Ruth St. Denis and Troup Will
Exhibit Latest Creations At
8:15, On Gridiron.
WILL BE SPECTACULAR
Ruth St. Denis ' and her fam
ous troupe of dancers will ap
pear here tonight at 8 :15 in the
Kenan stadium under the aus
pices of the Carolina Playmak
ers and the American Associa
tion of University Women.
. In a program of solo and en
semble dances, embracing: only a
few of the numbers which, have
been especially popular in the
. past and which would be sorely
missed if they were omitted, the
famous dancing, star will exhibit
her latest creations. .. '
A notable novelty by Miss St.
Denis will be the "Bas-relief
Figure from Angkor-Vat," the
inspiration for which was gained
when she visited the city aban
t doned hundreds of years ago by
the vanished race of Kymers, but
which still ranks with the fam
ous temples of India and the
pyramids of Egypt among the
architectural wonders of the
Eastern world.
' Another new number will be
the visualization of a Tagore
poem, in the course of which
Miss St. Denis will speak the
poet's exquisite verse. She will
offer a Tanagra figure to music
of Schumann and a beguiling
Rubinstein waltz, in addition to
-dancesv?iuf - India7JayaV'uJ apah;
Chifta and Cambodia, bringing
the program to a close with . a
colorful spectacle, a scene in an
East Indian bazarr, supported
by the entire company.
For once the many local ad
mirers of this great artist will
have an opportunity to see a
comprehensive list of her finest
creations in a single program.
Even then they , may cry for
more, for according to the Los
Angeles Times after a recent re
cital by Miss St. Denis:
"There were precisely nine of
her solo dances with lovely frag
ments for encores, but there was
not enough of Miss St. Denis.
She is a thousand women. One
feels that she could go on for
ever picturizing lovely, evanes
cent, changing, adorable femin
ity." - -
Assisting her will be a new
and youthful group of Den
ishaw'n Dancers who will exhib
it a series of ensemble numbers
never seen before, since they
present the latest conception of
the creative genius of America's
greatest dancer.
An unusually large crowd
from all over, the state is expect
ed to attend the performance to
night because of the internation
al reputation of Miss St. Denis
and her dancers. Admission
prices will range from $2 for
reserved seats to 50 cents for
student tickets. ;
Correction
Ed Hedgepeth, graduate of
the University, has written
the editor to correct a state
ment carried in press dis
patches to the effect that
Carolina men at the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania were in
volved in a recent riot.; Ac
cording to Hedgepeth no
Carolina medical student was
involved, the riot being con
fined to members of the un

SPARROW'S POOL
ATTRACTS MANY
Sun-Bathers and Swimmers Put
ting In. Long Hours At
' Favorite Retreat.'
(By Hugh Wilson)
Mrs. Sparrow, proprietress of
Chapel Hill's sole bathing em
poriumall kinds of baths, both
shower, pool, sun and mud baths
being available, generally in the
foregoing order has made some
new installations recently in or
der to attract still more of the
bathing fiends to her already
large patronage. The addition
mentioned is the installation of
a new and modern springboard,
which has already attracted
great attention and favor from
the divers and incidentally
from those who like to sun them
selves on the edge of the pool
and are disturbed by the tidal
waves thrown lip by various and
sundry., high divers ! -.
This is the seventh year that
Mrs. Sparrow has been running
the, pool, and if the patronage
of the persons who . daily seek
refuge from the heat in its cool
waters is to be taken as a cri
terion, it is one of Chapel Hill's
most popular institutions. Cer
tainly with the Chapel Hillians
themselves, and also with those
unfortunates who attend sum
mer school here, Mrs . Sparrow
deserves credit as a philan
thropist. This year, as usual,
the crowds have been large, six
or seven hundred people a week
paying the required and very
nominal two-bit fee to v cool
their perspiring skins in the
water. The fame of the pool has
even spread so far as to reach
Durham, several water fans
coming over from the Bull City
each week for a swim.
- Mrs. Sparrow says that the
attendance has been very large
ly increased in the last couple of
years with the advent of the sun
tan : craze which has swept the
country so recently, causing the
manufacturers of women's sum
mer clothes and bathing suits
so much anguish. It is even
rumored jthat this craze was the
cause of several aviators having
crashed into the roofs of build
ings in larger eastern cities,
they haying forgotten to steer
their planes because of what
they saw when they approached
too close to the buildings. At
the poo1 there are several tables
which may be used quite appro
priately by picknickers. Sad to
say, however, these tables are
more frequently used by the sun
bathers. In addition; to these
facilities for baths in the sun
and pool, there are showers in
the dressing, rooms, and if one
likes a; mudfcath, .there ,are al
ways' a lot of playful gents there
to accommodate V sometimes
previous to one's wishes!

