Offices Second Floor Graham Memorial iaro it it it University: 'Cockpit Sharp Seems Expressive, Forceful By GARY BLAN CHARD "Sharp" is more than the last name of the new UNC chancel lor. It also describes how he appeared in an interview here. Dr. Paul Sharp, 46, is of average height, wears glasses, smokes a pipe, and has greying hair. But far from seeming bookish, he was smiling, expres sive and forceful, and demon strated that he has definite ideas on what universities are and should be. Why did he give up the presi dency of Hiram College, a small liberal arts college in Ohio, to come to UNC? "When you talk about a liberal arts college, you're talking about a relatively single purpose insti tution. "But the dimensions of the Uni versity go far beyond the single purpose of a liberal arts college. "This is why I think I'm so excited about the prospect of the University, because to get back into this environment is to meet the real issues of life and come to grips with them where they're going to be most consequentially debated and dealt with. "These issues concern not only our society, but our economy and international matters. They all come to a particular focus on the campus. "The University reaches far beyond the kind of institution I've been in most recently. Now all these institutions have their purposes, and many of them serve them very well. "But to ray mind, the Univer sity over the next 25 years is going to be the very cockpit of research and change, and that's where I want to be." Any particular change in mind? Not at this time. The immedi ate problem is taking over the responsibility of this dimension, learning what this University is all about. "It takes some time, and it takes advice, counsel and prayer ful help." Plan to continue teaching American history also? (Continued on Page 7) Aycock By J. A. C. DUNN Paul F. Sharp came to Chapel Hill for the fourth time Monday.

While four photographers mani pulated him,' puppet-like, from pose to pose he smiled and chat ted and answered questions be tween instructions ("You and Chancellor Aycock shake hands please, Dr. Sharp").

He has a reputation as a good bas ketball player. One of the news men asked Dr. Sharp if that had anything to do with his accept ance of the chancellorship.

S. Coltrane, told a Boys State audience here Monday that "North Carolina cannot hide, run away, ignore or wish away the race problem, which will be with us regardless of who is Gov ernor, Mayor or President." Coltrane told the young men, "You are tomorrows's leaders. I am greatly pleased to speak with you on this occasion." He hit hard on the theme that economic, social and religious progress in North Carolina can not be achieved without racial cooperation, understanding and Christian principles. "North Caroinla has now the opportunity to show the South and the nation both its capacity for orderly change and the extent of its faith in its future, to demonstrate our desire for pro gress rather than peril." He said the words of love, goodwill, neighborliness, brother hood and faith have a common ring that surmounts time and place. The Good Neighbor Council, Coltrane explained, . has two ob jectives: . To obtain and encourage the employment of qualified people regardless of race; and the Published Thursday Afternoons it ic it 9 Preyer Students To Hold Second Meeting Today "UNC Students for Preyer" will hold its second meeting this afternoon at 5:30 on second floor Graham Memorial.

Coltrane cited racial strife and demonstrations in sever al cities including Williamston and St. Augustine as evidence of the Negroes' widespread discon tent with inequalities and dis crimination. "We have tried to meet this problem, by the voluntary and low-pressure program we have in the Council to rely on the good conscience of North Caro lina," he said. "There are 26 men and women on the Council, 14 white and 12 Negro members. The press and church leaders have given us a warm wel come." Coltrane said the race prob lem has been worked out large ly by Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Durham and Fay etteville businessmen, who have taken the initiative to urge voluntary desegregation and equal employment practices. He identified "reluctance to ac cept the Negro in employment" as the main reason for the lack of progress. "The three reasons for the Negro's unemployment problem are racial discrimination, inadequate education and struc tural changes in our economy," Coltrane said. He added that (Continued on Page 7)
