ANGNA ENTERS 8:30 MEMORIAL HALL Ls y , t Mi DI AND PHI a: i 7:15 ' I I s 5 NEW WEST NEW EAST VOLUME XXXIX ANGNA ENTER FINAL OFFERING IN THISQUARTER Famous Dancer Concludes Events Scheduled by Enter tainment Committee. The final offering of the en tertainment committee will be presented tonight in Memorial hall. Miss Angna Enters, America's greatest dancer mime, is to be the performer in the last number of the series. , This pantomimist breathes life into her characterizations. Her costuming is of the simplest, al though there is complete change of dress. Angna Enters is not to he confused in any way with the Spanish dancer, Carola Goya, i ' . - n wnose appearance nere was marked with great success, since the two dancers are of entirely different types. Miss Goya gave a representation of authentic Spanish folk dances while Miss Enters portrays no set dance of any nation but rather those com positions of her own which have proven so acceptable elsewhere. Miss Enters does not obtain 1 T 1 ner success oy oovious means. Her make-up, while not com pletely independent of pigment, pencil, and brush, undergoes no material change number to number. Her results are ac complished primarily by a state of mind, an uncanny faculty for translating herself, body and soul, into the contemporary psychology of her pictured wo men. She does not, however, despise the assistance of some slight properties " of hair ar rangements and, above all, of .costume. The latter contributes less di Tectly than one would suppose. The fact that she not only de signs but actually constructs the clothing and appurtenances of her characters, has something to do with the fact that they are Jiot slavish copies out of his torical albums. Excellent needle woman that she must be, her Jnind races too far ahead of her clever practical fingers to per mit overlong hours with em broidery frames or dressmakers' dummies. There is nevertheless a surprising absence of make shift, an amazing accuracy dis coverable in her creations. First of all materials and gen eral design are consistent and logical, and the style of her cos tume strikes straight to the heart of the contemporary vanities. Gould she, so clothed, be trans Ported to the actual scene and time which she attempts to re fleet, she would attract little or no attention from the rest of the population. She might indeed be criticized for an eccentricity r two on'the part of her coun trymen but never for the minut anachronism of iorm or manner. Mrs. Ernst Will Build -virs. Kuby Ernst, who now awells on Cobb Terrace, is to vbuild a home in West wood op posite that of H. F. Comer. H. Carter has designed for her a spacious colonial house. It will have a glassed-in porch at fie end, walls of cedar shingles, aid above the cornice along the front of the roof, a railing such as is seen on some of the o5d Nantucket homes.

The present House tax of ten percent on college football games is also to be one of the subjects on the calendar. As stated on the calendar, the bills are as follows: (1) Re solved : That the present fines placed on students missing class es in the psychology department is unwarranted and unfair; and (2) Resolved: That the House tax of ten percent on college football games is unjust and un fair.

The Ben Greet players are now on their second transcon tinental tour within recent years, the first having been made during the 1929-1930 sea son. On the former tour, the itinerary included major cities and universities throughout the United States. Sir Philip Bent Greet, the leader of this cast, has been on the stage for fifty years and has taught more actors than any plher living man. In recog nition of his life devoted to the cause of drama in education, King George of England knighted him in June, 1929. In speaking of the success of his career, Sir Philip said. "There are compensations for the lack of financial success. I have been mascot to an army of friends. I have seemed to bring good luck.

At Columbia, desks in one building contained the artistical ly engraved names of 117 young ladies, ranging from Agnes to Yvonne. Predominant was the name of Helene, which had been engraved with much skill and patience in forty-eight places. It was quite evident that the sculp tor had spent some little time carving outside of class hours, a new form of extra curricular activity. Carolina students do not seem to be adept at this art; at least ART EXHIBIT. WILL BE BROUGHT HERE ... i Plans are being perfected for the exhibit of the Association of North Carolina artists here in the last week of the month. It is to be held in the music build ing, and Dr. H. S. Dyer, head of the University's music depart ment, is assisting the officers of the association in the arrange ments for hanging the pictures. The display will include portraits landscapes, decorative paintings, and drawings in charcoal and pen-and-ink. tThe artists are to have a re ception April 24 for the Ameri can College Publicity Associa tion which is to be in session here at , that time. Donald Mattison of Winston Salem, who won the Prix de Rome in 1928, sends word that he will be delighted to send pic tures to future exhibits of the association; he is now in Rome and cannot be ; represented this iyear.

