It's the first time in a year that he didn't have anything to do with it. Bob took over the job of man aging editor of the campus dai ly last spring in the face of a nasty crisis in student publica tions. The student legislature was out to abolish everything that is printed, the budget was low, and optimism concerning the fu ture of our undergraduate acti vities had gone out of existence for the duration.

Perhaps his finest journalistic accomplishment, however, was as editor of the summer Tar Heel when he succeeded in publishing the first real summer "newspa per" at the Hill in many years. A political science major, Bob is from Williamsburg, Va. and a naval reservist in V-7, expecting call to active duty when he gra duates nn June. A managing editor of the Tar Heel must necessarily be a jack-of-all trades, a judge, a father, and a miser.

F-3H7 NUMBER 125 1L "jSr iz Dean Wettach Will Release Full Stateme Governor Broughton Announces Decision By Jud Kinberg The Daily Tar Heel learned last night, from a prepared statement from the Governor's office, that Duke university had killed the proposed merger plan with Carolina and Wake Forest law schools. In a telephone conversation Governor J. M. Broughton told a DTH reporter that Duke had decided to continue its school as a separate unit and would be un able to participate for "practical reasons." Wettach Dean Wettach of the Caro lina law school on learning of the decision, stated that plans had already been formulated "to continue our school as usual in the event that the Duke decision was negative." The negative reply to the pro posal made" by the UNC board f trustees in a conference with Governor Broughton earlier in the week cancels a plan that would have called for consolida tion for the three schools, use of the three faculties &d the rota tional location of the combined law school in the three universi ties. Wake Forest Wake Forest, through Brough ton, accepted the plan at the original conference and only the Duke decision held up the final verdict.

Responsible for the popular and novel Tar Heel News Analyst programs which every week pre sents a discussion headed by an authority in a vital field, Bob also formulated format changes, the most obvious of which was the convenient arrangement of news briefs in column six, thus facili tating daily make-up of the paper. Phlegmatic, meticulous, Bob put out a front page reflecting his own personality, a paper of news and service to the campus. He is succeded by Ernie Frankel, who assumed duties yesterday.
