HISTORY MAJOR WITH IMAGINATION: Student By BERNIE WEISS For a fellow named Murphy, who possesses the mind of a bus inessman, it doesn't take the luck o' the Irish to develop a huge money-making proposition out of a sport with only seasonal interest such as water-skiing. There's this student named Dan Murphy oh the campus. He's f- 1 mm ft,""" r f! I -n ft i . J INSTRUCTOR DAN ...np in f"'"j;U --?';VB; I' ; I : !

' There is a definite difference between poolplaying and billiard playing, he had added. "Calling it (billiards) pool has done real harm to a good game in the past," he said. . 1 Wallace was questioned about a senior now, but in the four years since he was graduated from high school with an idea he has taken the relatively un explored sports field of water skiing to the public and gained national recognition.

I i Several o t h e i ' phenomenal changes in the geography of North America were indicated by him, also. For instance, Los Angeles is in Missouri; Denver and Boston are in Wisconsin; the Appalach ian Mountains are in the Okla homa Panhandle, and Chtsa peake Bay is in the Gulf of Mex ico, i -;f How did it happen? During the course of a lecture - on geographic distribution this ' week, according to geology in structor Dr. Virgil Mann, he was confronted by a roomfull of puzzled faces and blank stares. They looked completely lost," he -said. "I had the feeling that I was talking to myself." To see if they were really lost, Dr. Mann distributed outline maps of the United. States and called out locations to be writ ten into their corresponding lo cations on the maps. The maps were not to be signed. . .The results on a large percent age of the maps, said Dr. Mann, were similar to those in the ex ample. Dr. Mann said possibly 10 or 11 percent of the class would have scored B or better. Approximately 50 percent of the class interchanged Boston and New York, he said. In searching for a" reason be :U hivTsity t By CHARLIE SLOAN University Atty.' James Williams yesterday clarified ther Board of Trustees' ordinances-1 concerning student parking. The document lists the regu lations established for UNC, State and Women's College. Rules con cerning students at Chapel Hill boils down to the fact that Caro lina ladies, and gentlemen just can't leave their cars on campus. The campus was defined as being bounded by Franklin St., Colum bia St., Raleigh Rd. and Raleigh By afer sity. Murphy got the bug4 "in 1952 from Bruce Parker, 1 who was the first professional skier in this country and a national champion in 1939 and '40. After becoming acquainted with Par ker and the potentialities of the situation, he borrowed enough money to open his own place at ; the Glen Burnie Club "on Lake George in upstate New York. As the lake is 35 miles long, Murphy seized the opportunity to "burn the candle at both ends," and opened another ski club" at the opposite shore the ; following summer, 'BOOMED . Business not only flourished, ' it boomed, and no depression is forecast for the future. Con tracts with Hollywood film stu- dios for movie shorts were signed, and productions were staged fror Paramount, Universal-International and Tele news. ' Murphy took his first year of coUege at N. C. State, which was on the quarter system at the time. He decided to transfer to UNC last winter, arid while waiting for the spring semester, to begin here after finishing his quarter work at State, Murphy took a jaunt to Nassau. There he again ran into Bruce ' Parker, and wound up running a school for him in the Bahamas. It ' was while at Nassau that hind the obvious "deficiency in geographic knowledge,. Dr. Mann said he did not wish to imply the schools are inferior, but r If" DR. VIRGIL MANN EXAMINING STUDENT'S MAP ...then just don't remember where places are Cloii'iiS rusfos' St. I ' Residents of the Upper Quadj may no4 park beside or behind the j quad unless they liold staff park ing permits. Williams said that the t only students allowed to park on campus between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. 1 are those who have some physical handicap. He said after 3 o'clock anybody could leave ( their vehicles parked around the campus, except, of course, in the places marked no parking. In 1946 it was discovered that Murphy began to move into the Big Time Operator class. He signed, working contracts with the Mercury Motor Co., makers of boat motors, and the Barbour Boat Co., of New Bern, makers of boats. The two organizations equip his schools in return for the use of, their products as he instructs. He is also a member of the advisory boards of both companies. During the summer of 1954, he returned to Lake George to continue operations there. This past summer he expanded 100 percent, opening schools at WTesthampton Beach and Say ville. t FACTORY There's more: In the future he plans a factory for the man ufacture of skis and a school for the training of instructors. Working out details for the school occupies most of Murphy's time now. It is to open at Hunt ington, L. I., next summer. Two series of courses, running eight days each, are scheduled. Tui tion is $200: Murphy says there is a tre mendous" lack of qualified ski instructors, and one way to get them is to teach them yourself. Graduation from the school as a qualified teacher would mean from $l,500-$2,500 for the per-, son who plans to teach the rook ies himself. But there's more in the mak Skis nto that most of his students had ap parently not thought about geo graphy since they were in the sixth grade. y. j iiiiiiij 1 uis OTOS the town of Chapel Hill did not have the power to make and en force traffic regulations on the University campus. A safety com mittee was set up, composed of students and townspeople, to exa mine the problem. The Board of Trustees was then given authority to write and submit ordinances to the secretary of state for the University. Assistant to the dean of student affairs Ray Jefferies has an nounced that notices will be sent (See PARKING, page 4.) ing for next summer. Murphy says he may close his club at Sayville and open two in Canada. He also has plans for managing a touring stunt troop for Mer cury. x Still more: A personal friend of Gary Moore (the TV comic), ' Murphy thinks there is a good change of breaking into tele vision with his j)al. Mercury, sponsoring the show. And, Mur phy is about to write a book let on ski instruction. Murphy keeps his eyes open. Save there appears to be some thing to the manufacture of skis, he is hoping to open his own factory soon in Ohio. Skis re tail at about $30-45 per pair, and he says he can make them for the consumer at $29. What about the actual skiing? Well, Murphy guarantees you can ski 12 minutes after he takes over. And if you aren't satisfied or don't think you can make a go of it, he returns the money. Lessons cost four to six bills, he says, depending on the location of the school and the student Age? "Six to 60 is our motto, and that's the truth." And what do you think Mur phy's going to do with his de gree in history after he gradu ates? Water skiing? Nope. This business-minded Irishman is go ing to turn to stocks and bonds, where he may need .some of the luck he has yet to use. "They have no conception whatever of the geographic dis tribution within the United States," he said. CHANCELU GIVES THANKS FOR FUNDS "1954-55, A Year of Progress" titles September's issue of the University Report, now in circula tion. Published bi-monthly by the University, the report includes an alphabetical roster of donors ma?; ing specific contributions to the University and a list of those mak ing contributions to the Universi ty's unrestricted fund. This issue features a detailed report of the highlights of Chapel Hill's development program for 1954-55 with comments by -Chancellor House. r -" "For a university chancellor there are many pleasant occasions during the academic year," he says. Perhaps the most agreeable and personally satisfying, "however,, is the opportunity afforded htm to express his appreciation for the loyalty and generosity of the hund reds of alumni and - friends, who shared in the University's develop ment during the year. "I look with particular pride on the record that has been compiled in, 1954-55. In many ways the Uni versity has enjoyed its most mean ingful year of support," Chancellor House added. Entitled "Date Line, Chapel Hill," the progress report introduces its account with an expression of ap preciation to the donors "the rare ly mentioned alumni and friends whose contributions make such, progress possible."
