The -event was signaled by brief ei'emonies in the office of Gov rnor Scott in Raleigh when Dr. lenry W. Jordan of Cedar Falls, lentist and industrialist, was worn in as temporary successor.

While munching cookies or sip ping glasses of punch, they may talk about Karl Mane, fraternity life, be-bop or religion. Topics are unlimited and about anything goes. Listening intently during these highly informal discussions will be the host for the’ gathering, Dr. Samuel Tilden Habel. In addi tion to being pastor of Chapel Hill’s. Baptist Church, a post he assumed recently, Dr. Habel is responsible for the spiritual wel fare of dver 2,000 Baptist students, the largest Protestant denomina tion represented on the Carolina Campus. “I began these little social get togethers in my home about a month ago,” Dr. Habel said. “In vitations are extended to about 20 young men and women to call at the parsonage once each week. It Sives me an opportunity to know the students better, and during the course of such an evening, I learn many things from and about them individually, things which help me understand what college people are thinking about thesej days,” he remarked. Dr, Habel, who came to Chapel kill frofrtftfe tr£S?^gg&^3sgfcaefc. than ordinary interest in this Church in Suffolk, Va., has more part of North Carolina. His grea t - great-grandfather, Miles Davis, was a circuit rider and used to preach in Chapel Hill around 1.840. It is possible that he was the town s first Methodist minister. Before going to Suffolk, Dr. Habel had served as pastor in Nashville and Enfield. The considerable task Dr. Habe. has is reflected in the active pai ticination of students in the af fairs of the Church. In addition to making up a large portion of the Sunday morning congregation students serve as ushers, members >f the choir and committeemen. Jetsey Huggins of Raleigh, a stu ient is a member of the Board o Deacons. She also serves as pres dens of the Baptist Student Union On Sunday nights, the BSU neets for supper in the basement if the Church. ‘They take .care ,f everything,”. Dr. Habel com men ted. “They set up the tables, prepare the food and arrange for the speaker of the evening—every thing.” During past weeks such 1 eminent personalities as singer ; Norman Cordon, novelist James ; Street, and playwright Paul Green Julius p. Herrin, student chap i lain, advises in the preparation of the programs. Dr. Habel received his Ph.D. ! from the University of Edinburg, 1 and his master of theology from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky. He feels that Chapel Hill is the most strategic position to which a min ister could be assigned in the South, if not the entire country. “The student at the University of North Carolina in general has | a healthy outlook, is of good mor al character and is not a senti mentalist about his religion. If he is lairly strong—and this seems to apply to a majority of the stu dents-*- he stands an excellent ' ‘■chance of coming out on top. In ahy case the ministers of the com munity have far-reaching influ ence in shaping the lives and fu tures of these young people. The responsibility capnot be taken 1 lightly.” Hillsboro.—A group of former Carolina basketball stars will meet the local Exchange Club boys’ team here next Thursday night, February 10, in a benefit game for the March of Dimes drive, it was announced here yesterday.

Neville of Chapel j Hill, The following is from the I Monro# newspaper: “Neville Day,” widely celebrat * c'd-ttr+Hrnof t he-superin'erfdent erf Monroe city schools for more than 40 years, was the occasion for nu merous short talks of eulogy from admirers, of this man • arfd . we: e given over-the-local radio systems. , It so happened that an aged col ored man Avh'irhad'worked for Mr. Neville for many years was among those who listened in.on the radio talks. Deeply impressed and bad ly depressed over "what he heard, he made his way to the funeral chapel and knocking timidly at a hack door declared with faltering voice: “I’s come ter see de body!” was his simple explanation v *’ _“What body did you want to. see?” —w_ “I’s come to see Mistah Neville's body.” —“Why, Mr. Nevillehs~riot dead. He is very much alive,’ was'.the answer. The Negro squared himself off and with bulging eyes and skepti cal countenance he shot out “Does .you all mean ter say that aftah all dat talk over- the radio he is not dead?” Again he was reassured. “Massah sakes Ah nevah heered _ali~:dut- talk uiiuul. any. j.-.-ui who - wak still llivi!” declared, fite Negro as he turned around and started__ backdown the street s” This true >Wn was made known by Mr. Neville himself and was related by Mr. Neville's nephew, Lindsay Neville of Chapel Hill.
