C, TUESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1953 FOUR PACES TODAY s New Move Made Here For Funds By Tom Parramore Something is being done about furthering the University's devel opment. An organization known as the University Development Council is presently getting up steam to launch a drive for gifts, grants and bequests from UNC faculty and friends. , . . . . The idea for such a council originated with President Gordon Gray, who spoke of its need in his inaugural address. Since that time, a group of North Carolina business men have set up commit tees, acquired offices and begun what will become a barrage of printed matter on the subject. Original chairman of the Devel opment Council was the late James A. Gray, but it is now operating tinder the acting chairmanship of J. Spencer Love of Greensboro, chairman of the board of Burling ton Mills. Purpose of the organization is to "attempt to derive maximum benefit from present and poten tial resources to make them more active,, more serviceable and : to unfold latent possibilities." To fur ther this purpose the Develop ment Council has sent or will send letters and descriptive booklets to University alumni and friends so licitins their aid. In addition to this, a Committee on Alumni An nual Giving will present to all alumni the opportunity of annu ally assisting the University by contributing to an unrestricted fund. Director of tne Council is Charles M. Shaffer. Mr. Shaffer is also director of the General Alumni Association, president of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Alumni Association and former All- Southern halfback at Carolina. One of the main interests of the council at present is to at tempt to keep a central record office for records of gifts, grants and bequests and to act as a co ordinator of all campus founda tions and fund-raising organiza tions. Among projects under con sideration are a student union, new auditorium and a museum. Some of the prominent business men who have volunteered their services to the council are Robert M. Hanes, Winston-Salem, presi dent of the Wachovia Bank and Trust Co.; George Watts Hill, Dur ham, chairman of the board of the Durham Bank and Trust Co. and the Home Security Life Insurance Co. and Holt McPherson, editor of the Shelby Daily Star.

In his first column, Herbert in V Jterviewed over 250 students, ask- ing them who they wanted for the new head football coach. Jim Ta tum, Maryland coach, was the top choice, with George Barclay recent ly elected to the job, coming in second. You can win $2 by submitting a question or as many as you like, to Inquiring Reporter, Box 1080, Chapel Hill, or drop by The Daily Tar Heel office, second floor, Gra ham Memorial. BUDGET REQUESTS Campus organizations desiring to rceeive funds from the stu dent budget for 1953-34 should submit their budget estimates to Secretary-Treasurer Ed Gross, in the student Government office, first floor Graham Memorial, prior to Feb. 1. Leinioir sinomio Student government leaders admitted defeat yesterday when their plans of supplementing check cashing services at Lenoir Hall fell through. The plan which failed was devised to save time in cashing checks 1 CLAIBORN McD. CARR Heart Fund Head Picked Claiborn McD. Carr, of Biltmore, well known executive consultant for industry, has, been appointed state campaign chairman of the 1953 Heart Fund Drive. The appointment was announced yesterday by Dr. Edward S. Orgain of Duke Hospital, president of the North Carolina Heart Association, which has headquarters here. Colonel Lawrence Simpson, U, S. Army retired,: of Charlotte, was named vice-chairman. He was chair man of the Mecklenburg county campaign last year. . Goal of the drjve, in the State, to be held during the month of February, is $125,000. A native of Durham, Chairman Carr retired in 1951 after serving more than 20 years as commercial vice-president of the American Enka Corporation. Prior to becom ing associated with American Enka in 1929 he was president of the Durham Hosiery Mills for five vears. He is a 1905 graduate of the University of North Carolina UNC History Given Space In Magazine The University has received plug throughout the country by way of an illustrated feature article in a nationally circulated magazine Paul Green has written an in teresting history of the oldest state university from the point of op eration, illustrated by a colored man painted by a North Carolina artist which appears- in the. cur rent issue of the Lincoln-Mercury Times, which has a circulation of 300,000. ' The North Carolina playwright, writing of his alma mater, says the University "has poured her gradu ates into the structure and the mak ing of a vital and dynamic dem ocracy in the United States." "She has provided a president and vice-president for the nation, five secretaries of the Navy and many other cabinet members, num erous United States senators and congressmen, ambassadors and gov ernment officials, presidents ana faculty members of other colleges and universities, and 26 governors of the state." His article occupies the four center pages of the 34-page maga zine. Artist for the two-page map of the campus is Corydon Bell, for mer advertising artist of Cleveland, Ohio, who now lives at Sapphire in the mountains of North Carolina where he paints and writes and il lustrates his wife's books for chil dren. Author Green traces the growth of the University from the laying of the cornerstone of Old East, oldest state university dormitory in the nation, in 1733, to roaay when, he says, even while expand ing the Tfllage of Chapel HOI "still remains a typical college town with an attnosphei-e conducive to study and devotion to leanaB&v ules U rociiiYies "tin the cafeteria. It simply was the installation of a rubber stamp approval- service. The clerk at the cigar counter in the lobby indi cated approval with the rubber stamp provided by student gov ernment. Then, cashiers in meal lines accepted checks as cash and without further checking of ID cards. "The first attempt to establish a complete check cashing service in Lenoir Hall failed miserably. We're going to keep trying," de clared President Ham Horton in announcing the defeat. Chief cause of the failure, stu dent leaders say, was the lack of support from the operators of the cigar stand in the lobby. They com plained of having to approve the checks and said it overworked them, according to student govern ment officials. . Commenting on future plans for renewing the improved service, H. R. Ritchie, manager of the Uni versity retail store, declared, "We met with Ham Horton and Stuart Jones and discussed the pros and cons of the situation. We haven't just dropped the thing, but are still trying to work out a way." Stuart Jones, who worked out the original arrangements with George Prillaman, Lenoir Hall Manager, Ritchie, and Archie Chris topher, manager of the Scuttle butt as well as the cigar stand in Lenoir Hall, said that he is still working on the project. 'Mr. Prillaman and I are going to work out our own solution, sep arate from the?. Book Exchange' declared Jones. '. Lenoir has been cashing checks since septemDer, according to Prillaman, so the new service was just a supplement to the old one. The new plan, engineered by Jones, lasted only about two weeks. Checks may still be cashed in Lenoir, as always, as long as they are for $5 or less. Campus Seen Bird Sanctuary?
