Mo Aid Given
By UN C, Says
O.K. Cornwell
The University of North Caro
lina can't and doesn't help high
school athletes complete their ed
ucation -so they can come here,
Oliver K. Cornwell, secretary to
a Southern Conference constitu
tional committee and director of
physical education said yester
day. '
Cornwell, pointed out that, be
cause of a new conference ruling,
member institutions administer
all grants to athletes who are en
rolled or who are about to enter.
A similar National Intercolleg
iate Athletic Association rule
says, "All aid to athletes must
be administered by institutions,"
Cornwall said. Violations of these
rules renders a boy ineligible.
Cornwall's announcement fol
lowed a story in Wednesday's
paper in which Carolina alumni
were reported to be aiding a
Fork Union Military Academy
T-f ormation quarterback complete
his education. The player, Leo
nard Bullock of Ayden, is plan
ning to . come here, although
several other schools, among
them Duke arid Maryland, are
interested in securing Bullock for
their teams.
The conference rule does not
apply to high schools, Cornwell
said. "We (the University) only
have control over students in
college or entering here. I don't
know about other schools," but
as far as UNC at Chapel Hill
goes, "we don't know of such
a practice existing.";
A3 secretary to the faculty
athletic committee, Cornwell
served as chairman of a con
ference committee that rewrote
the constitution and by-laws at
the December meeting in Rich
mond.

iscrsniination

by David Buckner
Segregation received a b'tter
sting here this week as the oldest
literary and debating society in
the South overwhelmingly passed
a bill calling for the repeal of all
North Carolina segregation laws,
after giving J. Kenneth Lee, Ne
gro law student, a standing ova
tion and the subsequent award
of "speaker of the evening."
Inx a speech described as "hy
far the best" of those heard, Lee
told the "Dialectic Senate Tuesday,
night that Negroes are not ask
ing for favors or handouts, but
for an opportunity to pull them
selves up from their present status
and suffer or profit, from their
efforts. - ,
He refuted most of the pro
segregation arguments general
ly based upon social aspects in
volved in the repeal of such laws
which were advanced by op
ponents of the bill.
There would still be voluntary
segregation, Lee said, but not the
absolute legal and social segre
gation of today. -
Repeal of the discriminatory .
laws would restore for all men
the democratic privilege of choos
ing their associates upon the basis
of the individual merits, without
limitations due to race, color,
creed or national origins, he as
serted. In short, repeal would give one "
the opportunity to choose his own '
friends without restrictions, Lee
stated. -
The Senators rose to applaud -the
Greensboro Negro as he re-
turned to his seat -in the verier-;
able debating hall, lined with por
traits of distinguished former" Di -members,
many of them early
presidents of the University,
which is often described as "the
cultural center of the . South." - -
Visibly moved, the Senators
passed the anti-segregation bill
by a staggering 17 to 4- vote.
Afterwards several members,"
originally' opponents of the bill,"
stated that their decision to vote
against segregation came only af
ter they heard Lee's speech. "And
the oppressed shall lead . the
blind," one was heard to remark.
The resolution "commending '
Lee for his address was presented
by retired Di president John
Schnorrenberg of " Asheville.- It
was adopted by acclamatiorir
Introduced by Senator Jid
Thompson, of Decatur, Ga., the
bill avowed that "the bases of
the 'American way of life' is a
conscious recognition of a basic
moral principle; all men are cre
ated equal as well as free."
It placed the Senate on record
as opposed .to "any act of dis .
crimination directed at a fellow
human being because of such ir
relevant and superficial factors aV
his race, color, creed or economie
status," and called for the repeal
of all North ima segregation
laws. '
