Queen, executive secretary of the YM-YWCA. In announcing the scholarship, Director of Student Aid William M. Geer noted it will be awarded to the outstanding student of the Upward Bound Program who enters the University in the fall of 1969. It is designated as the Anne E. Queen Upward Bound Scholarship. The donor said, "This contribution is made by way of tribute to Anne Queen's constancy in promoting so much that is good, humane, liberating and noble in the life of the University, and especially in recognition of the importance of her initiatives in establishing and continuing her support in maintaining Upward Bound at Chapel Hill." The scholarship will be used to defray the winnei's living and incidental expenses and will be matched by University funds to cover tuition, fees and room rent. Chancellor J.

"The University is constantly seeking financial resources to enable meritorious, needy students to attend the University. It is especially appropriate that this particular scholarship will be named the Anne Queen Scholarship in View -of" Miss Queen's leading role in the establishment of the Upward Bound Program in' Chapel Hill." Education Dean Norton Beach, who has the responsibility for the administration of the Upward Bound Program, noted, "The new Anne E. Queen Upward Bound Scholarship will certainly make a splendid contribution to the educational future of one of the Upward Bound students who is interested in studying here during the 1969-70 academic year. "We hope this is a forerunner of a number of such scholarships which will make it possible for a larger number of our Upward Bound students to join the UNC student body. understanding by involving students who have never before participated in ISC activities, in addition to the core of people who always participate in this sort of thing."

I have come to The Upward Bound Program was initiated by the University in the summer of 1966 under the auspices ofthe YM-TWCA; Its purpose is to enrich the education of ,120 students from Orange and Chatham Counties by a summer school, a winter tutorial and guidance program.

What is it? It's the UNC Residence College system. Ehringhaus, Granville, Hinton James, King, Morehead, Morrison and Scott Colleges trigger much of the social, academic and service activity on the UNC campus. They run radio stations, sponsor community ' projects, like Granville's Project Blue Blood last year, and stage social events like Morrison's upcoming Mighty Mo weekend. Residence colleges establish classes, set up movie and speaker series and establish tutorial programs. A couple of them, Scott and Granville, have their male and female counterparts right next i door. Some, like the James and Joyner-Alderman combination are a full campus apart.

The score of the basketball game was 100-82, but it could have been much worse. In typical nice guy Dean Smith fashion, the UNC coach pulled his starters w hen the Tar Heels were threatening . a massacre, and the Seminoles scored freely in the closing minutes to narrow the rather wide gap. The outcome was decided midway in the first half as Carolina was clearly the superior team. The seminoles were further hurt by the abscence of center Dave Cowens, their top scorer and rebounder, who was benched with three fouls with 10:41 left in the first half. When Cowens left the game, Smith put in his skyscraper lineup with a front line averaging 6-9 and the Seminoles were quickly out of the contest. With only one over 6-7 to compete with the Carolina giants, FSU was impotent underneath. The Tar Heels made wise use of their height edge and smoothly shot over the reaching Seminoles, hitting 52.6 per cent from the fiold. ..

