NEWS BRIEFS
Coal Strike
Is Postponed
Lewis, Krug Agree
To Discuss Wages
Washington, Oct. 28 (UP) The
government has agreed to discuss a
new wage contract with President
John L. Lewis of the AF of L United
Mine Workers. Lewis promptly an
nounced that the current contract
will remain effective and unchanged
during the. period of negotiation.
The president made his comment
shortly after John L. Lewis, head of
the AF of L United Mine Workers,
held a separate news conference and
announced that the government had
agreed to meet with UMW delegates
on November 1st. Lewis last week de
manded the meeting, and earlier it
had been indicated that his 'demand
would not be granted. However, to
day's sudden reversal changed the
picture entirely.
Removes Threat
The action apparently has removed
the threat of a new coal strike on
November 1st. Officials believe that
a walkout by miners now is impro
bable before November 20th at the
earliest.
Lewis announced the agreement to
negotiate by making public a tele
gram from Secretary of the Interior
J. A. King. The telegram asked Lew
is to meet with N. H. Qpllisson, coal
mines administrator, on November 1st
or on any other date agreeable to
Lewis.
Think It Over
Who should give character to the student body of the Univer
sity of North Carolina? The many or the few?. The overwhelm
ing majority of students who live by the spirit of the Honor Code
and the Campus Code and always conduct themselves in a manner
reflecting great credit to themselves and the University, or a
handful of irresponsibles? The answer is obvious.
Yet, at the football game Saturday a mere handful of students,
in a disgusting exhibition of drunkenness, slandered and degraded
the good name and reputation of Carolina and made all of us
look like a third rate group supporting a first rate team. '
Those of us who represent you in student government do not
believe that you intend to con&one or tolerate such a situation or
that you will allowT yourselves to be put on the spot insuch a
manner as this. Accordingly, we are redoubling our efforts to
see to it that the few students who are guilty of such disgraceful
conduct, whether it be at a football game, in the classroom, in
towrn, or out of town, are severely reprimanded and dismissed
from the University.
Signed: . ,
Dewey Dorsett, president of student body.
Charles Warren, speaker of the legislature.
Johnny Jones, secretary-treasurer of the
' " student body.
Ray Jeffries, student council chairman.
Pete Pulley, men's council chairman.
Fran Golden, chairman of woman's council.

A. B. Smith Takes First Place
In Student Union Grid Contest
Claude Ramsay, President Dewey Dorsett
Are Runners-Up in Upset-Starred Guessing
Missing only three games out of twenty, in a week-end dotted
with major gridiron upsets, A. B. Smith, first-year law student
from Norge, Virginia, copped the past week's Graham Memorial
football contest by a very narrow mar-
gin.
Runners-up were Claude Ramsay, 5
Battle dormitory, second, and stu
dent body president Dewey Dorsett,
third. Leading a field of nearly fif
teen hundred entries, Ramsay and
Dorsett muffed four and five selec
tions, respectively. Ramsay's closely
predicted score of 41-13 for the Tar
Heel fray placed him a hair-breadth
second to Smith, who missed the Caro
lina score by a wider mark. However,
Smith predicted the VPI upset of
State, and several other pre-game
toss-ups.
