Hospitality Out Of A Mason Jar
Beard-King,
3 of Start In End
By Rolfe Neill
(Second in a series of 2 articles
Bushy Cook, king of the beard
ed men, stared at the smudget
yellow pattern in the linoleurr
and took a long suck on a king
sized cigaret ('they keep me fron
catching on fire.").
Now in his sixth growth o
the magnificant hair, George
Braxton Cook was trying to re
call when he first allowed it;-,
course. "It was in 1936," he final
ly said. "It was when Robsevel
came in 1932 wasn't it? I hop
Ike makes as good a president
as Roosevelt did."
Satisfied that he now had the
date right, Bushy left the living
room and when he returned he
handed a glass to each of us
Then he poured us his farmer's
hospitality from a Mason jar
plopped himself into a big cherry
wood chair, and began to teU
more about himself.
Bushy popped into one year anc
out of another.
There was the time he saw his
first train when the family mov
ed from Bluff Mountain, N. C. tc
South Carolina back when the
20th century was just getting a
toehold on the calendar.
There was work in a war plant
in Connecticut in the 1940's and
then the decision to "call a spe
cial family meeting and see whe
ther they wanted me to eat up
my $3,300 Td saved or buy a
farm." Ke bought the farm a
69 acre job in Orange County
which is home to his wife and 11
children.
Cook left the room again. This
time he came back with a hand
full of pictures which he proud
ly spread out on the double bed
in the corner. The pictures told
the story of Bushy Cook, keeper
"Tif Carolina's Tamr mascot..
According to Bushy, who let his
beard grow "for the hell of it," it
all started when he went to a
football game in 1946. A photog
rapher spotted him in the end
zone ("best ticket I could get")
and took a couple of novelty shots.
"Next day my picture was in the
paper. Soon they asked me to take
care of Rameses at the games."
Since that time Bushy has mis
sed few home games. He also took
in New York when Carolina play
ed Notre Dame there in 1949
when he and Rameses VII stop
ped traffic in Times Square at
UNCs pre-game pep rally. He
went onto the Cotton Bowl at
Dallas the following January to
strut under the eyes of Texas.
Bushy has the skull of Rameses
VII who died last summer on the
farm of George Hogan where he
was kept. A faded Carolina blue
may still be seen on the horns
and Bushy plans to have the head
mounted.
He couldn't get to the first
. University .games this year be
cause his wife was in the hos
pital. It was last weekend's game
with Miami that Bushy really
hated to miss, however.
"I sure wish I could have seen
the boys do all that fine playing,"
he said as he passed the Mason
jar toward an empty glass.

avs paper
Chairman Walt Dear explain
ed; "The-Daily Tar. ,Heel has
been printed as a seven column
newspaper strictly on an experi
mental basis since September.
The board was informed that
advertising revenues this year
would be high enough to pay
for the increased cost of print
ing the big sized newspaper.
This hasn't worked out. The
board voted to cut two issues
as an emergency measure to
insure publication of the seven
column paper at least to the
end of this quarter.
We're trying to do every
thing possible to insure students
of a financial stable paper," he
added.
Asked if the decision to re
turn to a five column paper,
made several days ago, could
be changed, Dear commented,
"I think the board would be
happy to consider other propo
sals if they are financially
sound."
Other members on the board
include Peggie Goode, Joe Nel
son, Tom McDonald, Jack Still
well, Financial Coordinator
Marshall Cline, and Faculty Ad
visers L. M. Pollander and J.
L. Morrison, both from the
School of Journalism.
WASHINGTON

Archibald Cox resigned from the

Truman's approval of a $1.90 daily
wage increase for coal miners and
the whole wage program came
to a standstill. Resignation of oth

board also were expected last
night.
WASHINGTON Adlai Steven
son said yesterday he and Presi
dent Truman are in complete
agreement not to wage war on
Dwight Eisenhower's program
simply for party advantage. And,
he told reporters at a White House
news conference, the Democratic
Party's two major problems are:
(1) to wipe out a deficit of more

