The students, ranging in age from 13-18 years old, toured the campus, saw a show at the plane tarium, visited Ackland Art Mus eum and the Roberson Street Com munity Center and topped off the Chapel Hill visit with dinner at the Rathskeller. The visit to a large Southern university was a special event for the students because most of them have attended Northern schools since Prince Edward County closed all public schools two years ago. At the time AFSC undertook an '"emergency placement program" for the Negro students. According to Mrs. Helen Baker, an AFSC staff member, 50 Negro students from the county were placed in the "50 most hand-picked families in the U.S." Five Of 43 All of the families were person ally interviewed and selected.

Chancelor William Aycock's Thursday announcement brought official confirmation to the finish of an illustrious chapter in the story of Tar Heel basketball. Assistant coach Dean Smith was named to succeed McGuire who will become vice president and head coach of the professional Phil adelphia Warriors. Coach McGuire came to the Uni versity in 1952 after having won 103 and lost 35 with his alma ma ter, St. John's. He posted notice of things to come by snapping State's 15 game winning string over Caro lina. McGuire, with his friendships and contacts, went on to import many stars from the New York area. In nine seasons, his teams won 103 and lost 35. The highlight came in 1957 when his undefeated "miracle team" took the national championship in a triple overtime win over Wilt Chamberlain's Kans as Jayhawks. "Irregularities" Trouble hounded Frank McGuire after that. Last spring, the Univer sity withdrew from the ACC tourna- Maryland; four graduated from high schools, and three of the students tried to attend schools in f A:--VAN 4 PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY, Va., Negro students shown outside the Planetarium, during their recent UNC visit.

Dean Smith, Frank McGuire's as sistant for the past three years, will take over as head coach Sep tember 9 without a contract. "We may be getting away from a con tract," said Chancellor Aycock. "We want to study it very careful ly." A native of Topeka, Kansas, Smith was a member of the Kans as 1952 national champions.
