'Powerful Dramas About Real People' Locally Produced Radio Shows To Be Heard Throughout Nation Carolina has completed its first dramatic radio series pre pared for national distribution. Entitled "American Adven ture," the 13-program recorded series was produced by the Com munication Center of the Univer sity, and deals with some of the basic values of western man as these values have been used and interpreted in this country. Earl Wynn, director of the Communication Center, says "The series is the most import ant release of the Center, to date." The program includes a story based on one phase of the life of Tom Wolfe, famous Tar Heel alumnus. A series of half-hour dramas, the programs were written by John M. Ehle and directed by John S. Clayton. Many of them are based on historical incidents and characters. The programs will be broad cast first over the stations of the National Association of Educa tional Broadcasters, .through whom the University received a Fund for Adult Education grant in aid Tor the production of the series. The programs will then be of fered to other stations and net works in this country arid a- broad. Samuel Selden, director of the Carolina Playmakers, Pulitzer prize winning playwright Paul Green, and novelist Noel Hous ton have endorsed the series. Professor Robert Schenkkan, v'ho prepared the proposal on which the series is based and w'ho was active in the develop ment of the series itself, says that emphasis from the begin ning was on producing "power ful dramas about real people, P'ays which say something worth h e a r i n g." Professor Schenkkan believes the complet ed scries serves this purpose ex cellently. Nine professors served as con sultants for the series, reading and criticizing each script be fore it was produced so that the writer might re-write the scripts ! ta!e advantage of the opin "mis of authorities in different fields of learning.

Patton listed the victims as Ar nold Culbreth, Jr., 319 Everett, and Frank Butler, in 112. Fifteen dollars was stolen from Culbreth and Butler lost "between $10 arid $15." Culbreth, a sophomore, said the $15 was stolen one night a week ago between 10:30 and 11 o'clock. "I was in the room next door with the other fellows," he said. "It was the first time I ever left my bill fold out of my drawer in two years. When I went , back in the room the wallet was lying open with three five-dollar bills miss ing." Culbreth said he didn't "have any idea" who could have taken the money. "I thought it was some body on the hall until something was gone on the first floor the othe1? night. "If the fellow needed the money that bad, I'd have been glad to split with him. But taking it all . . . that doesn't go," Culbreth said. Frank Butler, a freshman, re ported his 10 or 15 dollars were stolen while he was asleep last Thursday night "around 12:30." He said he had "not the slightest idea" who took the money, and added, "It's gone now and there's nothing you can do about it. "You'd have to plan to catch one of these thieves," said Butler. Manager Patton, comn2nting on the thefts, sa' j, "The boys should lock thA.'rooms when they're go 'g down the hall and even when they're asleep. We're'right here at the end of the semester and there are some boys who are leaving quitting, getting kicked mi. grad uating and just leaving tor some reason and they figure they have n't got a thing to iose.' "If somebody'd keep a record of the thefts, they'd see it jumps 500 percent right at the end of the term," said Patton. Capt. W. D. Blake of the Chapel Hill Police Department said sev eral weeks ago, when close to $90 had been stolen in the course of one week, that the University has 'rouble with such thefts every vear just before Christmas holi days and at the end of school 'errns. This week's money thefts bring he total of reported robberies up 'o more than $111.

The queen, Miss Toby Gerard, a 21-year-old University of Miami senior living at Miami Leach, gave the unqualified answer to a statement by Miss Barbara Spiro of Forest Hills, N. Y., that she won because of falsies. Miss Spiro placed third in the contest held Hs Sunday. Miss Gerard, talking sweetly, said: "There was no stipulation for or against falsies during the judging. "The answer, as far as I am concerned, is no. There was noth ing false about the contest, and that goes for me, too. , "Miss Spiro was a sweet girl, but she couldn't possibly know. She wasn't in my dressing room. The judges didn't examine us for falsies. I'd like to know where she got her information, and I hope her sweerness wasn't false." Miss Spiro is a junior at New York City College. The contest drew another headline in Miami today. Miss Johnnie White, 19-year-old Mi ami journalist student, said she entered eight days after the official deadline simply to find out how such contests are con ducted and to write a story for the university newspaper, "The : - - hAA '! v ..
