Founding Day Ceremony
Set At UNC Saturday
St. John's Seminary, Little Rock, Ark.
n Streak To Five
University Day, the comniieniora-
tion of the physical founding of the
University will again be celebrated
here wi.th traditional pageantry Sat
urday.
October 12 is the actual anniver
sary of the laying of the corner
stone in 1793 of Old East—the Uni
versity’s first building, but its oc
currence on Sunday this year
brings the celebration a day early.
Gen. William R. Davie and other
Revolutionary leaders who founded
the University will be portrayed
by members of the Carolina Play-
makers in the reenactment of the
cornerstone laying.
The ceremony will begin at 11
a.m. Saturday on the steps of
South Building.
Chancellor William B. Aycock,
who .will lead the assembly in the
traditional memorial tribute, will
be celebrating also his first year
as head of the University in Chap
el Hill. It was on Satirrday, Oct.
12, 1957 that he was officially in
stalled as chancellor.
The Men’s Glee Club, directed by
Joel Carter, and the UNC Band, di
rected by Herbert Fred, will have
major roles in the celebration
which traditionally ends with a pro
fessional march to Davie Poplar
for the program’s conclusion.
Members of the University’s
Board of Trustees and retired facul
ty members will be special guests
for the occasion which will be at
tended by students, faculty, admin
istrative personnel and visitors to
the campus.
Although 1793 saw the physical
beginning of the University, its
doors were not opened for over a
year after that. It was on Feb. 12,
1795, that the first student, Hinton
James, arrived in Chapel HUl.
The University had been char
tered in 1789, 13 years after the
adoption of the Revolutionary State
Constitution, which provided that
“all useful learning shall be duly
encouraged and promoted in one
Or more universities.’’

BRIEFS, Page 6)
Skeptics who believed Chapel
Hill’s Wildcats have been riding
along undefeated on a measure of
luck are probably reconsidering
their doubt today.
Coach Bob Culton’s charges
marked up their fifth straight vic
tory of the season and their fourth
without defeat jn District Three
Eastern AA conference, by down
ing strong and stubborn Hillsboro
Saturday night on the latter’s
home grounds, 13-0.
The victory, attained on slow
footing and after a day’s postpone
ment because of steady rains Fri
day, ended a long victory drought
for the local Wildcats. They hadn’t
teaten their north-county neighbors
since 1949.
Chapel Hill took the “Battle of
Orange” after fighting their bigger
Hillsboro adversaries to a 0-0 stand
off for the first half and then strik
ing twice w^hen the opportunity was
there in the last half.
Roxboro Next
Next comes the biggest showdown
of the season flor Chapel Hill.
Their opponent here Friday night,
in a game that’s bound to draw
the 'season”s biggest crowd if the
weather cooperates, will be with
powerful Roxboro, which also has
not dropped a game and is tied
with the local team for the AA
conference lead,
Roxboro has buried everything
in sight with a potent running
game and a stout defense. Chapel
Hill can run but, when the oc
casion arises, is even stronger in
the air. It shapes up as the “game
of the year” for local prep school
fans.
An opportune fumble and a
slunning pass proved Chapel Hill’s
formula against Hillsboro.
The two neighborhood rivals
scrapped virtually to a standstill in
the first tw'O' quarters, Hillsboro's
big line containing Chapel Hill’s
running and keeping the pressure on
Chapel Hill’s ace passer, Subir
Roy. At the same time, the lum
bering Hillsboro attack was stalled
by alert Chapel Hill defensive play.
The turn of fortune that changed
the game came shortly after 'half-
time, when Hillsboro Quarterback
Harvey Reinhardt bobbled and then
fumbled the ball on a punt on his
ow'n 15 yard line. Chapel Hill End
Bobby Larsh quickly covered it.
TD The Hard Way
It took a while, but Chapel Hill
made it. Fullback Bill Whitney
banged for two off tackle, and
Halfback Dave Henry cut for eight.
Roy made a first down on the
three, and then smacked over right
tackle for the touchdown. Larry
Crabtree’s try for the extra point
failed.
That was all the scoring until the
final quarter, when it came like a
thunderbolt.
Roy spotted fleet halfback Charlie
Hubbard in the open from his own
37 and hit him with a pass. Hub
bard got behind the Hillsboro sec-

Orange County Wildlife Protec
tor Bob Logan said today that 11,-
000 shell cracker fish have been
put into two county creeks to pro
mote fishing in the areas.
