The sentiment would certainly not he as strong as
it is if the bank had not performed as efficiently and

Chancellor Aycock said: “Dr.
Berryhill’s work in assembling
and directing an outstanding
teaching and medical research
faculty in Chapel Hill and his
development of the School of
Medicine and the North Carolina
Memorial Hospital into an institu

service will stand as a distinctive
achievement in the history of

Three major changes in the
Town’s zoning regulations sailed
relatively unscathed through a
special public hearing by the "
Board of Aldermen and the Plan

Leading the changes weri a
proposal that height restrictions
on downtown buildings be raised
to 90 feet from the present 45-
foot limit, in order to permit an
additional story on a hotel being
planned on West Franklin Street
The proposal was initiated by
W. J. Damell of Interstate Inves
tors, a firm that purchased the
interests of seven local persons
in the proposed motel, to have
been built on a site between the
Obie Davis and Norwood Broth
ers service stations.
As revealed by Mr. Darnell the
proposed motel emerged as more
hotel-convention center, to be
constructed in such fashion that
additional Stories can be con
structed at a later date., If the
height restriction is eased, 'the
structure will have five stories
at present, witn the fifth contain

Relinquishing reins of admini

age, in order to go into teaching
or undertake other assignments,
is traditional at Chapel Hill in
most of the colleges, schools and

customary also for faculty mem

year to year until the age of 70.
During Dr. Berryhill’s tenure
at Chapel Hill, the Medical School
changed from a t\yo-year insti

Gag Law’s Repeal
+ * .
Urged By Trustees
The University Board of Trustees was urged Monday
to work for repeal of the law barring Communists and
those who have pleaded the Fifth Amendment from
speaking on UNC and State-supported college campuses.
The urging came from the Trustees executive com
mittee at a meeting in Raleigh. The executive com
mittee recommended that the full board “take appro
priate steps to endeavor to eliminate this restriction
upon academic freedom.”
The executive committee said
the new law imposed "unneces
sa r y restrictions considered
inimical to academic freedom
and (is) contrary to the tradi
tions of the Consolidated Univer
sity of North Carolina and other
State educational institutions.”
In the meantime, the Univer
sity is attempting to comply with
the law, which was rushed
through the House and Senate
in the final hours of the 1963
General Assembly.
An effort to repeal the law is
expected to be wide during a
special session of the Legisla
ture next fall. Indications are
that Governor Sanford will call
the Legislature back to Raleigh
in September, primarily to deal
with Senate redistricting. The
session cannot be restricted,
however, except by informal
agreement of the legislators.
The law enforcement policy
adopted by the executive com
mittee Monday contained, these
provisions:
