Former Ed. Paul
Boswell Moves
BY KAY WATSON
At the end of the 1966-1967 school
year, Paul Boswell was appointed
as editor of the weekly Carolina
Journal. However, one week later
he found out that his family might
be moving to Pennsylvania. Ac
cording to Paul, he was not too
worried because his family had
been threatened with transfer be
fore, but to no avail. But when
his father began to commute each
week to Indiana, Pennsylvania,
Paul came to realize that what he
had imagined would never come
true was doing just that.
So now Paul has joined his
family in Penn Run, Pennsylvama,
hwere they are living until they
can build a-home in Indiana, Penn
sylvania. Paul said, “The village
of Penn Run has an insignificant
number of people and Indiana con
tains about iS,000 souls. So I
did not run off to the big city. . .”
He i s hoping to continue his
’ournalism career by working on
tie staff of the Indiana Penn.
Paul’s plans for the future in
clude graduate school. He will be
a Rending Indiana University of
I ennsylvania. But right now, he is
gaing through a hectic week of
orientation. He misses everybody
and wants them to write to him if
they have time. His temporary
address is P. 0. Box 395, Penn
Run, Pennsylvania.
When Paul learned of his fat
her’s transfer, he says he
“informed Dr. McCall to begin a
search for a new talent in journa
lism.” The result of that search
was Miss Gayle Watts. Gayle is
busy learning the ins and outs of
the newspaper business. But there
is more about Gayle and her new
job elsewhere.

SAT Policy
Is Changed
The University has made a sub
stantial change in policy on the
admission of special students
which will pave the way for an
adult education program.
1. The student must be 21 years
of age or over.
2. The student must be qualified
for the course or courses for which
he wishes to enroll, either bypre-
vious academic work or by ex
perience in the business world or
military service.
3. The student must understand
at the time of his registration
that no work undertaken while he
is classified special student may
ever be counted toward a degree.
4. The student must understand
that he may not deprive a degree
student of a place in class.
The change is in effect now, and
persons in the Charlotte area have
been invited to take courses for
self - improvement or updating
skills. For oxample two courses
in speech in parCirular may appeal
to the person who does not want
to take them for credit.
Dr. McEniry, vice chancellor tor
academic affairs, said that the
change in policy is in keeping with
our University’s plan tobecomt>an

ON THE SPOT
In the game of life opportuni

ability gets the credit.
Burson is Named Prof.
PAUL BOSWELL
Dr, Sherman L. Burson has be
come the first Charles H. Stone
Professor of Chemistry. He was
named so by the Executive Com
mittee of the University of North
Carolina Trustees, This appoint
ment meaqs that Dr. Burson will
get a salary supplement from the
Charles H. Stone Fund in addition
to the salary provided by the State
of North Carolina.
Dr. Burson took his BS degree
at the University of Pittsburgh in
1947 and his PhJ5. there in 1953.
From 1952tol957he was employed
as a research chemist at Ledorle
Laboratories Division of the

Murphy Says t/iVC-C
Will Own Finest Plant
According to Dr. Harvey F.
Murphy, head oi the physical ed
ucation program here, the Univer
sity will have the finest physical
education plant in the Southeast
by combining two building pro
jects.
The proposal to combine funds
for a field house with funds for
a health and physical education
building was approved at .m Aug
ust 18 meeting of the Advisory
Budget Commission.
The 1965 General Assembly had
authorized $250,000 for the field
house. However, because of plan
ning delays the structure had not
yet been built.
The 1967 General Assembly had
cut the authorization for the phy
sical education facility from the
$4,120,000 recommended by tb.:
Governor and the Advisory Bucket
Commission to a final authcri-
zatiwi of $3,620,000, Bee .use
architects Cameron, LittJ and
Associates already were in the
advanced planning stage? for the
$4.1 million structure, ne insti
tution faced the expense and delay
of redesigning.
Since the Advisory Budget Com
mission has approved the combina
tion, a total of $3,858,000 is now
available for the phjfsical education
facility. The University had
already paid $12,000 in architects
fees for the unbuilt field house.
If a complete redesigh and been
required, architects feared that a
vital part of the facility would have
had to be cut.
Now that the institution is within
$262,000 of the original figure,
the architects hope to build es
sentially the same structure they
had originally planned.
The architects received word on
August 24 from the Department of
Property Control that the design
and development drawings have
been approved and the working
drawings may be begun.
istry at Pfeiffer College. He be
came a member of our faculty in
1963 and has been acting chairman
of the Department of Chemistry.
He is the holder of a National
Science Foundation grant, which
has been renewed to June M, 1968.
In naming Dr. Burson to the
Stone prtrfessorship. Chancellor
Colvard said, “We think it espec
ially commendable in Dr. Burson
that as he has built a chemistry
department and an entirely accep
table program, he has himself
continued in active research.”
Our University has received
three other funds with which to
provide named professorships, but
they have not yet earned suffi
cient income to provide substan
tial salary supplements.
The Charles H. Stone Fund was
established with a substantial en
dowment by Mrs. Stone in memory
of her husband. The net income
from the endowment is to be used
for the payment of salary supple
ments to a distinguished member
or members of our chemistry
faculty. ^
Mr. Sterne, a native of Stokes i
County, North Carolina, was a I
pioneer in the chemical and dye
stuff industry in the South. Before
World War 1 he was employed by
a German chemical company.
Later he formed his own company
in Charlotte and operated it until
1937 when it was purchased by
the American Cyanamid Company.
Mr. StMie died October 20, 1963.
