Saturday before engaging st.

They'll have to hustle" says
John Kundla. coach of the Lakers,
the team that beat the Caps in the
final of the Basketball Association
of America playoffs last year.
Rugged, But Ineffective.
"They may make the playoffs
this year." says Kundla, "but I
doubt it. I hope they do. But
they seem to have lost the scoring
punch they had last year.
"They have the most rugged
team on the floor and they're a
fighting team. But they don't
compare with last years."

the Caps?

University Officials Prediction

Registration for the first term
of the University's summer ses-
sion was held yesterday, and
classroom work will begin today.
Although final figures were
not available when this paper
went to press, it appears from
estimates by Guy B. Phillips, di-
rector of the summer session,
and Roy Armstrong, director of
admissions, that the enrolment
will be around 4,3O0. That is
about 200 below the enrolment
for last summers first term.
The dormitories were nearly
filled yesterday. Mr.. Phillips
said yesterday that Aycock and
Everett dormitories had been
assigned to married couples, and
that &C" dormitory (the new
one just west of the tennis
courts) would be occupied by
women.
Mr.. Armstrong; estimate was
for regular students, as distinct
from students here or the sum-
mer only. Between 1900 and
$500 regular students already
are registered for the summer
session." he said, land it looks
as If there will be about 100 new
ones. That should put the en-
rollment of regulars between g.
400 and 2,6OO."
Summer session students are
being invited to a gathering ct

meet the members of the admin

Mrs. Berryhin Gets
Snake i'm LawnmOwer

On bright sunny afternoon last
week Mrs. w. r. BerryhiII was NOW
ing the lawn of her home on East
Franklin street (the former Horace
Williams home). 1t was more of q
pastime and less Of q chOrs than
lawnmowing often is, for she was
using a power mower and so was
freed from the toll 0f pushing and
ha3 tO do only the guiding.
She guided the mower against the
edge Of thick bed Of periwinkle and
honeysuckle along the border of the
neighbOring Umstead lot. Suddenly
the blades stopped. AS always in such
case, Mrs. BerryhilI stopped the
engine preparatory to removing
tough weeds, or whatever the obstruc-
tion might be. Next, she put on her
glasses, which were hanging from .
cord around her neck.
When she leaned over to peer into
the mower she saw, about foot from
her face, full-grown copperhead
waving its head at her and sticking
out its forked tongue. She turned
around rapidly, retreated to the
house, and gave up lawnmowing for
the day.
The copperhead had got caught
firmly between the blades and the
steel bars of the frame, and had been
cut by the blades. 1t was dead when
DR.. Berryhill came home, and he got
the body out and put the mower into
good clean condition. Mrs. Berryhill
was moving, again next day, more
watchfully than before.

Ray Resiens as
Town MANAGER:
His New Job Is
In Fayetteville

Gilbert w. Ray has resigned
as town manager of Chapel Hill
to become city manager Of Fay
etteville at a salary of $500 a
year. His resignation will take
effect July /.
He will make short visits to
Fayetteville this month, in con-
nection with the preparation of
the city's budget for the coming
year; and, after he takes his
new post, he will come back to
Chapel Hill now and then dur
ing the summer to give help to
his successor. Who his successor
will be is not yet known. The
mayor and the aldermen will
begin at once to look around"
for a competent man.
At their meeting Wednesday
evening the mayor and the
aldermen EXPRESSED their deep
regret at Mr.. Rays resignation
and gave him their good wishes.
Mr.. Ray came here two years
ago after having served for sew
eral years as Orange county ac-
countant. He had won a reputa-
tion all over the State as an able
administrator, so that, as Mayor
Lanier remarked at the board
meeting this week, I'VE have all
realized that it was only q mat
ter of time before some larger
town would take Mr. Ray away
from us."
Mr.. Rays leaving is just an
Otner bit OF evidence that it is
one Of Chapel Hills functions to
serve as . training ground for
city managers for other places.
Mr. Ray told q friend one day
this Areek siist, far from having
any complaint about the salary
paid to him here, he thought
Chapel Hill had treated me very
WELL" His initial salary was
$4,000, and this was raised to
$500. Fayetteville, a city of
$4,000, can offer him more be-
cause of its greater resources.
