consented. She did not take time

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.

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

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.
