Payson Carter, '25, Presents

"Garbo is lousy, Crawford
piteous, Dietrich trivial." So
did Paul Green sum up his esti-
mation oi motion pictures yes
terday afternoon.
Before an audience of almost
50 people assembled in the
Bull's Head, the noted writer
aired his -views on movies in
general. According to him,
movie-goers are caught in a vi
cious circle from which there is
no apparent escape. The pic-
ures which are being shown on
the screen today, said Mr. Green,
are more injurious than inost
people believe. In. his opinion,
the motion pictures shown here
have more effect on students
than do all the professors in the
University. ,
Producers in Circle
The novelist and playwright
stated, however, that this situa
tion was riot the fault of riiovie
producers. They too seem to
be caught in the same vicious
circle.
The discussion of movies was
brought up by Mr. Green after
he had read parts from a new
picture scenario upon which he is
how working. Very effectively
describing the jmake-up of a mo
tion picture production, he poin
ted out the relationship between
the movie and the novel. These
two arts are kin, the writer said,
because they are capable of giv
ing symbolic representations to
suchemotiohs asydeafh.'""'",'
Mr. Green concluded his talk
by stating that there would be
a great future in movies if more
stories of a constructive type
were screened.

and history 47 is far, less uncti-

"Now if I am announcing the
numbers for the Rythm Boys'

different tone. It Unay go some
thing like this," says Bob. "You
hear what the boys say, 'it don't
mean a thing if you ain't got

into the rhythm of this red hot

Bob Poole got his job as an
announcer at station vv riu m
Greensboro at the beginriing of
last summer through an audition
in which he imitated several of
the nation's famed announcers.
The station puts on a "search
for talent" program similar to
Major Bowes' "amateur hour,"
but Bob says that he was too
scared, to compete in this pro-
trram. However, now that he has
overcome his mike fright, he ur
ges any young aspirant to radio
fame to take part m this com

that will give you an opportun

"Which programs do I enjoy
announcing imost? I believe
prefer announcing programs
that the girls at Womans Col
lege put on." According to Bob
these programs are broadcast
from the auditorium on the
Womans campus through remote
control, and the announcer is the
only man allowed back stage.

to see if people prefer having
the concerts on Wednesday in

If the crowd tonight warrants
the change, the records will be
heard on every Wednesday even

"Die Gotterdammerung" by

Advocates of the one dollar
fee to be charged dormitory res
idents for organized social acti
vities received strong support in
the recent report of the Student
Advisory Committee advocating
the proposed amendment.
The recommendation of the
Student Advisory Committee
was submitted to Jack Pool,
president of the student body,
after an investigation of the
dormitory situation.
Additional Funds
"The Student Advisory Com
mittee feels the need of addi
tional funds t6 carry out more
effectively the revised system of
dormitory, control," the . report
stated. "Improvements in dor
mitory social and intramural
activities can . not be effected
under the present financial sta
tus of the individual dormitory.
"In view of this need, the
Student Advisory Committee
wishes to recommend that the
student body vote on the follow
ing proposition: That a fee of
one dollar be charged to each
dormitory resident, to be pay
able with the room-rent bill, such
a fee being administered by the
individual dormitory council
in the studerit activities fund."
Voting Cate Set
Action by Albert Ellis' Inter-
Dormitory Council recently set
the date for the referendum on
the proposed one dollar assess
ment for November 4 and 5.
Voting will be by petition, and
rnambers of the various dormi
tory councils will be in charge.
The University administra
tion, according to Dormitory
Supervisor Ellis, has already
consented to the levying of the
additional dormitory assessment,
provided the students want it.
The Student Advisory Com
mittee's report on the proposed
dormitory fee was signed by
Chairman Frank Willingham,"
Bob Magill, Francis Fairley, and
Don McKee.

wo organizations on the carii-
pus are deserving of a little
notice and commendation at the
present moment and your cor
respondent being somewhat
prone to put in his humble word
when the occasion demands, they
occupy the keyboard's attention.
The first is the University
Club.. When, several weeks past,
we rather reluctantly expressed
the opinion of several ex-University
Clubbers "that this year's
edition was not doing all it could
in the channels of its efforts, it
was because the University Club,
new to the game, needed a little
prodding either editorially or
verbally. Both were done.
Not. as a result of what we
said, but rather as a result of a
realization on the clubbers' part
that things were going too slow
ly, the University Club sprang
into action. Perhaps our most ef
ficient way of throwing a bou
quet to this hard-working and
ever-sacrificing bunch is to men
tion that this year's Homecom
ing Day, promoted by their ef
forts, was the most successful
one within the last four years.
It fairly oozed hospitality, and
well-prepared spontaneity, if
you can concoct the latter ex
pression. It was a dandy piece
of work.
The second group which de
serves campus commendation
and appreciation is the Mono
gram Club's executive commit
tee. Working for good sports
manship and clean-cut participa
tion, the executive committee
this year is perpetuating the
grand work inaugurated under
Ralph Gardner last spring. Act
ing voluntarily as a group of
athletes interested in promoting
the highest type of sport, the
committee has taken upon itself
many powers and duties which
manifest intelligence and sincer
ity and seriousness of purpose.
Neither of these organizations
asks for publicity nor does either
need it. Their entire activity is
based on what is truly school
spirit, the desire to carry on in
their various capacities to the
good of the University. The
campus appreciates their work
and their sacrifices and their at
titude. P. G. H.
