TURK DEBATERS RELATE ROBERT COLLEGE HABITS Students FronfBest School West of Vienna Are in America to Debate Our Universities. -Debaters from Robert col lege, Turkey, who are in America to debate with Leland Stanford university and ' Other institutions told the daily paper of that institution .many inter esting facts about heir alma mater and the customs of its students. Robert college in its sixty eight years of existence has es tablished itself as the leading men's university east of Vienr na. The student body numbers one thousand: Tuition is $80 a year, or equivalent to $170 pur chasing power in the United States, which is considered un usually high there, and pro hibits all but the wealthiest families from sending their boys to college. About $250 for all expenses, including room and board, is the rate for those liv ing on the campus. v The college grants a B. A. de gree that is recognized by many leading universities in this coun- try. .,' ; Constantinople college, locat ed a mile from the Robert cam pus, is the "better half" of the two, and from here come the "dates" for the men. A "date" is something besides a staple "food" even in Turkey Social activities are carried . on col lectively between the - two schools ; and frequent dances, with plenty of chaperons, are held. Class " rivalry is unusually strong, and many are thefrosh- soph battles. Strenuous skir mishes and mud-fights are not out of the ordinary, and lots of times the engineers band to gether and raid the - school of arts. Then a royal battle . en suesand most of the "arts" are thrown in the lake. , Coker Speaks at Roxboro Dr. W. C.

C TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1931 4 , This celebrated male ensemble of thirty-six trained voices will be heard tomorrow night at 8:30 in Memorial hall as the second attraction on the student entertainment program. The chorus is now on its last American tour. Elisabeth Risdon Says Audiences Are Much Alike In Their Response Star of "Elizabeth, the Queen" Is Frank and Outspoken in Dis cussion of Stage Life, Stating It Is a Mistake to Think Professional Actors Never Forget Lines. "I find that most interview ers liko bunk," Miss Elisabeth Risdon, star of Elizabeth the Queen, told the Daily Tar Heel interviewer yesterday. "They rather that I say I paid $300 for a new hat than to - hear the real truth, you may be disappoint ed, with my answers,for I'll 'be perfectly sincere even if a bit deounking to the theatre. No Highhatters "On the road, troupes are us ually quite rough. We all use the train for sleeping quarters and wardrobe. - If one actor wants to affect higher life among frequenters of the big hotels and high-class dining rooms, he usually secludes him self from the rest i of the com pany or is kidded to death. Young amateurs out of. little theaters , find themselves the butt of many a joke before they finally settle to regular life with the rest of us. If one goes to a big party, we all go, includ ing the crw." Stay Near Home Miss Risdon assured the in terviewer however that she would not encourage amateur actors to go to New York and Hollywood. "Stay in the big towns closer home," she warned. "New York- and Hollywood are already crowded, and unless one has plenty to live on, a trip might prove disappointing." Why are the English actor's chances better than other young persons? "I didn't know they were," she replied.' "I came to America from England and en tered a stock- company. Every break I made and everv word I gave the slightest English ac cent brought the whole ; com pany's kidding until I didn't feel like holding up my head. That's, the way I overcame my English accent." ; Enjoys Talkies When asked what she thought of the talkies she replied that shehad never played a part for the movies. "I go to the movie theatres and enjoy them just as you, but I never get the same pleasure and feeling out of a play there as I do when I see" the same play on the stage. The movie is the result of trial after trial. Each scene is done per fectly and fitted together. .The movie is the same every time. "I think it is often true that we had rather see a play in which the actors occasionally slumble for words than to see the movie, when the scenes are DON COSSACK RUSSIAN MALE - f 5 picked without any faults at all," continued Miss Risdon. "Don't "we often enjoy a speaker more when he pauses . for a word than one who has his speech memorized perfectly and can recite it glibly?" Professionals Forget Lines In answer to the question of professional actors forgetting their lines she quickly replied; "My goodness, every night there are three or four who 'dry up' on some line. We do not carry a prof essional prompter on tours, but depend on each other for cues. Sometimes We all 'dry up' together, and then it's just too bad." - , Miss Risdon, must props and make-up be perfectly realistic? "I don't know much about the technical side of the theatre. Props depend on the audience. If they are satisfied with fakes, then fakes are f all right. In Strange Interlude, all the props were real. - The patched anti aues were verv fragile and when I put my weight on a table edge, I never knew but what it would fall to pieces. I much prefer fakes. For instance, in Elizabeth, the Queen, ! throw an old vellum prayer book hard against the floor. Three nights would destroy a real one, so we use a wooden one. Make-up? We are all responsible for our own make-ups. It usually takes me an hour to put mine on, when I do my best." . , ' No Nervous Strain - She laughed at the illusion that'actofs are under nervous strains and faint away at the last curtain. "The Strange In terlude was long and. tiring, but at the curtain, I just walked out for a good hearty meal. It's true that we feel bad, and our nerves are jaded some days, but we j ust force ourselves to go through the part, and the sur prise is that sometimes it is the very day we feel the worst that we get the biggest hands.1 That is quite a blow to one's pride. Concerning college students, she said, "The response of poor working women in Brooklyn is just as appreciative as that from an average college audience. All audiences are strikingly alike in their response. They laugh at the same lines in every country in which I have played. Col- iege students are no exceptions. They show rio more intelligence than any other group." We still believe she was kidding us, however. ' CHORUS "1 : J CANADIAN NOTES UNITY BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES McGilLDean Believes Universi ties of United States And Canada Almost' Similar. There is little N essential dif ference between the American colleges and the large schools of Canada, believes Dean F.' M. Johnston, of McGill university at Montreal. The4 educational systems are . almost , identical, with the Canadian schools offer ing : the same. - liberalism . of thought, freedom of class at tendance in the higher schools, and the same courses of study. Dean Johnston heads the science department at McGill. McGill, he explains, is some what different from other Canadian universities in that it has no connection with the Canadian government " and inust be supported entirely by subscription. A noticeable dif ference in the campus of Mc Gill and that of the American universities is the total lack of dormitories at McGillr Students either live in the city or at some Of the nineteen fraternities, which claim less than fifteen percent of the student body of about 2500. Dean Johnston commented upon the oneness of feeling be tween the United States and Canada, and this country and England. The Canadian uni versity seems to be more Ameri can than English, although Dean Johnston believes there is little of any separation of Canada from England to join the United States in educational plans or government. The plan of scholarship in the universi ties of the three countries is also much the same. Bynum Is Improving Jefferson Bynum, of the geol ogy department, is rapidly im proving from a severe illness which he has been suffering for several weeks.

NUMBER 50 RUSSIAN CHORUS STARTED SINGING IN PRISON CATiIP Cossacks Are Enjoying Second American Season With Over a Hundred Engagements. ine uon uossack Kussian male chorus will be here tomor row for the second number on the student entertainment pro gram. The Russians are now enjoying a second season of suc cess in their first tour of Amer ica.

On being transported to Sophia, they formed a choir for the Rus sian Orthodox church. They made their , concert debut in Vienna in 1923.
