CONSIDERING THE NECESSI
ty for ordering new informational
tabs for the parking meters in
Chapel Hill, town officials check
ed a sample meter they had.
They found that the manufacturer
had an 8 a.m. tab on the front,
which applies to the current
hours for* pay parking, and * 9
a.m. starting time on the re
verse side. So new tabs won’t
have to be ordered for the double
meters. They’ll just need to be
turned over.
ADD THIS TO YOUR FILE OF
incidental intelligence on parking
meters: Patrolman Gene Cozart
collects about $275 from them
every Tuesday and Friday. Of the
total there’s usually about $140 in
pennies, $120 in nickels, and the
remainder in dimes.—That means
14,000 pennies in the average
semi-weekly collection. Placed in
sacks, the pennies alone are al
most more than a man can carry.
UNC JOURNALISM PROF. JOE
Monjson, -who last year appeared
on the* TV quiz show “Twenty.
One,” has suggested a remedy f6r
alleged “fixes” on such produc
tions. His proposal, is to put the
questions in sealed envelopes and
let them come up at random. Mor
rison said he was ignorant of any
“coaching” Iran the producers
while he was on the program, but
noted he’d been tested, and they
pretty well knew his strengths mid
weaknesses. He was on the pro
gram for three weeks before be
ing beaten by Etfrida Von Nard
.roff who topped Charles Van Do
ren's winnings.
A DURHAM PAINTER WAS
nabbed by police, assisted by
Campus Security Office A. J.
Beaumont, on charges of scalping
tickets at the UNC-USC game last
Saturday. The ducats, surprising
as it may seem, were going for
as much at $10 a pair. Beaumont
made a buy from Lucius S. Up
church of Durham, then held him
for police arrest. Last year a
fleet-footed scalper escaped a po
liceman's grip by slipping out of
his overcoat and scampering away
in the pre-game crowd—knocking
down a woman in his flight.
ON THE UNIVERSITY SPORTS
front, the CaroHna Athletic Asso
ciation has contacted Kenan Stad
ium donor William Rand Kenan
about the possibility of enlarging
the stadium to accommodate
UNC’s future enrollment of 12,000.
Idea would be to fill in the end
zones 1dm the present stands,
forming a bowl. Consideration is
also being renewed toward get
ting a coliseum-type field house
for indoor sports.

'Here we have founded a University'...
A dream - in 1793
AFTER 166 YEARS — Students and townspeople
massed in front of South Bulding on the Universtiy
campus in Chapel Hill on Monday morning to observe
the i66lh anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone
of Old East Dormitory — the University’s first building
on October is, 1793.
Featured speaker at the original occasion, the Rev.
Samuel McCorkle, declared at that time—‘Here we have
founded a University — to instruct and teach our youth
. . . May this hill be for religion as the ancient hill of
lion; and for literature and the Muses, may it surpass
the ancient Parnagsus.”
— And so amidst the stately buildings and rolling
lawns of today’s campus, the University paused this week
to recall Jhe dreams of far'visioned citizens in the earli
est days of this country. , News Photo
