Touring Show Will Receive Big Sendoff It looks as though the opening night of "Angels Full Front," next major production of the Carolina Playmakers and their 41st touring show, will be one of the biggest events in Playmaker history. The play, a new Irish-American comedy by Francis M. Casey, will open next Tuesday for a six-performance run. Word was received yesterday that Durham Radio Station WDNC will have staff announcer Frances Jarman on hand to report the opening, and after the perform ance she will interview members of the cast. Several out-of-town newspaper reviewers are expected to attend the opening, and many reserva tions from nearby towns have al ready been received at the ticket office. Assistant business manager Nat White cautioned all season ticket holders who expect to see the play to exchange their stubs for reserved seat tickets at an early date. "This is one of the most important premieres to be held here." ROTC Rescued DAVIDSON, Feb. 20 (P) A military science professor at Davidson College adopted bank er's tactics to come to the rescue of 107 ROTC trainees. The students had counted on receiving their government checks for g series of dances at Davidson over the weekend. The checks, due Feb. 14. didn't show up. It looked like the trainees would be without money for themselves or their dates. But Lt. Col. James L. Ballard pulled a neat bit of strategy. With the aid of college authori ties, he borrowed $2,000 from the Davidson bank. The boys had money, despite Uncle Sam's tardiness. Pennies Are Mighty Coin In Contest Collier's Cover Is Drive Prize For 20 Coeds By Wuff Newell You can put that dollar bill back in your wallet, brother, be cause the penny is holding its own again. And a nice shiny penny, or even an old dull one, is all that you need to cast a vote for the girl of your dreams in v the Collier's Cover Girl contest. If you haven't a penny, a nickle, dime or quarter will do. Alpha Phi Omega, the service fraternity that is sponsoring the contest on this campus, has de cided that if the voting is to be done in a Really democratic way, it is not fair for a girl to get 100 votes at a single toss. So yes terday they said that any dollar bill found in the ballot box would be removed and ignored. "We want our winner to be chosen on the basis of personality, looks and activeness in campus life," Smithson, chairman of the contest, said, "and not becasue one organization can afford to put in more money than the others. Vot es cost a penny a piece, and we want only coins to be used." Ballot boxes, or, more correct ly, ballot bottles, have been plac ed in front of the display of the contestants' pictures in the Y (See COLLIERS, page 4) Graham's HQ Starts Work In Raleigh RALEIGH, Feb. 20 (P) Sena tor Frank P.

A recent stock drive which failed to collect enough capifal to meet the store's operating ex penses was given as the main reason for the closing. A meet ing of stockholders was called last week in an effort to keep the store going but only four people appeared and no action could be taken. Fortunately, few of the pres ent stockholders stand to lose on their investments. All perishable goods are being sold now at cost and the remainder of the stock will be sold to local groceries for whatever can be obtained. The. history of the co-op goes back to 1946 when a group of married vets led by Tom McDade and Dr. Frank J. Kottke of the University faculty organized a "buying club" with the aid of the American Veterans Committee The function of this club was to buy food at wholesale prices from large dealers and distri bute it among its members at prices considerably . below those in the retail stores. Finally in 1947 -the University Board of Trustees authorized the establishment of the present Co op. "Each couple" in Victory Vil lage was asked to purchase 10 shares of stock at $1 per' share and most of the residents re sponded. " ! ' " Mrs. Charlotte Hayes became the store's first manager and hir ed other student wives as clerks. In 1948 the store declared its first dividend of $5 to each stockholder. This in addition to a continual patronage dividend convinced many skeptics that the store was a good investment and they too bought stock. Another dividend was paid last year also. omce xasi year, nowever, (See CO-OP, page 4) Photography Course Set For April 20 CPPA Sponsoring; National Experts Several of the country's top photographers ' . and photo graphy executives will teach at the first Southern Short Course in Photography.