Mr. Logan said that 5,500 of the
game fish have been put in Eno
Creek for benefit of fishermen in
the Hillsboro area, and 5,500 more
in New Hope Creek for benefit of
anglers in the Highway 86 area.
The fish are said to be similar
to bream but grow up to two
pounds. The fish were brought
here from the state’s hatchery at
Fayetteville.
A similar number of shell crack
ers were put in the same creeks
last year, Mr. Logan said.
Meanwhile, the protector noted
that the first half of the split dove
season ended Saturday. .
“The first part of the season in
the county was very good, but the
latter part wasn’t so hot,” Mr. Lo
gan said. The second half of the
season begins early in December.
Two hundred and fifty Chapel
Hillians will ring 2,500 doorbells
during the Community Chest cam
paign starting November 3.
Mrs. Earl Wynn and Mrs. Harold
Walters will lead them as co-
chairmen of the residential area
solicitation.
“We couldn’t have two ’ better
people for the job,” said Orville
Campbell chairman of the chest
drive. “The residential solicitation
reaches more people than any oth
er division, so is one of its most
important phases.”
The co-chairmen are both lead
ers in Chapel Hill and state activ
ities. “Their belief in the Com
munity Chest, and their willing

Homecoming
Is 'Supposed'
For Lincoln
Lincoln High School is to play
its Homec(>ming game here Thurs
day night. Or is it?
School officials could only say
today that the homecoming activi
ties are “supposed” to be held at
the scheduled Lincoln-Monroe Ave.
High School football game.
“It all depends on whether our
guests are coming,” a school
spokesman said.
It seems that transportation
problems may force Monroe, of
Hamlet, to forego the game, the
official said. If they don’t come,
he said, the homecoming activities
will have to be held at a game
later in the schedule. A decision
on whether the game and the
homecoming will be held was to
be made later today. A queen will
be selected by vote-selling when
it is definitely decided.
Lincoln boasts one of the most
all-winning high school football
teams in the nation, with 26
straight wins. Five of those wins
have come this year, as Coach
Willie Bradshaw's minions have al
lowed only one touchdown.
TATUM WILL SPEAK
University Coach Jim Tatum will
be the speaker at the Faculty Club
luncheon to be held tomorrow at
the Carolina Inn at 1 o’clock. Prof.
George M. Harper is president of
the club.
MRS BOND
Members of the Board of Trus
tees of the new public library,
who were appointed recently by
the Board of Aldermen, met lor
the first time last week. They
elected officers, as required by
North Carolina law, chose a
name for the library, decided on
quarters, appointed a librarian,
and discussed other important
matters.
The officers elected are: Mrs.
Richmond Bond, Chairman of the
Board; Miss Cornelia Love, Sec
retary; Gordon Perry, Treasurer.
Other Board members are Mrs.
Robert Wettach, Mrs. Carlyle Sit-
terson, and George M. Harper.
The name chosen for the new
library is the Chapel Hill Public
Library.
. It will be located in the Hill
House on Franklin Street, in
first floor rooms at the east en
trance. This is known to old-
timers in Chapel HiM as the
Bryan place; it is now owned by
the Baptist Church.
Mrs. Gerald MacCarthy has ac
cepted the appointment as li
brarian. Mrs. MacCarthy is a
trained librarian of wide experi
ence, which includes both uni
versity and special libraries.
The Board is now proceeding
with plans for purchasing shelv
es and other equipment. In addi
tion to the town’s appropriation
the Library is receiving $3,000
in federal funds for equipment
and a basic collection of refer
ence books.
It is not yet possible to set a
date for opening, but Mrs. Bond
said the date may be .set at the
board’s next meeting.
Local Recreation Group Pondering
Proposal To Increase Site Acreage
Lenard Warren To Sing Tonight
Metropolitan Opera star Leonard
Warren will appear in Memorial
Hall tonight at 8 o’clock in a
concert sponsored by the Chapel
Hill concert series.
Student's will be admitted to
balcony seats free upon presenta
tion of Identification cards. Student
wives with their husbands will be
chai'ged $1. The public will be
charged $3.
Warren started the current sea
son in September with the San
Francisco Opera with appearances
in three of his great roles, Scar-
pia in “Tosca.” "Simon Boccane-
gra” and “Falstaff.”
Accompanied by Willard Sektberg
at the piano, Warren will render
selections by Beethoven, Caldara,
Caccini and Bach to open the per
formance.
