THE DAILY TAR HEEL
Now The Town's alf-way;
Greeks Have Got 60 Days
The Town Hoard of Aldermen
showed good sense when it agreed
to suspend the S. Columbia St.
parking restriction for Cm days.
Now, it remains for the fra
ternity houses along that street
to find a means for easing their
own t parking problems.
It won't be an easy job.' But it
ran be done if the fraternities will ,
agree to give up just a littJe hit
ol figurative and literal ground.
The Board of Aldermen's stipu
lation is this: If the fraternities will
do something to alleviate the park- .
ing problem around Big Fraterni
ty Court, the town will relax the
two-hour rest rict ion.
So. things don't look as black
for the fraternity men as they did
a few weeks ago. If they find a
pi. ".re and a nay to alleviate the
problem, they'll get more park-
ing space on the, street.
Past experience would lead one
to expect bullheadedness from the
fraternity men on the handling of
this situation. Ed Hudgins. head
of the Interfraternity Council, re
cently said fraternity men who
own cars have been leaving them
on S. Columbia St. despite the
law. They have been sending
pledges out to shift cars around,
he said, and they have been eras
ing tell-tale blue chalk marks
placed on automobile ties by o
licemen. This is bullheadedness, we
believe. It is not an excellent way.
to solve parking problems.
Leaders in Big Fraternity Court
houses who really want to retain
their right to park on S. Columbia
St. should get to work immediately.
They cannot very well afford to
keep on demanding that the Board
of Aldermen lift its restriction
without demonstrating thev are
willing to make some sacrifices.
It is not time for bullheadedness.
Gracious
Living:
Number 3
(iraham Memorial's coffee ma
chine didn't know it. but it was
contributing to Gracious Living
in Chapel Hill.
The machine, foul deamon that
it is, regularly dispenses bad tof
fee from a metal mixing bowl deep
in its bowels. It drips forth powder
ed "coffee," flavored with powder
ed sugar and powdered "dairy
product."
The mrjvhine usually drips forth
for a dime a cup.
'But yesterday, the machine turn
ed chit ken. Or it felt that Living
in Chapel Hill was becoming un
gracious.
Anyway, it started selling cof
fee for a nicker a cup.
How gracious!
Baccy's Crown Is Slipping
Tar Heel farmers, the small
farm type, should pay close atten
tion to their governor.
Gov. Luther Hodges said this
week that the state needs "locally
financed, locally operated indus
tries which will utilize the many
larm people who must supplement
their income or go under."
He was seeing .into th" future
we fear, into the. not-too-distant
future c hi state, and he was
trviir.'
befVv c it's too late.
North Carolina should get to
work. Already tobacco is losing its
crown.
You Know,

Sundials

do something about it
North Carolina's small farmers
are doomed. They arc finding
themselves decreasing in number,
and they are finding that they must
lean more and more on the federal
government for enough money to
live.
State or federal aid is not the
answer to the small farmer's
plight. He can lean just so far,
and then he will fall over. The
only answer for this state is in
dustry, "lex-ally financed, locally
operated" as the governor sug
gests. The Daily Tar Heel

The Morehead Sundial, object
d'art and of much controversy, is
a pretty thing after all.
We, too, wondered if Morehead's
money couldn't better be spent on
such things as dormitories, class
rooms, textbooks for those who
can't stand the Book Ex prices.
But, uxm reflection underneath
the huge dial's wing,, we have de
cided a suneiial isn't a bad idea
after all.
For what university can boast of
such an attraction for visiting high
school students? What university
could be boring and dull when it
has monstrous sundial on its
campus?
Seriously, donor Morehead lias
a perfect right to build his sundial,
or anything else he wants to build,
so long as the Board of Trustees
okays it. He has given the Uni
versity and the state thousands of
dollars in Morehead scholarships,
grants which ecpial the Angier liid
dle Duke scholarships that are
ljaneleel emt across the hollow in
Durham.
He has given the University a
thing of beauty, even though it is
monstrous in sie and hardly use
ful. The sundial has become a
meeting place, much like the Old
Well, for alumni, parents and
friends here on weekends. Even
students are starting to stand
around under the shadow.
Now, it would' be extremely nice
if Morehead would be satisfied
with his gifts of luxury to the
campus, and if he wotdd help the
University out in one of its most
serious problems: Housing.-
Chaepl Hill is full te the brim
with inadequate housing for stu
dents, married, and single. The
married students are in much
worse shape than the single ones,
and the single ones are living and
studying in substandard conditions.
So, a suggestion t Carolina's
controversial contributer: Wc all
would be thankful, Mr. Morehead,
if you'd help the University out
wtih a new dormitory. While less
spectacular than a sundial or a
bell tower, it would do a great
deal towards helping your, fellow
North Carolinians get better edu
cations something your scholar
ships have been doing for several
years.,
PRESIDENT HAS BIG JOB
Friday
Ready
For
Funds
Jay Jenkins
In The Charlotte Observer
It is going to be interesting to
watch young Bill Friday, the next
president of the University of
North Carolina, when he tries to
wrangle money out of the. legisla
ture next February.
This is one of the most exact
ing, tiresome, irritating and
most important chores of the
university president.
Memories of Frank Graham's
technique and the methods em
ployed by Gordon Gray come to
mind.
As president during the 1930-
'Cinderella . . .!'
1949 period, Graham had the
toughest assignment. He had to
wheedle for the green stuff when
it was scarce.
In addition, Graham was not
going through a year in par un
less lie became involved in some
controversy or other. And, it
should be added, it was a healthy