TTi t a j. .. .V - .. . . . a meeting ot the JPhilolojncal 1 f:ih Tnpadav Mnv R. tv will be " A New Theory Con cerning English Dialects." Mr. Plessow began his studies of the English language and literatnre in his pnrlv vnnth and later combined these with studies nTwmncrv Tt. was in 1928 that he became in terested in American literature and life, and his activities in that field led to his appointment to the chair of American at the University of Tubingen.

PLAN TO ERECT CAUTION SIGNS University and town officials are trying to devise some plan to diminish the danger of acci- dents at the campus gate to the rear of Spencer hall. This is at the northeast corner of the Arboretum across from Presi dents Graham's home. Many children pass through this gate in going to and from school. The path in both direc tions, alongside the Arboretum and back of the President's yard, is obscured by stone walls and shrubbery from the view of drivers coming from the main street, and frequently automo biles go by the gate at high speed. A child coming out sud denly upon the roadway, ahead of one of these speeding cars, might be run down. The suggestion has been made that caution signs be put up for both drivers and pedestrians who approach the crossing. PHI TO DISCUSS TRIAL MARRIAGE A modification of the present prohibition amendment will be discussed at the regular meeting of the Phi Assembly tonight in New East building,- when the members of the society convene in the third meeting of the year. Aside from the argument of the question of the bills, the pro gram will include reports from the various committees of the group, and especially an an nouncement from the members in charge of the spring social function which the society plans to give sometime this quarter. The three next bills on the calendar which will come up for discussion tonight are : 1.

NUMBER 13S SPRING CALENDAR' HAS FIVE MAJOR SETSOFDANCES Plans for Junior-Senior Ball, Finals,, and Slay Frolic Have Been Completed. With the commencement of the .spring quarter comes the prospect of a very full social season for the University, cam pus in the form of dances and other social functions. Fore most among these would come the Junior-Senior Ball, the Spring Festival, the May Fro lic, the Grail dances, the indivi dual fraternity events, and the German club dances sponsored by the German club. Frobably the biggest number on the quarter's dance program is the set of dances to be given by the two upper classes on April 24-25 under the title of . the Junior-Senior Ball. This idea of combining the dances of these two classes this year is en tirely new, and judging from the work done so far by the dance committee, the plan will be con tinued in the future. The committees in charge of the arrangements for the affair have secured Johnny Hamp and his "Kentucky Serenaders" to' -furnish the music for the occa sion. Hamp's orchestra, which is' considered one of the leading ten dance orchestras in the coun try, is very popular in this sec tion. ' The first of these two dances will be the Junior Prom and is scheduled to occur in the Tin Can Friday, April 24, from nine till one o'clock. The annual Senior Ball will take place in the Tin Can the following night be tween the hours of nine and twelve. Representatives of the junior class on the executive commit tee are: Theron Brown, who is president of the class, Jack Dun gan, Jack Farris, John Phil Cooper, and Steve Lynch. Those on the senior committee are: Pat Patterson, John Idol, Cliff Baucom, William Cooper, and K. C. Ramsay. According to plans now under consideration the ' color scheme or motif for the de corations will be predominantly black and white, fh all of the appointments elaborate formal ity' will be emphasized. . . Many patronesses from vari ous parts of the state are expect ed to be present at this ball. No one who is not a member of either the junior or senior-, class will be admitted as it is strictly a class function. This series of social occasions follows the winter and fall quar ters program consisting of. the Grail dances, the co-ed ball, and Mid-Winters. The Grail gave three dances' during the fall quarter as well as a like number during the win ter quarter. Following their established custom there will be three such dances held during the next quarter. Bynum gym-- (Continued on last page) Law Elections Following in the wake of campus-wide elections, the Law as sociation elections are scheduled to take place on Wednesday, April 8, at chapel period in the first year room.
