Plan For Subsidy Athletics Among Colleges Discussed Two Meetings Held For Detailed Discussion Of Plan Favor ed By President Opinions Differing Vote On Tuesday Evening Among Faculty Of University Stands By Frank Graham The University trustees, meeting last week, listened at length to Dr. Frank P. Graham’s proposed plan to completely eliminate any kind of subsidization of athletics among col leges. Immediately after the plan be came public property a great hue and cry arose from alumni organizations of the University all over this state, and in nearby states as well, who saw their hopes for a big-time foot ball team go up in thin air, should the proposed Graham plan go through. The plan, in brief, is designed to put more sport into collegiate athletics and remove the growing tendency to ward professionalism among college athletes. Under the plan, the athlete could receive no special privileges from the University and if he received financial aid in attending the school, it would have to be made a matter of public record. Local alumni seem to be opposed to the plan, but in varying degrees. Some thoroughly favor it; while others are utterly against it. On Tuesday, February 4th, a vote of 80 to 40, a two to one ratio, the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reaffirmed the position it took at a previous meeting January 24 and indorsed in toto--the six-president athletic plan which is j to be presented at the southern con ference meeting in Richmond Mon day. The ballot was’secret, the faculty members merely writing "for” or “against” on a slip of paper. After outlining the plan, which he has sponsored since it was adopted by the national association of state universi ties at their Washington meeting in November, and answering a number of questions raised by the faculty President Frank P. Graham left the meeting and was not present when the alumni members of the athletic council explained their views and the vote was taken. Cash Dividend For Shareholders Was Issued By Jefferson Declaration of a cash dividend of $5 per share and promotion of several officers of the company were among the major developments at the 29th annual meeting of the directors of the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company Monday, a session which was immediately preceded by the an nual meeting of the stockholders, who received from president Julian Price a report alluding to 1935 as “one of' the best years, if not the best year,' in the company’s history from every! viewpoint.” The dividend is payable on the 10,000 shares of stock, a total of‘ $1,000,000 in capital stock, the' amount of the dividend being $50,000. It is payable February 1 to stock holders of record as of January 27. State Sunday School Association Plans To Meet Winston-Salem Officers Of Association Issue Formal Statement To Lead ers Throughout State In a letter to the leaders of Christian education and Sunday school i ■workers of North Carolina, Dr. P. E. I Lindley of High Point College, state i president of the organization and Rev. Shuford Peeler, general secretary, announce the approaching state meet ing as follows: In the name of the North Carolina Sunday School Association, we, the officers, invite leaders of Christian education and Sunday school workers from all parts of the state to attend the state convention, to be held in Winston-Salem from the 17th to the 19th of February, 1936. The last state convention was held in the First Presbyterian church, Greensboro, last January, 1935, and was well attended. Many favorable comments were made on the fine pro gram. The theme chosen for the Winston Salem convention this month is, “Forward Through Cooperation.” Surely no more appropriate theme could be found in these days of powerful disruptive forces when the great need is for world unity and^co operation in winning the world for Christ by teaching the child to be like Christ. The Sunday school must have a distinct share in making the state more Christ-like, for it is seeking to win, teach and train the oncoming generation for the Kingdom of God. To visualise afresh our great task, and gain new inspiration for its pur suit, we bid you welcome to the 1986 state convention in Winston-Salem, and assure you of the cordial warmth of Winston-Salem hospitality. We confidently claim the continued intercessions of all who are interested in the work of Christian education throughout the state on behalf of those on whom shall rest the re sponsibility of preparing for the con vention, that they may be divinely guided in all their ways, so that all that is planned and achieved may be to the greater glory of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You cannot afford to miss the Joy and inspiration. You will gain by seeing the great pageant under the direction of Prof. H. Augustine Smith of Boston. You will want to hear the *3:00 ....
