Year before last they went as far as Boston, where they were received by Governor Frank Allen at the Massachus etts State House. In Boston, they presented their bill for two successive nights in the Fine Arts Theatre. The Boston trip was one of the longest tours ever taken by the Playmakers.

The following year, they went as far as New York City and Plainfield, New Jersey. Since 1927, the Play makers have presented pro grams annually in the MacMil lan Acadamic"Theatre of Col umbia University.

MacNider, of the school of medicine, speak ing in cjiapel yesterday, said that the South needed to get some ideas of its own. Deplor ing mass thought, Dr. MacNider stated that the University has grown rapidly in. the last few years and seems to be losing its individuality. He made refer ence to the book written by Will James, the well-known phychol ogist, entitled "The Will to Be lieve," and wished that someone in the South would write a se quel to this work called "The Will to Do." The advice that he gave the students was to put thought into operation by the use of will power. Louis Pas teur, the famous expert on the treatment of rabbies, was point ed out as an example of a man with an idea who had the will power to put his idea into opera tion. .Preparation Begun On French Contest Dr. J.

NUMBER 123 ENTERTAM.IENT comtee adds qdartodan(m Kedroff Quartet and Angna En ters Scheduled on Program For Next Quarter. The entertainment committee has two more programs to offer the students during the spring quarter. The first of these pre sentations will be the Kedroff Quartet, March 31, and the sec ond, Angna Enters, an inter pretative dancer, April 7. The committee is at present trying to get Velma Kline, pianist, to play for another number, but it is not yet known whether there is enough money to do this with. All last quarter an attempt was being made by the committee to get the Ben Greet players here on the pro gram, but no suitable date could be arranged, and the matter was finally dropped. Now, however, the players find that they will be in this section of the country, and since such earnest efforts were made to get them here they have agreed to come here March 14 under the auspices of the .Playmakers. They would have come on the entertainment committee pro gram but for the fact that the program is now closed. The Kedroff Quartet is a Russian organization and has been prominent since 1897. Few nations can claim such wealth and beauty in folk music as Russia, and it was the beauty of this, music and the idea of as sembling and popularizing these melodies that inspired the or ganization of the quartet. N. N. Kedroff started the group and in 1910 was joined by his brother G. N. Kedroff. The other two members, I. K. Den issoff and T. F. Kasakoff, joined in 1920, and these four have been singing" together ever since. They are far famed in their own country and are favorites with the emperor who has given them many presents as tokens of his esteem. After the war they toured all the principal coun tries in Europe. ; Angna Enters is a well known dancer, who gives her interpre tation of modern dance forms of her own creation. She is not of the same type as - Carola Goya, the Spanish dancer, since she does not give classical, authentic dances. Her work has been . praised here and abroad. One of her best known original interpreta tions is "Feline," a dance that portrays the sensuous actions of the cat. A New York reporter has said of it, "Instead of a wo man dressed as a cat, there ap- 'peared a cat in the form of a woman.". j -i? :,:-vr vtK She designed her own cos tuming and has had her crea tions copyrighted. - Harlan Speaks To Sociological Frat Professor Rolvix Harlan of the University, .of. . Richmond spoke to the Alpha Kappa Delta sociological fraternity at their meeting last Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock on the third floor of Alumni building. His subject concerned the dynamic implica tion of sociology , The fraternity will lgive their banquet Monday evening in tha Carolina Inn at 6:15; o'clock.
