The tiny angel figures were painted and used in constructing a tombstone that will be used in the Playmaker production opening next week. 'Angel Front' News Unknown PI ay makers Have Big Part In Work By Mark Summer durable. Audiences arc courteous about giving applause to the actors and actresses in a successful play. Sometimes the backstage tech nicians arc allowed to take a bow, but the group who start to work earliest on a production rarry. get any credit. They are tne members of 'the shop crew. In the Carolina Playmaker production of Francis M. Casey's "Angels Full Front," which opens Tuesday evening" for 'a six-day run, the cast and backstage crew are the same people, but behind their efforts lie a month and a half of carpentry : and painting by the "unknowns" in the scene shop. ' ' . i Staff designer Lynn Gault started to work on the scenery plans for the play before "Tread the Green Grass," their last production, had even opened. and as soon as the scenery, from that play was out of the 1 way, Gault and his student assistants started to build a two ! story house with a front porch. and to make the multitude of property pieces called for by Casey's script. Only the front and one side of tlu house have to show, but the trick is to build it so that, the setting will fit the small Play maker stage and each different sized stage the group will en counter on the tour. .The show, crew solved the problem by' building the house in expandable "units. Three units will be enough' for small stages and four or five will expand tho set to fit larger playing areas. . Another early technical pro ject was th tombstone with two stone angels on top; The tomb stone figures prominently in the comedy, and Casey calls for the stone to be set on rollers and moved across the stage. Gault turned sculptor and modeled an angel out of clayc t , Condition Same Dr. R. D. W.

Making Way For New Dorm Nostalgia, Silent Curses Mark Quonsets Passing By Rolfe Neill Perhaps it is with some bit of nostalgia, yet possibly with a silent bon voyage curse, that male students see the Quonset Huts torn down. After serving for some three years as temporary housing, the "tin cans" are being taken down to make way for, a new dormitory. . . The new dorm, for which $1,000,000 has been appropriat ed by the State Legislature, ' will have 230 rooms including social rooms. The. appropriated sum is for furnishings as well as construction costs. J. S. Bennett, Director of Operations, yesterday said plans are almost complete and bids would be called for "within the next two weeks." The huts were erected at the end of 1946 with students moving in during December. The 36 buildings, of which 30 were living quarters, accomo-' dated 20 men each. Three of the huts were used as shower toilet facilities and three oth ers as study huts. Heat was provided by oil heaters. Located behind the Mono gram Club and toward the Raleigh Road, the huts took over space used for tennis courts. Almost one-third of the 44 courts were occupied. Three of the huts are still standing on the uper. level and Lporic . have been: removed - yet from the ' lower group. All must be razed before dorm construction begins. James" E. Wads worth, Di rector of the Housing Office, said the removal of the huts would create a serious short age of housing spaces until the new dorm is built. inrougn dormitory space we can .house 3,060," said Wadsworth, "but the taking over of Miller Hall next fall by the Dentistry School,- will leave us with still fewer spaces." The housing head pointed out that Nash Hall will con tinue to be used until enough dormitory space is available.

"Sherman's Army 14 miles away!" And the people asked themselves an omi-; nous question: "Will they burn Raleigh as they burned Atlanta?" During the long, dark night of April 11, 1868, Governor Vance sat at his desk in the executive mansion, composing hasty mes sages by flickering candlelight. In their homes the citizens wait ed silently for the fall of their city. At 10 o'clock the following morning, five grim-faced men boarded a special train at. the Raleigh depot. Ahead of them! lay a dramatic and dangerous mission to prevent Sherman from destroying the State Capitol. This Sunday, a 30-minute dramatization of this exciting chapter of Tar Heel history will be presented over 'many North Carolina radio stations on the "University Hour" radio pro gram. . The "University Hour" is pro duced by the Communication Center of the University of North Carolina, and is broadcast each Sunday at 2 p. m. over the Dixie' FM network.

Judging the Di-Phi debate last night were Dean Henry Brandis of the University law school, French Processor R. W. Linker, and William M. Greer, research associate in the Insti tute for Research in Social Science and biographer of the late ' O. Max Gardner, Sr. Speaking for the affirmative side of the resolution advocating legalized mercy killing in North Carolina were Charles B. Mac- Rae, Jr., Toby Selby, Bob Clam pitt, John Schnorrenberg, A. W. Sapp and Charles O. Long. The negative speakers were Phi members Herman Seiber, George Rodman, Frank SchelL Hal Conozy and Graham Jones. asserted that a careful study of the budget showed "the primary need for a fee increase lies in supporting student government agencies at present levels, some thing that can not be done when an organization must operate out of surplus."
