Lewis, Miners'
Appeal Fines
Contempt Case Goes
Into Supreme Court
Washington, Dec 5 (UP) John
L. Lewis and the United Mine Work
. ers have filed papers to appeal their
conviction and heavy fines for con
tempt of a court order against the
coal strike. The case is expected to
reach the Supreme Court early next
week.
The great majority of the miners
seem as solidly behind their leader
as ever, but there has been one break.
Some 40 members of a local union
went back to work in six mines in the
Durango area of Colorado. A spokes
man for the group says: "If it's
a case of J ohn L. Lewis or the gov
ernment, we are for the government."
Schools Shut Down
As the coal strike completed its
second full week tonight, the Solid
Fuels Administration advised the gov
ernors of 36 coal-consuming states
to shut down schools, amusement
places and other buildings not abso
lutely essential -to the public safety.
The Fuel Agency also has scheduled
a meeting in Washington next week
to discuss conservation measures.
Student Legislature Votes 'Four ' New "Polling 'Places
Dorsett Issues Statement
On Buying of Bowl Tickets
Bilbo Denies Keeping
Negroes from Voting
Jackson, Miss., Dec. 15 (UP)
Mississippi's Senator Bilbo admits he!
doesn't believe Negroes generally are
qualified to vote. But he denied that
he had any part in violence to keep
them from the polls. Bilbo testified be
fore the Senate committee investigat
ing his election policies.
Dewey Dorsett, student body
president last night issued the fol
lowing statement concerning sale of
Sugar Bowl tickets:
The student government commit
tee which has been asked to deter
mine the fairest method of distri
buting tickets has one idea in mind:
to see to it that every student defi
nitely planning to see the game gets
a ticket.
In order to accomplish this aim
we ask " your wholehearted coop
eration in observing the following
principles:
1. Do not buy a ticket unless you
are definitely going to New Orleans
to see the game.
2. Under no circumstances are
tickets to be resold. If you purchase
a ticket and later find that it is
impossible for you to make the trip,
turn it back in to the athletic office
and it will be sold to another stu
dent. Reselling is not only a viola
tion of the law, but it deprives some
student of his right to see the game.
3 If no additional tickets are ob
tained each student may purchase
only one ticket. If the University
receives more tickets, a fifty-fifty
division between students and alum
ni will be made, in accordance with
the agreement of administration and
athletic officials and students may
purchase additional tickets.
4. Tickets will not go on sale be
fore December 10th. The tickets will
be sold first come, first served.
Bring your pass book and identifi
cation card with you when you
purchase your ticiet.
There are many students who
want to see this game. It would be
a crime if any of them were denied
the privilege by some students'
selfishness and refusal to plafair.
When we buy those tickets let's
remember the last fellow in the
line.

Eller, Chesnutt
Miller Are Named
To Go to Chicago
By Bookie Jabine
I By the narrow margin of one
vote, the Student Legislature
last night stumbled its way
through a labyrinth of parlia
mentary regulation to amend the
current elections, statutes to pro
vide for the creation of four
new polling places in Ruff in, Mo
Iver, Aycock and the Deke house.
Previous to the debate on the elec
tions bill, the body selected three del
egates to attend the American Con
ference of College students in Chi
cago, December 28-30. Bill Miller,
Jim Chesnutt, and Tom Eller were
named.
Extended Debate on Bill
Dissolving itself into a committee
of the whole to consider Bob Collins'
election amendment, the legislature
weighed the proposal pro and con in
extended debate. Walt Stuart and Don
Shropshire, head of the legislature
elections committee urged passage of
the measure pointing out that addi
tional polling places were needed due
to the increase in enrollment here.
The original bill as introduced by
Collins provided for balloting to be
conducted in Aycock, Euffin and Mc-
Iver to service the dormitories in those
. TTT 1 1 X 1 -
areas. ;ari vvooaara presented an
amendment to also place a box in the
Deke house.
John Surratt speaking for the de
feat of the measure said that the last
election was carried out "efficiently,
and "that the addition of new polling
places would add to the confusion."
After the coming but of the com
mittee of the whole, the legislature
then voted on the act, passing it by
14-13. Amid cries of "revote" from
the defeated faction, the body moved
on to further business. .
A motion by Alex Davis, and sup
ported by Tookie Hodgson of the Pub
lications Board, to re-allocate funds
from student entertainment to publi
cations was tabled. I

Prior to the delivery of the speech
es, Winston Broadfoot, contest mode
rator, announced that the $150 for
first and second prizes were donat
ed by St. Anthony Hall for the pur
pose of stimulating campus interest
in the vital international problem of

by the local AVC chapter that con
ducted the contest.
Agree on Some Points
While all five contestants agreed
mat tne several nations must co
operate through a universal surren
der of some aspects of their sovereign
ty, Boak said "it is essential that an
International Police force be set up,
empowered to control atomic weapons
and to curb any nation that stale
mates negotiations through refusal to
accept the decision of the majority,"
to be under the control of a United
Nations board.

PAUL YOUNG
Suggests International Education
To solve geographical and ideologi
cal "differences, Boak suggested a sys
tem of international education be
established under the leadership of
UN and that world economy operate
under a no-tariff, free trade plan.
Andrews' essay that will appear in
the December issue of the Carolina
Magazine was selected prior to the
final contest and represents only a stu
dent's view on world peace.
The idea for the contest was orig
inated in October by AVC, with the I
view of stimulating campus interest
in "winning the peace."
