Whitehill has also received letters about his article from a New Jersey housewife, several retired professors, an Illinois athletic club and a Yale student who wants advice in planning his graduate studies. 1 Ever since he entered the teaching profession in 1944 at the University of Virginia, the young professor has been asked why ' he is teaching economics and commerce instead of going into the field of business' itself.

General Bill Lee was born in Dunn, and attended both Wake Forest and N. C. State Colleges, where he played on the football and baseball teams. When World War I began, he was 22 years old. The future father of the Air borne Infantry entered the wanting army ; witn a reserve commission of second lieutenant. He saw combat duty in France as a platoon leader and later as a company commander. After receiving his regular Army, commission in 1920, he spent the. next decade making the rounds of the various army schools, and teaching ' military science at State College. Always farseeing, he gradually emerged as an expert on tank warfare with a reputation for knowing more about foreign ar mor than any other American. He spent a full year as an officer in a French armored unit. Upon his return to the States, Lee came to the University at Chapel Hill to earn his bachelor of science degree in education. i Whitehill said yesterday in his office. "Although a professor may not receive a high or even an adequate salary, he receives non monetary advantages that far outweigh the monetary ones," the local writer explained. "In what other profession does a man get two weeks Christmas vacation, a week's spring vaca? tion and a three months' vaca tion in the summer to do re search or just loaf?" This was Whitehill's first full length magazine article, but he has written , numerous editorials for the Post and other maga zines. "My first editorial in the Post was the result of luck," he said.

Madry The thousands of students who attended the University of North Carolina in the peaceful days be fore the turn of the century and the first World War, as well as the visitors and residents of that period, will be almost overcome with nostalgia when they read William Meade Prince's book that has come from the press of Rinehart and Company. "The Southern Part of Heav en," which, is profusely illustrat ed by Prince, the famous illustra tor, now turned author, is an entertaining, colorful word pic ture of the days when Chapel Hill really was a sleepy college town when there were two streets that had names, Front Street, now Franklin, and back street, which still has the poetic name of Rosemary Lane. Instead of hitch-hiking to some part of the btate about every weekend students of those days felt they were lucky if they got home two or three times a-year condense it tol,800 words and send it to the Post. They told me to cut it to 800, and it was ac cepted for publication." Since then he has written sev eral editorials on business as well as on housing and the coal sit uation. This latest article, however, has received more comment than any of the others, and Whitehill has had to do a lot of explaining to people who have insisted that he feels that professors receive a high salary. "I definitely thing that the sal aries in the teaching profession are usually too low," he ; said "But I'm still glad "that I am in this profession."

Brockwell or "Bull" Durham, was consider ed an occasion. - Many of the students of those days--especially the freshmen arrived in Chapel Hill aboard the little -train, affectionately known as the Whooper; that puffed and groaned between Carrboro and University Station JO miles away. The Whooper was "made up ordi narily of Mr. Nesbit's ancient en gine and a combination passenger and baggage car under the charge of the fiercely mustachoed Cap tain Smith, the conductor, who was also flagman, brakeman and crew. He was a little man of great importance, but kindly withal, cracking jokes and bounding aboufc. on his spindly legs." He would let the small fry ride free to and from University Sta tion whenever they wanted, and Billy Prince and Collier Cobb and the Venable boys, Charles and Manning, were among his most frequent deadhead passen gers. .
