RICHMOND. Va.. Jan. 29
(UP) It took almost 84 years,
for something like this to hap
pen. The Richmond Light Infan
try Blues got hollerin' mad to
day when they found out they
were being mislabeled "The
Richmond Grays" by Yankees
since their appearance in Pres
ident Truman's inaugural par
ade three weeks ago.
Newsreels showing the crack
infantry outfit turned out in
their immaculate blue uni
forms on Pennsylvania avenue
were referring to them as the
Grays. Lt. Col. W. G. Wharton,
commanding officer, grieved.
Wharton wants it under

Agriculturists through Dixie
begged for real winter weather
all through the recent June-in-Januaiy

crops require a good period of

premature blooming and growth
of crops.

McCurdy Working. . .
Gets Inside Dope
By Gordon Huffines
Dr. Harold McCurdy, professor
of psychology who is making a
study of the personality oL Shak
espeare and other literary giants
by computing the amount of
space each author gives to his
main characters, thinks he may
be able to derive facts about hu
man personality in general from
his woi'k.
Assuming that fictional litera
ture is a projection of the author's
personality, Dr. McCurdy has
made a detailed study of 36 of
Shakespeare's plays and the
novels of Emily and Charlotte
Bronte.
By counting the lines spoken
by Shakespeare's characters and
the amount of page space the
Bronte sisters gave their charac
ters, Dr. McCurdy has been able
Kenyon Says
Entire Group
Halted Dance
Cancellation Voted
By Dance Group
Coach Marvin Allen did not
stop the University Veterans as
sociation from using an orches
tra at the March of Dimes dance
last night, George Kenyon', chair
man of the Dance committee,
said yesterday.
"The dance committee decided
as a unit about the UVA dance,"
he said. "Allen was not the only
man who made the decision."
Kenyon said copies of ampus
dance procedure had been sent
to all campus organizations, in
cluding the UVA. The present
rules have governed University
dances for the past two years,
he declared.
However, no Dance committee
officials commented on the fact
that Graham Memorial has been
using a small band for Friday
night dances in the Rendezvous
room for some time, without ever
having to obtain permission
from any officials or sanction of
the Dance committee.
Kenyon said members of the
Dance committee would be the
first people to recognize the i
worthiness of the March of Dimes
campaign, but once the rules
had gone in effect for campus or
ganizations they could not be
broken for one group without
other organizations wanting sim
ilar consideration at some future
time.
Kenyon declared the purpose
of the Dance committee is not
to act as a police organization
for campus dances, but rather
to protect the students and make
sure the dances are conducted
in the traditional University
spirit.
Coeds May Hear
Talk on Careers
Career-minded coeds will get a
chance to hear something about
jobs open to women tomorrow
afternoon at 5 o'clock in the main
lounge of Graham Memorial.
The program is being sponsored
by the Careers committee of the
YWCA with Faith Adams as
chairman. It will consist of talks
by a board of four faculty mem
bers who will each speak five min
utes on jobs open to women in
his field.
The speakers will be Dr. W. D.
Perry of the education depart
ment, Miss Ruth Gilpin of the
sociology department; S. W. Se
chriest of the journalism depart
ment, who will speak on careers
in both newspaper and magazine
work, and Miss Betsy Parker of
the Placement service, who will
speak about jobs not directly con
nected with majors.
The board will also discuss
what experience is necessary for
the various jobs mentioned, what
pay can be expected, the chances
for advancement, and the type
of associates.
Following the brief talks there
will be a question and answer
period.
to draw certain conclusions about
the personalities of these artists.
Dr. McCurdy explained that
he was working on a theory ad
vanced by the late Duke psychol
ogist Dr. William McDougal, that
the human personality is an ar
rangement of constituents with
one ingredient dominating the
others. According to Lr. McCurdy,
the fictional character represents
a nucleus of the author's inter
ests. By studying the emphasis
placed on these characters and
the traits given to them by the
author, Dr. McCurdy is able to
trace aspects of the author's per
sonality. '
From his study the psycholo
gist has concluded that with an
increase in age the author tends
to place more emphasis on his
central character, giving his sub-

