' William C. Friday, recently ap

University of North Carolina, "grew
up in Dallas, N. C. in Gaston Coun

Dallas, Texas, they say. '
Friday, a quiet and bard-working
administrator, attended two units
of the Consolidated ' University
State College first, and then Chapel
Hill. But before that he did bis un
dergraduate work at Wake Forest.
Friday figures 13 is his lucky
number. He was born on the 13th,
and --many other, fortunate events
of his career have occurred on the
13th. So he doesn't worry st all
