MARY EXHIBITS ETCHINGDISPL4Y Carnegie Corporation Art Col lection. Is Subject of Latest Exhibition. Etchings drawn from the Carnegie Corporation Art Col- ection is the subject of the ex hibition now displayed in the main entry of the general li brary building. This collection, v. ;ch is comprised of reproduc tions of paintings, sculpture, architecture, and textiles, as well as etchings, was given to the University two years ago. The small collection of etch ings is remarkably rich in ex amples of the work of many famous masters of the art, such as Seymour Haden, Maxime La- anne, Charles Meryon, and Whistler. Several etchings by men better known as painters, such as Manet, Cor ot, and Mil- et, are shown. Notable among the etchings displayed is one by Corot of his favorite woodland scene. Corot it better known as a landscape. painter than as an etcher. He did not commence etching until he was fifty, and his prints are rare and unusual. Interesting for its style as well as its subject is Felix Brac quemond's picture of teal. This etcher was famous for his etch ings of birds, and is said to em ploy a remarkably clear, decora tive style. The example of the work of Francisco Goya is taken from his bull fighting series, a subject which he was eminently well fitted by birth to illustrate as he is the great Spanish etcher of all time. , Especially worth attention are two pictures done by other methods than etching. One is a landscape by Richard Earlom, done is mezzotint after a picture by Claude Lorraine. Mezzotint is a form of engraving which employs some of the etching (Continued on next page) Student Federation Gains Recognition By John Lang The North Carolina Student; Federation has recently gained from the State Legislature a re cognition which that governing body accords only to the more outstanding . arid influential social organizations of the state. By special letters to the president of the State Student Federation, John Lang, the pre siding officers of the two houses of. the Legislature have an nounced that the Federation's formal protest to the Legisla ture against the proposed cut in the state's appro priation to its educational in stitutions will be given special consideration by the joint-committee on appropriations. Acting on behalf of the Fed eration's executive-committee, Lang recently dispatched to President Richard T. , Fountain, of the Senate, and to Speaker Willis Smith, of the House of Representatives, letters which requested that these officials an nounce to their respective houses the unalterable opposi tion of the students of North Carolina to any reduction in the state's appropriation to its in stitutions at this crucial moment in the history of North Carolina. These letters also informed these officials of the - legislature that there were 15,000 college students in North Carolina who were standing behind this pro- RED CROSS TOTAL PASSES$4,000,000 Total Raised By Subscriptions Of Local Chapter for Relief Fund Reaches $464. Colonel J. H. Pratt in charge of the Red Cross fund in Chapel Hill announces, that the sub scription has reached $464. The national fund has come to the total of $4,883,159. National Red Cross officials notified local workers that $1,300 has been allotted to drought sufferers in Vance County from the $10,000,000 fund now being raised through a nation-wide subscription cam paign. Judge John Barton- Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross, speaking over a national hook-up of the National Broad casting Company during the "dollier Hour" said in part: "Drought has worked a ter rible tragedy. One of its most sinister aspects is the difficulty of making people realize its full import. The President sensed this difficulty in his proclama tion calling for $10,000,000 for Red Cross relief funds, when he said : 'The familiarity of this situation, due to months of press reports of its progress, should not blind us to the, fact that it is an acute- . emergency, nor dull our active sympathies toward our fellow countrymen who are in actual want and in many cases will lack the bare necessities of life unless they are provided for "Drought presses slowly. There is nothing in it to quicken the emotions, unless one sees with his own eyes the gaunt hunger and hopelessness of those affected. But it has brought hundreds of thousands to the point of desperate need and the American Red Cross, which has coped with various forms of disaster for nearly fifty years, is meeting that need." Of Legislature test against the proposed cut in appropriations and who were ready on -short notice to support the legislature in any sort of progressive educational program that it might wish to adopt. In replying for the state sen ate, Lieutenant-Governor Foun tain displayed a most friendly attitude toward the work of the the State Federation, and he an nounced that he was personally referring: the Federation's re quest to the joint-committee on appropriations. In his reply, Speaker Smith of the house, besides showing the same consideration that Mr. Fountain did, said that he would be glad personally "to bear in mind" what the Federation had to say in this educational mat ter. V In its work to consolidate student opinion in the state against the proposed cut in the state's educational appropria tion, the State Student Federa tion has experienced a most en couraging co-operation from the students throughout North