Kemp is a tragedy with the setting
in Florence during the year of the
great plague in the fourteenth
century. The theme of the play is
the love of the poet Florio for the
beautiful Olivia. Conflict is afford
ed by the extreme jealousy of the
Lady Violante* Ugolini, Florio’s
erstwhile love.

The week of March 6 saw sev
eral speakers of note ascend the
chapel platform and address the
students. Of the talks and pro
grams delivered three are espec
ially worthy of note. Dean Lee
spoke on Monday to an apprecia
tive audience on “Opportunity.”
“Life itself is opportunity,” he
maintained. “People miss too much
because they refuse to look. High
er things remain to be done than
are now done.”
We are living in an age when
opportunity is greatest, he assert
ed. The opportunity to ge great
was never greater.
Describing a man’s worth to the
world as .equal to “the industry he
gives to his work,” he extolled the
students to keep their faith, hope,
earnestness, and courage in life
and remember their aim in medi
tation.
“Let a man have faith, and op
portunity to obtain his end start
like buds in the kiss of spring.’^
He advised the students not to
be content to grow alone in one
field, but to grow physically, men
tally, and spiritually.
Addressing the students, March
4, I. C. Martin, of Asheville, help
ed them “get a vision of life.”
He stressed the harder side of
life and the chaos existing in the
world today. He wanted to show,
he explained, the difficulties which

Reporter Reports on
Student’s Radios
Records Findings In Field of
Listeners; Likes and
Dislikes.
By John Crisp
At the mention of the word “ra
dio the mind and imagination
conjure up numerous and various
thoughts and scenes. The reasons
for these are the widespread range
and many associations of the ra
dio. With the mere twist of a knob
the listener can change the scene,
the actors, and the subject. Enter
tainment and amusement pro
grams are comparatively well bal
anced by the programs of enlight
enment. Presentation of the news
of the hour and special programs
of political and historical interest
are only a few of the many uses of
radio. Many of the commercial pro
grams present unusual and even
startling personalities to their un
seen audiences. Through all these
music is sprinkled to form a per
fect radio meal for cosmopolitan
America. It ds from many pro
grams similar to these few that
Mars Hill students choose their
favorites.
Fifty per cent of the time spent
in front of the radio by M. H. C.
students is taken by musical pro
grams. These musical programs in
clude every type of music from
symphony (Philadelphia Philhar
monic’s programs especially) to
“swing” music by such recognized
masters as the Casa Lomas, Gus
Arnheim, the brothers Dorsey, or
even Benny Goodman. Glen Gray

Olivia is stricken with the
plague, but by a double miracle,
she lives and is still beautiful.
Violante, in a frenzy of jealousy
and confident that Florio loves
Olivia only for her great beauty,
taunts her into testing his love by
telling him that the plague has
robbed her of her beauty. Florio,
having truly loved her, and wish
ing to remember her as beautiful,
destroys his eyesight.
Florio is played by G. G. Mor
gan, Olivia by Frances Ward, and
Violante by Rebecca Hopper. Mar
ian Sprinkle plays the part of Liz
zie, Florio’s aged servant, and Hu

Presenting Haynie—
The Reformer
Foremost among campus leaders
is Howard Haynie, general ath
lete and gentle student, whose re
form movements among students
enrolled here has brought him re
nown and attention from all who
have seen the great reformer in
action.
Not just sure what “ism” he ad
heres to, Mr. Haynie was reluc
tant to give a statement to the
pxGss 3,s to ths methods he em-
ploys in fighting the many great
evils of the campus that offend
his orthodox soul. Never let it be
said, however, that the staunch
progressive, scion of the hills, is
saturated with fear of newshawks,
for that is erroneous. It is modesty,
so characteristic of reformers,
such as William J. Bryan, and
others of such fame, that keeps
this great leader from cutting un
usual capers, or organizing sit-
down strikes, to attract journalis
tic attention.
His soul heavy with the burdens
of the students, Mr. Haynie on his
way to the operatic outburst, call
ed “April Romance,” shown here
Saturday evening, had Ms thoughts
