper. At this time in addition to
the party and good time, awards for
the year will be made. About 25 stu
dents are expected to receive awards
for meritorious work with the Play
makers this year. ; '
The caper proper will be in the form
of a play, "Punasuss," presented in
seven scenes. All the Playmakers who
are leaving will be featured in the
cast. The play itself deals with the
Playmakers in New York next year
where each will be doing what he has
long wanted to do, playing the role
that he always had a smouldering de
sire to play, but never got a "break."
Al Kahn is commander-in-chief of
the ceremonies and is writing the
caper. He says he is slinging the sa
tire unmercifully. All the produc
tions of the year, the whole staff, and
all the work of the organization will
come in for a bit of 'a takeoff. He
will be assisted in the presentation
of the play by Mary Margaret Russell,
Mary -Dirnberger, Pen Harrison,

writer, presents Tryon as an inven
tive service station owner in a large
city, who has devised a combination
auto-boat that is fuelled by electrictiy
or something, drawn from the air.
There is a pretty girl, the daughter
of a wealthy auto manufacturer.
There is a demonstration of the trick
auto-boat, with that craft doing odd,
weird things in a thrilling excitine
dash. There are humorous incidents
galore and a sensational wind-up, with
Tryon winning both a marvelous con
tract and the girl.
The sweetheart role in the picture
is played by Kathryn Crawford, a
newcomer to the screen. She former
ly was a musical comedy favorite and
was signed by Universal following a
successful season in a Los Angeles
playhouse, as the lead in "Hit the
Deck." She is heralded as a charming
and appealing heroine.
Others in the cast are Russell Simp-.
son, Lloyd Whitlock, George Chandler,
Joan Standing, Florence Turner, Vir
ginia Sale, Max Asher and Stepin
Fechit. In addition to the no-fuel
auto-boat, the picture contains a num
ber of ingenious and laugh-making
gadgets of the type for which Tryon
comedies are noted.
Another halarious Glenn Tryon
screen comedy is to be seen here when
"The Kid's Clever," the Universal
fun-maker's latest photoplay, is pres
ented at the Carolina Theatre tomor
row. It is promised as a worthy suc
cessor to such Tryon hits as "Paint
ing the Town," "Hot Heels," "The
Gate Crasher," "How to Handle Wo
men," and "A Hero for a Night."
William James Craft, who has di
rected most of Tryon's successes, al
so was at the helm in the making of
this new laugh-film. The story, an
original by Vin Moore, noted screen!
