By Athletes The Monogram Club will award one $1200 athletic scholarship to an entering freshman for 1952-53. Last year the club offered two such' scholarships but lack of funds this year has necessitated a reduction, Cecil Milton, scholar ship chairman said - yesterday. Last year's awardee was Smith Jule, freshman swimmer. The other awardee, a baseball player, turned to professional play at short notice and the club did not award the scholarship to a sub stitute. The award was established last year with proceeds from the Blue-White game but Milton said prospects of receiving proceeds from this year's game is doubt ful.

The Senior Complaint Board, as it is. called, is the brain baby of Class President Archie Myatt, who wanted to set up a Board to take care of complaints about all chases of University life which may arise from members of his class. . - . The Board will meet every Thursday to investigate problems and channel them to the proper student, administration and town authorities. "We welcome Seniors who want to appear any Thursday that we meet and bring their complaints before the Board for discussion," Myatt explained. In addition, there will be a special box put in the information office at Graham Memorial where Seniors can drop their pet peeves, he said. The Board will work with the Student Welfare Board, other student organizations and ad ministration offices to bring out into the open any suggestions for improving the college life of the student during his four-year stay at the University, Myatt said. A detailed report of the com plaints brought to the Board and action taken in response to them will be passed down from class to class each year. According to Myatt, it is hoped that by follow ing this procedure old problems will be taken care of and the way Lmade clear for any new distur bances to be remedied.

Some like it cold. That is the conclusion Univer- j sity , off icials reached over the weekend after more than a month cf cold war over hot coffee. Grounds for student complaint had stemmed from the use - of f rozea coffee in University dining halls. The students voiced defi nite preferences for the old-fashioned bean variety- r"the kind Mother vsed to brew." However, another group of coffee drinkess threw cold water into the controversial pot. t At a party in the Morehead Planeta rium ho'noring th three faculties of ' the; I Consolidated , University, the gastronomical 1 hit ! i was the coffee served. Local : asid out-of-town guests questioned the brand used. . ' rv " '. The answer? Frozen cq& -Bewildered daiaurf -:-ES3m mana gers commented that the introduction- of the frozen coffee re sulted from previous success at :wing. WonlB A program calling for federal aid to states for public ele mentary and secondary schools, federal scholarship aid to undergraduate students in higher education, and federal in surance of loans to graduate and undergraduate students was advanced here last night by tor Oscar Ewing. He also advocated a broad program of vocational educa tion, an expanded program of vocational rehabilitation, in creased benefits for old age and survivors insurance, and an ac ceptance of President Truman's plan for national health insurance.--.. - 'Addressing a public meeting at Hill hall under the sponsorship of the Y.M.C.A., Ewing emphasized that he considers these proposals "business of the highest priority.' He expressed confidence such programs "can be worked "out amicably if we tackle them with goodwill and understanding." Ewing was introduced by Chan cellor Robert B. House. He also addressed the Faculty Club of the University at its lun cheon session yesterday, when he was presented by Dean E. G. McGavran of the School of Pub lic Health and conferred informal ly with faculty members at a session in Graham Memorial yes terday afternoon. Answering some critics of his proposals for education, - Ewing said, "We do not want the fed eral government to control or dominate the '- schools ... Some say the program will cost too much money. Obviously we can not afford to bankrupt our econ omy, but we can put the most ur gent needs first and postpone the less urgent." Ewing stressed the point that the basic problem of manpower today "goes far beyond the initial question of- numbers--of how many men we should draw into our armed forces, or how many men and . women should move from one industry to some other more Ivital industry. "For we need more than bod ies to use the military term. We need people equipped to meet the Planetarium parties. The innovation met with other than student disapproval. Frank West, manager of the Monogram Club dining room and restaura teur, of over 18 years experience, didn't like the coffee either. He said, "I prefer the old bean, my self." Ten students, interviewed at random yesterday, generally con curred that a good cup of coffee is hard to find these days,- es pecially on this campus. One lone dissenter remarked, "I don't care what it tastes like, as long as it's hot." A survey of leading Chapel Hill restaurants revealed that the University is the only commercial consumer that put the freeze on coffee. University dinine" hall officials have finally given in to student opinion. After a 30-day, taste test, they've decided to go back to the old grind.

We need people whose minds have been made keen and inquir ing by modern, methods of educa tion. We need people who can understand their jobs. "To me this means that our general and continuing need for improvement of our educational system, essential in a time of peace and " comfort, becomes a matter of life-or-death in time of emergency. - "And, in the long run, we must also remember that only by main taining and improving our stand ards of . education can we pro duce not only the soldiers of today but also the scientists, the nroduetivp citizen.? of tomorrow " Quoting the 1947 report of the Compton Commission, , appointed by the President to look into the military needs of this country, Ewing said that " 'Want,' ill health, ignorance, race prejudices, and slothful citizenship are ene mies rvf AmpriM 95 tmlv'aa urora Hitler and Mussolini and To jo "If those words were valid- in 1947. how much more so are thev in 19521" Ewing said in his Faculty Club address that in view of the na tional emergency, improved heal th standards "have become a mat ter of utmost urgency; people compares favorably- with that of any other large , nation in the world.
