now consider themselves alumni
of the School here and that they
are a definite part of its develop

, The case of Agnar Mykle, 36-
year-old Norwegian student here
bears this out. He is a dramatic
art v student here ' ori Fulgright
and Smith-Mundt scholarships
. After the Nazis had occupied
Norway during World War II and
the 'fighting was over, there came
a long period of waiting just
waiting. It was during this period
m the. earlier part of the war,
when the underground resistance
movement was not very success
ful in its attempts, to undermine
the Germans, -that Agnar got in
terested in puppets
Although he majored in com
merce in the Norwegian School
of Economic and Political Sci
ences in Bergen and was a pro
fessional writer after' graduation,
Agnar, in company with his wife,
attended the . Academy of "les
Compagnons de :1a ; Marionnette
at Paris in 1947 . to learn ' more
about pupetry. , He went there as

No Winning
Mood Shown
Again At Va.
Charlottesville, Va., Nov. 10
It looked like a repeat perform
ance of last year's 44-13 defeat
at the hands of, the "Cavaliers as,
the Tar Heels couldn't get in the
winning mood today.
The team seemed to lack the
necessary punch to win, while
the fans and even the cheer
leaders gave iip after the first
quarter. ,
The balmy weather and two
Carolina scores were about the
only thing that cheered up stu
dents. The first UNC score,
coming in the. third quarter,
was followed by an announce
ment of the Duke-Wake Forest
game with the score in the Deac
ons' favor, 19-0. For once there
were two outbursts of yells, one
for the touchdown and one for
Wake Forest.
At times the Virginia student
cheers sounded like laughs.
Cheers from the Carolina side
were infrequent and almost
noiseless. Not even . the efforts
"of Durwood "Nose" Jones could
get the Carolina fans aroused.
"Jones, himself and the rest of
the yelling squad almost stopped
organized cheering in the sec
ond half.
. One student, "who disregarded
the warm weather, wore a coon
skin coat and a French beret.

The famed . artist telephoned a
local physician, Dr. Fred G. Pat
terson, at about 11 o'clock yester
day morning and asked him to
"come right away; there's an em
ergency." Arriving at Prince's
residence a few minutes later, the
doctor found two penned notes
attached to the front door.
"I've shot myself in the studio,
the first said. "There's nothing
else you can do for me. Please
see about Lillian." ,
The other, a detailed full-page
message, "related to the disposing

at one point, "The end is inevit
able ... . I am sorry to cause all
this trouble.'-
Close friends of the family and
npi pViVrr3 in fh pnmfArtshl.o past
side residential district said, how
ever, that Prince had appeared to
be quite cordial and happy in the
last few days.
Prince apparently spread a light
green turkish towel on the floor
of his spacious studio and sat
down before firing the fatal bullet.
Alongside him were the easel
and palette of paints that brought
him fame and from which he had
originated innumerable covers for
the leading magazines of the coun
try. His plastic-rimmed spectacles
and a hammer, with which he had
apparently been doing some car
pentry work, lay upon an adjacent
stool. An old-time pistol in - a hol
ster and cartridge belt hung in its
time-worn place on the back of
his easel. .
He was dressed in his familiar
habit of tweed trousers,' a knit
maroon sport shirt under a grey
sleeveless sweater and a light
brown button-down sweater.
His right hand still- clutched
tightly the trigger of the .S3 cali
ber automatic when his body , was
found.
: William Meade Prince was born
in Roanoke, Virginia, on July 8,
1893 and moved to Chapel Hill
when he was five years old. Here
he lived on East Rosemary Street
with his mother and grandfather,
the Rev. William Meade, then rec
tor of the Cross Episcopal church.
His family moved to Blrainj-
