JOSEPH MORRISON soc'iate Dean of the General Col lege. All Effective Immediately All three appointments are ef fective immediately, the Chancel lor said. Dean Spruill received his A.B. at the University, his B. Litt. at Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar, and took addi- lional work at Harvard for two years. He joined the UNC faculty in 1922, and became full professor of economics 10 years later. Prof. Sitterson is a three-degree gfaduate of the University, having completed his A.B., B.S. and Ph.D. degrees here. A member of the iaculty since 1935, he became a full professor in 1947. A faculty member since 1931 “Boss.” a four-year-old En- li.sh Setter owned by Bill Eu banks of near Bynum, has earn ed his keep for life, according to. his owner. Mr. Eubanks, a mechanic for Colonial Motors, credits his full-blooded hunting dog with SJiVing the life of his 10-yoar- old son, Gordon, in preventing a likely attack on the boy. by a copperhead snake. U was one atyernoon last week as the boy wa.s playing by himself in the back yard of their home when the four-fuo( long reptile drop ped out of a tree beside him. According to Mr. Eubanks, the boy said he froze in terror at first. The dog immediately bounded over between him and the snake, and the snake struck at the dog, who jumped out of reach just in time. Gave A Scream Gordon gave an involuntary scream, alarming the dog even more and apparently causing “Boss” to snatch up the snake in his mouth about midway in his body. He tore out a good hunk of the wriggling reptile’s flesh as it twisted and struck at him in the mouth, sinking the poisonous fangs into (he dog’s soft facial skin. "Boss” dropped the snake, then snapped him up again, this time closing his paws on the rep tile just behind his head, and killing him. Mrs. Eubanks, hear ing her son's outcry, came out to deliver the coup de grace blow to the snake. Meanwhile “Boss's'' b e a d swelled up to almost twice its normal size, finally narrowing h.s eyes to mere slits. Mr. Eu banks treated the injured area with an alum solution, helping the swelling to go down and now the dog’s practcally cured. “I almost killed him one time trying to break him from run ning birds in a covey while lie wa.s hunting,” said Mr. Eubanks, “Blit now 1 don't think there's a better trained dog anywhere. "He's certainly earned his keep for life.” While the UNC trustees were discussing Saturday's ruling by a three-man federal court that the University must receive and process applications from Negro undergraduates, the UNC Law School was admitting some half dozen Negro students to Its classes. Included was one wo man. This is the largest number ot Negroes so far admitted. Other Negro applications are being considered, said Dean Brandis. The UNC Medical School, which has one Negro student, who was admitted last year, contemplates no new Negro admissions this year, according to Dean Berry- hill. increase Of Parking Fine To $2.50 Is Proposed To Board Of Aldermen and full professor since 1946, Prof. A propo.sal to increase parking , Tuesdays off as a result of a sur- Jolinson received his A.

Water was a half-inch deep m he basement classroom of Mrs. Jewel Alexander when schoo pened last Wednesday. When pa rents heard about the condition a meeting was called by the Paren - Teacher Association with the dis- .rict committee in the library at Jie school on Thursday night. At that time the committee ap proved the shifting of the class room to a main floor in which Mrs. P. Cleveland Gardner’s music classes have been held. Parents and School Principal Reid Suggs spent most of Friday rearranging .he rooms. Music instruction was shifted to the basement room where the piano was put on a plat form and classroom desks were put in Principal Sugg’s office which was shifted to the former music room. Generally poor con ditions at the school were exposed at Thursday evening's meeting. It was brought out that the floor in r H Mrs. Myers Passes Sunday the fourth grade basement room was flooded on several occasions last year and pupils had “skated on ice” in the room during the i winter. The lack of fire extin-! j guishers in the building wa.s also j I cited at the meeting. For the past j I several years the auditorium in | i the main school building has long ■ j been condemned. | I One of the main objectives of i the meeting, for both the PTA and the School Committee, was to in- ! itiate a citizens drive to improve I the facilities of the Carrboro school and of the schools in gen- I eral in this community. i-f'i Mrs. Cnrlene Gray Myers, 63, sco'retary-treasurer of the Chapel Hill Schools for the past 15 years, died of a lieaid attack at her home, 724 Gimghoul Road, Sunday morn ing.
