Magazine Gives USC Challenge Four sentences appearing in the "New York Times" magazine fur nished an inspiration for a feature story which will appear in the January issue of the University "Alumni News," according to Carl M.

Debate Favors Retaining USC Stadium Name A sparsely attended debate on the naming of the University foot ball stadium for Rex Enright by the Clarlosophic Literary Society Tuesday resulted in a vote by the audIience of over two to one favor of retaining the name "Carolina Stadium." Ivey D). Craver announced the results of a special ballot which was taken following the debate. Craver enmphasized t h e results were not the official sentiments of the society nor judgment of the debaters' arguments. The negative team, composed of John Rogers and Coming B. Gibbs, Jr. based their arguments on the supposition that the name "Caro linia" represents the state more favorably than would the name "Enright." The affirmative team--Harold Lowery and John Moye--heorised that Enright's name might mean m o r e nationally since Carolina might be misconstrued to mean North Colin. aright oday Over Two Thousand Approve The athletic committee of the University Board of Trustees con venes today and will discuss the question of whether the athletic stadium of USC should be named in honor of Rex Enright, present director of athletics. It is not known if the committee will issue a statement on the mat ter after today's meeting, but it is known that the student coun cil resolution supporting the nam ing of the stadium is on the com mittee's agenda for discussion. Approval of the athletic com mittee is expected to be tanta mount to approval of the Board of Trustees, since the suggestions of the committee are usually carried out by the board. Board Meeting The next meeting of the Board of Trustees is after the holidays. If the board does approve the suggestion, the name will officially be changed. Over 2,000 names were ob tained on petitiions circulated among student body request ing the changing of the name. The petitions will be presented to the committee at its meeting. Student council's resolution will also be presented to the committee. Committee Members The committee is composed of Sol Blatt, Jr., chairman; Rutledge L. Osborne, Edward M. Singleton, Hugh 0. Hanna, and James L. Moss, Jr. A display featuring highlights of Enright's career and articles about the current drive to honor him on the first floor of Russell House. Having had its beginning at student council, the movement to give the Carolina athletic stadium, presently having no official name, the name of Rex Enright, has gained nation-wide attention and elicited praise from sports person alities, students, former players, fans, alumni, and faculty. ACC CommIssinere One of the latest letters reeived by the committee was from James H. Weaver, commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference. He said, "It was interesting to read in 'The State' that the students at the University of South (Jarolina have initiated a movement to rename the football stadium and if success ful in this endeavor, the strueture would henceforth~ be known as The Rex Enright Otadlum. I hasten to add my endorsement of this plan. "Rex Enright's contribution to intercollegiate athletics on t h e l o c a I , conference and national levels has been and continues to be Invaluable. The proposed recogni tion would, in my judgment, be most fitting." Other Endorsements Among others who have en dorsed the drive are Clemson coach F r a n k Howard, North Carolina coach Jim Hickey, and Carolina players 8 t evye Koplan, Sammny Fewell, John Saunders, 3d Pitt., and Phil LIAvole. In a press conference South Carolina Govern.r 3. P. Hollings stated that he thought the namlng of the stadium would be an ex cellent idea.
