Volume 41, Number 76 TOWN | and GOWN aMSStBy PETE IVEY^wfel A bulldog and a bumble bee fought to a draw in lront of the YMCA on the campus last week. A Boston bull who qualifies as a campus dog and hangs around the spa in that section of the University noticed a bee buzz ing around his. head. ■ Annoyed, the dog snapped and seized the bee. It looked like the dog had gobbled the bee up. Dean J. Carlyle Sitterson, who heads the General College and the College of Arts and Sciences, was a witness to the event. The bee was in the dog’s mouth for only a second or two. Then, with a sort of half cough, the dog disgorged the bee oil the ground, 'lhe bee flutter ed frantically. Then the bee Hew away. „A few minutes later, inside the Y building, the bulldog kept licking his tongue in and out, ob viously stung. The battle was a stalemate, and both the bee and the bulldog probably won’t repeat the act. * * # A cabinet maker <at work in the new research wing of the .Medical School cut his linger on Friday, the 13th. It was not a bed cut. But' it bled, and the injury needed some kind of medical coating and a bandage. The man went from office to office, asking if anyone had any kind of first aid equipment. But nobody in the medical research wing was able to oblige. Our informant left before it was determined whether the cabinet maker was finally suc cessful in finding relief in that section of the Medical School, or whether he went to the hos pital clinic or emergency room, or simply ignored the wound until he got home to his tatnily medicine chest. * * * When Mr. and Mrs. William K.

He is the retired publisher of the Winston-Salem Journal and Sentinel. It was in 1048 and Mr. Hoyt had assigned me a cubicle in the newspaper building where I could be alone to write editorials. One day I had finished my edi torials, and was reading up on material for the next day. So, I propped up my feet and browsed through books and magazines and newspapers. When Bill Hoyt observed this, he laughed for about 10 seconds without stopping. He explained that it reminded him of an old poem, written 70 or 80 years ago by Will Carleton.

About 100 of them ga thered at. a $5-per-plate fund raising dinner in the American Legion home to hear House Speaker Herbert Clifton Blue dis pense political savvy and party exhortation. They were not disappointed. The gathering was not quite as soberly momentous as the one last month at which the Coun ty executive committee chose Edwin Hamlin as Orange Coun ty's interim Representative; neither did the gathering have the atmosphere of clannish jol lity which marked the Party’s annual rally earlier this month.

According to June 30 figures of the Bank of Chapel Hill and North Carolina National, the two institutions’ combined deposits will be $545,915,000. Total re sources will be $638,080,000. North Carolina National's capital funds will pass SSO million for the first time, increasing to $50,033,728 with the merger. Under the terms of the mer ger, Mr. Gobbel will be senior vice president and trust officer.

Carl Durham, former Sixth District Congressman (“for so long that the memory of man cannot say to the contrary” L. J. Phipps), spoke briefly when announced. Mr. Durham referred to Chapel Hill as a city, lament ed wistfully that "we're so big now we herdly know each oth er,” and jumped feet first into the Test Ban Treaty: “One of the most important moves this country has undertaken since. Mr. Durham also lamented the fact that so few people in government studied science, but said it was a good thing the gov ernment was spending as much as it is on scientific projects. "With the population increasing like it has and like it will, we have to develop something that will sustain our economic lev el."

Defensively, Carolina [was as sound us a dollar once was. The Tar Heels made only one major mistake in this department, but it almost proved to be fatal. With Carolina leading 3-0, Vir ginia halfback Henry Massie took Mac Chapman’s booming second half kickoff on his own 1 and raced 99 yards, untouch ed by human hands, through the entire Tar Heel team for the Cavaliers' only score of the day. Massie's ramble tied the At lantic Coast Conference record for a kick-off return set by Clem son's Bill iMathis in 1959. The run dtffn near hog tied the Tar Heels for the afternoon. But good defense kept Carolina in contention and Virginia in the hole throughout the second half. Time and time again the Tar Heels got the ball in the midfield area while Virginia was getting it back in the shadow of its goal line. With the clock running out Carolina finally got that first olive out of the bottle.

