'No Prostitution Hobbs Backs Sports "I don't think an educational institution is worthy of being called such without an adequate sports program," said Dr. A. W. Hobbs, chairman of the faculty committee on athletics, in a panel discussion on grants-in-aid to athletes sponsored by the Freshman Fellowship 'this week. "To say that the University of North Carolina is prostituting athletics is absurd neither the University nor the faculty has ever sought prestige in sports." Dr. Hobbs voiced this opinion after Bob Young, moderator for the panel, read several Daily Tar Heel editorials opposing big time athletics at UNC. Tom Peacock, sports editor of The Daily Tar Heel pointed out what he called two misinterpre tations of facts expressed by the editorials: (1) "an average of C being required by all students partici pating in extra-curriclar activi ties while athletes need only have a C average on half of 24 semester hours of work taken during the previous year. "Such is not the case," Pea cock said, 'Tor instance, the editor of The Daily Tar Heel is the only man on the staff who has to have a C average. MOSCOW (P) United States Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen has called personally on Foreign Mini ster V. M. Molotov and informed him of the "seriousness and im portance" of President Eisenhow er's atomic pool speech, it was made known yesterday.

Marshall said yesterday in accepting the Nobel Peace Prize that the world now needs "a spiritual regeneration which would re-establish a feeling of good faith among men generally."

PANMUNJOM (JP) Allied efforts to woo home war prisoners who stayed with the communists including 22 Americans and one Briton were treatened yesterday by Red slowdown tactics which forced suspension of interviews with South Korean POW's. Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya, Indian chairman of the Neutral Nations Repatria tion Commission, said 30 ROK pri- soners would be called up. for in terviews tomorrow.

Dr. Claiborne Jones, general college advisor, told the panel that the argument of finances is beside the point, "the University does not promote a sports pro gram designed to make a pro fit the real issue," Dr. Jones said, "is the University's moral responsibility as an educational institution and as a state agency. "Our first duty is to tend to the primary job of education and as a state agency stay out of any program which is resigned for or yields a profit." Allan Zelon, graduate student in anthropology, asked the'panel "what is the function of a sports program which offers scholar ships in some instances of as high as $1,000, if it is not to at tract good athletes and thereby gain prestige by winning sports events" Dr. Hobbs answered, "Our pro gram is designed to give stu dents a choice, to participate in any sport any student who wishes to partake in this pro gram may do so. The program is a necessary part of an educa tional institution. It it is to be well-rounded." Zelon then asked. "How many really good athletes come here on their own without scholar ships?" "What if they do have scholarships," Dr. Hobbs answ ered, "They are still students."

Shaw Protests YRCs Stand On Race Issue RALEIGH, Dec. 11 (JP) The student council at Shaw University has entered a protest to the segre gation stand taken last Saturday by the College Council of North Carolina Young Republicans. Meeting at Pfeiffer College, the Young Republicans' council adopt ed a resolution critical of Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell "for at tempting to coerce" the U. S. Stf preme Court on the school segre gation issue. The Young Republi cans also endorsed the "free, equal but segregated school program" of North Carolina and took the posi tion that "the improvement of re lations between minority groups by evolution rather Hhan by legislative or judicial action can be mucn more satisfactory and lasting in its nature." The Shaw University council re plied that "this evolutionary idea has been in motion since 1865 with out solving the issue of segregated schools." The crux, said the student coun cil, "is not whether or not evoliF tion is satisfactory, or lasting to any degre but whether or not, as citizens of the United States, Ne groes are due full and complete equality before the law." Alumni Listed In University's New Directory For the first time since 1924 the University is publishing a new alumni address book.

C. i taw1 "r4M' Baptist Students Invited To Appear At Hearing Carolina's Baptist students next month will have a chance to sound off before a statewide committee investigating North Carolina's Bap tist Student Unions. Criticism of the Baptist college youth organizations has prompted the sDecial investigation. The Rev. J. C. Herrin, Baptist student chaplain here, said he had received an "invitation to at tend the meeting of the commit tee." The meeting is in Raleigh on Jan. 5. i "I've been asked to bring along any students who would like to go," Herrin said. Students have also been invited to write Dr. Perry Crouch at the First Baptist Church in Asheville. Crouch is chairman of the com mittee. A Baptist leader in Ahoskie, Mrs. Gordon Maddrey, reported yesterday that the investigating group plans to all witnesses at a meeting Jan. 4-6. Evidently, Caro lina was invited only for the one day, Jan. 5. The Baptist student groups cariie in for criticism at a state conven tion in Greensboro last month for objecting to the last minute re moval of a speaker from their own convention. The speaker, Dr. Nels Ferre, Vanderbilt University profess-or, was booted off the student con vention program at the last min ute. His hasty removal wasn't ex- , , . plained at the time. Some students believe that the ousting grew from attacks on Dr. Ferre by Rev. Sam uel W. H. Johnson, pastor of the Nash Gounty Church. The Nash County pastor charged that Dr. Ferre has questioned the Virgin Birth of Christ. Shortly afterwards, Dr. Ferre was told that he no longer had the invitation tospeak at the student conven tion. The students, including a large group from Carolina, protested, saying that they had the right to hear any scheduled speaker. Subsequently, the special com mittee was directed "to conduct a fair and full study of the union as to program, purpose, and per sonnel." U. S.

Returning from North Carolina after a fruitless search for Raymond Carney, Sheriff John Hanna of Florence County signed a war rant against the 6-foot, 2-inch Negro and issued "wanted" cir culars on him.