The second part of the program
will be "Don Quichotle a Dulcinee”
bv Maurice Ravel, and the third
LEONARD WARREN
'part will be Credo, from ‘“Otello”
by Giuseppe Verdi.
After a slight intermission, the
concert will continue with selec
tions on the piano by Sektberg,
and Warren’s rendition of parts of
“Faust” by Charles France is
Gounod.
The final numbers on the pro
gram include “Colorada Trad” and
“Blow the Man down,” two tradi
tional arrangements by Tom Scott;
“Tell Me O Blue, Blue Sky,” by
Vittorio Giannini; and “M i s t e r
Jim"’ by Albfert Hay Malotte.
Newsweek magazine recently
called Warren “the world’s finest
dramatic baritone.’’
He made his debut with the
Metropolitan Opera in 1939 and
rose through minor roles to dom
inate the company's baritone rosier,
success in Chapel Hill means a
very great deal to all of us,”
Campbell stressed.
“If we are interested in the
future of our community,” Mrs.
Walters said, “we must work lor
the welfare of our young people.
We must help fill their needs, as
we will through the Communitv
Chest program.”
Mrs. Wynn pointed out that the
ten Community Chest organiza
tions “benefit every citizen of
the community. I am willing to
put in many hours on this drive
because I can help all of these
agencies at one time.”
Mrs. Wynn is very familiar with
the programs of the ten Chest-sup-
ported agencies as she has been
ice-electcd chairman of the Com
munity Council which has a mem
bership of more than 60 local or
ganizations. One of its major ac
tivities is support and sponsorship
of the Community Chest.
She was president for three years
of the American Association of
University Women, has been chair
man of the nursery at the Presby
terian church, and was social chair
man of the Chapel Hill Country
Club.
Mother of two children of pre
school age, Mrs. Wynn also works
for the Service Insurance and
Realty Co. She has an MA degree
from the University of North Car
olina, and taught for five years as
an assistant professor in the De
partment of Radio and Television.
Mrs. Harold Walters is a mem.-
ber of Chapel Hill’s board of al
dermen, the first woman to so
serve.
A former teacher of history and
social science, she has been pres
ident of the League of Women
Voters, and vice president of the
North Carolina Council of Women’s
Organizations. Two summers ago
she directed the latter group’s
leadership training workshop.
Mrs. Walter’s interest in the
Community Chest is also due to
her positions as chairman of the
recreation committee of the board
of aldermen, and director of the
Carrboro - Chapel Hill Recreation
Center, a Community Chest project.
“I want to do what I can to see
that the programs of all our Com
munity Chest activities are ade
quately financed,” Mrs. Walters
said.
'Speaking of the residential area
drive, Mrs. Wynn stressed, “It
gives every family, and home, a
chance to contribute. Our part as
co-chairmen is no more important
than that of all who work on it.”

Chapel Hill-Carrboro Recreation,
Inc. on Oct. 20 will consider the
proposal of John Umstead, Jr., for
the donation of an additional three
acres of land providing the group
builds a “suitable" recreation
center.
“Suitable,” according to Rev.
Charles Hubbard, president of the
association, “means one big enough
for the community to use.”
The additional acreage would
increase to almost 10 acres the
nurnber available to the associa
tion for construction of a recrea
tion center. Mr, Umstead also
donated initial acreage.
At a meeting last week, mem
bers of the executive committee
and Mr. Umstead concurred on the
idea that plans for the center were
not adequate for the community.
Mr. Umstead told the group that
it was his suggestion to build a
building twice the size of one cur
rently being planned. When the
problem of financing the plan was
made, Mr. Umstead suggested ac
quisition of a loan.
The proposed building is ex
pected to cost around $75,000. At
the meeting last week, it was dis
closed that the group has $20,000
in the bank, $12,000 is still out
standing in pledges, ami $10,000
additional is to be raised.
'Ideal' For Diamond
'rhe proposed building for the
site would be 8,800 square feet.
Rev. Hubbard said the site is also
“ideal” for a Little League and
softball diamond. He said the lo
cal Kiwanis club has agreed to put
up a professional - type backstop if
they can spend the money on it
before the end of their fiscal' year
Dec. 31.
The proposed building’s main
floor includes plans for a 4,500-
square-foot ballroom, a kitchen,
two club rooms, a snack r(jom, a
large lobby, a crafts room, an of
fice, a check room and rest rooms.
A lower floor will be an open 342
square-foot activities room, with
fireplace.
Rev. Hubbard said that the con
tract for the building should be let
between now and the first of the
year and the building completed,
possibly, by next June.
