Greyhound Line Refuses
To Reduce Rates
For Students
Pete Ivey announced today
that the proposed trip to the
Carolina-N. Y. U. game lias been
canceled because no satisfac
tory arrangement could be made
for a special rate.
Ivey, who has been working
to get a special caravan of buss
es for Carolina students going
to thegame, had made arrange
ments with the North Carolina
branch of the Greyhound line to
charter busses to Richmond for
$155 per bus. However, the
Pennsylvania Greyhound line
which operates between Rich
mond and New York refused to
cooperate with Ivey. They said
they could quote no special rate,
and that people going to the
game would have to buy a reg
ular round trip ticket between
Richmond and New York.
"Due to this refusal to coop
erate we have decided to drop
the entire arrangement," said
Ivey. He went on to say that the
Carolina party would go, by train
from Durham. All students in
terested in the trip should see
Coach Robert Fetzer.
The Carolina party will meet
at Times Square in New York
after they arrive. Ivey Jias not
yet had a reply from Mayor La
Guardia, but he still expects to
hold a rally at the square. If it
is impossible to secure this place
the meeting will be held either
at Central park or on the top of
the Empire State building.
