MONDAY ISSUE Next Issue Thursday Vol. 35, No. 69 CHAPEL HILL CHAFF j. j. Andy Gutierrez had a mildly irked feeling as he sat in the back row and watched “The Bonnie Parker Story” at the Varsity Thea ter, of which he is manager. “I know that fellow,” he kept saying to himself. By “that fellow,” he meant the actor: playing the consort and tra-; veling companion of the no torious cop-killing Bonnie. After the show Andy walked down the street toj ask J. I). Wright what stage name Roland Benson of Cha pel Hill took when he went in pictures. “Jack Hogan,” said J. I). “Well, he’s got a leading role in my current show and; 1 didn’t even know it till now,” Andy said. “1 wish 1 had realized it sooner so 1 could have lot everybody| know in advance. Roland has a lot of friends around here who would have wanted to ■ see him in his first starring role.” Nobody else in Chapel Hill knew it till too late. Not even Roland’s mother, Mrs. | Huldah Benson of 125 North Street, or his sister, Mrs. David Howard of I)ania, Florida, who was here sot the summer. When asked about it later, Mrs. Benson said, “I’m really disappoint-; ed. I’m ashamed t . write Roland and say his movie; was here and I didn't even know it. I hope it comes to Durham. If it does I’ll go over there to see it.” The Weekly’s Calendar of Events lists the names of the leading actors in the shows at the two ChajMil Hill movie theatres.

Election Seems Likely The Orange County Board of Commissioners will probably, vote to hold an A B C. election in the county at its meeting to morrow 'Tuesday l in Hillsboro. “I’m inclined to think that in view of the petitions that have been submitted the people of the county want an election." said R. .J M Hobbs, chairman of the Board. When the motion to have an A B C. election in Orange County was brought before the Board on August 4 by Commissioner Donald Stanford, it was defeated three to two. Mr. Hobbs and Henry Walker in voting against the measure said that they were not opposed to such an election but wanted to know that public sentiment favored the action before the expense of such an election was undertaken. At once petitions asking for an election were circulated and signed. Many have been forwarded to Mr Hobbs who in turn sent them to Hillsboro. "1 have no Idea how many have signed such petitions but there definitely seems to be sentiment in favor of an election on the matter," said Mr. Hobbs. Mr. Walker, who had been to Pennsylvania for the past week, said this morning that he was "definitely not opposed to an election if the people want it.” On the other hand, he has not had a chance to see the petitions and has not spoken to the electorate on the matter and so had no comment to make on how he will vote tomorrow. In the meantime people who have signed petitions in their possession are asked to get them to Mr. Hobbs by the time the Hoard meets at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning.

The occasion was a banquet' An Appeal to Parents lAn Editorial) A good school attendance record for the Chapel Hill schools is of the greatest importance A school's average daily attendance record has a direct hearing on the number of teachers the Slate allots it lor the following year . Here is an illustration of tiow this system works: The State allot* one teacher lor every 30 pupils. There are 180 days in a school year Let s assume that when you add the number of pupils present for each of the 180 days you get a total of 54,000 Divide that by 180 to get tile average daily attendance. Result, 300 Divide by 30 to get the numiier of teuchers the State will allot that school. But suppose the total pupils amount to 53,997 When you get through dividing by 180 and then by 30 you get 29 9 And the State would give you only 29 teachers. Most North Carolina school# get caught in this predicament. If only three of the year's absentees had been present the school would have been given 30 teachers instead of 29 This can make a big difference. Schools also have a chance to gain an additional teacher or two right at the beginning of the school year under another system based on the average daily attendance for the first ten days of school That * another reason why it's so important that parents have their children in school from the opening day Absences fall into two categories, excused and unexcused. The State doesn’t hold excused ahsenses against the school's average daily attendance record. These include absences for contagious diseases, a death in the family, half-day ahsenses for a doctor's appointment, and other acceptable reasons It’s the unexcused ab sences that retard education in Chapel Hill and other North Caro lina towns. Unexcused ahsenses are often caused by parents who bring their children home from vacation after school has begun or take them eway on vacation before it has closed. With their opening date at hand, the Chapel Hill schools have a chance to pick up a few additional teachers if parent* will do what's right by their children. Heaven knows, these teachers are badly needed. Parent* who will have their children away on vacation this month are begged to remember that the Chapel Hill schools open next Monday, September 9, and to bear in mind that every unexcused absence deals a bard blow to education in the community. given at the University's Lenior Hall by the Chapel Hill Athletic Club in honor of Coach Jim Tatum, his staff and Ins 1958 football teams.

That is a question that is being asked, and answered, on the Streers of Chapel Hill. Speculation seems to narrow the choice to two men. Floyd Hunter and Miles Fitch. -Many people say they would like to see Mr. Hunter named. He is a faculty member of the University’s De partment of Political Science and the author of two books on city government and the power structure of a community. Many others say, “Let's have a good business man ike Miles Fitch who knows how to deal with our prob lems. Mr. Fitch is co-owner of the Fitch Lumber Com pany. The appointment, to be made by the Aldermen and the Mayor, will fill a seat on the board till next May’s municipal election. Others whose terms will expire then are Mayor Oliver Cornwell and Alderman Obie Davis. I ni\ ort ied rumors have it that neither will seek reelec tion. W lam questioned by this newspaper, members of the Board of Aldermen were cautious in their com ment > on the appointment they mav make at next Monday’s board meeting. ”1 like both men and hope that, sooner or later, both will serve on the board,” one said. 1 his member added that other names may be presented and considered.
