ing enjoyed the entire bill, rep
resentatives of the Folio Club
were impressed by the ease of
staging "For Auntie's Sake."
Although its "cast" really, has
five characters, it has been, writ
ten in such a manner that only
the two actually appear on the
stage, others being represented
"at the other end" of "telep
athic" and, telephone conversa
tions. . . V
Miss Lottie Frances Mays, a
niece of T. S. Woofter, plays the

Barrett, a college senior who
tricks the charming Penelope
into loving him.

YEAR BOOR NEAR
TO COMPLETION
Vanity Fair Section To Include
Portraits Of Eight
Beauties.
With the end of the quarter
the Yackety Yack is fast near
ing completion; Editor ' Travis
Brown selected his staff pearly
during the fall quarter, and the
job of putting out a successful
college annual has been going on
since that time, :
The last of the materials for
the Yackety Yack will go to
press immediately after the re
turn from the holidays. Annuals
will be given out to the students
about the middle of May,.
All class sections have been
completed and sent in , to the
printers. - The sport section 're
mains to be completed in full,
but is progressing rapidly. This
section is one of the most dif
ficult to complete due to the fact
that the track, baseball, and ten
nis teams must be used from the
year preceding. However, sched
ules and the like must be gotten
for the present year. These
are often delayed in forthcom
ing. Of interest to many on the
campus will be the Vanity Fair
section. Boys are allowed to
submit pictures of their girls for
this section, and the eight voted
the most beautiful by a commit
tee chosen by the editor of the
book compose this section. An
unusual number of. pictures have
been submitted, but the eight s to
be published have not as yet
been chosen. This will occur
toward the latter part of the
week and those pictures not ac
cepted will be returned shortly
afterward.
Library Notices
Graduate students and mem
bers of the faculty who wish to
arrange for borrowing, books
from other libraries on inter-
library loan should do so before
March 15. Owing to the spring
recess, it will be impossible to
arrange such loans between that
date and March 22.
Members' of the faculty are re
minded that reserve book lists
are now receivable at the li
brary. If the reserve lists are
in the hands, of the library staff
before or during the spring re
cess, the books can be reserved
within the first few days of the
new term.
City Foreclosing
The employes at the city hall
are busy this week making fore
closures on 33 parcels of Chapel
Hill real estate upon which cerr
tificates of sale were issued, in
1928, involving taxes of 1927
and earlier which have as yet not
been paid. No fraternity prop
erty is involved.

Paul Greea Reads Latest 1 Play
Before Filled Playmakers
, Theatre.
Sunday evening in the Play
maker theatre before a packed
house Paul Green read his new
play "The Potter's Field.". Many
people unable to find seats were
turned away. After Mr. Green's
reading the Chapel Hill negro
community chorus and the sil
ver tongued quartet gave a num
ber of selections; during the
"play" as one of the leaders had
styled it to Professor Koch, a
collection was taken up to sup
plement the money being raised
to continue the negro schools.
The audience responded liberally
and $72.60 was contributed.
Mr.- Green's new play , is in
one long act; he calls it a sym
phonic drama, as he uses a num
ber of characters arid plays upon
them as the musician plays upon
the notes of his instrument. As
each character is introduced the
drama moves faster and comes
to a climax, or crescendo as the
musician calls it. While the
play is in one act ' and willA be
produced continuously, : it will
take the time of a full-length
play. Mr. Green did not read
the complete text; but told the
whole story arid - read passages
here and there so that the audi
ence, could get a clear idea of
the" whole drama! r E nthusiastic
applause at the end indicated
the approval of the listeners. .
The program of the negro
coriimunity chorus consisted of
"The Negro National Anthem,"
"I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray,"
"Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and
"Steal Away." The silver quar
tet was well received and sang
several encores in addition to the
regular, program consisting of
"Chapel Hill Boys," "Ain't It a
Shame," "Hush! Hush! Some
body Calling My Name," "Let
the Church Roll On," "Ezekiel
Saw the Wheel," "My Lord
What a Morning," "Nobody
Knows" . and "Way Down
South." .
Fund Over 300
Funds received for the cam
pus relief fund for Orange
county poor yesterday, the last
day for . contributions to be
received, brought the total
well over $300. Contributors
over the week-end were Pro
fessor W. E. Caldwell, B. C.
Philpott, Ralph (Red) Greene,
C. L. Wyrick, J..P. Harland,
F. W. Jackson, Sarah Faulk
ner, and two anonymous do
nations. The amount of these
donations was $38.30, making,
the total received for the
fund during the ten days of
its existence 322.48.
This total of over $300
should nave a material effect
upon the poverty situation in
Orange county, and the com
mittee feels that the response
affords an excellent indication
of the feelings of the campus
and the townspeople about the
matter. The relief fund was
in no sense a "drive" or a com
munity chest campaign. It
was merely an opportunity
the Tar Heel established, not
only for the cariipus to become
aware of the deplorable situa
tion, but also for it to do "its
bit in helping matters.

