enator Selling Insurance
Title Misuse
Not Intended
By GARY BLANCHARD
Republican State Senator Char
les Strong, a possible candidate
for his party's gubernatorial or
congressional nomination next
year, is selling student life in
surance through the mail using
his official title of "Senator."
However, Strong last night de
nied that such use of his title
was intended to exploit his of
ficial position.
; "If it appears that this is
being interpreted that way, or
is a wrong use of my designa
tion, I would certainly be the
first one to take whatever steps
are necessary to correct thet situ
ation," he said.
4 Strong, a Greensboro minis
ter who has resigned his pulpit
, effective February 1 in order
to campaign for Congress or the
governorship, said he used his
title to eliminate confusion be
tween him and another Charles
Strong in C-reensboro.
"I've had a continuous prob
lem of mail getting mixed up,"
the Guilford County legislator
said.
He added: "The (insurance)
letter is a personal letter from
. me. It does not carry any letter
head or anything like that. It's
a personal letter from me. I did
not feel that this was in any way
wrong."
Asked about the legality of
such use of an official title, State
Insurance. Commissioner - Edwin
Lanier said he preferred to "with
hold ccsnment until he returns
to his office Monday and has
an opportunity to check the
matter thoroughly.
A local life insurance agent,
however, said the use of an of
ficial title in connection with a
strictly business matter could
cause some people to think the
insurance plan is in some way
officially approved or endorsed
by the State. But, the agent
added, there is no reason to
doubt the worth of the insur
ance or the "mail approach."
The insurance materials ap
parently are being mailed to the
, parents of all students here at
UNC. One set was received by
, a student here who lists his
campus and home address as
identical in the easily-available
Student Directory.
The envelope containing the
material carries a mass-mailing
postmark of "Reading, Pa.,"
heme office of the Valley Forge
Life Insurance Company, which
is identified as offering the plan
and which Strong apparently
represents.
A Tribute To Archibald Henderson
By MICKEY . BLACKWELL
He was that kind of a man.
"Archibald Henderson was one
of the most affable and social
men I have ever known. He was
characterized by a loud and
heavy laugh ... he was quite
polished and a gentleman in
every way."
Former UNC Chancellor Rob
ert B. House is one of many
people who remembers Archi
bald Henderson, who died Friday
after a long illness.
Henderson, 86, was a noted edu
cator, historian, critic, and math
ematician. He was also the of
ficial biographer of George Ber
nard Shaw. He was on the UNC
faculty 49 years prior to his re
tirement in 1948.
"Back in the early days when
mast of the faculty hadn't had
a" chance to do much traveling,
v. e all thought Archie was a won
der because he was so well trav
eled and so versed on what was
oing on," House remembers.
"He had an extremely active
end lively mind," House said.

t ;:araeterized by his loud and

Printed in the upper left-hand
comer of the envelope are the
words, "A Persontal Message
from Senator Charles Strong,
Box 10347, Greensboro, N. C."
The envelope contains two
brochures describing the plan,
complete with application blanks
and a "Senator Charles W.
Strong" return address as be
fore. Accompanying the brochures
is an apparently mass-produced
letter signed by Strong and car
rying a photograph of him.

braced the arts and sciences.
As a scientist, he taught and
wrote in the field of mathematics
for half a century.
"He did not drive a car,"
House said. "He was charact
erized by his constant walking
to and from campus. When he
wasn't able to walk, he used a
taxi cab. He was probably the
oldest and most consistent pa
tron of the Chapel Hill taxis that
we have ever had."
House also remembers Hen
derson as being quite fond of
sports. "He used to go quail
hunting quite often."
House said that Henderson was
quite a family man, too.
"He had his regular office
hours," House said, "then he
would go home, take a nap, and
take some time to play with his
children.
He would also work on his
books at night," House said. "He
wrote all of them in long-hand
and the printers set the type
directly from the long-hand
copy.."
Louis Graves, founder of the
Giapel Hill Weekly, has known
Henderson longer than anyone
else living in Chapel Hill. 7

very quickly," Graves said.

His wit really came through but
he could also make a scholarly
speech."
Another intimate associate of
Henderson's was mathematics
professor John Lasley, who shar
ed an office with Henderson for
some 20 years.
"During that period, I never
saw him come to the office out
of sorts. He was always on the
up and up. .
. "He had the finest vocabularly
of any man I have ever seen,
but he could use little words as
well. One thing I remember was
that he could spell any word you
ask him. I once asked him the
ten most misspelled words, and
he spelled them all correctly."
Lasley said that in the class
room, Henderson was as mag
netic as he was out of class.
"He could really cover the
blackboard," Lasley said. "He
looked like a great big spider,
the way he went from one side
of the board to the other."
Lasley said that Henderson had
one of the most dominant person
alities of anyone he had ever
come in contact with.
"He was a fine Christian
gentleman and meant as much
in my life than any other man.
He was a real inspiration.
"He was that kind of a man."

