Forest UNC Football Scholarships Still Mystery Sports Editor Wade Terms His Source As 'Confidential' Befogged under a haze of official silence and misinformation, the alleged movement for establishment of 50 football scholarships for the Universi ty remains hidden under a cloud of di verse rumors. With "high" sources vying for the position of most reticent, little fact has seeped through. Jake Wade, Sports Editor of the Charlotte Observer and Carolina alumnus, first sprang the story that an effort to raise $50,000 for athletic scholarships was under way. In a telegram to the Daily Tar Heel, Wade said: "Source confidential. Something definitely cooking if they can get it through." An article in the Charlotte Observ er Thursday morning asserted that an alumni meetinsr will be held in the Carolina Inn tomorrow at 4 o'clock to discuss the plan. No reservations have been made at the Inn. When questioned, Maryon Saunders, president of the Alumni Association, said "I know nothing of the movement. All I know is what I read in the pa pers." Several officials expressed the opin ion that Wade was merely "making news" when he published this story. All officials in the Administration claimed ignorance of the plan.

Maryon Saunders, executive di rector oi tne Alumni association re marked yesterday that once the stu dents took the initiative, "the idea might become exceedingly appealing to the alumni."
