Announce Date
Of Open House
Held At Leagie
Annual Affair To Be Held
April 2; Freshmen Plan
SGve Play
The date for the annual League
Open House has been set for April
2, it was announced yesterday by
Grace Mayer, '34Ed., president of the
League.
The practice of holding open house
at the League was instituted only a
few years ago, but has become a part
of the League program now to give
all students, both men and women,
a chance to acquaint themselves
with the building and its functions,
according to Miss Ethel McCormick,
social director of the League.
This year the freshmen will pre-
sent a play for which a 10-cent fee
will be charged. Other than that, the
open house entertainment will be
free to- everyone.
Inspection of the building, with
guides appointed by Julie Kane, '36,
social chairman, will be part of the
evening's activities. Dancing in the
ballroom will, as usual, be a feature
of the entertainment.
The freshman play, which is a new
addition to the program will be a
take-off on the famous episode of
Pocahontas and John Smith. The
play was written by the freshmen
as a group, each member of the
dramatic group contributing some-
thing to the whole. It will be directed
by Russell McCracken. The group
was started by Wyvern, junior wom-
en's honorary society, as part of its
plan to acquaint freshman women
with campus activities.
The project of writing and pre-
senting this play for the Open House
was the idea of the group almost
from the beginning, according to
Kathleen Carpenter, '35, who has
been in charge of the group, which
holds bi-monthly meetings to discuss
dramatics.
Birthtime Proves Roosevelt Is
Unintelligent, Says Phyc hologist
(By Intercollegiate Press)
NEW YORK, March 24.- If Dr.
Rudolf Pintner of the Teachers Col-
lege of Columbia University is right,
President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Al-
fred E. Smith, Herbert H. Lehman,
Carl W. Ackerman, Frederick J. E.
Woodbridge, Frank D. Fackenthal,
Leo Wolman, Robert A. Millikan,
Charles P. Berky, and others are rel-
ativelymunintelligent. No, it's not an-
archism; it's psychology.
After collecting statistics on the
month of birth and intelligence quo-
tient of over 20,000 school children
over a period of years, Dr. Pintner,
who is one of the nation's foremostI
psychologists, finds that people born
during the months of January, Feb-
ruary, and March are less intelligent
than those born any other time in
the year.
Each of the above persons was
born in one of these months. What
is more, ten of our presidents, in-
cluding Washington and Lincoln,
were born in the month of February.
Unable to explain why this is true,
Dr. Pintner says, "Logically it would
seem that your date of birth should
have nothing to do with your men-
tality. I've been trying to prove that
there is no connection. But all my
studies indicate that, on the average,
people born in January, February and
March are just a little more stupid
than other people."
Dr. Pintner thought at first, that
perhaps this result was caused by the
fact that children from poor families
lacked sunshine and warmth as in-
fants. But he says, ."I tabulated my
results according to social position
and the same thing happened. Much
as I regret to say, rich people born
in winter are also subnormal.
"You know, that has been the
greatest puzzle of my life. It's true
even if it shouldn't be true. And I
can't understand why. I've tabulated
my figures according to hot months
and cold, wet months and dry, warmI
months and cool -but nothing ex-
plains it.
"The best guess, perhaps, is that
children born in winter are more sub-
ject to illness and that affects their
mentality. But there are no statistics
on this. It may very well be that chil-
dren born in January do not show a
higher disease rate than those born
in June or August. Then again-"

Marriage To Be April 2
The marriage of Hazel D. Weissen-
born, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Wal-
ter Purdy of Mt. Peeler, O., and

and Mrs. George Hayward of Rich-
mond, Ind., will take place at 8 p.m.,

ding was to have taken place on New

cause of an accident to Mr. Hayward.

of the student council and the Girls
Glee Club. Mr. Hayward, who is a
member of Theta Kappa Nu frater-

DEPARTMENT GIVES TEA ;

vanced graduate students in the

at tea yesterday by Mrs. Ralph Saw-
yer in her home, 1208 Wells Street
Grad., is acting as assistant director,
and Joseph Conlin, SpecSM, as mu-
sical director, with all other work also
being done by students, including de-
signing costumes and stage sets.
Sly Humor
The opera, like all those of Gilbert
and Sullivan, is notable for the sly
humor of its sentimental moods, and
it is to emphasize this effect that all
the singing, costuming, staging and
dancing has been stylized to achieve
a final synchronization possessing a
"champagne" gaiety.
A fine feeling of comedy abounds
throughout the opera, which is con-
cerned with the trials of the lovely
Cassilda, daughter of the amusing
Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Torro,
who in infancy contracted a marriage
with the heir to the throne of Vara-
taria, who subsequently disappeared.
Gondoliers Possible Heirs
Two gondoliers are thought to be
possible heirs and Cassilda is faced
with the unpleasant duty of giving
up the drummer boy of her father's
court with whom she has fallen in
love, to consummate the marriage
with one of the gondoliers, now both
mock kings. The difficulties are in-
creased by the fact that both gondo-
liers are recently, and very happily,
married to two charming girls, but
as in all Gilbert and Sullivan operas,
the lovers' difficulties are eventually
ironed out.
KAPPA PHI HOLDS PLEDGING
Pledging was held Tuesday by
