Coed-Go r Mishap'
Christmas decoration lights
have been turned off and will
not be turned on again until the
traffic disturbance can be cleared
up, Town Manager Tom Rose
said last night.
Jane Berryhill was struck by a
car Tuesday night while crossing"
the street at the corner-of Cam
eron and Columbia streets.
The driver of the car said he
couldn't tell where the signal
light and the decorations stopped.
: Several near accidents have al
so occurred at , the several inter
sections where the decorations
are strung, Rose further stated.
Mayor Ed Lanier said the Mer-
chants. Association put the lights
up. They were to get permission
from the town.
Rose said he didn't know the
lights were going up until he saw
workmen putting them up. They
never notified his office or se
cured permission from him be
fore putting them up.
University linemen, under con
tract to the Merchant's Associa
tion, strung the decorations.
Neither the town nor the Uni
versity are connected with them.
.Miss Berryh'iil, coed sopho
more, was badly bruised a n d
shaken up by the accident Treat
ed at. the infirmary, she returned
to her classes yesterday morn
ing. She is the daughter of Dr. and
Mrs. W. R. Berryhill.
Many complaints have been,
made to to town manager and
the mayor as to the difficulty to
fli'stinguish between the decora
tions and" the traffic signals.
A student hearing of the acci
dent stated, ''Luckily no serious
accident has occurred as yet. It is
a, shame students and others
have to be knocked down, driv
ers frightened, and : possibly
something even more drastic take
place before something is done."

Bogus Money
Is Circulated
By Bank Here
Some "of the bogus $20 dollar
bills now being circulated in this
area were traced to the Chapel
Hill bank. .
Meanwhile, Durham police and
Federal agents were continuing
a search for the source of them,
which a Rougemont farmer
claims he found in a tobacco
pack shed, lie deposited, all but
$720 of the $3,720 he found, in
a Durham bank which put it in
circulation.
-
Charles S. Allen, president of
the Citizens National Bajik, said
the farmer, -Walter Wilkins, had
deposited the $3000 in the , bank,
and that the bank inadvertently
put the bills in circulation before
discovering they were phony.
The bills found by Wilkins had
been in circulation since 1949,
but none had been successfully,
passed within the past two years,
the Secret Service agent, George
J," Dipper, on the investigation
said yesterday.
"These notes are considered of
excellent workmanship, and per
sons who are not accustomed to
handling currency in large vol
ume and many of those who are
so accustomed might very eas
ily accept counterfeit notes such
as these unless they made a very
careful inspection arid -maintained
an almost constant vigil for
counterfeit money," Dipper added.

tainment for the two schools. -The
Duke Cavaliers, a collegi
ate orchestra led by a Duke senior
but composed of a big majority of
Carolina men, shows that the two
schools can get along fine when it
comes to "noisemaking."
The musicmen speak together,
eat together, and accompany one
another for the benefit of their
listeners-mostly Dukesters, - in
cidentally. Apparently, more Duke
organizations like to have dances
than do Carolina ones.
The Cavaliers (the name wasri't
picked after the University of
Virginia nickname) were organ
ized on. a "shoestring", partly
made up of some of the old mem
bers of the John Satterfield Band,"
former Carolina student, how
composed of 13 instrumentalists
and two vocalists, it will, appear
over a nation-wide CBS hookup

, The orchestra, more like a
"Bandstra" because of just one
string piece plays the Les Brown
brand of dance music,. Although
a major part of the Cavaliers'
work is done on the Duke and

plays for several functions
throughout this State, Virginia,
and other southern areas, . .

Prof Says Public Education
Has Self -Destructive Forces
Public education in the United States is rapidly developing
conditions which may bring it grief, Dr. Edgar W. Knight,

Kappa initiation banquet in the Carolina Inn.

Gould return, Knight said, they
would probably thing that "unless
history and human experience are
strangely misleading, the great
public school system of the Unit
ed States seems to be in danger
of developing conditions not al
together unlike some of those
that brought brief to the Christ
ian church in the sixteenth cen
tury and caused one of the major
revolutions in history."
Complicated Administrations
Dr. Knight : said that "highly
centralized and complicated ad
ministrative machinery of the
medieval church its, claims of
monopoly on salvation and truth
and making doubtful sinful, and
power which ecclesiastical mid
gets gained 'in the seats of the
ecclesiastical mighty were rapid
ly finding striking parallels in
the American . system of public
education."
The early records of Phi Beta
Kappa, which was founded 175
years ago of the darkest periods
of the nation's history, clearly
show that "its members were no
tame and . complacent conform
ists but instead were unafraid of
their minds and discussed some
knotty questions which were
then baffling their elders.
- "Among these were religious,
freedom and the separation of
the church and state and the jus
tice of Negro Slavery, and sever
al times they discussed public
education, which these young
men viewed as among the dear
est decencies of democracy," Dr.
Knight said.
' Extreme Centralization
Extremely fioU ne asma
He asserted that "if Jefferson
and the founders of Phi Beta
Kappa, who believed that no in
terest was nearer the heart of
a wise state, than the education
of youth, could return and look
at .what happened to the great
institution, they ' would be as
tonished at its complicated ad
ministrative machinery, its ex
treme centralization and secular
ation, the tendency of the Su
preme Court of the United States
to beecome the national school
board, and the increasing threat
of developing in this country an
educational priestcraft not unlike
the ecclesiastical priestcraft that
developed in the medieval
church. Excessive and highly
complicated ecclesiastical book
keeping was not one of the lesser
causes of the Protestant Revolt,'
Dr. Knight said.
Educational Monopolies
"Jefferson and these other
alert young men would have to
notice that, just as the powerful
church came to claim a monopoly
on universal salvation, the pow
erful American: school system is
rapidly coming to claim a mono
poly on? universal education and
