Paradox Seen In Scheduling Miami
Gamey Cal led Departure
If the University is sincere in
its attempts to remove some of the
emphasis from collegiate football,
its policy makers and athletic
schedule makers should get to
gether. That's the opinion of several
critics of the University's football
schedule for 1952 which gives the
"big money" team of the Univer
sity of Miami the place of honor
as the last game of the season. :
Most severe of the UNC foot
ball critics, a group which not
only includes several of the larger
state papers but also irate alumni
of Clemson and the University of
Maryland, is Jonathan Daniels'
Raleigh News and Observer, long
an advocate of deemphasis of col
legiate football.
In a recent editorial blast the
Observer charged that "In sche
duling the gane at Miami for next
November 29, Carolina has ac
cepted an aspect of commerciali
zation, one upon which the insti
tution has frowned longer than it
has looked with disfavor; upon
bowl games."
"If there is any reason except
the money for scheduling the
game - at all to say nothing of
giving it the place of honor on the
schedule that reason is not ap
parent," the editorial asserted.
The game will' be played at
night, a practice which the Uni
versity has long avoided, and in
the famous Orange Bowl stadium
of Miami Florida. It wiU mark
the second meeting of the two
teams. Carolina, in its only other
contest with the Miami Hurri-
mtim handed them a 21-0 defeat
in 1946.
.Announcement of the schedul
ing of the game with Miami came
less than a week after the Unir
versity had spearheaded a South
ern Conference football schedule
boycott upon Clemson College and
the University of Maryland for
accepting invitations to play New
Year's day bowl games without
permission of the conference.
Miami was Clemson's opponent in

the. Gator bowl and Tennessee,
which also appears on the 1952
UNC schedule, met Maryland in
the Sugar Bowl. ' - -
The. Miami game will replace
Duke as the final game of the
season; Duke replaced Virginia
in the honor spot last year to
break a traditional rivalry of al
most fifty, years. UNC . schedule
makers then argued that the rival
ry with Duke had become more
exciting and attracted wider in
terest than the older competition
with the University of Virginia.
In order to make the change last
year, Carolina played Virginia at
Charlottesville for the second year
in a row.
Also commenting on the incon
sistencies shown in the scheduling
of Miami was the . Greensboro
Daily News, which said, "Caro-

A statement from Bridges,
prompted by officials of the school
who feared that E.C.C. might be
unduly criticized since the schools
actually involved have not been
named, declared that he had
"found nothing amiss at East Car
olina and no concessions made to
athletes." --
He still declined to say which
colleges are involved, but said
this would be made public at the

From
Policy
Una's President Gordon Gray
called Southern Conference col
lege presidents to meet September
28. They advocated de-emphasis
. - (then Gray) along with
Duke's Dr. Hollis Edens, led the
way in the. Southern Conference
fight to ban bowl games and
throw out Clemson and Maryland,
based on the September 28 action
which was r etroactivel Carolina
had been to three bowl games in
four Justice Era years. Duke had
long been a bowl advocate, play
ing in two Kose Bowl games and
one Sugar Bowl. :
"While these college presidents,
championed football deemphasis,
Garolina scheduled the University
of Miami, long considered a "pro"
college team, and Duke lined up
three strong intersectional "gates"
for 1952."
This was accomplished; he said,
either by - granting , "scholarships!'
for which the school was not re
imbursed, or by ; writing off the
charges at the end of the year.;
This he labled a "misuse" of
State funds and said his study
was intended to develop a State
wide policy.
Aside from State, Carolina and
East Carolina, State-supported
schools which take part in ath
letics are Elizabeth City State
Teachers, Fayetteville -State

at Durham, Winston-Salem State

Tryouts for the Playmakers
lavish musical production, "Spring
for Sure," will be held next
Tuesday at 4 and 7:0 p.m. in
Memorial hall. All students,
faculty- and. their wives are
eligible to audition.
John W.. Parker will direct,
and plans to give . the Catherine
McDonald-Wilton -Mason musical!
comedy a colorful and lively
staging. To do , this, he must have
a cast of 22 people, most of whom
will need to sing and dance. The
songs afe not difficult, and Parker
will definitely consider untrained
voices. .
"Spring for Sure" will be given
three times at the University,
February 1-3, and then be taken
on two separate tours of 12 days
each. The first tour goes out
February 4-16, and will play en
gagements within the state. The
second tour, March 24-April 5, will
tour several southeastern states,
including South Carolina, Georgia,
Tennessee, and Kentucky. Those
chosen for the cast should be
available for these trips.

out. With both national and local
organizations scraping the bottom
of the money barrel, the drive
must succeed, Smith stated. Mem
bers of the national foundation
have high hopes that a cure for
the disease and even a. preventive
for it, can be discovered - within
the next four or five years. A
part of the funds collected in the
drive will go into this research
The rest will go for treatment of
those stricken with the dread di
sease. , A quota ; of $9,000 has been set
for Chapel ' Hill, i but the ; Univer
sity quota will be separate. Uni
versities throughout the .nation
are conducting separate fund
drives in cooperation with ; the
communities in which they, are
located. County Chairman Smith
pointed out that the" local chapter

used by dormitory men for their
private rooms and that leather
chairs have been cut up.
Two chairs are reported missing
while one chair was found with a
large gash cut in . the leather in
one of the lower quad social
rooms.
Bob Creed, president of the In
terdormitory Council, will ask
the IDC to set up regulations for
bidding such misuse at the Council
meeting Monday.
, There are social rooms in Joy

and lower quad dormitories now.
The first one, opened in Connor
(formerly "B" Dorm) last May
after months of planning by tha
council, other student government
groups, and the University admin
istration. The furniture and other
equipment was installed at con
siderable expense by the Univer
sity.
Recent improvements in the
dormitories are lavatory door
stops installed over the holidays
to keep out noise. The stops were
installed at the request of students
who complained to Dean Fred
Weaver, Bennett said. New mat
tresses and beds have been put
in several dorms and more will
be placed in other dormitories in
the near future, Bennett said.

dread disease has struck. This:
help has included the purchase of
two J wheel chairs for wives of
University students and the pay
ment of hospital bills and doctor's
fees.
The national . March of Dimes
has poured more money into
North Carolina in recent years
than the state has ever furnished
to the national organization. Epi
demics since 1945, centered not
ably in the Hickory and Greens
boro areas, have helped to exhaust
the national fund.
Smith said that funds collected
in last year's campaign in this
county did not suffice to care for
local patients. Loans from the
national foundation have been
made but now both groups are
almost broke.
