CHRISTMAS CAROLERS Mrs. Orgera’s kindergarten and nursery school pupils sang carols for patients §t Gravely Sanator ium yesterday morning. The chil dren gathered on the lawn to sing and the patients came to the win dows to listen. Help the underprivileged through the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Community Chest. —Athletic, Music Program Proposed— (Continued from Page 1) the junior high school would en able gradual development of a similar program in the senior high school as junior high mu sicians moved up. vis you get a band director in the high school you’ll have to get rid of two teachers," said Super intendent Howard Thompson. “You have to pay feteo for a good band director. Where’* the money coming from?” Mr Perry said such a program ta train students to play instru mente, though not necessarily for a marching band, was something thg ghffnld have. “I don’t moan majorettes marching down the street flipping their skirts up or anything Ike that.” he said, "but something the kids can be proud of.” Dr. Thompmn said he had a school that ran a hand with no money: Lincoln High. Some Board members were unaware that Lracahi ran its band with no finan c1 a 1 assistance. Dr. ~ Thompson was ashtd how Lincoln did it. He replied that he didn’t know, and didn’t ask questions, but that the band director taught a full load ki rddiKVw to his band work. (Board member J. R. Man ley announced a few minutes la- , ter that Chapel Hill Quakers had i given money to Lincoln for the band program.) Mr. Perry persisted hi his rec ommendation. The Board subse quently agreed that if such a program could be nut on a con tinuous basis, “we should at least give them the stick to start walking with,” as Mr. Perry put it Mr. Pressley agreed to gather information and other particu lars about a music program for later submission to the Board. "I hope something comes of this,” said Dr. Mitchell as he departed. Athletics: Mr. Pressley said be had 775 students, taking physical educa tion; that all available space, indoors and, out, was used for play; Oat two basketball goals bad been put up; but that there was no regular intramural ath letic program because the junior high school building was not quite complete, and there was no one to run such a program. High school coach Robert Culton and his assistant are working with the high school athletic pro gram at the time a junior hisi program would be operating. “There is a tremendous need for this kind of program” said Mr. Pressley. He said that if two people worked two hours a day running such a program four or five days a week the benefits would be considerable. Mr. Tenney moved that *"pr Pressley be authorized to sefeap such a program within thepro visions of the State Department of Public Instruct km regulations governing junior high school in tramurals and inter-scholastic athletics. Board member Dr. Fred Ellis said the Board should not do any thing without prior study. “We don’t want a spontaneous auth orization without knowing what it will cost.” Board member Mrs. Ross Scroggs pointed out that .in 1961 a UNC coach and a physician who were then members of the Board, had said junior high school athletics were medical ly unsound. Junior High school students are in their fast est growth period, she said, and the danger of injury was greater to them than to more physically hardened high school students. Mr. Perry countered with a re cent opinion of the American Medical Association, that a junior high athletic program (“the right kind of program”), well instruct ed, was medically sound. Pacifist Lecture Is Given Tonight David Mcßeynolds, 34, of the pa cifist War Resisters League will speak in Carroll Hall tonigit at 8 p.m. on “The Relationship Be tween Peace and Civil Rights.” Mcßeynolds, a Californian, is being sponsored by the local chap ter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and the cam pus chapter of Student Peace Union (SPU) for whom he is an advisor. Since his college career at UCLA in the early 19505, Mc- Reynolds has been a part of movements against college ROTC and Civil Defense. He ran for Congress from New York City in 1958 on the Social ist Party ticket backed by Nor man Thomas. He has been a field secretary for War Resisters League since 1960. All students and guests are in vited. t PRESIDING OFFICER Dr. Hermit F. Knudtzon, of the UNC School of Dentistry, presid ed over a three-day workshop for general dental practitioners spon sored in Chicago this week by the American Dental Association. The Chapel Hill Weekly, issued every Sunday ami Wed nesday, and is entered as sec ond-cuss matter February 28, 1823, at the peat ntfW at Chap el Hill North Carolina, publish ed to the Chapel Hill Publish ing Company, Inc., is under the act of March 1,1171. + i! THE CHAPEL HILL WEEKLY Mr. Pressley said there was “a keen need” for such a pro gram; that it would, of course, require money, but that in his experience an athletic program did more than any other factor to improve students’ behavior. It also works off their excess energy and tensions, he said, qnd that at the moment Guy B. Phillips stu dents had little to do besides run in the halls (“if we would let them”) and stand around out side. Mr. Perry said he thought the junior high school ought to have an intramural basketball pro gram immediately . Mr. Pressley was authorised to study the feasibility of such a program; what it would consist of, the need for it, who would be involved, its cost, and how it would operate on both intramur al and interschoiastic levels. There were murmurs among Board members of the need to before precipitately launching an actual program Mr. Tenney said, “I dL’t see why we have to study something thats ta operation in 50 states and every county.” Dr. Ellis said in an under tone ‘ 1 fr* don’t want to pass ' ' *'*' m "' 1 ~ ■ 1 »' " 'M i i ——■ ~i . v. • *' .

Finally Mr. Pressley was told to go ahead and conduct his feasibility study, reporting to the Board through Dr. Thompson with a proposed program as soon as convenient. Playground*: Dr. Fowler presented the Board with a request and a map. He said the Efctes Hills playground was muddy and unusable ta wet weather, and (hat the Estes Hills PTA had worked out a plan tor paving a 100 by 150-foot area as. a playground. He said the pav ing would cost &200, and asked the Board’s approval and support of the project. Dr. Ellis wanted to know what Dr. Fowler meant by “support.” Mr. Tenney proposed Shat the money be requested from the„ County Commissioners ta Janu ary, to appear in the Board’s 1963-64 budget. Dr. Ellis said that if this were done for Estes Hills, the same would have to be done for the other schools. Mr. Tenney: “If there’s hunger everywhere, we shouldn’t turn our back on everyone. t Let’s feed the one that’s crying ” Dr. Ellis replied to Mr. Ten ney’s “hunger" analogy. “Some people have the strength not to cry.” Mrs. Scroggs supported Dr. El lis’ contention. "We shouldn’t do this unless we’re willing to do it for all the schools.” “Then we’d have to reimburse Carrboro (for its parking lot),” said Dr. Thompson. "These (Estes Hills) people have tried to help themselves. They’ve come to us with a pro posal,” said Mr. Tenney. “Carrboro has been and been and been (to ua),* said Mrs. Scroggs. Mr. Manley added that paving at Frank P. Graham Elementary School “had actually been in the hopper, but somehow it got side tracked.'’ Mr. Tenney withdrew his mo tion and made a new one: re- 23>AYSESftt^ when Requested Phone 942*2960 COLONIAL RUG GLEANERS quest the County Commissioners to approve up to f$,5M tor each school for exterior classroom space. Dr. Ellis suggested that this re quest might jeopardise the Board's probable request for money for new School rooms, but Mr. Tenney’s motion was passed. The PTA’s plan was approved “for planning purposes.” Other buetaees; A two per cent reduction in aU the State’s schools’ reimbursement for milk progiqnns forced f» Board to • . .. !>-■ ------ ... . ■ - - Wednesday, Dec. 11, 1963 raise the price of “extra” milk from three to four cents per half pint. The reduced reimburse ment cost can be absorbed in the regular school lunch milk pro gram, Dr. Thompson said. Dr. Thompson was authorized to hire an administrative assist ant to do office paper work and conduct school studies. The Bbard agreed not to allow the taking of class pictures in elementary schools, but will al low such pictures to be taken ta junior high schools.
