Army Prepares
To Take Hand
In Coal Fray
Troops May Be Sent
Into Striking Mines
Washington, Nor. 19 (UP) The
Army is ready to take a hand in the
soft coal dispute.
The War Department says it will
cooperate fully with coal Administra
tor Krug if Krug asks for any help in
maintaining, peace in the coal fields
in the anticipated coal strike. The an
nouncement means that troops may be
sent into the soft coal fields, if their
presence is needed. Any government
attempt to operate the pits if John L.
Lewis does not back down from his
present stand is certain to cause
trouble.
Lewis Stands Pat
With little more than 24 hours of
grace left, Lewis still has not with
drawn his contract . termination no
tice. Although facing a possible jail
sentence for contempt of court unless
he. reverses his walkout decision, Le
wis remained silent again today. But
one quarter of his men nearly 100
thousand coal miners stayed away
irova. work today in wildcat strikes
which already have cost the nation I
nearly three quarters of a million
tons of coal.
This drop in coal production has not
yet affected the nation's economy. But
a spokesman for the steel industry
says that steel production will be
curtailed almost at once if there is a
strike. And the government has draft
ed a series ' of brown-out orders for
the coal burning states east of the
.Mississippi, which will go into effect
tomorrow, night if the coal-.strike
comes off as appears only too likely.

Raleigh, Nov. 20 (UP) Governor

Mezerik Will Be Presented
At SCHW Meeting Tonight
A. G. Mezerik, author of the
' j'w0" cmpnV tnnio-M in
has participated in conferences con-
cerning the South's current problems.
The New York Times marked his
book on the "colonial empire economy"
as it exists today a prophetic volume.
A noted author and industrial con
sultant, Mr. Mezerik is currently edi
tor of Business News Services. He has
served as managing director of the
Institute of Standards.
Industrialization for South
Mezerik has made an impressive
case of the economic subjections of
the South and West. The mam nope
of the South, he feels, is industrializa
tion. He emphasizes the potential in
fluence of the cheap power supply of
the TVA in the South and Bonneville,
Boulder, and the Grand Coulee dams
in the West.

Colonial Period Will Feature Pathways. . .
Williamsburg
Of New Brick
By Earl Heffner
Colonial architecture is usually a lad practiced by dowagers
possessing a love of the past without a realization of what it por
tends to present generation.
Such isn't the case of the Univer- :
sity which is paving walks throughout , Tradition will not disappear with
the campus in old Williamsburg style, ' the advent of the new walk for the old
i.e. the establishment of quaint brick colonial period will be poignant with
walks to replace the traditional paths
that are wont to cover students' shoes
with dust and mud from generation
to generation.
Eventual bricking of all walks on
the University campus is the goal of
J. S. Bennett, supervisor of utilities,
who yesterday explained away ques
tions as to how brick may be acquired
for this project while housing still
s a crucial problem of national and '
local administrations.
No Brick Shortage
Housing has posed a serious head
ache for politicians since the end of
the war. However, Bennett showed
yesterday that the University is pro
curing the brick for the walks with
out benefit of priority, as brick ap
parently is no longer a vital material
of shortage in home construction.

'Uncle George' Washington Will Make
Traditional Pre-Game Speech Friday
By Darley Lochner
Carolina students will be able to hear the broadcast of both the
Carolina and Duke pep rallies during the intermission at the Tom
my Dorsey dance Friday night. An added attraction to Thursday
night's celebration will be "Uncle George" Washington, Negro
janitor of Wilson hall and traditional
speaker at other pre-Duke rallies.
"I think the Carolina student body
can out-yell Duke, but we'll have to
have Memorial hall filled to do it,"
Mike Morrow, University club presi
dent, said yesterday.
' Appearing on Friday's program will
be Pete Mullis, assistant basketball
coach, Lath Mariff, better known as
Tarzan, former Carolina cheerleader,
and Kay Kyser.
Poster Parade Tomorrow
Thursday's rally will begin with a
torchlight parade and will be climax
ed by a bonfire at Fetzer field. The Pi
Kappa Alpha poster parade, originally
scheduled for Friday night, is now
planned as a part of the program to
morrow. Dr. Frank Graham, Coach Carl
Snavely and team co-captains Ralph
Strayhorn and Chan Highsmith are
among the speakers at Thursday's
bonfire celebration.'
Candlelight Room
To Star Kistler
In Show Tonight
; Featuring Ben Kistler, well-known
student-comedian'from Greensboro, as
the master of ceremonies, this even
ing's entertainment at the Candlelight
Room will begin at 8:30 with the fami
liar strains of "Stardust," theme song
of the local combo.
Highlights of the floor, show which
(will begin promptly at 9:30, are the
two comedians, Ben Kistler and Don
ald O'Conner, both well known
throughout this section of the country.
Kistler, having been on . the stage
since the age of three, broke into the J
limelight as a comedian when he was
thirteen and has been there ever since.
He has also had considerable experi
ence in play directing, being the direc
tor of G.I. shows while in service. Since
his return to the campus he has per
formed for the University Veterans
j Association and for the Sound and
Fury production last spring, "State
of the Campus."
Also to entertain on this evening's
program along the melody line will be
Miss Gwen Hughes, vocalist; Rusty

the Athas Sisters. Buddy Robinson sidered a full member of the Univer-

romance of the Randolph era of North
Carolina. For the present the pro
gram calls merely for construction of
a walk from behind South building
down to the library walk.
Bennett explained that old brick
are being torn from the gutters in
order that a uniform outline may be
maintained for sake of uniformity and
beauty. Nonetheless, the old brick will
not be wasted. Rather it will be used
to construct portions of the walk.
Much of the brick is being removed
since it is inexpedient to attempt chip
ping processing necessary to the re
moval of cement and concrete now
present along edges of the gutter.
The new walk, which the Daily Tar
Heel suggests be christened the Wil

'UNCLE GEORGE'
Dorsett Appoints
Student to Take
Calendar Gripes
Students who have complaints about
the academic calendar should see or
call Jack Booraem, recently appointed
student representative to the Universi
ty Schedule Committee, Charlie War
ren, speaker of legislature recently an
nounced. Since no student members served on
the committee and because "the ar
ranging of the academic calendar is
of concern to the students as well as the
faculty," the legislature recently adop
ted a resolution to submit a student
representative to the University sche
dule committee.
Upon adoption of the resolution,
Jack Booraem of Ruffin dormitory,
was appointed by Student Body Presi
dent Dewey Dorsett. All complaints
should be made directly to Booraem,
the legislature speaker pointed out.
The student member of the commit
tee will be appointed annually by the
president of the student body at the
same time appointments of other exe-
sity Schedule Committee and has the
privileges and rights of the faculty
members.
used as filler. Veterans with memories
of mudholes such as Leyte and Oki
nawa, upon learning that no vital
housing material is being used in the
construction may bless the project.
Next on the program will be the lay
ing of a similar brickway from South
building to the Carolina Inn, ac
cording to Bennett.
Still an aspirin provocative to utili
ties officials is the growing demand
for telephones in men's dormitories.
While wartime regulations remain in
effect, they are not being exercised.
As a result the University is unable
to procure the necessary lines for
placing a telephone on each floor of
every dormitory.
Bennett exp'ained. that throughout
Chapel Hill there i3 a demand for tele
phones, that doctors even are unable
to procure the instruments. While he
is aware of the need for further in
struments, the supervisor of utilities
believes that vital requirments should
be filled first. ."Then the University
will be able to fulfill the demauds of
students as it wishes to do," he said.