SCARBOROUGH As a winning coach, Jim Hickey is a droll little man who doesn’t move many degrees up the joy .scale from his manner as a loser. But he was like a man who'd been dumped in an ice bath and then fed a magnum of champagne after his Tar Heel's had finally buried an irksomely uncoopera tive clutch of Cavaliers. In away what had happened to him and his Tar Heels was just as much a jolt as the ice - water - champagne routine. Somewhere in the first quarter, Coach Hickey's prize quarterback, Junior Edge, had taken a blow on tlie head that at least temporarily caused him to lose his memory. No one had realized it until the Tar Heels’ first offensive play following the drive that itad re sulted in a Carolina field goal. Edge had handed the ball off to fullback Hank Barden, who was not expecting it at ail; Barden fumbled. If Junior Edge were disconcert ed by the blow, it followed that Mr. Hickey and the remainder of the team were too. It had been plttnned that the famed Edge to Lacey passing attack would be a prime part of the Carolina offense, while quarterback Gary Black carried the defensive load, backstopped by Sandy Kinney. Black suddenly found himself carrying file Carolina offense and Mr. Hickey found himself bur dened with cares past all reck oning. By the time he met the press corps, however, he had shaken off any telltale evidence of ten- * sion. Normally he enters the All The Excitement Was In The Stands By JAMES SHUMAKER The most exciting thing in Ken an Stadium Saturday afternoon was the new cantilevered second deck. Carolina football fans see ing it for the first time, including those completely sober, seemed amazed that the concrete top deck stood, apparently without means of support. The winding ramps leading up thirty or forty feet to the top tier lent the 36-year-old stadium a contemporary flair, and made an inviting play area for young sters. Once you had seen it, though, the afternoon went down hill. Virginia seemed to be a fitting opponent for the game unveiling . the “new” Kenan. The Cavaliers had been guests when the orig inal Stadium was dedicated in 1927, and the Tar Heels had won that one, 14-13, before an over flow crowd of 28,000. But whoever planned Satur days’ opener must have been having some second thoughts by the time the Cavaliers came dashing onto the field in the wake of a streaming Virginia flag. The crowd wasn’t much bigger than the 1927 turnout and what ever spirit the fans had brought to the game soon wilted under a blazing sun. The Lenoir High School Band, which has played at Carolina-Vir ginia games for 36 years, did its part to keep the afternoon mov ing, but it was bucking heavy odds. The humidity rendered students and Old Grads limp and by the end of a listless first quar ter, Carolina loyalties were wear ing paper thin. The only high spots came when a Chapel Hill dog wandered the width of the field, casually snif fing the line of scrimmage, and* when an appeal came over the public address system: “Sharon Stewart is at the press box. Will her parents please pick her up.” The gathering stirred briefly during the half when three mem bers of the 1903 Carolina team that had beaten Virginia 16-0 were introduced. Then Virginia’s all-time football hero, Bill Dud- press room quietly, scats himself in a posture of profound medita tion and submits to questioning. This time he ran through the routine, but before a question could be framed, Mr. Hickey vol unteered that it had been a long, long day. “The longest day?" queried a sportswriter. “A long day before we got a touchdown," Mr, Hickey replied. "After Edge got hit in the head, we hpd to reverse our plans com pletely. We’d planned to use Edge mostly on offense, and Black on defense, and the next thing you know there was Edge not able to remember a single play we had. It shook us." “No. he's not hurt bad. They'll keep him in the infirmary over night. and he still can’t remem ber what day it is—concussion. It happens all the time.” Did he feel handicapped by new substitution rules? "Well, yes.

The halftime spirit seemed to have caught on when a Cavalier took the second half kickoff and sprinted 98 yards for a score. It brought most of the fans to their feet, followed by a wave of dark mutterings on the Carolina side. One group of Tar Heel faithful* threatened to demonstrate if Ca rolina didn’t retaliate.