, portions of duties which 'he may
delegate.
Figh
thing for North Carolina Grah
am did not avoid fights.
Anyway. Graham would appear
before the legislators and lay out
his money requests. The conserv
atives had a time combatting the
able, smiling little man.
After Graham had spun his
magic, the opposition always
warned the legislators not to be
carried away by his arguments.
Often, it seemed the opposition
felt it had the role of snapping
its fingers to waken solons hyp
notized by Dr. Frank.
The picture of Graham seated
in the gallery, his smiling face
resting upon his arms on the rail,
is sharply etched in memory. He
was a good fighter, an able and
"courageous spokesman for the
University, as he pleaded for
money in his soft voice.
GRAY MORE LOGICAL
Gordon Gray, Giaham's suc
cessor, was from-another cut of
cloth. Unlike Dr. Frank, Gray
never let sentiment enter his
arguments. He built his case with
cold logic, step by step.
One factor which added great
ly to Gray's effectiveness was
his experience in the General
Assembly. He had sat where
many of his 'listeners were sit
ting. He had heard all the argu
ments, and he' knew legislative
reasoning on money matters.
Besides that, Gray always was
perfectly frank in his presenta
tion. He nexer tried to dispute
a fact or dodge a reality. He
served up his arguments, course
by course, and not picnic style.
Friday will hold his own here.
He has the first requirement for
a presidential joust with the leg
islature: a firm grasp and knowl
edge of university affairs.
ALLIED
And in 1957, for the first time,
the University president will have
potent allies to help him plead
his case. They will be members
of the State Board of Higher
Education.
This board receives money re
quests of the University as it
tloes for all other state-suported
institutions of higher learning.
Once the board screens the re
quests and approves them, board
members go to bat for the final
figures.
This will mean Friday's corn
bate team will include Dr. J. Har
ris Purks, b6ard director, and
such veterans of past frays as
D. Hiden Ramsey of Asheville
and L. P. McLendon of Greens
boro. To doubting legislators, the
board will report it lopped about
seven million dollars from orig
inal requests of the institutions.
Then it will unfurl charts and
statistics, including the indisput
able facts of this state's spiral
ing birthrate.
Also, the board will meet the
legislators with the full blessings
of Gov. Hodges, who described
the board's presentation to the
Advisory Budget Commission
with words like "excellent."
Bill Friday, embarking upon
his tough job, undoubtedly will
welcome his allies.

Friday s Selection
THE RALEIGH TIMES
Bill Friday measure up. At 36, he has youth but
feels the steadying influence of maturity . .
CHARLOTTE NEWS -
We firmly believe that the University, under
Mr. Friday, will continue to be an outstanding force
in the development of the state and the region.
Certainly it will.be a place which will offer con
sistent hospitality to' fresh thinking and new thinkers.

FRIDAY
. . . unanimously endorsed
THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
Ordinarily, we think, the needs of universities
are best met by presidents who are primarily edu
cators, rather than administrators. But trse siti!tion
with respect to the University of North Carolina
has changed.
The State Board of Higher Education has taken
over' much of the broad planning and direction that
once was the sole task of the President of the Uni
versity. Itj has altered the nature of that position
and removed, we fel, what would have been the
chief obstacle to the appointment of Friday.
The new president will be left his share of pro
blems, however. At the moment one of the big
gest is the threat of low salaries to the faculties
of his three schools. That is a problem Friday has
recognized and is attacking vigorously.
WINSTON-SALEM JOURNAL
s, ...,.....,, . ......
Mr. Friday' experience has been largely on the
administrative side. This may be his greatest wcak
nes. But he seems to be in close contact with every
phase of University life, and has been strongly en
dorsed by the student government, other administra
tion officials, and the faculty members.
THF DURHAM SUN
Perhaps his outstanding general characteristic,
one alumnus feels, is that "Bill" Friday is a, diplo
mat. He gets along writh people.
THE NEWS AND OBSERVER
He has a clear conception of the true function
of the University and the responsibility of the man
who heads it to see to it that the function is per
formed. DURHAM MORNING HERALD
It is always a satisfaction to see an institution
have within its organization a person qualified for
promotion to its top position. It is evidence of the
high quality of personnel the institution attracts
to its service. For that reason, it is especially grati
fying to see the trustees find within the university
administration the new president of the consoli
dated university. They are getting a person they
know, a man the faculties of the constituent in
stitutions know, a man the alumni know. By select
ing a man from -within the organization they
strengthen public confidence in the university ad
ministration. May we add our endorsement of Mr. Friday's
selection to that of the Bryant Committee and the
executive committee of the university trustees with
the hope that the full board, at an early meeting,
will add its final blessing to the nomination.
DURHAM SUN
In addition to his awareness of the delicate ed
ucational problems facing a great university, Mr.
Friday has that deep understanding. of the people
of North Carolina, without which no great leader
of the university can excise his full potential. ThU
quality of understanding cannot be instilled in a
brief time; any outsider taking over the top job in
the Consolidated set up would have inevitably grop
ed his way. Mr. Friday is well fitted for that end
of the presidency.
In the field of his greatest weakness, academic
degree and seasoning, the president of the Con
solidated University will fortunately have ample op
portunity to balance hi adminitration through wise
selection of provost and chancellors for the individ
ual units at Raleigh, Chapel Hill and Greensboro
the obvious answer is to fill them with men of out
standing academic background.
GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS
All of the people of the State wil join those
connected directly with the University in the hope
that under the Presidency of Mr. Friday the days
of the University's greatest leadership will lie in
the tutiue not in Ihe im-.k
