Of Early University

el yesterday morning on "Re
miniscences of ChaDeFHilT . rw
Cobb has been a member of the
faculty of this universitv - for
thirty-nine years and Has been a
resident of Chapel Hill since
1880. -Even before that J time
Mr. Cobb often visited in the village.-
; - v :', . : ,
He related many anecdotes of
early days in Chapel Hill as well
as of life in the University. He
compared the treatment of
freshmen as it existed then and
as it is at the present time.
Many novel methods of hazing

the number of buildings at the
University and described them
as they were originally.

GAY MACIAREN'S
ART COBEIENDED
Minneapolis Artist To Appear
Blonday Under Student En
; tertainment Series.
Collegiate
Rah! Rah! Rah!
"For it's not for knowledge
That we came to college,
But to raise hell while we're
here."
Gay MacLaren, 'The Girl with
the Camera" Mind," will appear
here Monday under the auspices
of the Student Entertainment
Committee. - She will be the
third artist of the. season, and
will present an entire play tak
ing the parts of all' of the var
ious characters herself. Her
career began quite by accident.
, it was all because a little
round faced girl had told
Minneapolis school teacher
something so ridiculous that the
teacher laughed and her class
mates jeered. For davs after
wards the little girl was laughed
at, . but she kept on saying it.
She had been slipping off to a
theatre downtown where an
English company was giving
i tie bign of the Cross. Nfcht
after night she saw the play,
tnrilled by its dramatic power.
and then found that she knew it.
She made a Roman gown like
the heroine in the play wore.
made herself a cross and mim-
iced the whole cast of actors as
faithfully as a movie film can
do it.

NUMBER 11'
Business Firms To
Send Men Here To
Interview Seniors
Henry Johnston, Jr., of the
vocational department, has made
arrangements with several large
Business firms to send repre
sentatives to the Universitv to
interview members of the senior
class who wish to obtain posi
"ons with these firms. Those
have definitely agreed to
send representatives are Proc
tor and Gamble, W. T. Grant and
company, Standard Oil com
Pany of New York, and Du Pont.
A number of organizations
who sent representatives here
last spring find it impossible to
do so this year on account of the
Present economic depression.
Jfr. Johnston stated that from
ie present outlook it will be
uch more difficult for students
1 obtain positions this year
lflan last.
Members of the General
Wectric company who were here
Jjst fall said that this organiza-
was employing about one
rd the number of new. men
it does in ordinary business
cnditions. The Bell Telephone
cmpany which has -been' the
est source of employment
University students in the
Past has such , a reduced need
or new men that it has decided
curtail recruiting activities
tliJs spring.
Kendall Weisiger of the
thern Bell Telephone com-
fy in a recent letter to Mr.
ohnston urged that he advise
good men who cannot find
jtable Positions this spring to
etn to school next fall for the
fPose of rounding out their
cation.
One of the downtown stores
that boasts of a phonograph for
the entertainment of its patrons
was the scene of an impromptu
dance yesterday in mid-after
noon. The music was going full
blast and the three young ladies
who formed the nucleaus of the
crowd were getting a big "rush.
The gaiety had not continued
long before a crowd of the curi
ous gathered round. Soon a stag
line had formed and its members
were clamoring for a chance to
demonstrate their ability and
grace as exponents of the classic
ballroom dancing.
Those who gathered about the
edge of the floor were reminded
of college life as the movies are
wont to depict it, with "happy
young girls and boys constantly
enjoying themselves and a pho
nograph playing continually."
The crowd of curious soon in
creased to an alarming number
and the dancers, fearing the ar
rival of the fire department and
the police force, suddenly be
coming bashful (a virtue not
often found in college students)
broke up the affair by leaving.
The stags found themselves
alone . . . "Somebody stole my
gal."
Sonhomores Choose
Henry Dance Leader
At the sophomore smoker in
Swain Hall Wednesday night at
nine o'clock, Dave Henry was
elected leader of the sophomore
dance which is planned for the
spring quarter. He was elected
by a majority over Nutt Parsley
and Hilton Barber.
Soarks Griffin was chosen as
first assistant over Ted Newland
and Shady Lane, and Ben Cam-
Deri and Jim Hubbard will run
off ) the election for second as
sistant.
So when the teacher in the
Manning College of. Music and
Drama was slatting the senior
pupils for recital programs, this
girl just entering . her "teens"
said that she was going to give
The Sign of The Cross: The
teacher thinkingrto correct her
said that she" probably meant
some scene in the play and Gay
answered that she knew "the
whole play.
Her calm assurance convulsed
the class. It couldn't be done,
since no one had ever done it.
When Louise Jewell Manning
returned "from California, the
teacher in charge during' her
absence said, "You'd better do
something about that little Gay
MacLaren. She says she's going
to give a whole play for her
graduating recital, and a ter
rible tragic play that a little girl
doesn't know anything about."
The next day in class, Mrs.
Manning told Gay that if she
could give a scene from The
Sign of the Cross, to get up on
the stage and do it. Without
hesitating a minute Gay went
forward and gave the entire
act.
When asked whether she
knew any more of it she replied
that she knew it all and proceed
ed to give it. The Roman orgy
and the arena scene she repro
duced without knowing what it
all meant.
The papers carried long stor
ies about her, and she was kept
busy giving the play to as
tounded audiences. She had
never seen the book of the play.
The interhationallv
Ben Greet Players have been se
cured by the Carolina' Playmak
ers to give a "performance of
Hamlet," April 13. in Memorial
nan. .The Players have just
given a series of 200 perform
ances at the Garden Theatre in
New York City. All the lead
ing American universities have
been visited by the Players
many times.
Sir Philip Greet has been on
the stage for fifty years and has
taught more actors than any liv
ing man. He is noted all over
the. world as one of the greatest
authorities on the English
drama. His Shakespearane pro
ductions have set a standard
both in England and America.
In recognition of a life devoted
to the cause of drama in edu
cation, he was knighted by
King George V, of Enerland. in
June, 1929.
Sir Philip has schooled his
actors in the forgotten art of
speaking7 words. When his
actors speak, it is easy to un
derstand the words and their
meaning. This splendid ' actor
and his brilliant cast of English
players are returning to Amer
ica in response to insistent
demands of leading universi
