The latest offering of the Uni yerpity of North Carolina Press is a volume of verse" by Anne Blackwell Payne, a native Tar Heel now residing in New York. The title of the volume is Re leased. It consists of light lyrics and sonnets and poems for chil dren. Her verse has appeared in leading magazines. Miss Payne was born in Con cord. Her family moved to Washington when she was young girl and she grew up there. She attended Flora MacDonald Col lege and then taught school for six years. Stories and verse for children comprised Miss Payne's first ef forts at writing. Many of her poems were published in Child Life, Youth's Companion and elsewhere. One of her children's poems was set to music and published in Primary Education and another was used in .the Elson Fifth Reader. , Her first serious poem appeared in Good Housekeeping in 1922. Miss Payne has been living in New York for six years, during which she has been intermittent ly studying English and poetry at Columbia University with John Erskine, Carl Van Doren, Joseph Auslander and others; writing short stories, helping to run a house, and occasionally teaching kindergarten. She is a charter member of the Writers Club of Columbia University ; has .had poems in four of their yearly anthologies which are published under the name of Copy: and won the prize for the best poem one year She is also a member of the Poetry Society of America. Miss Payne's father was Dr; Charles Montgomery Payne, ori ginally of Lexington, a physician and later a Presbyterian minis ter. Her mother was Margaret Justice Sparrow of New . Bern and Washington. N. C. Her grandfather was Thomas Spar row, a lawyer of Washington, N C, and a major in the Civil War George H. Lawrence, superin tendent of public welfare sta tioned at Chapel Hill, in an in terview with a Daily Tar Heel reporter stated that $649.11 raised through emergency funds for the poor of Orange county has been carefully expended during the recent period of hard times. . The ampus Relief Fund, sponsored by the Daily Tar Heel, contributed $202.73, and outside contributions amounted to $227.51, which consisted of gifts from members of the faculty, students and residents of Chapel inn, was used to relieve some 53 needy families in the county. The -present period-of hard imes i ana poverty tnrougnout he county, according to Mr. awrence, are caused principally by unemployment and poor crops throughout the section. Now that warm weather seems to have set in conditions should improve, according to Lawrence, since the majority of the coun try families will be able to grow foodstuffs in small quantities, at east. So far conditions in Carrboro have been very good, but with the partial closing down of the larger of the two factories there approximately 100 people, both men and women, will be out of work. Mr. "Lawrence has $21.94 left the emergency funds, and Jack Ward, the new president of the interfraternity council, announces the following rushing rules for next year. They will be the same as those for this year with only a few changes. The new rules read as follows: Rushing -The rushing season begins 'one week after the first day of classes which is preceded by what is known in fraternity circles as the first period of si lence in which there shall be no rushing of any kind. This period of silence includes what is com-monly-known as freshman week in addition to the first week of classes. For the twenty days following this date each frater nity will entertain freshmen" to whom it is considering extend ing bids. All f raternity rushing- entertainment is restricted to the fraternity houses and shall be limited to the hours of two to nine o'clock p. m., except on the last night (October 18) of the period of rushing, when the time shall be extended to mid night. The second period of si lence shall extend from mid night of October 18 to six p. m. of October 20. Periods of si lence are periods in which fresh men consider, the merits of the various fraternities by whom they have been rushed. No fresh men are permitted to be rushed or talked to by any fra- ternity - man or.. his associates in states that approximately 18 of the 43 families aided will re quire additional assistance.
