Former Ted Shawn
High Value Of
Phoebe Barr Trained Chorus
For Production of Euripides'
"Alcestis" Last Summer.
For a number of years the
Carolina Playmakers had aspir
ed to produce a Greek play. They
Jiad the advantages of splendid
musicians on the campus, their
own excellent facilities for scenic
production, experienced actors in
their group, and the unusual
background of the Kenan mem
orial stadium for such an under
taking. There remained the one
fatal drawback that there .was
no one in Chapel Hill who could
assume the task of training a
Greek chorus, without which
such a production would-be en
tirely impossible.
Last spring, Phoebe Barr, who
had been a student for four
years at the Denishawn school of
dancing in New York following
her graduation from the North
Carolina College for Women, and
Vfho for three of those years had
danced in Ted Shawn's concert
company, came to Chapel Hill to
live and immediately, identified
herself with the Playmakers.
Prepared Greek Chorus
The long thwarted ambition
was realized during the last sum
mer session when Euripides'
Alcestis was given an elaborate
production in the stadium. Mrs.
Barr took a group of summer
school students who" had never
had any dance training before
and in three weeks created, a
chorus ensemble that would have
done credit to any production of
a Greek play.
At the request of the Play
maker staff and a number of stu
dents from the 'drama classes

New Instruments Assist' Geol
ogists in Finding Rock Struc- .
, ture Information Easily.
The geology department of
the University is one of the very
few in the country to offer cours
es and field practice in geophys
ical methods, according to Dr.
W. F. Prouty, head of the geol
ogy department.
Until recently the geologist
sought out earth structures and
mineral deposits largely through
keen observation and reasoning,
aided by only a few simple in
struments. In the last decade
geophysical instruments of many
types have been perfected to, aid
man in looking still further into
the solid rock. Chief among
these methods are those based
upon differences in earth grav
ity, magnetism, and conductiv
ity. :
Works in This Area
During the fall quarter, J. A.
Alexander and B. -G. Bissell,
graduate . students, assisted, by
P. P. Fox and C. E. Hunter of
the undergraduate, school, and
under the direction of Dr. G. R.
MacCarthy, have mapped an ex
tensive area about the Country
club by use of the magnetometer.
This instrument is so sensitive
to slight magnetic differences
that it is possible to map various
types of rocks concealed by a

Demand that the consolidation
of the three state supported in
stitutions of higher learning be
proceeded without further, delay
and that appropriations for du

This was included in the re
port of the joint committee on

most sweeping recommendations
for changing the governmental
set-up ever made before the leg

would affect eighteen different
branches of the state govern

saving of $2,000,000. Nine bills,

introduced recommending such
changes, brought before the as

Sophomore Tries to Imbue Tra
dition of Carolina Gentleman !
In Submissive Freshman, r
There is one freshman, at
least, who, at the end of the
year, will be properly imbued
with the traditional spirit of a
Carolina gentleman. This fresh
manaffectionately referred to
by the term, "Weasel" has the
extraordinary privilege of be
ing the roommate of a conscien
tious sophomore who is excep
tionally clever at devising novel
methods to impress upon him the
importancepf the traditions of
the University. Moreover, there
are many kind souls cooperating
with this sophomore in carrying
put what he believes his duty.
A few nights ago, the fresh
man, upon returning to his room,
found a note tellins: him to dial
5911 and to ask for Frank. With
fond memories of similar suc
cessful experiences, the fresh
man called. A woman answered.
"Whom do you wish to speak
to?" :
"Is there anyone there by the
name of Frank?", asked the
young man.
There followed an ominous
pause. Then the woman's voice
again." "The only Frank here Is
Mr. Graham. Do you wish to
speak to him?"
Lamely; the freshman explain
ed that someone must have done
him dirt.
On the Rock Pile
This experience is the latest,
and perhaps most edifying;
many preceded it. During the
first week of the quarter he was
shown the traditional freshman
rock pile and was made to depos
