Demand To Win, Wade Say
. Durham "Most of the evils in
college athletics result from two
fundamental causes the pres-
sure and demand that a coach
win in order to achieve financial
reward and prestige" and the
"practice of depending upon gate
receipts for the financial support
of the athletic program," South
ern Conference Commissioner
Wallace Wade told the Kiwanis
club here yesterday.
Most cf the abuses in intercol
legiate athletics would disappear,
the former Duke University foot-
-
According to The Daily Tar
Heel, however, Coach Snavely
admitted some Carolina alumni
might be helping the boy.
Then yesterday the same paper
quoted O. K. Cornwell of UNC as
saying Carolina can't and doesn't
help high school athletes.
It's News To Some
Frankly, I thought it was com
mon knowledge colleges assisted
schoolboy athletes before they
entered college if they needed
assistance, that is.
But apparently it's news to a
lot of people, including editorial
writers and some college hired
hands. , '
There are various ways of
helping a schoolboy who needs
a few additional credits' to enter
college. Some private individual
or an alumni group might pay
for his tuition and incidental ex
penses. Too, prep schools have
athletic scholarships.
I don't know it to be a fact but
I wouldn't be surprised if some
of our colleges don't contribute
to the athletic treasuries of prep
schools. Seme of them serve as
athletic incubators for our col
leges. Rule Doesn't Apply
Recent action of the Southern
Conference at its annual Winter
meeting in Richmond throws new
light on the subject of aiding
athletes.
This was the basis for the in
teresting editorials in the News
and Observer and the Morning
Herald.
The conference passed a re
gulation calling for each of the 17
member schools to furnish Com
missioner Wallace Wade an
itemized statement of all aid
received from any source by each
of its athletes. Aid to an athlete
frnnt-in-nirl nr in onv form nT-icii
damental causes were erases.
""I am afraid," he stated, "'that
until these two basic causes are
removed, it is going to be im
possible to correct abuses by re
strictions and eligibilty rules".
....
Wth regard to Southern Con
ference efforts to reduce athletic
schedules and practice sessions,
Wade said that college presidents
and others have emphasized that
cuiv acuviiv inai ; msriinT.s tho
AM.. 1 1 i 1 1 .
proper academic program of stu
dents should be curbed.
Horner - .
the itemized list could be far
more important.
However. I learned from Com
missioner Wade yesterday that
conference rules, as they stand,
wouldn't apply to cases like
Leonard Bullock because he isn't
a conference athlete.
"As I understand our rules, in
their present form, they apply
only lo conference athletes,"
Commissioner Wade said.
He was quick to add that if
abuses of conference rules deve
loped, you could expect the loop
to take prompt action to remedy
the situation.
Not Breaking Rule
1 Commissioner Wade also point
Id out the legislation calling for
the itemized statements wouldn't
become effective until next July
1.
This means Leonard Bullock,
and other athletes in his shoes,
are not breaking any conference
rules when they accept assist
ance from colleges desiring their
services later.
It also means Carolina, or any
other school which might be help
ing an athlete in prep school,
is abiding by present conference
regulations as well as the newly-
adopted legislation. ,
Some may say schools will be
guilty of breaking the spirit of
the new legislation when it goes
into effect July 1, but they still
will be within the law as far as
the conference is concerned un
less it decides to amend the rules.
to cover aid to athletes outside
the institutions, i
The Broyles Case
I don't know how many Leo
nard Bullocks there are going to
prep schools before enrolling in
college, but I feel confident there
are plenty of them.

National Poll Shovs Most College Students
Disappove Of Professors Loyalty Oaths
(ACP) . College students tend
to disapprove of loyalty oaths,
and college graduate students are
overwhelmingly opposed to them,
according to results of the Associ
ated Collegiate Press National
Poll of Student Opinion.
Students in 63 colleges and
universities were asked: In gen
eral, do you approve or disap
prove of having college profes
sors take an oath stating that they
are not members of the Com
munist party. The results:
1. Approve .: 39 per cent
2. Disapprove 47 per cent
One of the finest half backs' in
the Southern Conference last
year was a kid by the name of
Randy Broyles at Washington and
Lee. He attended Summer school
at Durham High three years ago,
at the invitation of Duke, to get
eligible for college. But when
the colleges opened their doors
in the Fall, Broyles packed rr's
bag and went to Washington and
Lee. 1 '
I'm not saying who paid Broyles
expenses during his Summer in
Durham because I don't know.
But I can . tell you Duke was
mighty upset over losing him.
I don't know that Carolina is
paying Bullocks expenses at
Fork Union.
AH I do know is that a source
very close to Bullock told me
Carolina is paying his way and
now that Carl Snavelv has
switched to the T formation, he's
pretty sure he'll cast his lot with
the , Tarheels next September.
But several other schools are
still mighty hot after the football
prospect.
Whether some alumni, the
Carolina .Athletic Association or
the Educational ' Foundation is
paying Bullock's way, or helping
pay his , expenses, our source
didn't say.

retorts to fairly lengthy evplan
ations. A sophomore from a west
coast university, who , disapprov
es, asks, "Is this a democracy?"
A junior coed in Education says
she a approves because loyalty
oaths "protect the students"
from harmful influence and prop
aganda. Another coed in Educa
tion, who opposes the oath, feels
that "college students should be
able to discriminate , between
education and propaganda."
Many students , think the oath
is impractical. A Business senior
puts it this way:, .
"The oath itself is a farce. The
Communists would sign it any
way." But he adds, "Communists
should be kept -; off campus by
other means."
Here are a cross-section of fur
ther comments:
A Law Freshman from an east
ern college: "I think that pro
fessors who are Communists
should not teach American stu
dents." '
A Liberal Arts junior from a
small, midwest school: "Approve
wholeheartedly."
A senior coed in Medicine "Dis

A junior in Speech Education:
"Disapprove, unless it is a

A junior in Speech Education:
"If Communism is present, it
will show up in the classroom
without a loyalty oath."
A freshman coed from the deep
south: "Disapprove . . . not demo-
cratic."
A sophomore girl in Liberal
Arts: "Is this a free country or

shouldn't need an oath, but it
seems necessary." '
A few of the schools polled do
not fit into the general opinion
pattern. A small military college
in the south, for example, is 82
per cent in favor of the loyalty
oath. '
On the other, hand, a universi
ty recently involved in a violent
fight over the loyalty path is 83
per cent against it.
In general, students at , large
schools tend to be' more opposed
to an oath than students at small
schools. This , partially explains
why graduate, students, most of
whom attend larger universities,
are shown by ,the survey to be
overwhelmingly against the oath.
