U.H.C: '. tlBSARY SERIALS DEPT. BOX 870 CHAPEL HILL. N.u. Ml n n il D O M PO.CTC GREENSBORO, (AP) The Atlantic Coast Conference tabled the touchy grants-in-aid to athletes question Friday in an executive session. The executive session was called to discuss a point raised by the University of North Carolina. North Carolina requesttd an interpretation by the conference on whether the length of time for an athlete to be ineligible may be determined by the commissioner. Specifically, the case in question was Lhat of Don Coker, former backfield star at Reidsville High School, now a freshman at North Carolina. Several months ago Coker was ruled ineligible for ath letics at North Carolina by the ACC executive committee. That ruling backed up an earlier decision by Commissioner Weaver that Coker was ineligible for athletics at Chapel Ilill because he received aid beyond that allowed by conference rules. Weaver said the aid took the form of a country ciub member ship at Reidsville, which the commissioner said "was paid for by North Carolina alumni and friends." Conference rules state simply that an athlete receiving illegal aid shall be declared ineligible for athletics at the institution in- volved. HOUSE On the matter of grants-in-aid, retiring Chancellor Robert; House of the University of North Carolina, making what he Called,' a farewell address, urged the conference to "get back to the con sideration of the welfare of the boys concerned." He said the ACC; has not "moved as a conference one inch" beyond the stage it had; reached when it broke from the Southern Conference three years ago. ' , . ; Speaking of wht he called "the recruiting racket ell ever the United States," House said "we are getting inte trouble and we stink. Not one of Us has a reason to look down his nose- t another one." .- : He urged the conference to "get back to the level of your group prestige," or throw its rules and regulations into the waste basket. The conference television committee was supported by the group as a whole in its recommendations that the NCAA's plan for televising football next year, still to be announced, be endorsed by th$ ACC. The request of a television , station to broadcast the final game of the conference basketball tournament March 9 in Raleigh was tabled in favor of further study. CHAMPION Beginning with next football season, the conference will send its champion to play in the Orange Bowl game at Miami.. Up to now, the conference rule has called for "the most representative team," not necessarily the champion, to got the bowl bid. However, starting next season, all teams will play at least six conference games making the eventual first-place finisher a "representative champion." In the event of a tie, the football committee will de cide the issue. 'The financial report showed total income for the year ending Nov. 30 of more thau $85,000. Over $56,000 was realized on the basketball tournament. Expenses were just under S70.000. leaving a net profit for the year of slightly more than $15,000..

LVII, NO. 64 FROSH, SOPHS STILL l w Paul Green Says New Play Treats Present Problems "Subject Timely Now7 Author Says At Tea Paul Green, Chapel Hill play wright, yesterday said that his latest symphonic outdoor drama, "Wilderness Road," deals with the same sort of problems as those now facing ; the American people, especially the South. Green, speaking at the Bull's Head Bookshop teal also said that the drama "tells the story of the struggle , of idealism . against .the . ever present' forces of ignorance, prejudice and political narrow ness 'of 100 years ago." "And the subject is still timely," he added. Green explained that the hero of the play is a young teacher by the "somewhat symbolic name of John Freeman,' who founded a school in the mountains of Ken tucky in the year 1858. , Freeman sets about teaching truth as he sees it the truth of American democracy, of the New Testament and the Christian relig ion. But during the Civil War, tempers are heated and slavery soon involves him in trouble. His neighbors burn down his school and beat him, but he will not raise his hand against them. He rebuilds his school and then Kentucky is overrun by the South ern forces He finally picks up his gun and fights, leading his men against former friends and neigh bors commanded by his own broth er. Freeman is killed and his Rain Tomorrow t i flil I- ImI win end balmy SorinaWeather Showers tomorrow will bring to an end the week of sunny sum mer weather that Carolina ladies, gentlemen and dogs have beenen joying. The weather man at Raleigh-Durham Airport reports that yester day's high of 78 is the warmest the area has been on that date since 1951. Exactly how long the mild weather will last is still cloudy. The weather man de scribed the condition as not being a "clear-cut situation." He described the extended spell of sunnv weather as being due to a "rather stubborn high press ure system over the Southeast." This system is stronger than any of those blowing ln from the Northwest and has prevented them from entering the area. These frustrated systems are partially re sponsible for the cold weather which the rest of the country is having. Last night's low of 54 will give way to another balmy day, partly cloudy and warm with a high in the low 70's.
