Stadiun Bass Says More Room Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Marvin Bass said Tuesday the advantages to the student body in moving to the East stands of Carolina Stadium for home football games outwveigh any disadvaintages that may ac company the move. Commenting on Student Senate action three weeks ago in approv ing the suggested move to the East stands and the subsequent| protests by some students, Bass said in a statement that the main advantage to be gained would be more 60-yard line seats for the student body. "The student body has out grown the section in the West stands and for several years has been pushed further and further into the end zone," Bass said. "By moving to the East stands, the entire student body can have seats on the sidelines with more than 1,250 additional students wvatching our games from 50-yard line seats." While some students objected to being on the side opp)osite from the University's football team, Bass pointed out that the student body will be facing the football team, actually affording the stu dents a better view of the team's bench. At the same time, Bass added, the football squad will have a better view of the demonstrations of team support and pi in the USC( A $50,000 "challenge grant" ias been made by the Richardson Foundation, Inc. to the Greater Jniversity Fund of Carolina.

The mighty blast cleared the k left fielder's head, driving in Lyles Adair and Todd Wilson, and brought the Independents from a 4-1 deficit to a 5-4 lead. Another homer by Joe Prehodka followed, And the issue was virtually settled, th the final two Independent runs in ca the sixth adding icing to the cake. en The Fraternity men had taken an early lead on a pair of two run homers by Jimmy Mills and Jimmy Howell in the third, but the margin failed to stand up as the Independents rallied for five big tallies in the fifth. Control trouble was winning urler Adair's problem early in c. he game, but after giving up those four runs in the third, he " ;ettled down and allowed only 'l :hree base runners the rest of the vay. p1 anation nd support, and that he wvas sure he 1962 team would hav'e th el ame supplort.
