The Rev. John Edward Ensign,
pastor of the New Hope and Ef-
land Churches, announced during
L;ervices yesterday that he has ac
cepted a call to the East Hanover
Presbytery in Virginia.
The Rev. Ensign has delayed the
acceptance of his new position un
til after the 200th anniversairy of
the New Hope Church on August
24, and the dedication of the new
church at that time.
He will assume hi.; new work as
Director of Camps and Conferenc
es for the East Hanover Presby
tery, which includes churches in
the Richmond and Petersburg area,
on September 1.
The 'Rev, Ensign came to the
New Hope and Efland Chdrches' in
August of 1948 at homecoming
time. Under his leadership these
past eight years the New Hope
Church’s congregation has built its
first man.;3, and has recently com
pleted a new church and church
school structure evaluated at .$85,-
000.
In building the new church the
members of the congregation did
much of the construction under
the leadership of the Rev. Ensign.

becau.se oi the new church's
unique t^uilding plan, it has receiv
ed national recognition, including
an article in the Saturday Evening
Post.
. 'ihe Efland Church haj also re
cently achieved national recogni
tion, when it received a large gift
from the late Will Ed Thompson
estate. This gift is jiust now be
coming available to the 30-member
church and improvements to the,
ciiurch cemetery are in progress.
The Rev. Ensign ha.S' become the
recognized leader in camping for
the Southern Prej-oyterian Churjeh.
For tlte past five years the Nation
al Council of Churches has chosen
Camp New Hope for its Southeast
er Regional Training Camp for
Church Camp leaders, and for the
past two years the Rev. En..\gn has
directed this training.
He and Mrs. Ensign have written
two books on church camping.
These two books have been pub
lished by the National Council of
Churches, and are u ’-:d by 28 de
nominations.
Just recently the Ensigns have
been commissioned by the Nation
al Council of Churches to write a
third book on camping as a guide
for leaders.
At hij new job in the East Han
over Presbytery, which is one of
the largest presbyteries in the
Southern Presbyterian Church, the
Rev. Ensign will be camp director.
For some months the Presbytery
ha ■ held up plans for building a
new camn until he can assiim.^ his
new duties. A campaign to raise
$250,000 for a camp on the newly

For some it was a new exper
ience. For other.s it was just a
penalty for being lazy in the
spring. And for others it was a
sojourn into past years.
This was registration for the
first summer term at the Uni
versity last Friday and Saturday.
There were the freshmen, com
ing to Carolina for the first time,
and looking forward to the next
four years. There were the Caro
lina,. hold-overs, coming back to
make up some work ^or to get a
little ahead for 'next year. There
were i-he transfers, coming here
from other schools to see what
“the Carolina way of life” is real
ly like. There were the graduates,
coming, back to learn a little more,
and to see “if” and “how” col
lege has changed since they were
here.
Some 3,000 strong they came,
they registered, and. Friday morn
ing, they began classes. Nearly
180 of the regular teaching staff
and 25 visiting instr^ctoi*s, alto
gether teaching some 360 courses,
met them there. Then it started ...
By Friday evening the students
—Bermuda shorts and all—had
withdrawn from the class build
ings to participate in “the other
side of ediicalion,” They crowded
into the restaurants, movies, and
just walked up and down the
street. There was a big crowd
watching the fight on television,
and even a party down at Hogan’s.
But for a few Friday night was
different. For these few the night
meant study and “plenty of it”,
and the mid-night oil was kept
burning but “not for too long.”
For mos) the .study-session.s ended
in talk-sessions.
The weekend was just a contin
uation — exc^yjt f 01 _ Saturday
classes. Some studied, some so-
ciab'/iid, .^onie went home, some
headed for the beach. Parking
places on Franklin Street could
.still bv^ found and with not too
much searching.
On campus the tennis courts were
busy, and down the Raleigh Road
a lot of people,were chasing golf
balls. Others preferred ju.st to
walk around, admiring the scen
ery and learning more about “this
place they call Chapel Hill.”
For .some It was like old home
week. Old friends were back.
“Why I haven’t seen him since
. we graduated from high school,”
or “Her first name is Mary, but
for the life of me I can’t think of
her last name.’
Sunday the new' students joined
the old and went to church. For
the old it was just like always,
but for the new it was something
different—at least they thought
so at first. But “it's just like being
at home; people are all so friend
ly.”
This morning—well registration
was over, the weekend w'as over,
classes continued, and the work
was just beginning.

que.stions directed from the floor
on the recent annexation at

an outside concern to help at
tract industry. Both questions
have been raised in the past.
Applications for annexation
have already been received from
Hidden Hills, Ridgefield and the
University Lodge - Pines section,
the speakers reported. Regarding
the salp of■utili
ties, the speakers revealed that
there is a possibility that the stale

ties while retaining .these of the
University.
Gus Culbertson, of the club’s
board of directors, presided at
the meeting following a policy of
rotation recently inaugurated by
the president, Walt Baucom.
