Robbery Epidemic
Takes High Toll
During Quarter
A small epidemic of petty larceny
has swept over the campus during the
past quarter, ending in a jobbery
which occurred over the Thanksgiving
holidays.
The last victim, Horace Carter, a
self-help student, upon returning to
his room 302 Graham, found that his
typewriter, worth $60, which he used
in his job, a watch, and some money
were missing. He had locked his room
when he left and it was locked when
he came back, so in all probability the
thief used the pass-key to gain his
entrance to the room.
Other Robberies
Throughout the ' quarter, several
other robberies have taken place,
mainly in the gym.JV. W. Johnson had
his locker broken into twice and had
a meal book and some money stolen.
He had locked the locker and the only
way for the robber to gain entrance
was to have known the combination
of the lock.
Carroll Lippard lost $18 and Tom
Hood had $11 stolen from him,, both
cases happened in the gym.
University Maintains
Odd Rent-Free Rooms
For Needy Students
The (' University" maintains several
odd out-of-the-way places where self
help students may stay rent-free.
If you feel any burglarial tendencies
coming onthe place NOT to" try them
out is Swain JHaU. Three footbball
players reside in the basement, rent
free, to put out lights, turn of f fans
and act as watchdogs.
Four more athletes have a suite over
in Emersori Stadium along with the
Playmakers scene shop. ,
It is also well-known that the Uni
versity occasionally lodges visiting
athletic teams over in the Kenan stad
places for kleptomaniacs to stay away
from.
UNC Laundry m
You couldn't PAY a kleptomaniac to
molest the University Laundry which
is two miles or thereabouts on the
road to nowhere. However after much
pleading the University has found two
students who stay .way out there and
turn off lights and lock doors for mon
etary consideration. The postman can
not see his way clear to make the long
hike, so the YMCA maintains a mail
box for these two boys.
Those of us who get sick and tired
of the Chapel Hill bells are referred
to Memorial hall, which has quarters
for "one bell-ringer and organ player
for freshman chapel." '
Finally certain townspeople offer
rooms rent-free to a few suecw

for holding the attention of the audi-
ence from the moment they appear on

Voodoo Songstress
When the Latin American songstress
sings one oi tne jungie songs lor wmcn
she is internationally famous, she cre
ates an almost terrifying effect by,
singing to candlelight. She is a student
of "macumbas" and "candobles," a
Brazilian's version of voodoo or fetish
ist religion. When she discusses the
subject she does in scientific fashion,
not passing it off as "mere mumbo-jum-bo
stuff." "It is dangerous," she says',
"really frightening. Because what is
it? The occult? The supernatural?
Of course not. Simply a passport to
