Ohio, HAPPENINGS ON THE HILL Santa Makes Multitude Of Stops On University Campus By MARY ALYS VOORHEES Santa was a busy little man this week. And if you're interested in seeing just.how, hop aboard his sleigh, and we'll take a spin with him. First off was his stop yesterdaj at Oxford Orphanage, where the KDs and Delta Sigma Pis were en tertaining at a Christmas party After distributing presents to all the children, Santa .was back on his sleigh and headed toward the Hill. Stopping off at the Beta House, St. Nick became the center of at traction for all the underprivileged children being feted by the Betas. Moving on down the street, Santa pulled up his sled in front of the Pi Lam House, where they and the Stray Greeks were playing host off. their Christmas sermons, per haps adding something new. The Carrboro mills give all of their workers a turkey! And a bum down at the bus station has an easy time getting a handout. People do silly things, and some times they do wonderful things. One young veteran tripled his charge account to buy presents for leople who didn't need them. He Cooperated with others to send food and clothing to the needy. The spirit is to give, and he gave. But mostly Christmas is children. You see the light of pure amaze ment in the child's eyes when he sees a department store Santa Claus: The kid loves it, but the watcher is even more thrilled.

Vie Bubas, assistant Wolfpack basketball coach, said a chargethat he "improperly promised" IVfore land a five-year scholarship "is without foundation." Willis Casey, assistant athletic director at the college, said it was true that he was aware that Moreland, a Minden, La.j high school basketball star, had been given $80 to pay his transporta tion to State College. ' However, Casey said the interpre tation that Moreland was .2 student of the college at the time he ac cepted the money "is contrary to the facts." Moreover, Casey added, Moreland returned the money to- the donor, Dwight Laughlin of Bossier City, La., "within 43 hours" because "he had decided that he would enroll at Centennary College." ' The 6-8 lefthanded basketball player changed his mind again and did enroll at North Carolina State. The NCAA placed the col GM'S SLATE i Grail Room 4 p.m. Graham' Memorial Board of Directors. .

The unusual oratorio of Hein- rich Schuctz, "The Christmasj Story," is the principal work on' the program. The oratorio was yrittvn near the end of the com-; poser's lire and represents one of the finest expressions of this genius, I an important predecessor of Bach. During Schuetz's lifetime only the folo parts allotted to the evangelist-, narrator were published and it was j v t until 1903 that the complete in strumental and vocal parts were, discovered in manuscript in the; University Library of Upsala. Swe- den. j This concert's performanc e is j based upon parts derived from .ni-; crofilms of the Upsala mrnuscript. Soloists for the oratorio include: Jan Saxon, soprano: Gene Strassler, Roy Weaver and Joseph McAllister, i tenors; and Jamas ChamSlee and David Small, basses. Miss Saxon will be heard as the cngel and Strpssler will have the role of the evangelist who narrates the episodes of the Christmas story.

On the night of Nov. 16 they left a rock 'n roll concert in Ra- 'e'.gh and came to Chapel Hill. At about 6:25 a.m. Schoelling en tered Winston Dormitory and crept into the room where two students, Jim Ayres and Richard Billings, were sleeping. Billings woke up and found Schoelling in the act of stealing his wallet and class ring. Schooling fled. Billings gave 'chase and, joined by police cruising near by, caught Schoelling three blocks away. Van Rheen was found sleeping in a parked car. Schoelling had previously been released from two road sentences for the."t, while Van Rheen was on probation for robbery.

A former UNC student from Durham was on trial for breaking and entering University buildings to steal examination papers. , A student, Max Icenhour, accused the Darham man, Herbert ('.. Andrews Jr., of steal- ing examination papers last Vices in Caldwell Hall .and South IJuikiing. Andrews, called to the stand, repeatedly denied he had stolen the papers. Instead, he intima.ed Icenhour had done the stealing. Andrews is before Orange Superior Court Judge Raymond Mallard on charges of break ing and entering to steal the quizzes. Icenho ir, still a student at the University, appeared as "a state's witness. He admitted to -approach ng Antlivus in order to buy the examination, oettiiv it and using it on a qui last summer.

Sponsored by the YMCA and the YWCA, the service 1ias been J planned for the entire campus in anticipation of the real significance of Christmas. After the invocation by.

This happened again a later date, said Icenhour. Icenhour said when Honor Coun cil pressure built ut on the case. Andrews told him the council hau no real evidence. If Icenhour told the council anything about Andrews, he testified, Andrews said "1 had had it, as far: as I'm concerned." i Icenhour said he ' and Andrews i went to Dean of Student Affairs j Fred Weaver's office in South Build- j ing' at a later date, where Andrews j entered the office and produced his I (Andrews") and Icenhour's school ? records. Icenhour said he went to Uni versity officials and resorted the case, fearful of what the conse quences might be is he carried it any further.

THEY PAINTED MOREHEAD COLUMNS Vandals Are Unpopular With Building Dept. By PAGE BERNSTEIN The inconsiderate vandals who so maliciously painted Morehead Planetarium have made themselves especially unpopular with members of the Building Dept. of the Univer sity. However, it has become a chal lenge to the "campus-keepers" for they are attempting to clean the unsightly damage without destroy ing the looks of the columns. To date, three methods of clean ing have been used. G. F. Horney of the Building Dept., said that a process of using steam has been tried. When this failed, a sugges tion by a limestone manufacturer was put to the test. This was to envelope the columns in a "soaking" of hot quicklime. The purpose was to bleach the paint out. This also failed, but not vompletely.Between the steam and the lime, a goodly part of the sur face of destruction was clear. Only the penatration of the extra thin paint remains. The third method has now been brought into being. That is the old standby elbow grease. Workmen are now attempting to rub it off. sale and of breaking into ot drews made several threats. One of' them: "He said 'No matter how this thing comes out, you'll have me to face . . . You could be run over mysteriously by a car . . . Andrews, who said he now works at his father's clothing store in Durham, was suspended by the Uni versity several years ao. lie also has served a prison sentence in connection with a liquor still raid. He denied ever going to the Cald well office and South Building with Icenhour, and intimated Icenhour was the one ! tion. who got the examina- Andrews said he never threated Icenhour when the Honor Council pressure was on. He said several students had approached him (Andrews about getting examina iion papers, but that he did not provide them. Hodges Enter Rhodes 1 i-inff e USC student Luther Hodye. Jr. was named one of two 'North f Carolina finalists in the 195S ; Rhodes Schol.via:p competition j Rhodes Scholarship competition I in Durham Wednesday. Hodges, a senior majoring in economics. was chosen from ; among 15 semifinalists by the ; State Selection Committee. He j and the other finalist Malcolm i It. Williamson of Duke University ' will go before the Southern District Committee tomorrow in Atlanta, da. In Atlanta, they will meet ten oth?r finalists from Florida. Georgia, South Carolina, Tennes see and Virginia. Four winners selected from this group will re ceive Rhodes Scholarships for a minimum of two years' study at Oxford University. Hodges has served as president of the Consolidated University Student Council, a member of the Men's Honor Council and as a commencement marshall. Homey enough feels this might work. With time, the penetrated paint may point become "so.tened" where steam could to the wash it out. It will be tried anyway. The workmen jjersonally feel that the time and clfoit spent on the columns have been enough to wash -iway the pillars but they still stub bornly stand. Horney said that everything will be tried to dean them before they qive up. IN THE INFIRMARY Students in the Infirmary yes terday included: Miis Gail Norman and Frances Dcbrowoliki, Marion Bell, Charl es Gray III, Ivey L. Heath Jr., Robert J. Harned, Jack Lewis, Gary E.