Caro lina. Most of the student bodies have used their college papers to work against the proposed cut, and many student organiza tions have formally drawn : up resolutions calling upon the legislature to continue the edu cational institutions of North Carolina in their course of pro gress and development. Carola Goya Dance Recital Opens Memorial Hall Tonight -9 Spanish Dancer r v . v -r f ? V Carola Goya, sensational young Spanish artist, appears here to night in a dance recital ' as the opening performance in the Uni versity's new Memorial hall. LYNN RIGGS TELLS DRAMA CLASS OF CREATING PLAYS Author Speaks to Professor Koch's Playwriting Class About Technique. An advanced theory of drama creation was advanced at Wed nesday's meeting of Professor Koch's playwriting class by J Lynn Riggs, author of Green Grow the Lilacs, current New York Theatre Guild sensation, who is spending a few weeks in Chapel Hill. Mr. Riggs, defining his at titude toward the material in his plays, said that the true dramatist was not one who ground out mere peopled plots in the familiar three-act mold or one who simply wrote accurately something he knew, but one who sets characters in motion and then hears them say and do things that astonish him and make him wise. " His conception of two per sons in a room, he cited as an example, is that they are never in accord and that the nature of the spiritual flow between them, when on the subject of some thing illuminating about human life, determines conflict and story. Riggs expressed the sen timent that an author, as he watches his people develop, had has nerve to get in their way. He then demonstrated how his method transcended the form that was nothing more than a true to life, sketch by resulting in plays that fairly got up and sang. Riggs announced that he gave full rein to his theory in pre paring the script of Green Grow the Lilacs,' which was an effort to recapture, in the simpliest of stories, the mood and feeling of a number, of old ballads. He told how some of the most important developments in the production surprised him mightily when they first loomed up in the writ ing. Thus, he added, a genius like Shakespeare must, have actually lived in a state of con tinual astonishment. The writer said that, when given the prescribed freed6m, a group of characters might, read ily indulge in the conventionally shocking, but said the only thing he personally considered shock ing was bad taste, and even that had its place. - ; " i ' - , ' 'U i , i X i - - SPANISH ARTIST HIGHLY PRAISED BY NEWSPAPERS Spain's Beautiful Propagandist Of Peace to Present Charac teristic Numbers. AUDITORIUM COMPLETED New Building Has Seating Ca pacity of 1800. Carola Goya, Spain's beauti ful ambassador and propagan dist of peace, is to present her series of authenic Spanish dances tonight in Memorial hall as the first performer on the en tertainment program for this year. Senorita Goya, after winning the acclaim of all the European critics, appeared before ihe New York public, and for the past year has been the toast" of the city. The New York American says of her: "Senorita Goya with her galaxy of bright cos- -tumes and her vivid dramatiza tion of moods was a tonic for the eyes. Hers is, a delightful art combining poetic movement, -ravishing coquetry and the ex hilerating throb of life in youth. To see her is to gain a new real ization of the beauty of the Spanish dance." Carola Goya made her first appearance in London before the King and Queen of Afghanistan. She ot only gave performances at the Colesium and Alhambra theatres in London, but she was chosen to dance at a charity, fund under the patronage of of Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of York, in the great hall of the ancient middle tern- pie, the only dancer to perform in this hall since the days of Queen Elizabeth. In New York she gave eigh teen recitals alone and with as sisting artists. Her last pro gram was presented at Carnegie hall. The New York Graphic is quoted as saying:. "The rhythms and steps of Miss Goya's dances in themselves allow for much variation, and the exquisitness of her costumes contribute in no small degree to her hold on the audience. But her gorgeous gowns would lose much of their effectiveness were they not graced and enhanced by a pro vocative smile, extreme youth and a body that even in repose would suggest imptuousness and spontaneity, and all the radiance and love of loving that Spanish gaiety and coquetry symbolize." Carola Goya brings to this country Spanish dances in all their native simplicity. All of her numbers, except certain ones of her own. creation accom panied by music of modern Spanish composers, are classical, flamenca, or folk dances whose steps and . rhythm have been familiar in Spain . for genera tions. In costume, in form and in mood Senorita Goya's dances reflect the life, the traditions and the art of the Iberian pen insula. La Libertad of Madrid expressed this fact most aptly when it said: "Carola Goya's dances are of extraordinary beauty, color and rhythm, and in the finest spirit of the tradi tional Spanish dance, which un fortunately is dying out even in Spain. She has caused a genuine sensation." Carola Goya's performance marks the opening of the 'new Memorial Hall, erected on ; the. site of the historic oldV one., The University has been without an adequate assembly hall since (Continued on next page)