DTH Staff Piioto by Tom Schnabel POINTER ON PERCHING PIGEONS. Mary Pennington produced peanuts from her purse and was promptly pounced by pigeons pecking her peanut pack. Pennington pointed up the problem of being a pretty perch for passing poultry. Wiii9 reserve Lee Dedmon came in at forward, took over the floor show. Scott, who at 6-5 had his opponents staring at his belt-buckle, started three fast breaks which sent FSU reeling. Most of his steals were from sophomore guard Skip Young, who was continuously frustrated by Scott and the UNC defense of double-teaming the ball. Young had 12 first-half turnovers, and the Tar Heels converted them into points. For a while, Carolina was running the break so much it looked like the dash events of an indoor track meet. The running game was not used so freely in the second half, mainly because Carolina didn't neet it. FSU rarely got within 20 Government Committee To Study Constitution The Student Government of UNC is getting involved in state politics by setting up an Action Government Committee to study six proposed amendments to the North Carolina Constitution. Those involved in the committee will investigate the amendments, including a proposal to allow a second term for governor and . lieutenant . governor, and. then, conduct a lobbying campaign through letters to friends and newspapers, speaking to legislators in the General Assembly and building support in home communities. The proposal for this committee was made by Harry Wilson in the Student Legislature and approved by Student Body President Ken Day on Jan. 15. Wilson says the committee "would hopefully spread to other colleges and universities across the state." "This statewide basis would attract more attention and support for the committee's position." The Action Government Committee supports the proposed changes in general. Wilson points out, "Our present constitution, points, and UNC shot mostly from inside. The Tar Heels hit 63.2 per cent from the floor in the second half. With Bill Bunting, Rusty Clark, and Lee Dedmon, none under 6-8, doing the shooting, Carolina was able to score from close in. Bunting got 14 second period points for a total of 22, one behind Scott's game high of 23. Dedmon scored 15, Clark 13, and Dick Grubar had 10. The Seminoles meanwhile, trying to salvage respect for American Indians, who haven't done well lately, since their smashing win over Custer, divided up their shots while way behind. She players scored in double adopted in 1868, is out of date. "If North Carolina is to meet the demands of a two-party state and of an increasingly complex society, in education, industry and other areas, the Constitution must be adapted to fit our changing times. - The proposed Constitutional amendments are as follows: Volunteers Needed For Murdoch Center The Murdoch Committee, of the YM-YWCA, is recruiting volunteers to work at the Murdoch Center, a state institution for the mentally retarded, for the spring semester. The committee currently has approximately 50 volunteers giving about two or three hours one morning or afternoon a week. Jeanne Mundhenke,. chairman of the Murdoch h , .-t figures, topped by Cowens with 14. But it wasn't a high scorer who put on the besi show for the Seminoles. Willie Williams, a 6-7 junior, kept Carolina from getting second shots and adding insult to injury with 12 rebounds, high for both teams. Williams couldn't match UNC'S height, but used position underneath and keen timj'ig to block several shots and grab rebounds. But FSU just couldn't cope with the Carolina pressure man-to-man defense and UNC's accurate shooting, and it was another non-conference breather for the Tar Heels, now 17-1 overall. The Seminoles can now go back to their reservation knowing the Happy Hunting Grounds must have something better in store for them. 1 veto power for the governor, 2 second term for governor and lieutenant governor, 3 appointment several Council of State officers, 4 requirement that judges be licensed lawyers, 5 reduction of residence requirements for voting in state elections from one year to six (Continued on Pace 4) Committee, said, "We are anticipating an even better program this spring, so we hope to obtain more than the 50 volunteers we had this fall semester." There are six areas of volunteer service available: recreation, school (as teacher's aides), one-to-one involvement, unit for blind, multihandicapped and Chaplain's Committee. In addition to the six areas of service there was a wide variety of services offered by volunteers last semester, including swimming instructions, guitar lessons, and teaching assistances. "Anyone with a special talent that he wants to share: art, music or sports isurged to let us know of his interests so that they might be incorporated within the service program offered by the committee," Mrs Mundhenke said. There will be an organizational meeting for all people who are interested in working on the committee in Gerrard Hall on Monday, Feb. 10. "We encourage anyone who is interested in working as a volunteer at the Murdoch Center to please come to the organizational meeting. Those persons who have worked as volunteers before are asked to come to Gerrard Hall at 7:30 p.m. if they are planning on continuing working with the program through the spring semester. "People interested in joining the committee for the first time should come to Gerrard Hall at 8:30 p.m. to get information on the orientation program which includes a tour and discussion held in the next few weeks before actual volunteer work begins. "We hope that those who could not participate in the fall semester will join the committee this spring semester," Mrs. Mundhenke said. If there are any special questions, persons should contact Jeanne Mundhenke at 933-5251, or Paul Ogburn at 942-6345.
