the committee members.
They will recommend that
specified areas be set aside for
selling.

The unsettled deconsolidation question has left
Consolidated University President William C. Friday
unsure of whether or not to make a recommendation for
a successor to Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson.
Friday will take the appointment question to the
meeting of the executive committee of the University
Board of Trustees July 9.
Friday said several weeks ago he would not
recommend a candidate for chancellor until after the
N.C. General Assembly had made up its mind about
deconsolidating the Consolidated University.
A special session of the Assembly will convene on,
Oct. 25 to discuss deconsolidation. Sitterson is slated to
step down Sept. 1 .
Friday was scheduled to recommend to the full Board
of Trustees one candidate, picked from a list of three
submitted to him this spring by the Chancellor Selection
Committee.
Friday said he wanted to make sure there would be a
position of chancellor before he recommended a choice.
He also said that Jhis decision of which of the three to
recommend might hinge on the amount of power or
responsibility the man would have.
This power or responsibility is subject to change,
depending on whether or not changes in the structure of
higher education are made in this fall's special session of
the Assembly.
meet again soon to discuss
which areas would be most
suitable for vending. A stall
system on the south side of
Franklin is also being
considered.
Lee will study the
recommendations as soon as
they are completed and, if
they are acceptable to him,
present them to an informal
meeting of the Board of
Aldermen Friday.
The advisory committee
was formed after a near
confrontation between city
police and demonstrators
protesting the vending
ordinance on Franklin Street
last Thursday.
Demonstrators spread
blankets on the sidewalk and
gave away flowers and food.
Petitions urging the mayor to
let the vendors return were
circulated.
Lee arrived at the
demonstration several
minutes before the police. He
talked to the students, read
the petition and arranged a
meeting with the leaders of
the demonstration.
Police then arrived under
orders from Chapel Hill
Police Chief William D. Blake,
and ordered the
demonstrators to move or be
arrested for obstructing the
sidewalk.
Al Hays, one of the leaders
of the protest, was arrested.
Lee overruled the police
captajn and released the
bearded demonstrator after
he had spent 15 minutes in a
police car.
"I think we can work this
out," said Lee. "I don't want
this to end up as a
confrontation and create a
polarized situation on the
matter."
Lee fought the decision of
the Aldermen to ban street
selling. After the clause
permitting the sale of flowers
was ruled discriminatory by
the North Carolina Supreme
Court, the mayor favored '
revision of the vending
ordinance to allow another
type of regulation. Instead,
'the Aldermen chose to let the
ordinance stand without the
clause.
Last issue
This is the last issue of the Tar Heel this summer
session. We will resume publication July 22. Good luck
on your exams.

Old-Fashioned Fourth
20,000 people gathered in Kenan
Stadium Sunday night for the
fireworks climax of Chapel Hill's
"Old-Fashioned Fourth."
Termed the most successful Fourth
celebration ever, the festivities began
with an afternoon parade from
downtown Carrboro to the Kenan
parking lot. Bingo, penny-pitching,
helium balloons and cotton candy
filled the slate of afternoon
attractions. Evening brought the
catered chicken dinners and, of
course, the fireworks.
The local chapter of the American
Field Service, sponsor of the
celebration, hopes to have cleared
$2,000 on the concessions. The
profits will be used to cover expenses
for a one-year visit by a foreign
exchange student and for a local
student's travel abroad.