March of Dimes
Campus Drive
Ends Tomorrow
The Daily Tar Heel-sponsored
campus March of Dimes cam
paign will close tomorrow, in
order not to conflict with other
drives planned for the week, co
chairman Ed Joyner, Jr., an
nounced yesterday.
"However," Joyner pointed
out, "contributions will continue
to be, accepted at any time."
Dormitory solicitors are re
quested to bring in their stu
dent donated funds tomorrow,
Joyner said.
"Most organizations have co
operated, but the amounts con
tributed are considerably below
those anticipated," he went on,
"For this reason, we are asking
all solicitors to make a final ef
fort to see that all members of
their organizations have taken
part."
Several organizations that have
not had a chance to contribute
are holding events after the clos
ing date of the drive.
Proceeds from the Clowns vs.
Clodhoppers basketball game
will go to the polio benefit fund.
Of the organizations who have
turned in funds, Kappa Alpha
fraternity is out in front with
a nearly 100 per cent contribu
tion of $65.
E. Carrington - Smith, March
of Dimes chairman for Orange
count', announced that final re
ports are expected in by Tues
day. To date only preliminary
returns arc in. The total for the
drive to Saturday was $3,000
from the entire . county. The
county drive will end Monday,
although donations will be ac
cepted for an indefinite time af
ter then.

ordinate characters less space. "As
the author grows older his inter
ests become more central, and
show greater stabiity and more
egotism," Dr. McCurdy said.
Comparing Shakespeare's
tragedies with his comedies, Dr.
McCurdy found that there was less
subordination of minor characters
in the comedies. "In the tragic
mood there is a concentration on
one individual his troubles,
moods, emotions while in the
comic mood this interest is less
centered with the resulting effect
that more importance is placed
on other characters," the psychol
ogist explained.
Studying the characters of the
Bronte sisters and the biographic
al background of the two Eng
lish novelists Dr. McCurdy has
drawn the general conclusion that
YM to Begin
Member Drive
This Tuesday
Goal of $5,000
Set by Committee
The University YMCA will
launch its $5,000 membership
drive Tuesday, Charlie Fox, Y
Finance committee chairman said
yesterday "to enable us to con
tinue to promote Christian ideals
and fellowship throughout the stu
dent body and in the community."
In a final briefing session be
fore the opening of the drive, a
supper will be held for all solic
itors in the Baptist church to
morrow beginning at 5:45.
'Guest speakers at the supper
will include Chancellor R. B.
House, Jess Dedmond, student
body president and Warren Ash
by chairman of the YM advisory
board.
"It is hoped," Fox said, "that
all students will get behind this
membership drive, and contribute
to the budget of an organization,
whose activities are planned by
students and are the expression of
student interests and needs."
Funds derived from this drive
will be split three ways; $1,500
going to fraternities, $1,500 to
town men and $2,000 to dormi
tories. With these funds bolstering the
1949 budget, the Y will be en
abled to carry on its program of
assistance to the students, Fox
explained.
'Beggar's Opera'
Opening Tryouts
Are Scheduled
Open tryouts will be held Mon
day and Tuesday from 7 to 9
o'clock in Memorial hall for the
forthcoming production of John
Gay's "The Beggar's Opera." The
musical calls for 13 men and 13
women in a wide variety of char
acterizations from the kindly jail
er to highwaymen, cut-throats,
street-walkers, jades and game
sters. Dr. J. P. Schinhan and M. David
Samples, co-directors of the show,
emphasized the fact that "The
Beggar's Opera" is not an opera
as the name might imply, but a
musical comedy. First produced
during 1728 at Lincoln's Inn fields
under the management of John
Rich, Gay's musical greatly in
spired Irving Berlin to write in
a like manner.
The production is being spon
sored by Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia,
Sigma Alpha Iota, the music de
partment, Sound and Fury, and
the Playmakers. Librettos are on
reserve in the library for those
who wish to read the script be
fore tryouts.
Glee Club Lists
Special Practice
The Men's Glee club will hold
a special practice at 4 o'clock this
afternoon in Hall hall, club offi
cials announced yesterday.
i there is a fundamental contrast
between the personalities of Emi
ly and Charlotte. "Charlotte is
more defensive, Emily more ag
gressive. Charlotte is more mature
in the sense that she has more
fully adopted the conventions of
society. But one would expect
to find her more unhappy than
Emily just because of this as
similation to society which is
neurotically incomplete," the
psychologist said.
"It is certainly evident that we
can find out something about the
personality of an author through
his writings," Dr. McCurdy said.
"What I would like to see is the
field attacked by a great number
of people so that we could gather
the great amount of information
that is available," he added.

Sidney Hillman award for meri
torious public service, Dr. Gra
ham 'said, "the struggle of in
dustrial workers to organize and
win the reluctant recognition of
legislative bodies, the courts and
the corporations," is another step
in the "democratic struggle of
human beings for autonomous
organization around a great hu
man need.
"The movement of working
people against heavy odds to win
a simple share in the control of
their own lives is one of the
great human movements of the
last 100 years and is at the
center of the struggle for free
dom and democracy in our
time."
Dr. Graham said the United
Nations should "follow through
in support of its stand for the
immediate liberation of the im
prisoned Indonesian leaders and
the restoration of the Republic
of Indonesia."
