Not the Old Well, not Old
East, but a book was the first
acquirement of the University.
The first book for UNC was
given 10 years before students
ever came to Chapel Hill, and
four years before the General
Assembly established the first
state university.
Dr. Louis Round Wilson has
written a chapter entitled "The
First Book, 1785" in a pamphlet
he has prepared for University
Day here October 12.
Dr. Wilson not only tells of
the first book but poses a mys
tery about it: How it was lost;
and how now that a copy of it
has been restored to the shelves
of the Library here.
The book was a copy of the
second edition of "The Works
of the Right Reverend Father
in God Thomas Wilson, D.D."
The author was Rev. C. Crutt
well and published at Bath,
England in 1782. Thomas Wil

Mythology Wilh Trimmings
So what will be heard and
seen at Morehead this month
j might be called mythology with
j trimmings. As the age-old tales
are spun and the star groups
pointed out, in the sky ghostly
figures will be superimposed
upon the constellations. Cygnus,
the swan, may be seen flying
down the Milky Way; Orion,
the mighty hunter, will be
swinging his club at Taurus,
the bull. The tale of mythology's
Royal Family Cepheus, An
dromeda, Cassiopeia, Perseus
and others will be heard and
seen too. Various famous zodia
cal objects will appear Aries,
the Ram; Gemini, the Twins;
Leo, the Lion; Cancer, the Crab.
And to the pictures of the old
days something new has been
added many of these people
and creatures today appear in
full color!
But this is not all. Let An
thony Jenzano, director of the
planetarium, tell about it:

wonderful imaginations to con

Copies of the book were dis

UNC received a copy even

The book was in the Library

"stout folio" , until the year
1869-70. But it hasn't been seen
since. Dr. Wilson writes that
"In that respect it shares the

UN Subject
At tonight's third meeting of
the Di-Phi Society a resolution
advocating three co-equal secretary-generals
for the ' United
Nations will be presented. The
meeting will be held in Di-Hall
on the third floor of New East
at 8 o'clock tonight. The public
invited to attend.
The resolution reads as fol
lows: "Be it resolved by the
Dialectic and Philanthropic So
ciety that:
The present position of the
United Nations' secretary
general be abolished in favor
of having ihree secretary
generals (one from the neu
tral bloc, one from the Com
munist bloc, and one from the
Western bloc). " "
The ihree secretary-generals
shall abide by a ma
jority rule in all mailers."
This resolution is being con
sidered for the following rea
sons: Secretary-General Dag Ham
marskjold's position has been
seriously compromised as a re
sult of the recent Soviet attacks
on his judgment and actions.
In the event of Hammarsk
jold's resignation, it would be
extremely diflicult to hnd a
qualified successor who would
suit both the Soviet and the
Western blocs.
Certain nations (Communist,
Western and neutral) fear that
a secretary-general from some
other bloc other than their own
might conduct policies detri
mental to their interests."

Acebes attributes his suc

guides and porters, goes it alone.
He has found that many primi

expeditions, but will permit a
single white man to enter their
territory.
An accomplished linguist, the
Colombian explorer tries to pick
up the basic vocabulary of the
tribes he contacts. This practice
plus a mastery of sign language,

Chancellor Emeritus Robert B. House will deliver the

Not Last But
First Lecture
By Chancellor
Chancellor Emeritus Robert B.
House will not deliver his last
lecture tonight because it is his
first lecture.
"I've never given a lecture;
I just talk to people like I've
been doing for 40 years," House
said Monday morning. "This will
be my first lecture."
However, his talk tonight at
8 in. Memorial Hall is part of
the Last Lecture series. Bill
Wichard, director of the series,
asked House to make the talk
last spring.
But House has prepared for
his talk longer than four months.
"I've been working on it for
40 years the 40 years I've been
in public work.
"I've been here (UNC) for
33, no 34 years. I worked in
Raleigh for the Department of
History and Archives for six
years before coming to Chapel
Hill," he said.
"Words and Music" is the title
of the talk, but House said he
won't reveal his message before
tonight.
"If , you want to know what
it's about, you'll have to come
hear it," he smiled as he leaned
back in his chair.
''It is my first stump talk on
culture," he mentioned. "I've
never talked directly about cul
ture before this."
Well, how was "Words and
Music" selected for the title of
the talk?
"You know, they always say
'words and music by . . .' This
time the words and music are
by R. B. House."
R. B. House is a new expres
sion. The speaker is known
around campus (and the state)
as Chancellor House, Robert
House or, in print, Chancellor
Emeritus House.
"I never use chancellor just
R. B. House," he said directly.

Concert Series Group
Entertains Entertainers
Ever wonder who entertains
entertainers on campus?
If they are entertainers con
nected with the Graham Me
morial Concert Series, they are
feted by GMAB Concert Series
committee, chaired by Joe Bell.
But socializing with enter
tainers is just one of the com
mittee's jobs. Committee mem
bers are "responsible for seeing
that things go smoothly at the
concerts, both backstage and in
the audience.
They hand out programs,
check ID cards at the door,
usher and make other arrange
ments. The series will present such
artists this year as Marcel Mar
ceau and The Weavers. During
Orientation it brought George
FT3
n
titles of some of 1959-60's lec-
tures: "Reflections on Uncer
tainly" and "Behind the World s
Curve."
Bill Whichard, director of the
Last Lecture Series, does not
know the nature of House's
talk. However, the general
theme of the Last Lectures is
supposed to be the thoughts the
professor would most like to
leave to American youth if he
knew this would be his last lec
ture. A biographical sketch of
House suggests his lecture will
be in keeping with the nature
of the series. He is described
as a classical scholar and phil
osopher of rare cultural insight.
His main interest lies where
history crosses the paths of phil
osophy and literature.
He was Carolina's chancel
lor in the period 1945-57. Now
retired, as an administrator,
House teaches two sophomore
courses each semester.

sity only by paying a $5 late

"Students should pay strict
attention to the parking reg

established," Randall said.
