THURSDAY ISSUE Next Issue Monday Vol. 36, No. 16 CHAPEL HILL CHAFF By Louis Graves A I stated this fact in an ed-j itorial last week: 1). D. Car-| roll, who has been appointed chairman of the new Oranye County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, is a teetotal-] or. Whether or not his col leagues on the board, Remus J. Smith of Hillsboro and (i. M. Long of Cedar Grove, are also teetotalers 1 don’t know, but their published biographies show them, as well as Mr* Carroll, to be devoted churchmen. Thus] the make-up of the board] .justifies us in expecting con scientious enforcement of the law. However, the public! needn’t fear that piety will] fie overemphasized in the] •management of the liquor] stores. I have it on good au- ! thority that there is- no in-! tention on the part of the! board to have the stores opened every day with pray-1 er. * * £ When K. B. Cole was in j the Bank of Chapel Hill onei day last week and a teller was writing down his name, he said: “I’ve got royal blood in my veins l’m a descen dant of Old King ('ole. But that’s not all one of my grandfathers was named Stuart and they tell me I'm descended from Mary Stu art, the Queen.” The way I happen to know about this was that Mr. Cole telephoned me to ask about an incident in the career of Mary Queen of Scots. 1 fe>ked in a book to confirm what I thought I remember ed about this bit of history and gave him the answer This led us into a little talk • Continued on Page 2) James King Joins Faculty of U.N.C.

Shopping Centers j //of Topic | Considerable Heat Generated During Argument By Helene Ivey Shall giant regional shopping centers involving a minimum oi 25 acres of land become part ot the I Chapel Hill environs picture or shall this community retain its relatively small uptown business district plus the previously desig nated five neighborhood shopping centers <one on the Durham high way in the vicinity of the WCHL Radio Station, "one on the Airport Road in the Ranch House vicinity, | one at Glen Lennox, one at the ] interest ion of Pittsboro Street and j the By-pass 54, and one north ] west of the town at the intersection ; ol the New By-pass 54 and the i old Highway 54' 1 ? That question at a public hearing before the Cha ; I**l Hill Board of Aldermen and I the Planning Board of Chapel Hill ] and Environs became a bitter ver bal battle last Monday evening The issue was referred back to the Planning Board for further consideration. The Planning Board had reeom mended an amendment to the zon ing ordinance permitting such re gional shopping centers. Thus the public hearing. The B.

Sparrow died at the age of 95. He had lived here practically all his life, and his memories went back to the village of the early post-Civil War days.

His wite died several years ago. Mr Sparrow owned much land between* Windy Hill and Mount Bolus and the Airport Hoad.

Professors And Students Will Tell Real Needs ■ The main trouble appears to be that the North Carolina budget makers don't know what a univer sity is. The movement among trustees and others to have the missing items restored in the University of North Carolina budget is predi cated.on an assumption that mem bers of the N. C. Advisory Budget Commission have failed to recog nize what is required to maintain I a modern state university. [ In short, they don’t know the difference between a college and a university. That is the talk going the rounds in Chapel Hill ever since the bud get recommendations were analyz ed. culminating in a formal pres entation to the trustees last Mon day , Faculty members, students and I I others here are planning a care |ful campaign to make the mem bers of the Legislature aware of the actual needs of UNC. if stand ards of quality are to be maintain ed. Fundamental in the approach is the "educational” nature of the effort—to let the assembly know the special differences between a college and a university. The reason K necessary to make that delineation, it is stated by some faculty here, is that the budgeteers have indicated thpt the i faculty-student ratio, or the teach . ing work loads that faculty mam i hers should undertake, is Ika same i for all tax-supported institutions in . the state—without regard to the I kind of institution.
