Friday is in Western North
Carolina this week and plans
to discuss the issue with col
lege officials.
Hill made these comments:
"The resolution passed by the
Trustees of Asheville-B i 1 1 -more
College points again to
the necessity of developing a
comprehensive long-range pro
gram for higher education is
this state. It is to be expect
ed that other institutions in
North Carolina will also wish
to be considered for future Un
iversity status. It, therefore,
becomes all the more import
ant that major educational de
cisions, which these questions
require, be made within the
context of a sound plan for the
future of higher education in
this state. Such a plan is now
being developed under the di
rection of the Board of High
er Education.
"Although the Board of
Higher Education will work
with the Trustees of the Con
solidated University in consid
eration of this resolution, it

It takes about 75 seconds to walk through the
arboretum using the middle path. Suellen Evans
had walked about 40 seconds when a black hand
seized her and drove a "sharp bladed instru
ment" into her heart.
That was July 30, 1965. Almost one year later
the owner of the black hand, a killer, is still
loose.
Suellen has been dead that long.
Chapel Hill Police Chief William Blake says,
"This is the toughest case I have ever handled
in 25 years of police work."
The veteran law officer says the case "will
not be closed until it is solved."
But Blake admits that "the only way we
would ever get a conviction would be through
the killer's confession."
Police and State Bureau of Investigation of
ficers have followed up and eliminated 250 leads.
Many of the leads consisted of persons connected
with sex crimes.
Blake says that the motive, as far as police
are concerned, was attempted rape. Police are

Memorial Hospital was still en route to the scene,
Suellen died.
"He tried to rape me ... I believe I'm going
to faint," were her only words before dying.
Medical examiners reported that Suellen was
not raped.
There were no witnesses to the stabbing, al
though two coeds and two nuns reached Suellen
shortly before she died.
"She put up quite a fight and probably pulled
some of the hair we .found out of the attacker's
head," Blake said. Lab reports established that
hair found at scene was Negroid.
Police also made a plastic cast of a fresh
