Hershey, Selective Service director, had in dicated to the House Armed Serv ices Committee that a sharp up turn was in prospect this Spring. But an aide said later that the figure Hershey used was based on old information and the fig ure had changed.

Horner who earlier this week, charged that "Carolina is paying" for a football player's prep school education," hinted yesterday that he "wouldn't be surprised if some of our college's don't contribute to the 'athletic treasuries of prep schools." Some of these prep .schools 'serve . as athletic incubators for our colleges," Horner wrote in his daily sports column. ' Horner ' added, however, that he', had learned from Southern Conference -Commissioner Wal lace Wade that conference rules, as they stand, wpuldn't apply to cases like that of T formation quarterback Leonard Bullock who is allegedly being sent through Fork Union Military Institute by Carolina oi friends and alumni of the University, or etarium, APO Offer Guided Tours Beginning tomorrow the Morehead Planetarium will in stitute a free service of guided - campus tours.

A few hours later, however, a Selective Service spokesman tele phoned news services to say that the figure was outdated and that it had been prepared "on the situation as it existed in Novem ber." The aide said the sharp reduc tion in Korean casualties', largely attributed to current truce nego tiations, had made it likely that the 430,000 figure which Hershey used would be reduced consider ably. He said it might be in the neighborhood of - 275,000 to 300, 000 "barring unforseen things." the Athletic Association, or the Educational Foundation, or at j least snmpnnp whn lik in np ' UNC win football games. ; "As I understand our rules,-in their present form, they apply only to conference athletes," the sports editor quoted Wade as say ing. Horner's complete remarks fol low: Buried deep in our column of briefs from the world of sports last Sunday morning" was an in significant appearing little note about an Ayden youth whose services are very much in de mand as a college football player. Although I didn't place too much importance on the brief at the time, it got us on the front page of the Daily Tar Heel, Chapel Hill student publication, and the Raleigh News and Observer and the Durham Morning Herald wrote editorials concerning the item. Just in case you missed it, here's the brief: "Although Carolina is paying for Leonard Bullock's education at Fork Union Military Institute Duke and several others have their eyes on the 190-pound T formation quarterback. Can't count Maryland out of the race, either. Bullock is an Ayden boy and that's Jim Tatum's former stamping grounds." I merely was letting my readers know here was , an . unheralded lad being sought by several col leges. Too, I thought the. feature of the paragraph was the reference to other .schools trying to lure the boy into their camp despite the fact Carolina was "farming" him out so to speak. But the editorial writers of the News .and Observer and the Morning Herald lashed out at the "paying" angle. A reporter from The Daily Tar Heel wanted to- know, who at Carolina was paying for Bullock's education at Fork Union after athletic Director Bob Fetzer de clined comment on the subject and Coach Carl Snavely ; Jsaid itf was news' to' hini;; j J IV I '. V - by Wali Dear General College students will have more freedom (four elec tive) come September because of changes enacted in the college curriculum late yesterday after noon by the Faculty Council of the University. The changes, results of three years of student, faculty, and ad ministrative committee work, in effect take a good-sized chunk out of General College requirements and give him the "opportunity of choosing four courses previously selected by the Administrative Board of the college in coopera tion with the departments con cerned. To take effect in September, the new curriculum will effect all new students. Present General College students can have their choice of -the new program or the. one they are now taking. Slashed from four , to three courses were English, foreign language, social -science and nat ural science requirements. Re quirements for mathematics or the, classics (two courses) and hygiene XVz course) remain the same. Every student in the University for. the first two years: except pharmacy students and nurses are Grice Named Chapel Hill Man Of Year Bill Grice is Chapel Hill's new Young Man of the .Year. He was awarded ' the title by the- Chapel Hill chapter of the Junior Chamber of Commerce Thursday night. The awarding was combined with the annual Bosses's Night Dinner. : Mayor Ed Lanier made the presentation to Grice, who is coach for the Chapel Hill High School. He has been serving in that capacity for the past sev eral years. The Mayor was introduced by Herb Wentworth, former Jaycee member. J. C. Brame, Durham, a nation al director of the Jaycees and at present a candidate for the State presidency of the organization ex plained the award to .the group. Previous winners of the Young Man of the Year award are Char lie (Choo Choo) Justice and Ken neth Putnam. , Five Key Men were named by the chapter at the dinner meeting also. They were chosen by the members from within the club. They were W. M.

Hank Koon and' Roland Giduz, local and state editor of the Jaycee newsletter. Foreign Language, English Social Science - Minus One members of the General College. The changes are regarded as "a happy medium" by foreign language faculty members in spile of a iwo course cut for business administration stu dents. In the business school only two foreign language cour ses are required. If a student doesn't continue the foreign language first studied by tak ing course 3. the beginning courses 1 and 2 don't count as part of the minimum courses required for graduation. Faculty council action was necessary for final approval of the proposals. The administra tive board of the General Col lege first approved the recom mendations on January 16 and the faculty of the college fol lowed last week. "The studies in the General Col lege are intended to offer ex perience in a sufficient variety of basic and liberal subjects to constitute foundations of general education which is essential to balanced development and intel- Navy Veterans Commissioned f or - enlisted Navy veterans who are interest ed in receiving Retirement, Pro motion, and longevity credit in the Naval Reserve, are invited to contact Robert F.

Dean Corydon P. Spruill point ed out that the new curriculum will make for "more flexibility and freedom of ichoice. It's an improvement." The history of yesterday's ac tion dates back to 1948 when rec ommendations were made by a student curriculum committee. A faculty-student group then con sidered the student report and passed on similar recommenda tions to the General College. In dependent departmental commit tees then, went to work and made more suggestions. In 1950 the School of Business Administration asked for, and was granted, a chance to make proposals The new curriculum is basically the same as the School's proposals. .
