International Women's Day commemorates the actions of thousands of women from the garment workers' districts of New York City in 1857. They marched into the wealthier neighborhoods to demand improved working conditions, decent wages, a reduction of the working day to ten hours and recognition of equal rights for women. The women protested after several of them were killed in a factory fire. The factory provided no fire regulations for safety precautions. The protestors were violently attacked and dispersed by the police. A massive strike by women needle workers followed in 1910 after several more protests and strikes by the workers. In memory of the New York women, Clara Zetkin called for the celebration of International Women's Day at the Conference of Socialist Women. International Women's Day is now celebrated March 8 around the world in honor of all women of all nationalities, races and ages who have worked for the rights of women. The UNC group of Female Liberation has several smaller groups working in various aspects of women's lives. The campus group meets Monday nights in the Student Union. Any woman is welcomed to find out what she can do for women's rights. Cabala, the town group, is holding an Open House Thursday, March 11, at Wesjeyan Center at 8 p.m. All women interested in women's rights, both on and off campus, are invited to find out more about town activities in Female liberation.

Ihiai by Jessica Hanchar Staff Writer Student Government bought two shares of General Motors (GM) stock Friday to express support for Campaign GM, a Washington-based consumer group which is trying to make General Motors responsible to its stockholders. The stock, registered in the name of Student Government of UNC, was bought for $82 a share. The purchase from a Chapel Hill broker was made by a Student Legislature committee composed of Gerry Cohen, Richard Fox and Michael Padrick. The move to buy stocks was authorized last month by Student Legislature. Legislators Gerry Cohen, Jim Bowman and Robert Grady introduced 17 Smith called for further improvements in the town areas of fire, police and sanitation departments as well as for further improvement in the opportunities for the low income residents of Chapel Hill to have decent housing. He said he would work for an emergency ambulance service in Chapel Hill, on a 24-hour-a-day basis and for. continued efforts to improve the human relations in the community. the bill to purchase the GM stock after the University indicated it was not willing to support Campaign GM proposals. The University holds a substantial amount of stock, thereby wielding voting power among the GM stockholders. Student Legislatures will vote one of the shares in favor of the Campaign GM proposals. "The proposals are to require GM to make full disclosure of its anti-pollution effort, to put non-management candidates for the board of directors on management proxy and to expand the board by putting a consumer, an auto owner and a GM employe on it," explained Cohen. The decision on how to vote the second share will be made in a referendum at the spring student elections March 16. Student Government may send two students to the General Motors annual meeting in Detroit May 21 although this meeting falls during final exams. Student Legislature urged the University to cast its shares at the stockholders meeting in favor of the proposals of the Project on Corporate Responsibility when it approved the bill to buy the two shares. The money for the stock purchase was obtained from the Student Government general surplus rather than from the University trust fund. Dividends of $6.80 a year will be paid to the Student Government general surplus. The sale of the stock may later be ordered at the discretion of Student Legislature. S: "1 V 15:- '.V 1 .

Sunday's warm weather like that of the past several days, prompted Fred-Eric Houk (I) and Sue Pyatte to spend the cooling afternoon in the Arb. (Staff photo by Johnny Lindahl) slays oee by Chris Cobbs Spurts I 'diior After a bitterly-contested Atlantic Coast Conference season settling nothing, you would, expect the coaches of the league's top three teams to be anything but polite and reflective. Wrong again. Dean Smith, Frank McGuire. and Bucky Waters traded verbal bouquets following Carolina's loss to Duke and USC's win over Wake Forest Saturday. "If Duke continues to play this well." said Smith after the Blue Devils 12-S3 triumph over his ACC regular season champs, "they can win the tournament." McGuire had a different thought. "Dean should be on the way to the l astern Regional right now." quoth the man whose team was deprived I of a similar opportunity by failing in last year's ACC tournament. Only Waters reserved his primary attention for his own squad. "We played well -you have to in order to beat Carolina." he said. "This game was a fitting finish to our. period of preparation for the tournament." The Blue Devils, third place finishers with a l-5 ACC mark, capped a strong blast half of the season two superb halves against Carolina. Duke shot (5 percent from the field in both periods and got outstanding afternoons from gargantuan Randy Denton and tinv Dick DeVenio. Denton rob on mis remarkable points. muscled in 24 points and had 10 while DeVnio handed out a 1 1 assists in addition to scorina six They had generous assistance from Larry Saunders. Rick Katherman and Gary Melchionni with 17, 16 and 15 points respectively. Their efforts were roundly applauded by Smith and Waters. "I thought Duke played a tremendous game." commented Smith. "That DeVenzio was just .sensational in the first half when he plassed the ball just enough to get it past our men. He hurt our press more than anyone since we have been using it-and that includes UCLA." Duke, heading for a first round tournament pairing with N.C. State in Greensboro Thursday, trailed 50-4') at the half Saturday, despite DeVenzio's heroics. Carolina had a sparkling shooting half. making 60 percent from the floor. Dennis Wuycik and Bill Chamberlain had 1 1 points and Georse Karl 10. The Tar Heels slumped after intermission, however. "Denton was hot I haven't seen him play better," Smith remarked. "And we were due for a bad shooting half. With the score tied 63-63, we missed six straight free throws and four good shots from the field." The Devils seized at his opportunity to fashion a safe 78-65 lead with 5:58 remaining. "We played as hard as we always do. but we will have to play harder from now on out," said Smith. Wuycik and Chamberlain wound up with 18, Lee Dedmon with 15. Carolina has a first round date with Clemson after finishing with a 20-5 overall and 11-3 conference record. McGuire s Gamecocks, second place club with a 10-4 .mark, meet .Maryland as the annual blood-letting commences. Most observers are figuring on a UNC-USC battle in the finals next Saturday night. But not Waters necessarily. "I'm proud of our team," he insisted. "We were 3-4 in the middle of December and since then v.e have won 15 of 18 and have not lost outside the conference. "When the going was rough, this team stayed together." He might, of course, have been referring to Carolina with that line. If so, he would have fallen right in with the lead of Smith and McGuire, whose flowery commentary served as an unusual prelude to the fierce tournament play ahead this week.
