On the first page is this “Word of Welcome” by Librarian Andrew H. Horn: “As a research library in creases in size, its complexity grows apace. Once the organiza tion and specialized services are understood, however, the rich rewards and intellectual stimula tion derived from the intelligent use of a truly great library are among the most exciting ex periences encountered in the pro cess of becoming an educated man or woman. Here in Chapel Hill the Library has always been regarded as the heart of the university. To assure that stu dents and other readers will not be frustrated by the increasing size and complexity of the Library, we have prepared this little guide and introduction to, the Library. A loyal friend, generous benefactor and great alumnus—Mr. John Sprunt Hill, Class of 1889—has enabled us to have this booklet published and placed in your hands. “We welcome you to your Uni versity of North Carolina Li brary, housed in the Louis Hound Wilson Library Building, and urge you also to become aquaint-, ed with the members of the Li brary Staff who are eager to] assist you further.” History of Orange County to Be Told In School Exhibit at JV.

G. | Mrs. Helene Ivey’s news-j writing for the Weekly has; fired her daughter with the ambition to enter the same profession. When seven-: year-old Helene Jr. came in from school last Friday she said she had picked up some news that she thought ought to go in the paper. Her moth |er asked her what it was and she said a man was coming to visit the Graveses; she knew' because on her way home from school she had seen him come into the house with suit-cases. Hel ene’s reporting was correct. She had seen one of our stu dent lodgers arriving and, since we like to encourage her relish for newsgather ing, here her report is for her to read. * * * The 100th anniversary of the death of the distinguish ed scientist, Elisha Mitchell, comes next year and the Un iversity is preparing to cel ebrate it with appropriate ceremonies. He was killed June 17, 1857, by a fall from a cliff when he was explor ing the mountain that was afterward named for him. He was 64 years old and had been a member of the fac ulty here 40 years. His body was found ele en days after his death. He was buried first at Asheville but the next year, with the consent of his family, he was buried on Mount Mit chell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi. His name is perpetuated here by the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society, one of the country’s most celebrated organizations devoted to scientific research. It was Elisha Mitchell who had the rock walls built around the University cam pus—“dry” walls, meaning built without cement. He (Continued on Page 2) Underdog Northern High Topples ’Cats For Their First Loss of Season, 19-13 The Chapel Hill High School football team suffered its first loss of the year Friday night at the Carrboro Lions Park when underdog Northern High School came from behind in the last quarter to defeat the Wildcats, 19-13, in a Class A A District Three game. After being down 0-12 at half ] time, Chapel Hill surged back for 13 points and seemed to have the game won, when Northern began a 60-yard drive in the last quarter which carried it to a well-deserved victory. The win was Northern’s second in three tries, while the Wildcats have won two and lost one. Fumbles set up both of North ern’s first-half scores. After Ruffin Harville’s errant pitch back had been recovered by Northern on the Chapel Hill 25, Don Fish passed to Joe Carden for the first down on the Wild cats’ four. Fish went over on a quarterback sneak. Again, in the second quarter, Northern pounced on another j Chapel Hill bobble, this time on the 35-yard line. Linwood Veasey and A. C. Kanas alternated in carrying the ball over for a 12-0 Northern half-time lead. j Chapel Hil rushed out after the half to go ahead, 13-12. Starting from its 35-yard line, where it had received a North ern punt, Chapel Hill went 65 yards for its first touchdown with Bob Costello, Ruffin Har ville and Tommy Goodrich alter nating to the one, from where Costello crashed over for the score. Early in the last quarter, the Wildcats blocked a Northern Board of Trustees at a meeting I here Saturday. The Board, gathering in the | Faculty Lounge of the Morehead Building to approve the issuance; of four million dollars worth of: bonds for self-liquidating dormi-j tories in Chapel Hill and at State College, heard the Gover- i inor say: | “I have been in touch with ( | the committee to pick a presi-1 j dent for the University. The committee has been working very hard, and I expect that within j the near future we may call another meeting of the board to | take action.” “Within the near future” un doubtedly meant before next I February, at least, because the next regular meeting of the board is scheduled for the fourth Monduy in February. And the : Governor referred to a called ' meeting to hear reports of the committee, headed by Victor Bryant of Durham. Governor Hodges gave no hint as to whom the committee might nominate. There has been wide spread speculation that William C. Friday, who has been acting president for nearly a year, might get the nod. But it is no secret that the committee has been searching the country for an educator to take the post, and Mr. Friday is not considered an educator. The purpose of the called meet ing of the board Saturday was to ratify resolutions authorizing the University to issue bonds to build two million dollars worth of self-liquidating dormitories for the Chapel Hill campus and a similar sum for student housing at State College in Raleigh. The motion to approve the resolutions was passed unanim ously after University Controll er W. D. Carmichael Jr. gave the trustees a brief synopsis of the contents of the 80 pages which made up the two docu ments. The board approved a third resolution which empowered the Consolidated University to begin negotiations for the sale of one million dollars in bonds to build student housing at the Woman’s College in Greensboro. Actual sale of the bonds will have to be authorized at a later date. The dormitory building pro gram was approved by the 1955 General Assehbly. The delay in getting the program under way was largely created by a deci sion to change plans last year in the type and number of build ings needed. University Business Manager Claude Teague told the Weekly last week that construction at Chapel Hill, which will consist (Continued on PagevlH) punt and smothered the ball on the visitors’ nine. Harville then sprinted around left end for the tieing score, and Goodrich put his team ahead 13-12 with a placement kick. But the Knights weren’t to be beaten and, starting from their 40, they pushed the ball to the Chapel Hill 30 for a fourth down and six. On a handoff, Veasey plowed to a measured first down, and a few plays later Don Fish went over from the one with the winning tally. Fish, Veasey, Kanas, Marshall Clements and Fred Marshall were outstanding for the Durham County team, while Harville, Costello, Haywood Pendergrass and Tommy Hogan played well for the losers. Local TV Will Air ‘Desk for Billie’ “A Desk for Billie," a movie celebrating the centennial of the National Education Society, and co-sponsored by the North Caro lina Education Society, will be presented tomorrow (Wednes day) at 7:30 p.m. by WUNC-TV.