Garbage Can Covers
Used As Protectors
The stirring drama began sev
eral weeks ago, when snow was
on the ground, when boys were
having snowball battles . and
cadaverous stray dogs worried
over the food supply. "'
Complaints suddenly began to
pour into the city, hall, directed
toward the "inefficient members
of your garbage collection de
parthient." ' . : .
"They forgot to return the
cover of my garbage can," or
"they took the cover with them
and I want it back !" or "a lot of
hungry dogs have been hanging
around our back yard ever since
your garbage men forgot the
cover to our garbage can," or
"what do I pay three dollars a
year for. anyway? It's for ser
vice!' . '
City officials quizzed the gar
bage department. The garbage
department had seen no covers,
but reported that most of them
had - vanished. "Dat job gittin'
right; hahd, suh. Yessah; dey
am' no kivvers fo' dem cans no
mo', and 1 de dawgs come 'long
an tip oveh 'em, and spill all dat
gahbage on de groun' and we all
gotta c'lec it up agin!" -
Conditions in the public rela
tions division of the refuse col
lection department of the city
of Chapel Hill continued to V be
strained until a few days ago,
when , policemen found a large
heap of covers to divers garbage
cans piled up in the corner of a
vacant lot near the schoolhouse.
Boys, engaged in organized
snowball warfare, had been
using them as shields.

Morgan P, Jloorer Of AsheviHe
t - Has Been Missing For
Ten Days.
OF ECCENTRIC NATURE
No Clues As To Cause Of
Disappearance Discovered;
Thought To Have Taken A
Small Pistol WTith Him; Sui
cide Theorv Advanced-
The strange disappearance of
Morgan P. Moorer, freshman
from AsheviHe, has caused the
University and the student body
to institute an intensive state
wide search for the 17-year-old
boy. R. B. House, executive
secretary of the University
said yesterday that the Univer
sity Is extremely concerned and
it doing everything in its power
to help in the investigation that
is now being carried on by
Moorer's fraternity, Sigma Del
ta, .Chapel Hill officials and
others. Mrs. Eva Moorer,
mother of the lad, Judge E. C.
Dennis and F. A. Moorer, his
uncles, arrived in town two days
ago to help expedite the probe.
Morgan P. Moorer, or "M. P."
as he was called by his intimates,
was last seen in Chapel Hill by
Mrs. Smith, mother of Le Roy
Smith of the French department,
with whom he lodged, on Fri
day afternoon, February 28, at
3 o'clock. At that time, he was
dressed in his ordinary manner,
wearing his every-day suit' and
liffht natent-lpatlipr sTinps Al-
though a heavy blanket of his
is missing, he did not carry it
with him when he left the Smith
home for the last time. The
only incident that made that der
parture different -from the many
entrances and exits he made dur
ing .the course , ol the day was
that he locked the door to his
room something he jiad , never
done before. ,". .
This, coupled fwith the fact
Viq Via r?irl nnt moVo an annpQr.
ance over the week-end, led the
Smiths to believe that he had
gone to his home in AsheviHe.
This belief was strengthened by
the fact that no mail was re
ceived from Moorer's mother
during the week.. "M. P." had
cut a full weelg of classes prior
to his disappearance and had
been dropped from" his history
course because of an excessive
number of absences. , It was to
this that his abrupt departure
had been laid. However, ap
proximately a week after
Moorer's strange leaving, a card
was received from Mrs. Moorer,
wnicn was auuxeoseu u "cj.
son. This card was the nrst in
timation the Smith's had of the
peculiarity of the situation. The
Sigma Delta fraternity, to which
the young man was pledged, was
informed and Mrs.- Moorer was
notified of the 'mysterious dis
appearance of M. P. :
Although he is presumed to
have left Chapel Hill on Friday,
an individual closely resembling
the missing boy was seen by an
J employee of the confectionery
store adjacent to the Carolina
theatre on Tuesday,. March 4.
Several negroes reported see
ing someone walking aimlessly
along the Raleigh road on Wed
nesday, March 5. Their de
scription of the boy tallied with
that of young Moorer. Morgan's
Creek figured in the boy's life
several months previously, when
"Boss" Hill, Chapel Hill tailor,
rescued the son of the late J.
