George Will
Have To Go,
Say Police
By JACKIE GOODMAN
George, the campus collie, is in
trouble again.
This time, however, it looks like
he will have to leave Chapel Hill
for good, one way or another.
According to Mrs. A. M. Jordan,
treasurer of the Chapel Hill Hu
mane Society, the collie, who is
usually seen strolling around the
campus or asleep in front of the
Intimate Bookshop was taken to
the Humane Society's pens Mon
day. He will be kept there for 14
days, after which he will have to
he killed if a home outside of
Chapel Hill is not found for him.
The cause of the removal of
George from his usual habitat
came last Saturday, according to
the Humane Society treasurer,
when three people reported to the
Chapel Hill police that they had
been bitten .by the dog.
COULDN'T CATCH GEORGE
. "The police got the county dog
catcher, but he couldn't catch
George, I did," said Mrs.. Jordan.
Mrs. Jordan said that she was able
to catch the collie because she has
fed him and taken care of him
before.
Mrs. Jordan said that Wade
Stockard, whose daughter owns
George, has refused to pay for
George's stay at the Humane So
ciety's pens.
WHO DID IT?
According to Mrs. Jordan, there
is no definite proof that George
is the dogwhich bit thethree jeo
pie. bne said tnat tne culprit may
be another collie which is of ten
seen around the campus and which
belongs- to one of the fraternities.
She is trying now to locate the one
person who 'left his' name when
reporting the incident to the po
lice to see if he can definitely
identify George as the dog that,
bit him. ' .

Talked At SP Meeting
Exam scheduling, the need for
more dormitories and the intro
duction of the Honor System to
new faculty members were dis
cussed by the Student Party at its
meeting last Monday night.
Miss Pat McBane, a member of
the party's advisory board, dis
cussed the problem of exam sched
ules. She brought up the possibil
ity of initiating a reading day be
fore exam week to ease the heavy
schedules which some students
have. She said that when she
talked with Dean of Student Af
fairs Fred Weaver about the prob
lem he advised that students with
heavy exam schedules should go
to the deans of the schools rather
than the ndividual professors to
have their schedules changed. Miss
McBane added that Dean Weaver
said that he did not see how any
thing could be done about chang
ing the exam scheduling now.

He brought up two means by
which it could obtain the dorms,

efactors. He proposed that the
party start work on the problem
now, as it would take a long range
program to solve it..
Charlie Wolf suggested that an

Bryan, who last month unleashed

Chapel HilL yesterday received
a letter from North Carolina At

on the subject.
(Bryan had previously written
a letter to Gov. Luther Hodges,
asking State help in investigating
the current gasoline situation
here. Bryan (SP) and fellow Leg

By MAJORIE WYLDE
Wendell Corey, one of. America's
most versatile actors, will perform
here Friday and Saturday night,
Jan. 14-15.
He will play Lieutenant Green
wald in The Caine Mutiny Court
Martial, to be presented in Memor
ial Hall at 8:30 p. m.
Corey is noted for such disting
uished and varied screen portray
als as a homicide in The Accused,
the romantic gambler in The Fur
ies, when he costarred with Bar
bara Stanwyck with whom he also
appeared in Sorry, Wrong Number
and the recently completed Alfred
Hitchcock production, Rear Win
dow.
His stage successes include
Dream Girl, The Voice of the Tur
tle, in which he appeared in the
London Company, and Sabrinn
Fair, in which he toured around
the country
Corey fans love to see him in a
role of Lieutenant Greenwald, the
clever yet unassuming and semi
apologetic "sea lawyer." As coun
sel for the heroic Lt. Steve Maryk
in his court martial for his alleged
mutinous conduct, he puts on a
hrillinat and winning performance.
His friends predict that this
play, with the subtle production
values contributed by Paul Gre
gory and Charles Laughton, plus
the sharp-shooting punch of the
lines provided bv the author. Her
man' Wrouk, will powerfully in
trench Corey in the forefront o'
his profession.
In addition to Corey, the cast
of the Caine Mutiny Court Martial
includes Steve Brodie as Lt. Steve
Maryk and Paul Dousrlas as the un
forgettable Captain Queeg.
