This Twosome Should Know
By JIMMY HARPER
How does it feel to be hypno
tized? Perhaps every one who has
heard of hypnosis has asked him
self this question. This week, a
Junior Playmaker gave us some
insight as to what it is like o
be under the spell of a hypnotist.
Toni Rochelle (the Playmaker
from High Point), now known
campus-wide as Marilyn Monroe,
last week volunteered as a sub
ject for Dr. Franz Polgar in his
hypnotism exhibition. The re
sults were a bit embarassing for
her.
Toni said, "A bunch of the
UNC Medical Professor
Attends Foreign Meets
Dr. Nelson K. Ordway, profes
sor of pediatrics of the UNC
School of Medicine, is taking part
in two professional meetings
outside the United States during
these two weeks.
,The first meeting, staged by
the Pan-American Sanitary
Bureau, which is the Western
Hemisphere branch of the World
Health Organization, was held
this past week in Tehuacan,
Mexico.
At the Mexican meeting, Dr.
Ordway took part in a seminar
on diarrheal diseases.
This coming week Dr. Ordway
will attend the Pan-American
Pediatric Congress in Lima, Peru.
At this meeting he will conduct
a seminar on fluids and elec
trolytes. Although having no knowledge
of the Spanish language, Dr.
Ordway will present a paper at
the Mexican meeting in Spanish.
He had his speech translated
from English to Spanish and has
learned how to pronounce the
words by listening to Spanish
phonograph records. The Lima
meeting will be conducted in
English.
Dr. Ordway joined the faculty
of the UNC School of Medicine
in 1954. Prior to this he was with
Louisiana State University School
of Medicine.
He received his M.D. degree
from the Yale University School
of Medicine after undergraduate
study at Yale, Ecole Intenation
ale in Geneva, Switzerland and
the University of Freiburg, Ger
many. He is a member of Phi
Beta Kappa and Alpha Omega
, Alpha, honorary scholastic fra
ternities. Dr. Jive

He moved on to Durham in a
short while, and there has made
a name for himself as the king

a modern jazz fan himself, but

kids said, 'Com'on, he can't hyp
notize us.' So I went up." Then
as an afterthought she added,
"Well, he could."
She went on to say, "He told
us that he wouldn't embarass us.
He didn't on stage. I didn't mind
doing the imitation of Marilyn
Monroe a bit. But now every
body looks at me. People I don't
even know will say, 'Walk for us
Marilyn.' And when I walk
through Lenoir Hall everybody
points their knives and forks at
me. It's embarassing."
Dr. Polgar attempted to cure
Toni of her habit of chewing her
fingernails. Of this she said, "I

Participating In Seminars
Lewis Ennis' Play, "April In
Called Beautiful Drama Of
' By SEAMON GOTTLIEB
While two of the student one
act plays tonight and tomorrow
night wallow in mediocrity, the
Playmaker production marks the
presentation of one of the best
student-written plays in several
years April in the Moon.
Moreover, it is a beautiful play
and one which should inspire
finer accomplishments by many
future student playwrights.
Lewis Ennis, both author and
director of April in the Moon, has
written a tender story framed in
fragile and moving poetry, yet
the action does not bog down in
the archaic phrases and twisted
clauses, one normally associates
with student attempts at poetic
drama.
The imelessness, remote set
ting, and poetic repetition all
suggest impressionism. For the
first time in two years, a drama
of distinction is being presented
at the one-acts; a play without
the usual barrage of proverbs,
cliches and you-alls.
Instead there is an original,
smoothly-flowing piece of crafts
manship which is fully" engross
ing despite a slightly overlong
exposition in proportion to the
rest of the play.
didn't chew my nails for the rest
of the night, even after I woke
up. But the next morning they
tasted fine." -
Asked about her physical feel
ings during the performance,
Toni recalled that when she was
going into the hypnotic trance
her hands felt like they "were
going to sleep." The next morn
ing her neck was stiff.
Toni gives the impression that
hypnotism is good enough the
first time, but she adds, "Never
again."
An interesting contrast to Toni
Rochelle, who is firmly convinced
that she was hypnotized, is
Elaine Hirschl, another of Dr.
Polgar 's subjects, who is just as
firmly convinced that she was
not.
In fact, Elaine has been a sub
ject for Dr. Polgar on three diff
erent occasions, and on none of
thse, she claims, was she under
any sort of a trance.
Elaine, who is to be remem
bered for her speech denouncing
long skirts, said, "I was with Dr.
Polgar here last summer and
with him on the Steve Allen
"Tonight" show. ,1 wasn't hyp
notized either time."
Asked why she volunteered
this time, she said, "I just wanted
to see if he could do it this time.
I just played like I was hypno
tized for the heck of it." ' Elaine,
a native of New York, is also a
Junior Playmaker.
Toni, the once-is-enough-girl,
is finding one blessing coming
from her experience. "I'm not
eating' too much nowadays; I
can't stand to go in Lenoir Hall
with all those people more than
once a day."
A different story is James
Poteat's southern monsterpiece,
A Bid Time Return, directed by
Philip Fischer. The script has
definite possibilities, none of
which were realized by the
author.
The characters are one dimen
sional stereotypes such as the
brash northerner, the delicate
maiden southerner and the weak
husband whose conversation is
limited to, "Oh Annie!!!"
Little motivation is furnished
for many of the characters, and
-Spare Gear-

