felt it important to limit the
number of scholarships to be
awarded in this first year of the
Foundation's scholarship program.
The purpose of, this limitation is
to stress the rigid qualifications
that will be required of Morehead
scholars."
He added, ''It was not a ques
tion of weeding out the men who
didn't measure up to our stand
ards, but one of picking the most
deserving.
"We are very fortunate. to have
had such a wonderful field from
which to choose. It was a hard
job to make the final selection."

Black recalls that he was having
a cup. of coffee in a Red Cross
canteen when someone came in
and asked if any of the American
soldiers there would like to play
the part of English soldiers in a
movie. Although Black signed
immediately, he had no idea the
movie was the famous "Henry V."
The contract called for three
days work at $6 a day, but Black
was only too glad to get to work
with Oliver, he added. Black re

Permit Given
To Curve Inn;
Opens Today
The Curve Inn opens again to
day after a long period of dispute
over the issuance of a state beer
permit. Ed Johnson, the new
operator, announced yesterday
the permit and license had been
issued and that business would
operate as previously.
The town permit was issued on
April 2, but the state permit was
held back because of a petition
opposing the granting of the per
mit was sent to the state board
by about 50 residents of the
Strow.d Hill area. The complaint
was that too much noise and litter
came from the establishment. . ...
The student-frequented drive
in was closed about two and a
half months ago because it could
not operate profitably and com
ply with a town ordinance prohi
biting the drinking of beer out
side of the building.
The "on the premises" permit,
according to an opinion by At
torney General Harry McMullan,
includes the lot on which the
building is located.
That test case will be necessary
before the legality of the ordi
nance can be determined was an
other of the opinions given by
the Attorney General in a letter
to Mayor Lanier.
Dr. S. A. Nathan, owner of the
Curve Inn, has remodeled the
building and plans to landscape
the lot in the near future.
Black joined the Little Theater
group there and took part in sev
eral of its productions over the
past two years. Among them were,
"You Can't Take It with You,"
"Life with Father," and "Night
Must Fall."
Tickets to the production are
on sale at Swain Hall and at the
box office on performance nights.
The Playmaker staff has staged
some elaborate decorations for
the production. Irene Smart, Play
maker costume designer, has ex
ecuted a number of colorful cos
tumes. Frank Groscclose, Atlanta, Ga.,
and Virginia Michalak, Durham,
will play the title roles.
