Hobbs, dean of the school of arts and sciences, on what the Uni versity may do to provide speci al opportunities to students of superior ability. Hobbs' Paper A condensed statement of s Dean Hobbs paper appears on page two. Dean Hobbs, as chair man of the faculty committee on instruction, has been largely instrumental for bringing about the opportunity for students to discuss educational problems with his committee of deans. The Hibbard Honors College plan would provide opportunities for students of exceptional abili ty to work independent of course, examination, attendance, and grade, requirements to mas ter a chosen field of study.

"We use four steers each week, and 2,000 rolls per day. Besides the rolls we have about 500 biscuits for breakfast and use 75 loaves of bread," explain ed the manager wheh asked how such a large number was fed. "Potatoes are a staple food anywhere and the cafeteria uses a good deal of them, averaging 250 pounds every day. Colt to give a short talk for her group. The younger Barrymore consented. She did not take time to change. her costume, but in vited the would-be actresses and actors into her dressing room. Questions After talking about the thea ter and the stage for a few min utes she asked if anyone had any questions they would like to have answered. "I will be glad to answer them if I can." There was a moment's embar rassed silence and then one of the girls looked up and said, Miss Colt, if you had a chance to become an actress would you take it?' Ethel Barrymore Colt looked amazed. After all she had just finished a performance, had been congratulated by many of her audience, and was still in costume and makeup. "What do you mean?" she asked puzzled. After further questioning she discovered that to them an actress was not a real actress unless she was a movie star. Miss Colt, although only 23, has been "an actress ' ever since she finished school abroad. Her mother, Ethel Barrymore, has been famous on the stage for many years and her two broth ers, Sam and John Drew Colt are also playing behind the foot lights. In Hollywood her two un cles, John and Lionel, hold up the f amilv tradition. The family has given five generations of ac tors to the stage. Surgeon Talks Here Tonight A. E. D.

New Men President of the local A.E.D. chapter Joe Patterson stated yesterday that the names of the new men recently elected to membership in the pre-medical fraternity will be announced prior to Dr. Brenizer's lecture. Dr. Brenizer will attend the banquet session of the chapter tonight at 6:30 in the Carolina inn for the formal initiation of these men. The meeting will then be adjourned for the sur geon's address in Venable hall. Alpha Epsilon Delta invites all interested students, especially pre-medical and medical, to at tend the lecture." Wetherbee asked if there was a possibility of the faculty's re adopting the Hibbard plan. "I don't know," was Dean Hobbs' answer. He said that if a group of students asked for the opportunity their petition would probably be granted if they were judged capable of self -directed study. Administration Dean Hobbs said he had al ready brought the plan before tHe Administrative board, but the attitude of that group was to concentrate first on tne local honors courses in the various departments before experiment ing with the more extensive Honors College set-up.
