Police figured the time of his visits, at between 3 and 6 o'clock in the morning. "We're hoping to get some where in the next day or two," Police Officer W. E. Clark said yesterday. "We've even got a suspect in mind now." At the Chi Phi house, member Joe Ncikirk reported seeing the thief in the early hours of dawn, lie said he woke up when the intruder stuck his head into the door of his room. "Docs Joe Hobgood live here?" Ncikirk reported the man asked. Neikirk told him no. "Weil, he used to be here, be cause we threw a party with him a couple weeks ago," said the thief, as he backed outi the door. f Neikirk jumped out of bed, he said, and dashed downstairs in time to see the man beat a lusty retreat out the back door and over the rock wall toward the Phi Delt house. ( "He was a white man, about six feet tall, with a dark com plexion and dark curly hair," Ncikirk said. "He had on khaki pants and shirt and blue tennis shoes. I think he was about 25 bT30 -years old." ' A slightly different description of. the robber was foumd at the ATO house by Officer Clark, who investigated the thefts. Frank Goodrum of the local ATO chapter said the invader woke him up at 5:45. Goodrum glanced at his watch, decided it was just a brother up early, and rolled over to get some more sleep. But his quick glance at the man indicated that he was blond, white, and wore a tan sweater, Goodrum said. Down the street at the Lambda Chi house, one of the members reported hearing someone enter the house early in the morning, but paid no attention to it.

' tomes, Polk Are Speakers At Wolfe Club Were Roommates While at Harvard Albert Coatcs, founder and di rector of the Institute of Govern ment and William T. Polk, asso ciate editor of the Greensboro Daily News, both roommates -of Thomas Wolfe while attending Harvard University, were the featured speakers at the Wednes day night meeting of the Thomas Wolfe Club. Polk gave a penetrating anal ysis of the relation between Wolfe the man and Wolfe the artist through a clever method of interviewing himself with ques tions about Wolfe's personality and thinking. He stated that during Wolfe's student life here there were three professors who became definite influences on his work. Professor Frederick Koch, foun der of the Carolina Playmakers, was the most profound influence on Wolfe at the University. He led Wolfe to write of the things he saw and felt in his own ex perience, which was the basic- creative philosophy of Koch. The total works of the Asheville writ er are a manifestation of this philosophy, illustrating the force of the University on contempo rary thought. Edward Greenlaw, Itenais sancc scholar and former head of the University English Depart ment, helped Wolfe to under stand and apply the magnificent glow and richness of that period. Horace Williams, who taught Wolfe Greek philosophy, en couraged him to search for ideal truth, the most consistent theme in his novels. Coates, who roomed with Polk and Wolfe at Buckingham Place in Cambridge during his law student days, joined Polk in say ing that Wolfe was a genius of enormous capacities, with a sta ture, both mentally and physical ly amazing to all. Both friends of Wolfe said that the exaggerat ed cries and feelings Wolfe is said to have, experienced prob ably are all very true to life. Coates told a few personal and interesting stories which gave an insight to Wolfe's abilities as a thinker and a writer. He said that the notion of Wolfe's being the loneliest per son in the world might be true, but that he was at the same time the most gregarious person he (See WOLFE, page 4) Three-Branch Affair Greater University Day Slated For State Weekend by GUSC Plans are being made for the first Greater University Day, spon sored by the Greater University of North Carolina Student Coun cil, to be held on the day of the State-Carolina football game.

State; and Dan Bell of Carolina. i UNC To Be sponsorship of the Carolina For um and the Carolina Political Union' Congressman Deane said, "I doubt that you really compre hend what is in store for you here in Chapel Hill in connec tion with the establishment of'a great medical center. "You will coordinate here '.a four-year medical school, a teach ing hospital, a dental school,' a public health service for the en tire southeast, a nursing school, a school of pharmacy, which, to gether with great work in ' the biological sciences, will represent a medical center that cannot be found at any other place in the South and only a few places in the entire country." Congressman Deane, who was introduced by Dean of Students Fred H. Weaver, with CPU Chairman Murray Goldenthal pre siding, said the compulsory health insurance is in such a "highly debatable state" now that this session of Congress has abandon ed plana to attempt passage of such legislation. For the present, he said, em phasis should be placed on ef forts to secure 'federal aid . in hospital construction, aid to 'medi cal 'schools, and a scholarship and loan : program for students in the health field. He said -Congress was "in general agreement as to the desirability of meeting these needs. He pointed out that a bill he recently introduced (H.R. 4215) would have been " the Public Health Service Act so that the federal government "may aid in the construction and instruction costs at medical schools, or for scholarships and guaranteed loans to medical students, and make a survey of rural medical needs." Congressman Deane predicted that the road and school bond is sues to be voted on in North Carolina June 4, "will carry over whelmingly and I predict that less than one-fifth of the coun ties of the state will vote unfavor ably."
