GRAFF Play Scheduled For Outdoors The Carolina Playmakers will cli max their 26th season with the Forest Theatre production of Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale" on May 19, 20, and 21. "The Winter's Tale" is a comedy and is one of the last comedies Shakespeare ever wrote. . Although a fine drama really, it has not been produced often because of the difficult change of scene; the action jumps from Sicily to Bohe mia and back to Sicily, and the lapse of 16 years between the third" and fourth acts. The Playmakers, fortu nately, have the main stage and the two side stages of the huge Forest Theatre for the multiplicity of settings. The Story Goes The play tells the story of Leontes, King of t Sicily, who, obsessed by the suspected infidelity of his queen, Her mione, loses everything dear to him for over sixteen years. He suspects Polix enes, King of Bohemia and his boyhood friend, of being in love with Hermione, when Polixenes prolongs his visit at the insistence of the Queen. .Leontes plots to poison Polixenes, but Camillo, friend to both of them, .discloses the plan and Polixenes escapes of Bohemia. His suspicions confirmed by Polix enes' flight, Leontes publicly proclaims Hermione an adulteress, and disowns her newly born daughter.

Gisli decided he, too, would go to school at Chapel Hill, after he talked to but one Carolina graduate, Porter McKeever, press attache, at the American Lega tion in Iceland. Born April 5, 1923, in Reykjavik, the capital city, the blond Nordic with the not-so-cold blue-gray eyes has been a student at the university since Janu ary, 1943, studying journalism. Due to war's little inconveniences, his trip to the United States took about 20 days instead of the usual seven or eight, but Gisli finally landed in New York where he ate roast leg of lamb for two weeks. He didn't know how to ask for any thing else. Fake Movie Gisli's first night in New York wasn't spent at a night club, but in a movie theater where the picture "Ice land" was currently showing. Coming out of the movie house, he met a friend he had said goodbye to a few weeks be fore in his native land. Still shaking his head over both the meeting and the picture, Gisli enlightens people to the facts that the film holidays were Swed ish, the dress Norwegian, and that the characters were shown ice-skating in July, which just wouldn't happen. Gisli still has an accent and a fetch- BARBARA SWIFT, the second coed to be named for Carolina Mag editor. SEC PresentsfN. C.

See UNITED PARTY, page 4 Icelander True To UNC Rivalry to that country from Norway in 874 by Iceland's parallel to our more recent Mayflower venture. The dialect on the island has remained so uncontaminated and unchanged that these days a Nor wegian and an Icelander cannot con verse in it as a common means of ex pression. Asthorsson says Iceland isn't as cold as its name implies, and he's never met an Eskimo. (They browse around Greenland, if you're one of the unin formed.) Skiing and ice-skating are favorite sports, with soccer running a close second as the main summer game. The aurora borealis (northern lights) is a taken-for-granted occurrence, but, quoting Gisli, "You just can't describe it, it's so beautiful." He has seen many of those days you read about, during which there are 24 hours of light, with no night to mar the day. Iceland's houses are usually con structed of timber or concrete, about two stories high. He doesn't recall ever having seen one more than five floors in height. Iceland has automobiles, but not nearly as many as the United States. Dancing on the little North Atlantic island is done to the' tune of our popular pieces, perhaps a year af ter their introduction here. "There Will Never Be Another You," and "I Had The Craziest Dream" should be coming into their own about now. Population 120,000 With its 40,000 square miles, Ice See ICELANDER, page U '' t "
