It is an effortless thing to sit back and think of the legends,
traditions and history that abound in the past of UNC. The part
the University has played in the development of North Carolina
an be traced as easily as steps at the seashore.
But what does the future hold for UNC?
The Russian, "Sputnik", Governor Hodges' program of in
dustrializing the state and the overall industrial emphasis now
abroad in the Southeast have spotlighted education in North
Carolina.
Since fall, 1957, education has been re-evaluated and re
appraised nationally. Changes are being made, emphasis shifted
and the process has not been lost upon North Carolinians.
The spring debate over the amount of money to be allocated
to the state education programs headlined some of the weak
nesses in the state education program. Facts and figures showed
places where the University had slipped and long-range pro
jections showed other places where weaknesses would most like- .
ly develop.
Still not enough money was appropriated to meet entirely
the needs of the University, but enough was granted to perhaps

given an opportunity to complete
the equivalent of one year of
academic work, without establish
ing residence at any of the three
University campuses.
The program will be initiated
this fall here and will consist of
beginning courses in German
language and social science. An

Thillip Kennedy, the "Tar Heel Troubadour", will be featured
in a concert of folk songs and ballads next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
under Davie Poplar.
Kennedy, a U.N.C. graduate, is presently a research assistant
at WUNC-TV. In the spring of 1958 he recorded a series of
programs titled "Songs and Ballads of the Tar Heel Troubadour"
which will be presented over WUNC this fall.
Kennedy's program will include "Santy Ajina, Song of the
Cottonwood Tree", "Shenandoah", "The Missouri Mule from Ar
kansas" and many ethers. Student Activities Council presents
the program and invites all to attend. In case cf rain, Kennedy
will retreat to the Graham Memorial Lounge.
UNCs In 'Mademoiselle7
The special college edition of Mademoiselle features eight Carolina coeds as models for fall fash
ions. The girls were all photographed here on the Carelina campus at different well-known spots.
Ann Lucas, a senior this fall, was photograhed beside the Old Well and at an entrance to the
Arboretum.
Doug Kellam, a spring graduate, stands in fror.t of two women's dorms.
Lind Earle. a sophomore, was photographed ft the stone bench in front of Davie Poplar and
Nancye Smathers. a senior, stands beside ene of the wooden benches in McCorkle Place with two
Carolina gentlemen. .
Julia Stutts, a senior, is shown on the Meps ofthe Carolina Inn and again in Y Court with South
Building in the background. Sandra Carlton, senior, stands on one side of Silent Sam.
Dixie Woolcctt, a senior, was photographed standing irreverently cn the face of the Morehead

let the University hold its own. North Carolina, like some other
states, lacked the finances for anything more.
Outside of this big financial problem, the future for Uni
versity growth and expansion of the University could hardly look
better. Increased enrollment, the Univac 1105 and the Research
Triangle offer unlimited opportunities for expansion. The Uni
versity, undoubtedly, stands upon the threshold of an era when
it can and will serve North Carolina more than ever.
In 1921, the University's total enrollment was only 1,733
students; in the fall of 1958 enrollment was 7,513 and a pro
jected view anticipates a total enrollment of 14,921 in 1970.
Such spurts in the enrollment of a university entail much
planning, development and expansion if the University is to
continue producing graduates of the highest calibre. And second
rate education will not do.
Carolina is fortunate to have leadership aware of the im
portance of keeping pace with the increased educational stride
of the last half of the twentieth century. .
This realization was voiced by Consolidated University Presi-

'Nun's Story'
Forms Topic
Of Discussion
By JAXE McCORKLE
Father Francis Murphy of Saint
Thomas More Catholic Church will
lead an informal discussion on the
theme of "The Nun's Story" at
8 p.m., August 12, in Roland Park
er III. Graham Memorial.
The Summer Activities Council
chose the topic because of dis
agreement among Roman Catho-
! lies and between Catholics and
Protestants about the book's
j theme.
I The novel, which has been made
: into a movie, tells the story of
; a young woman who takes her
: Catholic vows to become a nun.
Later, because of conflict between
: obedience to the Church and obedi-
ence to the medical prcfes.Mon, she
1 is allowed to lawfully leave the
j convent and return to life as a
! nurse.
! Father Murphy will give a talk
. on his views of the bock and then
open discussion to the group. The
meeting is non-denominational and
everyone has been invited to at
tend. The Summer Activities Council
will hold a meeting Wednesday at
4:30 p.m. in Roland Parker III to
plan a party. Bill Baily, chairman
of the committee, urged everyone
help, "because I can't do the job
alone."
