Foy Baker'y Week 'Ghosf Said To Be Haunting Hillsboro Street Residence Chapel Hill has a new ghost story. There isn't a real ghost involv ed, and no one has said he be lieves there is. This 'ghost' has given rise to a tale that is bringing hundreds of curiosity seekers to the .late Foy Baker's home each evening,- al though it is only a thin night time shadow in a roughly human shape. v The late 60-year-old Negro ran a barbecue stand on' W. Rosemary street for a number of years. He died in his sleep last Sept. 24, and since that time his ; wife,: Laura has continued to live with her soil in their one story frame house oh North Hillsboro street. A bright green metal rocking chair on the front porch was his favorite chair,. he used to sit there every 'evening before his passing ; k 'virUyi Timtljr', a passsrby noticed Powder Bowl Slated Tomorrow Afternoon The .

They saw a shadow from a street light from which shone on a wooden pillow of the front porch has left a single dark image across a brilliant yellow pillow at the top of the high backed chair.

C. State athletic funds, aren't worrying outspoken Paul Foght, editor of the offending Tech- hnician. As a result of his writings last fall and this winter, a letter calling Foght's articles "scurhous 1 and false" has been sent to State Chancellor J. W. Harrelson. It was signed by 16 members of the Board of Directors of Mecklen burg chapter of the General Al umni Association of N. C. State. The letter also wanted informa tion on staff members who had "foreign-sounding names," Foght told a Daily Tar Heel reporter; "I think the letter is Dave; Clark inspired," Foght declared, "al though his name was not on it." Clark is the brother of Trustee John Clark .who has figured-in recent news at the University at Chapel Hill. The furor centers around Foght's jslamor for profits - from the. campus canteen to go to "cul tural, and recreational activities." The editor charges that only 15 per cent are going for these ac tivities, while the remainder is being used for "other things, pre sumably athletics." . , The Charlotte alumni group, ac cording to Foght, is most concern ed with his editorial asking for the resignation of Dr. H. A. Fish er; chairman of State's , Athletic Council. " ' Because of Dr Fisher's "dicta torial policies, his action in re gard to the firing of Beattie Feath ers C football coach), and his atti- tude which is incompatible to his States Fini One of the greatest documenta- ! tinr art1 minrnf ilm niihlir'at.mr projects dealling with the Mstori,' cal resources of the 48 states ever undertaken . has just been com pleted, as a .joint undertaking "by the Library of Congress and the University- of North Carolina, it was announced here" today ' by -Chancellor Robert B. House. Launched in 1941 but suspend ed for most of the war years, the project has succeeded in locating, microfilming, and organizing ; the earlier legislative, judicial, and executive records of the 48 states and their various territorial and coloniar predecessorSi ; : ; A complete list of the histori cal state records that have been microfilmed during the past dec ade under the project are em bodied in two volumes. The first. "A guide to the Microfilm Col lection of Early State Records," in 800 pages, was brought out in 1950. The second volume, a 161- page supplement to the first vol umes, has just been - published. The work of selecting materials for filming and compiling and editing the microfilms was done under the direction of Prof. Wil liam Sumner Jenkins of the Poll tical science department. The 800 pafge "Guide" lists 1,700 reels of film on which : official state rec ords were reproduced, and the 161-page "Supplement" lists 170 microfilmed t Hnaterials, . - Hi storical Record shed yum n'fl that he risign or answer the pa per's charges. Foght said Dr. Fish er did not reply.. Commenting on the alumni let ter, Foght said, "As a" result of the letter, I have been personally a intimidated by a faculty member in regard to a textile job after graduation." "" V Foght was asked by "another party" to change his editorial posi-; tion. Jhe said. He refused. - "Interested parties picked on - - T7I 1 ' if. V I - uiis issue vrnsiier resignations to stifle the canteen issue," Foght asserted. Foght said a mass student meet ing will be held in the Coliseum Tuesday night to help determine student policy on whether all profits of the supply store should, go . to recreational activities or not. If the students favor having all the profits for their activities, a group will go before the. Board of Trustees asking, this, the editor declared. . . , V - Asked if he was' worried about being kicked out of school, Foght replied, "I'm not worried of. any follow up. The alumni" failed to point out "any . error.' Some have called me, a. .radical, but I'll prob-. ably vote Republican next year.' Byj Thus these important documeh-. tary materials are - made known ." to scholars, of f icials and . others, . and the microfilm .itself insures' the preservation of -the - inf orma-'( tiop in the records no matter what may happen to the originals. The project involved more than 60,000 miles of . travel, and 1700 reels of r microfilm, of approxi- J mately 100 feet each in length. The, film reproduces some 2,500,- 000 pages, the equivalent of a ser ies of more than 8,300 books of; 300 pages each. The film, if un rolled, -. would - stretch - over 30 miles; yet it can be stored in less than26 cubic feet of "space.. Chancellor House, in comment ing on the project, said: "No sim ilar enterprise of photographic re production has equalled this, one in .scale and scope. The University, is proud to have had a part in it. In; extent of holdings, in, this field, so effeceiyely; strengthened by this acquisition, the University now stands next to that of the Library of Congress." ; ; ; - - Back to his, teaching duties at the University, Dr. Jenkins is now drafting his final, report on the project. .He is also directing re search projects in the public doc uments collectibn I of the Univer sity Library.'He hopes that some day there will be established at; the University a Records Research Laboratory which will carry out I similar large i scale rnierof ihri projects like5 the -one just bosv pleted.