BRIEF
I1U
Attacked
Minister
Is In Town
By Ernest Davis
"Charley" Jones came home
ast night and found his congre
jation ready to resist a move to
just him as pastor of the Chapel
.iill Presbyterian Church.
He arrived" nere at 7:30 last
night and will depart early this
morning for Kingsport, Term.,
where he is serving as a consult
ant for the Save the Children
Foundation on a year's leave of
absence from the local church.
While here, the minister met
with various church officers and
members to discuss the problems
raised by a report from the Ju
dicial Commission of the Orange
Presbytery made public last Sun
day which requested the resig
nation of all church elders and
deacons. Thereport charged most
of the officers "didn't adhere
closely enough to the church's
Confession of Faith and Book of
Church Order."
The Commission had earlier
asked the pastor for his resig-
! nation, and said in its report that
"through his philosophy doctrines
become what man thinks they
ought to be,-instead of what they
are." ;
Eighteen new members ' will
join the church at services Sun
day, the Rev. Jones was told last
night. This is only two less than
the 20 members who several
months ago petitioned the Pres
bytery for a new church, claim-
being "unmet," and touched off
being unmet," and touched off
the investigation of the church.
The officers expressed . their
confidence in the Kev. Jones at a
meeting Wednesday night. At the
same time they refused to con
ceed to the Commission's request
that they resign. They said they
would-carry-through with theiH
plans to elect new officers in ac-!
cordance with the system author
ized by the Presbytery in its Book
of Church Order at the regular
time in March.
Concerning their pastor, the of
ficers issued a statement saying
they were "unanimous in express
ing their confidence" in him, but
that "any action regarding Mr.
Jones was the responsibility of
the congregation."
Various members of the con
gregation had this to say of the
Rev. Jones earlier in the week:
He is a preacher without peer
in American Protestantism today.
. .He has not been stayed in his
effort to present a picture of prac
tical religion at work by criticism
or threats" and "he has been a
fearless champion of the ideal of
the brotherhood of man."
The Commission, itself, in its
report mentioned the esteem
which the congregation holds to
ward their pastor. It is "posses
sed of a strong social concern"
and "united above all other ties,
by a . common affection and re
gard for its pastor" the report
said.
Meanwhile, student support for
the Rev. Jones continued to grow.
A spokesman for student mem
bers of the congregation urged
other students to write Howard
Newman, the Stated Clerk of the
Orange Presbytery, about their
convictions in regard to Mr. Jones.
Newman's address is 416 Eas
Main Street, Sanford, N. C.
Presbyterian students living in
the vicinity of Orange Presbytery
who have attended the church
here were asked to write to
parents, who can, in turn, talk
to the ministers about Mr. Jones.

'The Big Fight'
By Louis Kraar
The fight against Saturday
classes, sparked by student
government, moved into its
second round yesterday.
Results of interviews with
Trustees showed that most of
those visited are against a six
day week. Many Trustees who
supported the Saturday class
move indicated that they would
The Visiting Commiite of the
Board of Trustees will meet
in Morehead Planalarium to
day with University adminis
tration officials.
The subject of Saturday
classes is included on the agen
da. do nothing to conflict with stu
dent opinion, according to reports.
President Ham Horton, in eval
uating Trustee reaction, said, "Al
though these results sound prom
ising, there is still much to be
done." He asked the 17 students
who haven't reported on their
talks with Trustees to notify him.
Two Trustees, A. Hugh Harris,
Assistant Commissioner of Agri
culture, and " John W. Umstead,
legislator, have openly sided with
student opinion. Other prominent
members of the board have indi
cated that they also oppose Sat
urday classes.
Future plans in the campaign,
as outlined by Horton yesterday,
call for continued appeal to Trus
tees. The 98-member board meets
Feb. 28 to consider the issue.
A faculty poll, conducted by
Anne Mackie, indicated that they
are with students in opposing
Saturday classes. Two hundred
and seventy-one of the 373 polled
were against them and only 83
supported them.
Those 88 who supported Satur
day classes were split in opinions
favoring or disfavoring the se
mester system. Twenty of those
who participated in the poll said
they didn't care or were unde
cided on the question.
Students who visited Trustees
over Thanksgiving were equipped
with printed briefs stating the
case against Saturday classes.
