senior- trustees, w reur
By SONJA PAYTON
August 1931 marks the retirement for
four senior members of the UNC Board
of Trustees. '
The retiring members are Hargrove
(Skipper) Bowles of Greensboro, Margaret
Harper of Southport, Walter Davis of
Midland, Texas, and Ralph Strayhorn of
Winston-Salem. Each has served eight
years and must leave the board because
of a law which states that a member may
serve only two four-year terms.
Bowles, now chairman of the Board,
said he planned to be active in University
affairs after his retirement. He is presently
chairman of a fund-raising committee for
the student activities center and president
of the Center for Alcohol Study.
Speaking of his involvement with UNC,
Bowles said, "Ifs been eight of the hap
piest years ever, and I've really enjoyed
it." -,:
Margaret Harper, the sole female
member of the Board, said she had not
been the silent member some might ex
pected a woman to be. "The men on the
board realized that I was a cooperative
member, not an outsider," she said. Mrs.
Harper said one of her most rewarding
experiences was her service on the Real
Property Study Committee, which chose
the present site of the Student Health
Center.
' "Ifs been a fine eight years working
with wonderful people, the University ex
panding greatly, and getting a lot of im
portant things accomplished," she said,
Ralph Strayhorn expressed a similar
attitude: "Ifs been most rewarding, an
absolute pleasure to work with and serve
the staff. I hope the time will come when
I will be able to serve in another capacity."
After graduating from here Strayhorn
served in the State House of Representa
tives from 1959-60. Since joining the
Board of Trustees in 1973, Strayhorn said
he found heading the Chancellor Search
Committee most satisfying. He said it was
quite an undertaking to sort through 200
suggestions until three of the best men
for the job were found. Strayhorn also
served as Chairman of the Utilities Com
mittee which provided funds for building
the new library.
Walter Davis, who could not be reach
ed for comment, served as Chairman of
the Board from 1975-77. He has worked
with the committee for the sale of utilities
and with the management of the Univer
sity's endowment funds. Recently he
pledged $1 million toward the Student
Athletio Center, i
Replacements for the retiring members
were appointed by Governor Hunt and
the Board of Governors. They are Walter
Tucker, who is returning for his second
term, Maurice Koury of Burlington, Bo Bo
Tanner of Rutherfordton and Bowman
Gray Jr. of Winston-Salem.

aged them to become acquainted with the
University and its services.

Four Tar Heel Days are scheduled each sum
mer, and the first program was held June 27.
Saturday's program included the only transfer

scheduled for July 18 and 25.
Each Tar Heel Day includes activities de
signed to give an overall view of campus life.

to come to the University and go through
any type of structured orientation program,"
Beeson said, "ft gives them a positive feeling
about the activities here."
A question and answer session following
the parents' program gives parents a one-on-one
opportunity to talk with faculty mem
bers and UNC students.
After lunch, the Department of University
: Housing provides sessions on campus hous-
ing in which students and parents visit the
residence halls before returning to Memorial
Hall for the closing speeches.

Chapel Hill and Carrboro have approved
changes in bus service to alleviate overcrowding
on routes serving student apartments 'for the fall
semester. Chapel Hill transportation member
Gerry Cohen said. ;
The C route will run along Jones Ferry Road to
serve Old Well, University Lake and Creenbelt
Apartments.
' These apartments are also served by the J route
which will have an extra bus available in case of
overcrowding.
The D route, which serves Pinegate and Fox
croft Apartments, will run every 20 minutes dur
ing peak hours instead of every 30 minutes. The
C route will run" every 40 minutes instead.of every
70 minutes, he said.
Service hours will also be extended next fall.
The fL route wi!l run until 11:45 p.m. and the C
and J routes will run until midnight.
Evening shared ride service in Carrboro will
serve only Estes Park Apartments. The K route,
which provided an express route from campus to
Kroger Plaza, was discontinued as of July 11,
Cohen said.
1 he increased bus service in Carrboro is funded
by the referendum passed last November, allow
ing property tax to be levied to pay for the bus
system, Cohen said. The referendum allows up to
10 cents per $100 evaluation of property, but the
town chose only to increase taxes by 4.5 cents
per$100.
The increased service in Chapel Hill was made
possible by funds saved from the eliminated K
route. - ; . '
Cohen said that he expects new bus schedules
to be available in mid-August.
