FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1951 NUMBER 50 i Against p Editorial CoOG Ed thing ' 'Snaveiy' The Rev. T. M. Hesburgh otre Daniel VIce-Prexy :.- To Visit -J The Rev. .Theodore M. Hes burgh, C. S. C., executive vice president and head of the Depart ment of Religion of the Univer sity of Notre Dame will deliver a sermon in Hill Hall Sunday night, at 8:30 o'clock. His subject will be "The True Meaning of Peace." Father Hesburgh's address is being sponsored by the Univer sity Sermons Committee of the YWCA. Music will be furnished by the combined Glee Clubs of the University. A native of Syracuse, N. Y., Father Hesburgh received the bachelor of philosophy degree at the Gregorian University in Rome, Italy, in 1939; the S. T. L. degree at the Catholic University of America in 1944, and the doc-tor-of sacred theology at Catholic University in 1945. He was or dained to the Catholic priesthood in 1943; in Sacred Heart Church at the University of Notre Dame where he has taught religion since 1945. During World War II, Father Hesburgh served as Auxiliary. Army Chaplain at FoftMyer, Va., and from 1943 to 1945 was chap lain at the Federal Reform School in Washington, D. C. He was named head of the De partment of Religion at Notre Dame in 1948 and has been exe cutive vice-president since 1949. His duties as executive vice-president incude the chairmanship of the Board in Control of Athletics. In his teaching Father . Hes burgh has specialized in the fields of Christian marriage, Catholic action, and Catholic theology in the modern period of the Church. His - books include "Theology of . Catholic Action," : "God and the World of Man," two volumes of Dogma Notes, and 'a series of 23 contact booklets dur ing the war. He is a member of the National Council on Marriage and the Family. Bilpuch played defensive end for the UNCI fonthnll ton for several years under Carl Snaveiy. He is now a Morehead Scholar, doing graduate work in Physics. Editor : In view of -the widespread comments concerning Coach Snaveiy and members of the coaching staff and the football squad of 1951, there are a few personal observations to be made. . ,. ' ; ; First: In four short years after the end of the war, Coach Snaveiy produced teams, which won two Southern Con . f erence championships and participated in three post-season bowl games. The enthusiasm .and notmlar armroval ac corded him at that time was unprecedented in the history of University of North Carolina athletics. , Second: As a result of the success of the team in recent years, the schedule has become increasingly difficult, cul- -minating in a series of games for the current year which would challenge the best team in the country. .', Third: Throughout the entire period of post-war big-time football at Chapel Hill, the coaching has been of a high quality. The same coaching which is now being criticized , i so unfairly in the press was heralded on all sides, as little as ! two years ago, for its finesse, its thoroughness, and its -j clever execution. 7 I ' Fourth: The quality of the coaching has not changed ma terially. Rather, the source of our present difficulties, may be traced to other factors. : - 1. Carolina, on the average, takes in less than half the number of freshmen who are prospective footbali players than do other colleges of comparable size and prominence in this and neighboring conferences. (For example: In 1950, one university in this area took in over 90 boys, and we took in 23.) In 1951, this same university took in 90 players, we took in 20! r - 2. High scholastic standards account, in large part, for the small number of players admitted. A player must meet all requirements for admission and must, maintain a "C" average to be eligible for play. (Many of the out standing players on the teams of the opposition this year were refused admission here due to inability to meet scho lastic requirements.) 3. Injuries whittle down the small number of players and serve to cripple any attack which the coaching staff might work out. For example: Bob White, siated to see a lot of action, was sidelined: Bill Kuhn, one of our best defensive tackles, has been playing with the handicap of an injured shoulder; Doug Bruton, who was one of our best line-backers, hag been sidelined with a broken arm;" Chal Port, a very good defensive halfback, missed five weeks of practice at the beginning of the season due to appendicitis; Bud Carson has been playing with a sprained ankle, a very bad 'handicap for a safety man. There are others also on the injured list. 4. These injuries together with the lack of depth on the squad, have made it necessary to experiment in an effort to get a workable combination. (Thus, in the Virginia game, of the 32 men who played, 10 were freshmen, and 10 were sophomores.) 5. While the boys have, outstanding records behind them, most of them have not yet gained enough experence to play on even terms with the best teams in the country. Carl Snaveiy is the same person today as he was five years ago. His coaching today is as good as it was in 1948 when Carolina did not drop a regular game and went to the Sugar Bowl. He is a firm teacher when you are on the squad. He is your friend when you need him. He has given much of his time and effort in aiding members of the squad, from the first string to the fourth, in finding jobs when Wr Chanel Hill. He is the exponent of a great sport, and. he needs only a little time and cooperation in rebuild-; ing a great team. - It is not in keeping with sportsmanship, either on or off T-iri 4r.

Bilpuch Fifteen Girls Are Chosen; ForGbntest Fifteen lovely coeds are now anxiously awaiting' tomorrow night's Coronation Ball in Wool len Gym as the result of last night'sYack Beauty Queen con test in Memorial Hall before nearly 1000 students, almost en tirely males.

For merly, photographs of entries have been sent to Hollywood ex perts for selection. Editor Sue Lindsay haa in structed the judges to choose strictly on beauty" using their own criterior as a guide. Heavens Will Be By Rally Bonfire Lighted Tonight ' : Fire wil be the general order of the night as students rally round a huge bonfire on Intra-r mural Field shortly after 7:30 to night to get pepped up for the Notre Dame game tomorrow. f Because of the bad weather of the last few days, the scheduled torchlight parade preceeding the bonfire will not be held, Duf field Smith, University Club president, said last night. Instead, the rally will start in front of Woollen Gym. South Building bells will ring shortly before the rally starts. : we "If the weather is clear, want everyone to help bring fire wood to the bonfire tonight. This one should be the biggest that has ever been held on the Carolina campus," Smith said. ; In case of bad weather the rally will be held at Memorial Hall. "Nose" Jones, new head cheer leader, speculated, "We want everybody to show up for this one. If students aren't there, we'll see to it that none are able to go to the Y Court anymore for the rest of the quarter."

The legislature's endorsement came in a reworKea version or the original hazing bill introduc ed by Ben James. The James bill, which was "; credited by IFC spokesmen with touching ofJ: the hazing squabble, was changed by its author into a commenda tion of the IFC's action. The ori ginal bill, calling for an immedi ate end to hazing, was tabled un til the IFC took action. The James bill was further changed by a substitute motion by Bob Gorham, UP. Gorham's motion, in the words of one legis lator, was "simply a watered - do wh version of James'bill." The bill introduced last week by Sheldon Plager, UP, providing for public trials in the student courts was delayed in committee . . . not enough members of the Legislature's Ways and Means Committee showed up for the committee's meeting to report on the bill. The Ways and Means Committee, which has to report on the prospective measure be fore it can be acted on by the leg islators, cannot act unless a quor um of its members is present at the meeting. Those absent from the Ways and Means committee meeting were Paul Barnes, Jim Thorp, Dick Pillsbury, Julian Mason, Henry Lowett, and John Bushall. A bill introduced last week by Bob Pace, SP, calling for a change in voting districts was left in committee. The bill would estab lish separate districts for town men and fraternities. The bill would place all fraternities in Chapel Hill in one district, and also set up one district for town men. The bill would do the same in respect to sororities and town women, creating "separate dis tricts for each. This bill was termed by several UP legislators as "ridiculous". Pace, however, expressed confi dence last night that the bill would pass.