for I know of no other place that
has the cultural advantages that
Chapel Hill offers and yet is able
to retain the small town atmos
phere so characteristic of the
town an atmosphere that seems
to create a feeling that you be
long here and that you are a
part of the community.
"The class system, so evident
in many smaller communities, is
not found here. Everyone is just
himself, whether he be a famous
author or a university freshman.
"I agree with Bill Prince.
Chapel Hill is the Southern Part
of Heaven."

Bishop Lauds 1954 Decision
Of Court In Speech Here
By BOB PACE
Speaking to about 300 persons
on the campus last Friday eve
ning, the Rt. Rev. Richard Am
brose Reeves Lord Bishop of
Johannesburg, South Africa
lauded the May, 1954 decision of
the Supreme Court, in which
segregation in the public schools
was declared "inherently in-
equal." Remarking that he was
sorry if he hurt the feelings of
any present, Bishop Reeves add
ed that he felt that it was the
clear teaching of the New Testa
ment that segregation on the
basis of race was morally wrong.
Certainly, he pointed out, the
The Moon,"
Distinction
many of the lines have no clear
meaning. But the worst crime
of this play is that it is simply
DULL. After finishing the script
one is tempted to ask, "So what?"
The final play, also by Poteat,
Midsummer Tonic, is harmless
but little more. The plot is rather
dated and the writing has little
originality, but there are" a few
amusing spots scattered through
out and some interesting charac
ters. The landlady the shy old
maid with a past and a fascina
ing little girl named Henry
could have possibilities for ac
tresses who can do something
with the parts.The success of
this play depends on the actors
and production which are under
the direction of Rose Lily Soller.
Featured in this play is Mrs.
Myra Lauterer who is making
her triumphant return to the
Playmaker stage at long last.
But the attraction of the eve
ning will be April in the Moon,
a play well worth the trip down
to the Playmaker Theatre to see.
And we will be looking for
more of Ennis's work perhaps
in the original full length play
contest held in the Spring.

Anglican Church emphatically
holds this to be true.
One of the most widely-known
bishops of the Anglican Com
munion of non-primatial rank,
Bishop Reeves recently gained
world attention when, speaking
from the steps of the Johannes
burg city hall, he declared that
he would neither obey nor coun
sel his people to obey the Native
Laws Amendment Bill recently
passed ' by the South "African
Assembly.
In this statement he has been
joined by the 13 other Anglican
Bishops in South Africa. The
Roman Catholic and Protestant
Churches with the exception of
the Dutch Reformed Church have
taken the same attitude.
The bill provides that any
individual or group of individuals
who are non-white can be de
clared "nuisances" by the gov
ernment and forbidden to wor
ship with whites. ,
Bishop Reeves is in the United
States under the auspices of the
American Church Union of the
Episcopal Church and the Epis
copal Churchmen for South
Africa. He came to the campus
under " the auspices of the YM
YWCA and the Summer Activi
ties Board of Student Govern
ment. i'
Prior to his Chapel Hill ad
dress, the Bishop made radio and
television appearances over
WPTF and WUNC-TV.
