J. J.
Herbert Hechenbleikner,
University alumnus and di
rector of biology instruction
in the Charlotte public
schools, had lunch with me
at the Carolina Inn when he
was here last week at a
[meeting of scientists. As we 1
■walked from the Inn to his!
I car he pointed to a large
tree at the corner of Pea-j
body Hall and said, ‘‘See that’
;old sweet gum? I counted:
;the seeds on it when I was
! in school. Some kind of bot
jany project I was working!
Ion.”
Anybody who has ever
[raked leaves under a sweet
I gum after it has shed its
seed pods has some idea of
jthe magnitude of the task
performed by Mr. Hecken
bleikner. I asked him how
many seeds he counted on
the tree.
“No telling,” he replied.
"1 counted the number in
one pod and then counted
the pods on the entire tree
and multiplied the two. I
don’t remember the exact
figure but it was ’way up
in the thousands.”
When we reached Mr.
Heckenbleikner’s car he
opened a rear door and took
out a two-foot section of
green bamboo that was four
inches in diameter. “Biggest
I ever saw,” he reported.
“You’d think it grew in the
tropics, but I got it on an
old estate in Statesville. One
piece I cut down was about
sixty feet long. I put it on
my front porch as a decora
tion, but it doesn’t look so
good because th§ porch is
only 54 feet long and the
bamboo sticks out at the
ends.”

By J. A. C. Dunn
The current controversy over
the fate of the University stu
dents who abused the Chapel
Hill police station a week ago
last Monday night was concluded
at five o’clock last Wednesday
afternoon in a special session of
Chapel Hill Recorder’s Court. In
the special session, Luther S.
Garrison, Herbert F. Kincey Jr.,
and John S. Gray, Jr. f repre
sented by local attorney John T.
Manning, pleaded nolo conten
dere to a charge of disorderly
conduct in a public building un
der a General Statute a viola
tion of which is a misdemeanor.
Mr. Manning also asked in the
special session that Louis Wood
bury’s request for a jury trial,
which was made in the regular
session of Recorder’s Court last;
Tuesday, be withdrawn and that!
he be given the same treatment 1
as the other three. His request
was denied, and Mr. Woodbury,
who confessed late last week to
yanking out two telephone wires
in Police Chief Sloan’s office,
will stand a jury trial in Hills
[ boro Superior Court. Judge Wil
iliam Stewart said he could not
| legally allow the request to be
i withdrawn.
All four students have been
[suspended from the University
by the Student Council.
The special session of court
came about as a result of acting
solicitor Harold Edwards’ offer
to Mr. Manning that the state
[and Recorder’s Court Judge Wil
i liam S. Stewart would accept
from the students a plea of nolo
[contendere, or a statement neither
!of innocence nor guilt, to a charge

The special court session was
■ conducted timoothly and with no '
time wasted in the Aldermen's
room in Town Hall. Patrolman
i Graham Creel, who was in charge <
of the police station the night ;
the students "raided,” testified
and described the occurrence. He
, estimated that about IS boys ;
were present in the station when
, the damage was done, and also ;
stated that he recognised Wood
. bury, who attended the special
session.
Police Captain William Blake
testified as to exactly what ar
ticles had been taken from the
police station and which ones
had been returned.
Mr. Manning spoke for the
three defendants and said that:
■ they wanted to make their apolo-j
, gies to patrolman Creel, the Uni
; versity, the Town, and the Court*
: for any disrespect they had
. shown; that they hud no malite
, in their behavior; and that their|
■ action was not a club action by
i the Ugly Club, of which onlyj
, two members were present in the
police station at the time the!
damage was done, but was onlyj
;! spontaneous and “gathered too'
• [much momentum.” The three de-j

i[mercy of the court.

them SIOO and costs.

[
past president of the Chapel
ally in Hillsboro on Wednes-
Jhapel Hill, who was tied up
’vvith business in Washing
ton and could not get to
North Carolina for the meet
ing.
The meeting, billed as a “Meet
the Candidates” session, was
sponsored by the Hillsboro Bus
iness and Professional Women’s
Club.
Congressman Durham is oppos
ed for re-election by Ralph Scott
of Alamance County, a member
of the State Senate and brother
of U. S. Senator and former
Governor Kerr Scott. Ralph Scott
was present at the rally in the
new courthouse.
Mr. Childress told the group
that “there has been some talk”
that Mr. Durham “should be re
tired so the government can hire
him as an atomic expert, and
that the people should send
somebody else to Wasmhington
to represent this district.”
At first glance, Mr. Childress
said, "this giight seem like a
good idea. As a member and
former chairman of the Joint
Congressional -Committee on
Atomic Energy, Mr. Durham is
an expert in that field. But if
citizens recall the great amount
of progress made in this district
since Mr. Durham has been in
Congress, I am sure they wifi
vote to re-elect him."
Mr. Scott told the group that
the district “needs a man who
will be in Congress every day to
see after the problems of the
district.”
Other candidates who spoke
Wednesday evening included:
Ed Lanier of Chapel Hill, run
ning for the Oraage-Alamance
seat in the State Senate, who
predicted the 1957 session of the
General Assembly “will be one
of the most crucial in many
years.”
John Manning‘of Chapel Hill,
for the Senate, who said he, as
a lawyer, was qualified to take
the Senate seat because “when
you pass a law, you should have
•oaMone there who knows what
ft means.” . , * '
Ed Hamlin of Hillsboro, for
State Senate, who argued that
Orange County needs “balanced
representation” in the General
Assembly, referring to the fact
that the House of Representa
tives member from Orange is
from the southern part of the
county (John Umstead of Chapel
Hill).

Cubs, Bees Fight
To 4-4 Deadlock
Baseball games aren't supposed
to end in ties, but after all, you
can’t play all night.
At least, that’s the way the
Carrboro Cubs and the Durham
Bees felt on Wednesday evening.
Their game had lasted three
hours and 15 minutes and had
gone through 13 innings when
the teams came to a mutual
agreement that they just weren’t
getting anywhere. They agreed
to call it quits until next t.me.
With Pitcher Ken Keller go
ing the distance for Carrboro,
the Cubs scored one run in the
fourth inning and three runs in
the fifth. The Bees had started
last with two runs in the first,
one in the third, and they knotted
the score with a run in the
sixth. From there on, through
seven more innings, things stay
ed deadlocked.
The Cube were scheduled to
play their first home game last
night (Thursday) in the Lions
Park against the Burlington-
Graham Bees. Game time was
7:30.
On Saturday night the Cubs
will stage another home game
at 7:30 in the Lions Park against
Shady Oaks.
