He was charged with dispensing poisonous drugs to a fellow student last May. Sargeant said he got the pills in 1959 when he worked in a Plain- field dental laboratory. A corner's jury ruled late Sat urday that cyanide poison caused the deaths of James Michael Bar ham, 20, of Burlington and William Henry Harrison Johnson, 24, of Statesville. Chief Blake said, "Sargeant says he did sot know either of the dead students. He has been very coopera tive in questioning by police." The student was released on $400 bond.

"Studying space in these rooms must be exploited to the fullest, so no special' room assignments will be made to any group," said Harrington. He also reminded students that it is essential that the rooms be kept in good condition so they will be in shape for use the next morning. More rooms will be opened necessary and such suggestions can be made to the Student Affairs Board at the Student Government Office, or to the Campus Affairs Board. f The rooms open for night study are 01 in the Alumni Building,. 207B andr 208 Caldwell, 07 and 208 Gard ner, 105 and 106 Hanes, 105 Pea body, and 220 and 232 Phillips, .109 and 216 Saunders, and the study halls on the ground floors of Gra ham and Stacy Dormitories. Pathologists9 Tests Not Yet Completed University pathologists reported ast night that they could find no race of cyanide in two milkshake cups found in the room of two stu dents who died of cyanide poison ing last Friday. Chapel Hill Police Chief W. D. Blake said the report of the tests run on the cups "leaves us with out any clues right now." However, he said tests under way on food found in the room had not been completed by the patholo gist, but were expected to be finish ed today. A corner's jury ruled Saturday night that roommates Michael Bar- ham and William Johnson Jr. died of cyanide poisoning. Acting Or ange County Corner G. A. Cannady turned the case over to the Chapel Hill police after the jury made its ruling. . Work Since Friday Blake and six or more policemen have been working on the case since Friday and the chief said last night that the investigation is progressing" and he hoped to have a "break" in the case in the next few days. The death room 201 Cobb was cleaned by a janitor early Friday morning, before the deaths were discovered, and Blake said the milkshake cups and the food items were the only clues found in the room after police learned of the deaths. The deadly poison believed to be potassium cyanide was ; found, in "high concentration" in the bodies of both students. Cyanide is a fast acting poison which produces death almost instantly. ' Police said it was likely that fur ther cyanide would be discovered in possession of students. Cyanide is a relatively common chemical in .scientific, laboratories, and .is issued to responsible persons in a number of schools and depart ments of the universit. Movements Traced While investigators worked try ing to determine how the students received the poison, other officers interviewed 30-40 students m an effort to trace the movements of the youths Thursday. Barham's whereabouts for most of Thursday were established Blake said, but Johnson's activities from about 9:30 to 11 p.m. were unknown. The two did not eat supper to gether and Barham was seen in a downtown pool room between 9 and 9:30 p.m. and in his dormitory room shortly after that. Shortly after 11 p.m. Barham was found in the bathroom violently ill and was helped to his room. Johnson Unconcerned Investigators said students told them Johnson did not appear con cerned about Barham's illness. When asked if a physician should be called he said he would call a doctor if Barham did not respond. Janitor Robert Holt discovered their bodies shortly after 11 a.m. Friday. The bodies, on separate beds, were covered with sheets. Both were clad in nightclothes. Chief Blake said that the State Burea uof Investigation had not been called in on the case except to verify the cyanide tests.

By Chuck Mooney Why was Chapel Hill picked as die site of UNC back in 1789? It wasn't by accident, despite the "drink of whiskey under the Davie Poplar" legend. Why were the original buildings Old East, Old West, and South; arranged as they are? One of the founders was a mem ber of the Masonic Order. James Hogg, a canny Scots real tor, realized that the proposed state university would be a great asset to any area. So he persuaded the people who owned land on Chapel Hill Ridge to donate it to the state on the condition that the university ! bo built there, according to Archi bald Henderson in his "Campus of the First State University." There were ten donors, all immi grants and most of them veterans of the Revolutionary War. Their gifts totaled 1,336 acres of land. All were farmers or businessmen. One, i William McCauley, was a state Senator from 1784 to 1788. The Davie Myth Legend has it that a group of 'Trustees headed by William R Matchmaker" here Oct. 11-15.
