League Plans
New Program
For Orientation
Freshman Project Group
Will Be In Charge Of'
Hilda Kirby
"To assist freshman women in an
attempt to learn the advantages and
opportunities offered by the Uni-
versity and to develop its attitude
towards student life" is the avowed
purpose of the new orientation pro-
gram which will be inaugurated un-
der the auspices of the League this
fall.
Selected women will assist in the
work done by the University during
Orientation Week as usual; the new
phase of the plan is the permanent
nature of it. The freshman groups
which have been formed during the
week preceding classes will continue
to meet to discuss questions con-
cerning the campus and local insti-
tutions, and to hear members of the
faculty speak on their particular top-
ics.
Name Faculty Advisory Board
The project is being carried out by
the freshman project committee of
the League, headed by Hilda Kirby,
'35. A faculty advisory board to which
President Alexander G. Ruthven has
given his approval, has been request-
ed to aid. It is composed of Dr. Ruth-
ven, Dean Alice C. Lloyd, Miss Ethel
McCormick, Prof. Henry C. Ander-
son, of the mechanical engineering
department, Miss Gertrude Muxen,
research assistant in personnel prob-
lems and adviser to women in occu-
pational problems, Prof. Philip E.
Bursley, director of the orientation
period and counselor to new students,
Mrs. Emma Dawson, clinical assis-
tant at the Health Service, and Miss
Elizabeth Lawrie, secretary to the
registrar in charge of freshman ad-
missions. Two more members of the
committee will be announced.
Upperclass Advisers
In accordance with the plan there
will be 26 selected upperclassmen each
in charge of a group of freshman
women. They will be responsible for
their groups as far as attendance,
personal contact and leadership are
concerned.
The syst em outlined by Miss Kir-
by's committee, includes such points
as: an hour a week for the presenta-
tion of certain topics by selected
speakers to the groups meeting to-
gether; a definite weekly period for
each group to meet alone with its
adviser and discuss the topic of the
week; and voluntary, not required,
membership. Academic problems,
creative leadership, activities, the
arts, social relationships, and voca-
tional guidance will be considered, it
is expected, at the weekly meetings.
This method will resume the work
begun this year by Wyvern, junior
honor society for women, and com-
plete it. Wyvern members divided
interested freshman women into four
groups, dramatic, athletics, publica-
tions, and music and met periodically
withsthem to discuss questions of in-
terest to the women in each group.

Across the footlights she glows with
the kind of radiation that enthralls
audiences, and makes her the last
word in good theatre. In her dressing
room that glow is tempered; instead
one faces a slender, attractive blonde,
who regards one with a frank expres-
sion and speaks intelligently of her-
self and of the stage. Thus one is im-
pressed by Olive Olsen, star of "The
Pursuit of Happiness," star of "Follow
Through," star of a number of mu-
sical comedies and revues of the past
few years, and soon-to-be star of
"Meet My Sister," the English musical
comedy which will open here today as
the fourth attraction of the Hender-
son Dramatic Season.
Miss Olsen has been dramatically
reborn, she will tell you. For a long
'Elements Of Dance'
Are Subject Of Talk
"Not nearly enough has been done
to educate the public to the modern
dance," asserted Doris Humphrey,
brilliant American dancer who is now
performing with Charles Weidman in
the Dramatic Season. This was her
reply to one of the many questions
asked during the informal discussion
on modern dance held yesterday after-
noon in Sarah Caswell Angell Hall.
"Lectures, meetings, and articles
all help," she continued, "but there is
need to reach more people in a more
vital manner. Even the critics need
to be educated," she remarked in a
tone that caused merriment. She
went on to say how a prominent New
York critic after reviewing her recital,
stated that she made use of angular
movement and modern music as if he
reached new conclusions on the mod-
ern dance.
In her opening address she pre-
sented the elements of the modern'
dance as she understands them. The
dance like the other modern arts is
striving for simplification and inten-,
sification. Thus angular movement is
employed not only for the lines, but
also because it is an economy meas-
ure.
Abstract design and dramatic se-
quence are the two predominating
types of dance. The former charac-
terized by rhythm and design, is val-
uable for its dynamic qualities. Dra-
matic sequence treats a dramatic but
not literary theme, and consists of a
sequence of dramatic gestures chosen
for expression.
Miss Humphrey objects to the ballet
because it is a hybrid form. Modern
movements are superimposed on the
old ballet steps, making the whole
awkward. .Because the ballet as it
stands now is a theatrical form and
not native to America, Miss Humph-
rey does not believe it will endure.

while she followed the stage as a man
will manage his business - enjoying
the work, but looking at it chiefly
as a means of livelihood. Last fall,
howevei', she says she awoke to the
thrill of the stage, and to the realiza-
tion that there are other things to act-
ing besides merely coming on, playing
your part, and making your exit. Per-
haps her recent dealings with Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer have had something
to do with it.
"One reason I accepted the role
in 'The Pursuit of Happiness' was that
I needed training in deciding upon
and maintaining acting tempos," she
sad last Sunday night. "Previously
my work has been in musical com-
edies, where I could, fix my own bus-
iness' and have the rest of the scene
built around me. I never was much
good at rehearsals; usually I never
know exactly what my business will
be until I appear dn the stage on
the opening night. After that I keep
the same routine, varying a little here
and there. But if I am going to Holly-
wood. I must learn how to be directed
as one is directed in motion pic-
tures."
The legitimate stage in the middle-
west? "It must come back," she in-
sisted. "Its continued hold on .ew
York proves that, because western au-
diences are ever so much more critical
and exacting." She meant it, and she
is in a position to know.