sets, ail those who ; are not ac

Taft Reminisces On Progressive

o
Prominent Sculptor Is Greatly Impressed With Unusual Beauty
And Individuality Of University; Considers Institution .
Foremost In Fields of Research and Drama.
According to Lorado Taft,
who has been staying at the resi
dence of Dr. J. P, Harland dur
ing his three-day sojourn at the
University, many changes have
taken place in the community in
the past eight years. It has been
that long since he last appeared
in Chapel Hill. Since then the
streets of the town have been
paved, many new buildings have
been "built, and the University
has risen to the front in the fields
o
of research and drama.
The great sculptor, hailed in
many, art circles as the world's
greatest, was greatly impressed
by the natural beauty of the
campus. "It is very rare," he
said, "that one finds a state uni
versity of such beauty. They
usually grow up according to the
dictates of economics, and the
University of North Carolina is
blessed with such individuality."
However, he expressed great
surprise upon learning that the
University had no art depart
ment. "It is very unfortunate,"
he said; "you are practically the
only university in the country
that does not have such a divi
sion." Moreover he expressed
his opinion that even in such a
practical science as engineering
free-hand drawing is always a
great aid.
"To understand art is to widen
one's appreciation and, conse
quently, enjoyment. That is why
I am striving so hard to lay more
stress upon this line in colleges
throughout the United States."
The main difficulty, in furthering
art in American- he said, is - the
scarcity ; of I: people .really ac
quainted with, the craft. Through
education this condition can be
remedied.
Tne two main ambitions of the
great sculptor , are the creation

of a . great art museum and the
completion of his idealistic sculp
tural project in Chicago. The
Utopian museum, which he fre
quently mentions in his lectures
throughout the country, would
consist of several long aisles,
each containing a nation's art
arranged in historical order,
with trancepts cross-cutting the
corridors: representing the dif
ferent periods of history. In
his lectures he is propagandaiz
ing for the realization of this
ambition, he admits. .
The great figurative groups
he has undertaken in the mid
way district of Chicago will be
one of the greatest art treasures
of the world. One of these
groups has already been com
pleted This is the mammoth
statue of the Father of Time,
which stands at the western ex
tremity of the Midway and is
effectively silhouetted against
the setting sun,: At the eastern
end of the commons, he contem
plates a corresponding group
symbolizing the creation of man
With , intense anticipation he
looks forward to the completion
of -this highly idealistic piece of
Archaic sculpture, which will not
be affected in form because of
its mythological subject, "Deu
calion and Pyrrha," not the or-
dinary Adam and. Eve material.
i
With excusable pride Mr. Taft
spoke of "his Chicago." This
city he predicts, will sometime
in the near future be the cen
ter of the Worlds "It is a city of
destiny," he repeats,' According
to the. great sculptor the World's
Fair at Chicago in 1933 will do

Fleece Initiates
The Order of the Golden
Fleece initiated its nine new
members on Tuesday night in
a secret ceremony held at an
unknown location. The new
argonauts sighed with relief
yesterday as they felt the
strain of the anticipated initi
ation over, although they ap
peared a bit sore and sleepy.
No longer do they have to be
in their beds by 10:30 or do
any of the other "severe" re
quirements demanded by old
members. They are now ready
to embark on their "quest for
the Golden Fleece" as Jason
and his Argonauts did in the .
famous Greek legend.
The following were initiat

NUMBER 176
NATIONAL HEAD
ENDORSES STATE
STUDENT GROUP
N. S. F. A. President Writes
Lang" Supporting Newly
Formed N. C. Federation.
Within two weeks after its or
ganization, xhe North Carolina
Federation of Students has at
tracted the attention of many
student governments and feder
ations throughout the country
and has also become actively en
gaged in helping two student
governments of this state settle
some very grave problems in
their, respective student bodies.
John Lang, president of the
state student organization, re
cently received a letter from Ed
R, Murrow, president of the
National Student Federation of
the United States, in which He
gave his hearty endorsement and
support to the student move
ment in North Carolina. More
over, President Murrow pledged
the undivided support of the
national federation to the state,
movement. In, his letter to Lang,
President Murrow announced
that the national federation was
so interested in the state organ
ization that it is sending him
from his home in the state of
Washington to North Carolina
early in June to interview Lang
in an effort to harmonize the
work of the two federations.
: . Lang . has . recently received a
letter from the vice-president of
the Southern Federation of Stu-
dehts4jlednghim the support ff
of that organization in his work
in North Carolina. Many fac
ulty, membersi and students in
this state and elsewhere have
been writing to the officials for
irif ormation about the state f ed
eration and there seems to be,
a general note of approval in all
of these letters of the start that
the student movement in North
Carolina has already made.
Officials of the federation are
considering a number of plans
by which they hope to strength
en and improve the organization.
Possibly the most important of
these new plans is the one by
which they are hoping to plant
student government to some ex
tent in the high' schools and
preparatory schools of the state.
A campaign for reciprocal ath
letic tickets for the college stu
dents of the state has also been
planned. Less hissing and boo
ing at athletic contests will form
another policy which the federa
tion is going to urge. Finally,
a campaign for junior college
members for the federation is
going to be waged next fall.
President Lang has called
a meeting. of his executive com
mittee at Chapel Hill txfeonvene
early "next fall, at which time he
hopes to be able to outline a most
useful and enective program lor
the" state student federation
during, the coming year?