Duke Officials Probing Campus Cheating Ring DURHAM, Feb. 20 A Duke University cheating ring, dealing in "hot" examination papers, if under investigation by college au thorities and several students have already been dismissed, Duke administration spokesman said today. The ring, which has. been op- crating for several years, has been dealing in exam papers complete with answers. No estimate as to the number of students envolved has been made. Although not "condoning" the wrong-doing, Duke President Hol- lis Edens emphasized the Uni versity policy of never revealing the names of those who have been involved. He said some of the rumors circulating about the ring were greatly exaggerated. "While it is true that several students, . including some well known athletes, have left Duke recently," Edens asserted, "it would be gross injustice to the boys involved to assume that they all left for disciplinary reasons or for academic failure." "For example, one prominent Duke athlete who left within the past month did so entirely of his own accord in order to enter business,", Edens said. Both star basketballer Dick Groat and football back Jack Friedlund left school recently. Murphey Out Of Hot Battle Before Voting Three Candidates Selected To Run For Council Jobs By. Roy Parker. Jr. 1 Bill Prince, sophomore from Rochester, N. Y., was named by the Student Party last night to be its vice, presidential candidate in the spring election April 4 and three Student Council can- diates were put on the SP ticket. Prince was named by accla mation after Dick Murphy, who tied 15-15 with him last week, withdrew from the fight for the nomination. Murphy was not pres ent at 4 the meeting. Named to run on the SP ticket for Student Council were Larry Botto for an at-large seat, and Barbara Whipple and Glenn Har den for coed seats. Described by. SP presidential candidate John Sanders as one of the "most outstanding" stu dent government workers on cam pus, Prince said he hoped, in the campaign, to make the stu dent body "unified, and governmental-minded." The SP veep nominee is a veteran in student government, serving now as SP floor leader in the Legislature. He is chair man of the Party. Executively, he is a member of the Constitutional Revision Committee now at work revamping ie : student Consti- tufionrHe'was a- member of the University delegation to the State Student Legislature. Put off until next week were two men's seat nominations after Tom Donnelly failed to get a majority and Bob Evans and Edgar Love tied 21-21 for'second place. Sol Kimerling, Dick Allbrook, and Herman Sieber were eliminated. Francis Draine was "eliminated in the battle for coed seats. In ' naming the three Council candidates, the Party left six of the highest campus court's nominations for next week.

NORFOLK, Va.', Feb.: 20 (JP) Capt. William. D." Brown, com manding officer of the battleship Missouri, today accused his "team" of officers of falling down "when I needed it most." He admitted he was the cap tain of the team aboard the big Mo, but asserted he had to de pend on the officers as the Mis souri was new to him. The University at Chapel Hill has been selected by the Mag azine Division of the U. S. State Department as the subject of a feature story for the illustrated magazine ' Heute," a state de partment -published magazine distributed in Germany. ' " Franz Shoenberner, author, critic and former editor of the famous German' satirical paper "Simplicissimus," is here now compiling facts on University life for "Heute." Shoenberner will write : his feature story in the form of a "Letter From Chapel Hill," and will encompass all phases of University life here. In addition to his verbal pic ture of Chapel Hill, Shoenberner will write a portrait of Paul Green for "Neue Auslese," and an article on the scholary level Fountain Of Youth about the University Press for "Amerikanische R u n d s c h a u," both of which are State Depart ment publications distributed in Germany. , " Chapel Hill and the University were selected lor ine neuie article, Shoenberner said, to pre sent to the Germans the "demo cratic and liberal traditions of Chapel Hill," and to show those people, how the typical American University student goes about his daily life.

North Carolina Medical Foun dation. He and Mrs. Gray rolled into the state Saturday evening and rolled right out again late Sunday night. Riding over to catch a Greens boro train back to Washington in the car of Business Manager and Acting Controller Claude Teague, Gray was talkative, in his quiet, ' friendly way. The topics ranged from physical ex pansion of the campus of the Greater University all the way to Carolina student government. Gray went deeply into the subject of consolidation. He said he though the Greater Uni versity would probably have the greatest influence of any one thing in the state on the affairs of North Carolina "for decades to come." What did the Secretary of the Army think about the suggestion that the offices of the Univer sity president and controller should be moved to Raleigh tc get closer to state government and the General Assembly? And did he think that would help overcome the feeling that the "University of North Caro lina" meant the Chapel Hill branch alone without its broth er and sister institutions at Raleigh and Greensboro? "I'm' completely opposed to the idea of moving, the offices to Raleigh," Gordon Gray answered firmly. 'As far as getting them nearer to the Legislature goes, that is merely getting them nearer to state politics." And what would be accom plished, Gray continued, bjf merely moving the president. anV controller from Chapel Hill to State College? That is not the answer to the consolidation ques tion, he concluded. "But the president should make sure the Chapel Hill cam pus is being run by its Chan cellor," he said, "just as the Chancellors at Woman's College and State run their campuses." What did Gray think about the efforts of the Greater Uni versity Student Council to bring about an attitude of consolida tion among the - three student bodies? "It sounds like the Council is (See GRAY, page 4) Y Camp List Ends Friday Registration for the YMCA weekend conference at New Hope" with Women's College - will close by Friday of this week. The num.

The entire show will take place on a college campus, and the audience will see how col lege life has changed during the last 50 years. "Those who enjoy a good com edy will enjoy that part, of the show," Vestal 'Taylor, spokesman for Sound and Fury, said, "and those who like a romantic show will enjoy that part. Those who like both will spend a most en tertaining evening." Not only will the show take the audience back to college life as it was in ouV parents' times, but as a featured attraction, the cast will include a former Sound and Fury member who was once a star of the group. This Sound and Fury star who will make his comeback with the group is Norman Cordon, former Metro politan Opera star and faculty adviser for the group.'

During his week-long stay here, Shoenberner intends to sit in on as many student functions as possible; student legislature, political party meets, and other student meetings, because "noth ing like this system exists in Germany."
