A while back, we were talking with one fo the wealthiest , alumni of this University and, we imagine, one of the health iest contributors to the athletic program that, of course, meaning football. Football was his sport, his interest and half his life, "I was in Chapel Hill the other day," he told us, "and talked with some of the athletic officials and I think we are going to get more cooperation from the faculty than we have had in the past. They're going to make things a lot easier for the boys from now on." He was speaking of football players. He even mentioned the possibility of the "boys" being given a "break" on the selective service deferment examina tion. - We should like to think there is nothing to this. Perhaps there isn't. Then perhaps there is. Whatever the answer, it's all part of big-time football. N The debilitating effects of big-time or professionalized football on higher education are well known and understood throughout the land. Becoming aware of these effects, led the University of Chicago and MIT to abolish the ever-engaging sport, and most other top-flight educational institu tions to de-emphasize. But out of the confusion and haze of World War II the University here at Chapel Hill went in the wrong direction and began to recruit foatball teams that could compete with the best in the land. Now we appear to be on the verge of besting the best and "we're going to get more cooperation from the faculty .; . ." We should have quite a football team during the coming years. To determine this one has only to look at the "ma teriar that is flowing in here from all sorts of peculiar places. And the components of this material didn't just hap pen to select Chapel Hill because of the climate. If and when the men who run this University decide to settle down and begin rebuilding education, instead of being so concerned with brick, marble, , protoplasm, and yelling mobs, athletic-professionalism will be a primary problem of consideration. We will have to allow ourselves to bes cate gorized with Harvard or Notre Dame. Take your pick. 'The Thing Comes To Light We are happy to report that after several months of in tensive research and investigation we are now in a position to reveal the identity of "The Thing." Our first idea as to the identity was correct, but we were determined to wait until we were positive before making it public. The great mystery is solved. The truth comes to light . . . "The Thing" is none other than Senator Jo. Mc Carthy. It is very difficult for us to restrain ourselves in the use of words when the subject of this man arises. But then we remembed what Prof. Wallace E. Caldwell once said. Some thing like this: the greatest intolerance in the world is the intolerance of the tolerant man of the intolerant man.

With the 1951 52 season ust around the cor ner, the local athletic staff is making its annual changes in the coaching set-up. As yet, there hasn't been any formal announcement of the important ones, but you can bet mer, Nancy Jordan, Robert Foust, and Sara Thurston. The Educational Committee will meet in the YMCA office with Miss Gay Currie. Members are Rose Karfiol, Azalene South-, erland, Virginia Frost, and Eliza beth Keith. Ray Jeffries and Bob Barrus will meet the Watermelon Festi val Committee in the Library on the second floor of the Y build ing. Members are Connor Ken nedy, Marion Walter, Darwin Bell, Nick Miller, Richard Char mack, Connie Gravitte, Gail Har bour, Charles Woodson, Bob Par lier, Juanita Whitesell, and Lewis Green. your tickets to the Notre Dame game that there will be some changes made. The Carolina soccer team, mediocre in '50, is the first to be affected. Coach Marvjn Al len has been called to active duty by the Navy and will va cate the head post for awhile. Dr. William Peacock has been rumored to have "achieved" this top position. Dr. Peacock is a professor in the physical edu cation department. I guess the books on coaching are getting better all the time. The fellow that should have gotten the job is receiving his release papers some time this summer and Carolina is losing its best coaching prospect. Alan Moore, who made All-America soccer team at Springfield, coached frosh soccer and var sity lacrosse this year. I'm sure that many will agree that "Al" really had what it ' takes and what seems to be sadly lacking in the department these days. Although turning in a not-too-successful record in his two sports, Alan Moore was called the finest coach ever to hit Chapel Hill. . It seems as' though the CAA could put out three or four thou sand dollars to keep this guy here. They're the ones who will be making the profit. Carolina's swimming team will get it's ace mentor back this fall when Ralph Casey, away at Columbia for one year, returns to aid Dick Jamerson in the acquatic sport. The final change of import ance will probably come in la crosse. With Moore being "eased out of the picture," another coach will have to be secured for next year. This will be the third in four seasons. 'Taint exactly healthy for a sport to be making changes every year. There is a strong possibility that the stick sport will be dropped. It took three years to build it and now a bad decision by the Athletic Association could wipe out all the good work done. YWCA MEET The YWCA will hold its first meeting of the summer to or ganize, the "Y" cabinet and to make further plans for the sum mer program this afternoon at 4 o'clock in the YWCA office. Miss Gay Currie is executive of the YWCA and will lead the group in carrying out its sum mer program.
