A surprise presentation was made Hoke Simpson's Number 1 roves By BEN TAYLOR o In 2:17 minutes a Colonial disc tella the story of UNC's finest hour in sports since Charlie Jus tice made ChooChoo" a house hold phrase a decade ago. m "Number One," recorded toy Caro lina's own Hoke Simpson, with the "Three Bums and A Drum" quartet, is what .we speak of. Those of you who have heard it spin will appre- lofty position UNC now holds as the nation's best basketball team. '" - ask? OrvUle Campbell, owner of Colonial Kecora co. nere in v nap el Hill, had this to say about the record's popularity. "Over 500 have been sold in Chap el Hill in less than the week the record has been out. And the pace does not seem to be slackening." It seems evident that if the rec ord continues to sell at its present rate, it will not only spread the fame of UNC and its poised basket ball igreats, but also the notoriety of the guitar weilding freshman from Larchmont, N. Y., Hoke Simp son. Carolina students probably re niember the Belafonte-styled per former from his appearances at the Carolina Calvacade of Talent last semester, or his special guest work with the UNC Men's Glee Club on their spring tour. His most recent song sty lings beneath Davie Poplar's shady limbs should further refresh the memories of those who may have forgotten the calypso warbler. Now he is making a bid to increase the scope of his audience. With "Num ber One" out, he may do just that. Although not a member himself, Simpson reached into the vocal ta lent grounds of the Men's Glee CJub and came up with a quartet to back him up which leaves little to be desired in respect to blend and harmony. Ken AJvord, a freshman from St. Petersburg Beach. Fla. booms out the bass. Jerry Purgason, a sopho more from Greensboro, N. C, car ries the lead. And the "elder" of the group, Ralph Harrington, a junior from Sanford, N. C , supplies the .WsSi tenor. The rhythmic bongo music eman ates from the fingers of sopho more Roy Cain, the fourth member of the quartet. Recently the group dubbed themselves "Three Bums and A Drum," which is now their official title. "The boys do a very professional i job on both songs and they are to ad mm sir Olive, the- Gerald W. Johnson scholarship; and Raymond P. Smith, Chapel Hill, the O. J. Cof fin Scholarship. Journalism Foundation income provides funds for these three scholar shops. The awards and other academic recognitions were announced by Dean Norval Neil Luxon. to senior James Chamblee. The gift was an enscribed set of book ends presented for "outstanding service for four years."

Expressing his concern over the implications of action taken by the j Legislature, Evans said: "I want to make it clear at the I outset that any views I have on this problem are my own and in no way represent the opinions of Student Government or students on this campus. "I believe that almost every one on campus, including most of the members of the Legislature were embarrassed and hurt by the incident that occurred at Umstead ; Park. "However, whether or not stu dent government should involve itself in censurim' our State Le-'is- I lature is a debatable question, and jl am certain that any people who ; think deeply about the far-re ach- by student government would agree with the Legislature's decis ion last evening.
