UNC Not Worried
Over Coal Supply
"Whether John L. Lewis and Uncle
Sam are able to solve their dispute is
of interest to University officials, how
ever, present coal supplies enable these
men to f ollow the dispute as interested
and nonaffected spectators rather than
men vitally involved in the results.
In discussion yesterday, J. A.
Branch, University purchasing agent,
and J. S. Bennett, supervisor of utili
ties indicated that present coal sup
plies are sufficient to last for approxi
mately two to three months. Only the
sudden unlooked for appearance of a
violent cold wave could seriously aTect
these estimates.
Water power furnishes a major por
tion of University electricity from
which heat is derived as a by-product.
Bennett indicated that no plan of
coal rationing is being considered by
the University and that no plan will
be considered unless the Duke Power
company finds that such a strategy is
necessary for its operation.

Lanier Announces
Period to Start
On Next Monday
Winter quarter registration
for students in the General Col
lege, College of Arts and Scien
ces, School of Commerce, Grad

find it much easier to procure courses
they desire than they will should they
wait until January 2 to register. Also
students who register during the De
cember 2-14 period for the winter
quarter will not have to return to
Chapel Hill until the opening day of
classes on January 3.
Central Records Office director Ed
win Lanier pointed out that an aver
age of 600 students a day will have to
go through Memorial Hall in order to
complete registration of those now in
school for the winter quarter.
Procedure will be the same as that
followed for the spring and summer
session. Each student will report to
his faculty advisor who will prepare
together with the student, the ffreej
class form. After this preparation,
the student will take the form to Me
morial Hall where he will receive his
class tickets and will complete his
registration.
Upon registration, he will be given
a "Notice of Return Card" to deliver
to the registration desk in Memorial
Hall upon return at the beginning of
the winter quarter.
Passbook on Return
When the card is returned the stu
dent will be issued his athletic ptss
book for the winter quarter. At this
time also subsistence for veteran stu
dents will be continued. Purpose of
the card is to notify the University
that students .have returned.

Originated almost a decade ago by
Edwin H. Paget, of the State college
faculty, sessions have been growing
in popularity each year. It reached
its greatest attendance of all times last
year at the 1945 session.
Open to Negroes
Buddy Glenn, one of the nearly 50
delegates from the University, set
forth a proposal to expand the annual
legislature in order to make the ses
sion open to Negro delegates. Afte?
heated discussion and advice from Fa
culty advisor Paget and certain mem
bers of the State college delegation, the
proposal passed.
However several months ago BoB
Morrison, president of the 1945 ses
sion, received a one line, letter from
Paget stating that "there was no rea
son to hold a session this year."
A bill was then passed in the cam
pus Student Legislature here to sug
gest to the other colleges in the state
joint sponsorship of the Legislature.
Before any action could be taken, mem
bers of the student body at State col
lege formed a group and decided to
carry on the school's tradition and
sponsor this year's session. Paget re
