Some of the lines extended lor two or three city blocks. A pedestrian could hardly see the pavement on the Franklin Street-sidewalk for a while, what, with the other pedestrians around him. Anylxsly who (imp lied a dime had uphill work gel ling it back. The ticket business was tight as a man's hand in a wet lady's glove. One local citizen who us ually had access to a small sup ply of "squats” in Kenan Sta dium said at noon he hadn’t seen a ticket all morning "Oakleys” were simply nonexistent. A man looking for a couple of "perches" in "two m the kennel” for himself and his wile had a long row to hoi before he found them Even "wedgies' were hard to come by. People started entering Kenan stadium shortly after noon Wltid Powell and Charley Stan cell, representing the Chapel Hill Athletic Club, supervised the irn porfation of 20 dozen hot dogs, i igtd dozen doughnuts, 15 gallons of coffee, and assorted prefab sandwiches into the press box in the stadium. "That’s about par," said Mr. Stancell Before two o'clock it seemed that everywhere you looked there were parked cars One lady re ported it look her twenty minutes to get from ('arrboro to Chapel School Contracts Will Be Let Soon Contracts for the new Smith l/cvel elementary school will be let in aixjut five weeks, accord ing to the chairman of the Cha pel Hill School Board.

Dr Jones toM the Fellowship, "the School Board was presented with a pro posal to enlarge Northside School by replacing the substandard classroom* and adding new ones so that all students could be housed.

By the time all llie tickets were taken two or three more people might have gotten in it several hundred oth er people had all moved over an inch or so, but otherwise it was SRO, the biggest crowd since the 1948 UN( -Texas game. The Stale College bleachers produced a large sign reading "Go To Hell Whiskey Hill." It didn't lasi long. As usual, there was a dog loose on 'he field This year it was a German shepherd, the first pure bred canine lootball kibitzer to appear in some time. A young photographer in the press box said, "After I don't know how many years of coming here I’ve finally decided that if 1 wasn l taking pictures or dat ing. 1 would come to football games " A group of gentlemen from ATO Fraternity appeared on (he field in borrowed football uni forms with red jerseys and stag ed ti bogus warmup session. But for the fact that they were wear ing sneakers instead of cleats, more than the several thousand people who did would have as sumed they were Stale players.

Dr. Jones said Negro children in that area will be assigned to the school. "Sonic while students will be assigned." lie said and added that il was his conclusion that some of lhe while students will probab ly ask for reassignment. "If this happens," lie said, "ihe school will lie predominantly Negro I don’t see how it can be avoided." fir. Jones was asked whether sirh action would interrupt in tegration f He replied that he did not see thgt it would. He said the bchool Board is only secondly concern ed with integration at present.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1961 Tuition Road Is Complex Johnston Cites Varied Hurdles The path to a State school tui tion grant under the Pearsall Plan is long, circuitous and un certain. It has never been travel ed since the Pearsall Plan was passed in 1956. Reece Birmingham, the first man in the State to apply for such a tuition grant for his chil dren, had his request recom mended to the State Board of Education last week by the Cha pel Hill School Board. (Mr. Birmingham's two daught ers. Susan and Laura Jean, are enrolled in the Twaddell School in Durham, after having been assigned to the Carrboro School. The School Board voted for a tuition grant for Mr. Birming ham after finding it not "reason able and practical" to assign Su san and Laura Jean to the Hills boro School. The Hillsboro School is the nearest available all-white elementary school. Last Friday School Superin tendent Joseph Johnston explain ed the fences Mr. Birmingham's request will have to hurdle be fore he gets any money from the State: First the Chapel Hill School Jjoard must formally notify the State Board of Education ttiat Chapel Hill Schools are integrat ed that Mr. Birmingham re quested the tuition grant within * the required ten days as er the initial assignment; that the schools were integrated on Sept ember 6, the opening day of school: that the School Board did in fact find that reassignment of the Birmingham children to Hills boro was nol reasonable or prac tical; ami that the Board did recommend a tuition grant in stead.

Local atlorney Harold Edwards is representing' Mr Simons. "We re hoping to have it heard Monday,’’ said Mr. Rountree, "particularly the motion for dis missing the case.” If the court docs grant a hear ing it would he on the dismissal motion The State has filed two motions, one for dismissal, and another listing aliout 65 exceptions to the t o rn plaint.

Last to register will be first to go. School Superintendent Joseph Johnston said this would be the system on which he would work out the easing of the current cri tical space pinch at Estes Hills. Dr. Johnstoa said those to be transferred would probably be chosen by the first of this week. He added that he would try not to separate two children in the same family. The Chapel Hill School Board instructed Dr. Johnston at a meeting Tuesday to solve Estes Hills’ third and fifth grade popu lation explosions by transferring the necessary number of pupils to Gienwood or Carrboro Schools, where there is space for third and fifth graders. Dr. Johnston was also instructed not to assign any more pupils to the third or fifth grades in Estes Hills, which are bulging with 40 pupils per class. About 30 pupils is considered the optimum class load. Dr. Johnston said letters had been sent to the parents of all 160 third and fifth graders at Estes asking them to indicate whether they would volunteer or agree to transferral of their chiltfren, or ob ject to transferral. All the letters were returned, and there was only one volunteer for transferral. Dr. Johnston said he had had no vocal reaction to the impending trauasfenral, and that the only general reaction he knew of he had deducted from the fact that there was only one volunteer. Miss Mildred Mooneyhan, prin cipal of Estes Hills School, said the letters were sent to parents via the children last Wednesday, with instructions to send the let ters back the following morning. She said that several parents had written notes on the letters expressing their feelings about transferral "They teel very strongly about it," she said. "The parents out here like this school and they want to keep their children In it." She said she had been watching the growth of the Estes Hills area (Continued on Page 5) Merchants Meeting Scheduled Tuesday The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Mer chants Association Board of Di rectors meeting, orginally sche duled for 1 p.m. today at the Goody Shop, has been re-schedul ed for 1 pm. tomorrow at the Rathskeller.
