Billy Joe-

After reading his own obituary,
Mark Twain once said, "The re
ports of my death are greatly
exaggerated.'' :
This sums up the reaction of
Billy. Joe Abercrombie, Mangum
dormitory sophomore, who Was
erroneously' reported in -Thursday's
paper as having died in an
airplane crash.
: Billy Joe is -very much alive.
He is in Chapel Hill and attends
classes. "... ; '

oniroversies
by Stuart Irwin
The barrage of complaints from
graduate students in the last few
days about the lack of air-conditioning
in the Library stacks
has elicited more explanatory
statements from the library ad
ministration. Eighty-four graduate
students wrote last Thursday for
immediate repairs for the stacks
air conditioner.
Head Librarian Charles Rush
reiterated that the new altera
tions and additions to the library
are still the property and con
tracted responsibility , of the
general contractor, the J.- A.
Jones Company. Rush explained
that the work has not been in
any way completed, nor has it
been approved by the architects,
University, or the State. .
f The library has continued to
opcraic wnue uemg surrounaea
by construction on three sides, he
said. Because of government re
strictions and limitations of mate
rials, the electricians, plumbers,
masons, heating and lighting con
tractors have not completed their
work, which they are equally an
xious to finish, . Rush noted. He
pointed out that . students are
using the library facilities through
the kindness of the general con
tractor.
Testing of the equipment, in
cluding the heating system, has
been necessary to insure efficiency
upon completion. Rush com
mended the students, who have
suffered through the ordeals of
three long years of confusion
while the heavy construction was
going on, for their patience. ;
A system of humidification is
supposed to, protect the books in
the stacks from heat and moisture.
It was not installed for the com
fort of the students. The State
would not allow appropriations
for this.
didn't' seem right. I went over to
Lenoir, Hall and heard some
friends saying, 'Poor Bill ' They
turned around and of course, were
surprised.
. "When I met my dorm adviser,
Bill Heeden, he remarked, 'I
thought I saw you last night ! !
As he recovered from his surprise
he suggested that I check with
South Building.
, "I found, out that the Univer
sity had already made plans to
send a telegram of condolence to
my folks at Mt. Holly. Later in
the day, as I was. walking around
the campus and met people who
knew me, they never said any
thing, but just scratched their
heads, and walked away." r
A member of the Air Force
ROTC, Bill used to work for a
Mt. Holly Funeral home as an
ambulance driver.
An acquaintance of his", also
named Billy Joe, had really been
killed in. an air, crash, a few
year ago. Family and friends
had believed that it was the Caro

Dial System
Here Soon
In a very few years, you may
be able to call .across country to.
any state, simply by dialing, ac
cording to Grey. Culbreth, Chapel
Hill telephone company chief.
This futuristic idea is currently
being made an actuality by' IheJ
Southern Bell Corporation and
the University-owned telephone
service is cooperating. First step
in the forthcoming nationwide
change is an alteration of present
telephone numbers. Thus the
latest change in Chapel Hill-Carr-boro
directories.
Call numbers for the various
states will probably correspond to
their abbreviations, in which case
N.C. would be the call number
for North Carolina listings.
For the present, first digit 2
and letter F have been eliminated
and number 9 substituted. Until
dial cards on all local telephones
are changed, 2 and 9 first digits
will be interchangable.
The plan is already materialize
ing in some parts of the country.

in May as shex was in the laundry
at home. "Why not?" she though,
and then sat down to write Mrs,
Victor Humphreys, her house
mother at Kenan. Mrs. Hum