Two Students
On Probation
A freshman was placed on
two semesters probation for
cheating and four other stu
dents were implicated in the
theft of a telephone in Men's
Council trials Thursday night.
The freshman pleaded guilty
to the cheating charge, telling
the Council he had panicked on
the quiz . and looked on another
boy's paper.
The teacher noticed similari
ties on the papers of the two
boys and confronted them with
this information. The defendant
then admitted his guilt and turned
himself in.
In the telephone theft, one
boy ripped a telephone off a
wall in a girls' dormitory. He
then joined three friends who
were charged by the Attorney
General as accomplices after the
fact of the theft.
The three boys told the Coun
cil they had intended to see that
the telephone was returned. But
when the four boys were con
fronted by a campus policeman,
they did not tell him of the
theft.
The telephone was returned
the next day anonymously.
The boy who originally took
the phone pleaded guilty and
was placed on two semesters
definite probation.
The other three pleaded not
guilty, but were found guilty
because of the incident with the
policeman. They all received of
ficial reprimand.
One of these boys, however,
was already cn a probation sen
tence from the Council for an
earlier offense. Under the rules
of probation, a second convic
tion for any Honor or Campus
Code offense results in automa
tic suspension for one semester.
The boy was thus suspended.

Cunningham Nets
29 Points In Upset
By CURRY KIRKPATRICK
CHARLOTTE All of the Char

lective breath here last night
when Billy Cunningham crunched
to the floor, his knee throbbing
in pain. But the magnificient
one got up off the floor with 16
minutes left and led UNC to a
strong 77-70 victory over a heavily-favored
Indiana team.
Up on a slim five-point lead
(48-43), Carolina came on to put
it away as the fantastic Cunning
ham re-entered ti: game and
scored eight points, in a twelve
straight string for the Tar Heels.
Mike Cooke, a fine ball-handler
last night, added two baskets
in the drive, and UNC pulled
away to a 58-43 margin a mar

The march, sponsored by two
local integration groups, urged
the immediate passage- of the
Civil Rights bill now deadlocked
in the House Rules Committee.
Individual letters supporting
the controversial bill were car
ried in a sidewalk demonstration
from the First Baptist Church
on Roberson St. to the Carrboro
Post Office. Some were mailed
in Carrboro while the rest were
deposited in the Chapel Hill Post
Office on E. Franklin St.
The letters were apparently
addressed to North Carolina Sen

House Rules Committee.
This was the Town's first ra

in Carrboro.

Encounter Will
Discuss Frats
The merits and demerits of
fraternities will come under
close scrutiny Monday night on
WUNC - TV's "Encounter," as
the pros and cons are discussed
by a panel of students and a
faculty member.
Dr. John . Clayton, associate
professor of radio, television and
motion pictures, and moderator
of the weekly panel discussion
show, said Dr. Walter Spear
man, professor in the School of
Journalism, and Tom Davis,
graduate divinity student at
Duke University and former
YMCA chaplain here, have
agreed to appear on the show.
Two students have yet to con
firm whether they will appear.
Both went home for the weekend
and were unavailable for com
ment. Dr. Clayton said the idea for
the discussion of fraternities
came to him from a student,
and said he would be glad to get
other ideas from students.
"Encounter" is designed to
reveal the "Minds, Manners
and Morals" of students, and to
determine why they act as they
do. Previous discussions have
been on folk music and why
students like it, the relations
of students with the lew and the

within eight with only 3:45 left,
but the big push which The Kid
led after his injury was too
much of an impetus for Indiana
to overcome.
The score was 70-56 Carolina,
when Tom VanArsdale hit a jum
per and two free throws and
Steve Redenbaugh converted a
fast break for six straight which
cut the UNC margin to 70-62.
But Carolina's fine rookie, Bob
Bennett, swished two foul shots
and Mike Cooke one around a
lay-up by Dick VanArsdale to
put the lead back to nine with
1:15. And that was it, for In
diana's final drive led by Dick
VanArsdale, was too little and
too late.
Cunningham, beaten and bat

for him, had another of the fabu

Davidson
Rolls To 88-77
Win Over St. Jo
By MAT FRIEDMAN
CHARLOTTE The Davidson
Wildcats did something St. Joseph
could not do, take the good shot,
and rolled to an 88-77 victory
here last night.
The high-flying sharp-shooting
Wildcats hit 60.8 per cent from
the floor against 33.7 per cent for
the Hawks, and that was the
story right there. High scorer
for the winners, who now have
taken three of three, was the
heralded Fred Hetzel, who col
lected 25 points on eight of elev
en field goal tries, most from
close to the basket.
A tight but sloppy game most
of the way, it was finally a tena
cious Davidson defense which
forced the Hawks to take many
bad shots and broke the contest
open with about eight minutes
to play.
Jim Boyle and Steve Courtin,
with 23 and 22 points respective
ly, led the Hawks scoring, but
when they stopped getting the
shots there was no one to take
up the slack. Courtin was the
only Hawk to hit with any consis
tency from the outside and for
much of the game was solely re
sponsible for keeping his team
in the contest.
Don Davidson hit 19 for the
Wildcats, many of them key bas
kets in the second half when he
frequently broke loose under the
basket. Little Barry Teague was
a playmaker-supreme all even
ing, although he tallied only
eight. But it was Dick Snyder
with 11 who drew the plaudits
from Davidson coach Lefty Dris
ell. "Hetzel took a little rest to
night," said Drisell and Snyder
did a very good job on defense.
He was the best defensive play
er of the game.
