Authorities Start Quest For Student Friends of Youth Throw No Light i: On Occurrence i Whereabouts of Robert Laur ance Moore, University student who disappeared February 28 af ter leaving Eugene to “spend a weekend in Portland,’’ remained unknown Tuesday with authori ties being asked to help in the search for him. According to Moore’s landlady, the missing student left his Alder street boarding house shortly be fore noon Friday, February 28, telling her he would be back Sun day evening. When he failed to appear Monday, March 3, she no tified Dean of Men Virgil D. Earl. Not Home Thinking he might have gone home, Dean Earl telephoned his father, Earl B. Moore, John Day attorney, to ask if he were there. Moore’s father came to Eugene Saturday, March 9, to confer with University authorities about his son’s disappearance. At that time, Dean Earl related, he advised Mr. Moore to notify the state offi cials, but he preferred to keep the case off the public record if possible. Not Unusual Mr. Moore questioned Portland friends of his son, and several of them reported seeing the missing boy the weekend of March 1, but said there was “nothing unusual” about his actions then. One student was said to have gone to Portland with Moore, but upon questioning denied going to Portland that weekend at all. Reliable Eugene friends of Moore’s de scribed him as “sober, steady, and reliable.” While in Walla Walla, where he attended Whit man college for two years, Moore reportedly was active in church work. Moore’s landlady described him as a “wonderful boy,” “perfect roomer.” Before he left, she said, he took enough clothes “to tide him over a long weekend.” She observed that his devotion to his parents “was unusual.” He is a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity at Whitman col lege, but has not affiliated with th2 chapter here.
