Shanghai, Nov. ,11. Last
Chinese defense of the Shanghai

and destruction along the south

About 2,500 Chinese soldiers

nights of conflict with Japanese

BRAZIL CALMLY ACCEPTS
NEW DICTATORIAL LAWS
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Nov.
11. With dictatorial powers,
unequaled in the western hemi
sphere, Brazil's president Getu
lio Vargas ruled the country to
day. Brazil, largest of South Amer
ican countries, calmly accepted
the new political coup which
abolished the democratic form
of government and set up one
modeled in many respects after
some of the systems of the Eu
ropean countries. . -
Casinos, theaters, and restau
rants in the capital worked
with the usual animation and
there was no sign of resistance
to the swift move which Vargas
himself said was inspired by
fear of armed revolution.
Although Vargas has complete
military support, private sources
indicated that there was consid
erable up if inactive opposi
tion to his bloodless coup, f
Yesterday Vargas.; exercised
the decree rowers with' which
be had ruled largely since 1935
to dissolve federal and state leg
islative bodies and proclaimed a
new constitution with corporate,
authoritative trimmings. ,
Within 24 hours Vargas was
expected to decree reduction of
the export tax on coffee and ef
fect other measures to carry out
bis policy of abandoning export
price control over this principa
Brazilian product -

Some Ten Carloads Of
Students Stage
i Riot Scene V
Rocks Strike Cars
By1 Bob ' Perkins
The premature lighting of the
pep rally bon lire Wednesday
night by persons as yet unknown
led to an apology to Duke uni
versity t yesterday morning by
the University administration
and the president of the student
body for damage done to Duke
private property.
Acting oh the assumption that
the bon fire "had been started by
JuuKe stuaents, some ten car
loads of Carolina students
armecT; with paint allegedly
taken from the athletic supply
house, headed lor the Duke
campus.
. No Conclusive Evidence
Although over 20 sources of
information were followed up,
there was no conclusive evidence
brought to light that either
Duke; students,:: Carolina stu
dents or local Chapel Hill boys
started the fire, i ,.
However the riot scene '''at
Duke led by Carolina students
which followed the fire was al
most equal to that created by
the - famous Rameses hoax of
several years ago.
. The marble columns and con
crete steps of ; the auditorium "on
the woman's, campus received a
coating of paint. This morning
reports stated that the paint had
been washed off "the columns,
but could . not! be removed from
the steps or from the stadium.
Little Damage
Buckets -and liquor bottles
filled, with paint were thrown at
the Duke statue, but very little
damage was done there due to
Durham police arriving on the
scene. Goal posts in the stadium
refused to be uprooted, but were
twisted and bent.
Duke students . constructed
barricades on the campus roads
and auto warfare started. It was
... i i
a nit ana run aiiair. several
Carolina cars, blocked on the
roads, received an onslaught of
rocks. '
Duke cars chasing Carolina
cars attempted to crowd them
off the roadj or pass, block the
road, and get the occupants. One
Carolina boy is known to have
been caught and forced to help
clean up some of the damage.

CAMPUS CABINET
STANDS AGAINST
ATHLETIC SYSTEM
Members Take No Stand
Regarding Graham
Plan
By Allen Merrill
Thirty-seven executives of
leading campus organizations
assembled last night over a ban
quet table in Graham Memorial
and unanimously declared that
they were dissatisfied with the
hypocrisy existing in the present
athletic system at the Univer
sity. These thirty-seven men, or
ganized into the Campus cabinet
at the invitation of the president
of the student body, took a stand
neither for nor against the Gra
ham plan. Nor did they take a
stand for or against subsidiza
tion of varsity athletes.
Motion Passed'
However, a motion was made
and" passed unanimously that
"The Campus cabinet recognizes
the inevitable hypocrisy that ex
ists in the present athletic situ
ation and recommends that steps
be taken ' to change that situa
tion."
Stuart Rabb, delegated by
President Bob Magill to open
the question, declared that he
had proof that athletes were re
ceiving aid "from outside
sources."
Acts Of Dishonor
These athletes, Rabb contend
ea, naa nevertheless signea a
statement that they werejiot re
ceiving outside, aid other than
from- those -upon whom they
were "naturally- dependent."
While this was a violation of
both -the spirit and letter of the
Graham Plan, Rabb felt that un
der '- the circumstances the acts
of dishonor were understand
able., r : .
Suggestions that the cabinet
go on record in favor of alumni
subsidization of ; athletes were
defeated.
. Speaker Bud Hudson of the
cabinet won a round, of applause
when he made an inspired talk
on the value of intercollegiate
athletics to the University, the
sincerity of President Graham,
and the probable advisabilty of
subsidization.
Pressure
Hudson declared himself
against the condemnation of an
on the eligibility slip. Because of
the pressure from within and
without, he felt that any man
who refused to sign was some
thing approaching, a "saint."
Basketball Star Pete Mullis,
Grail member and president of
the Monogram club, openly de
clared himself in favor of
alumni subsidization and urged
that all hypocrisy be done away
with in favor of the subsidized
athlete. '
Four other campus issues of
current importance, were post
poned .until the meeting of, the
cabinet next week, because of
the lateness of the hour.

POP QUIZ
By
Bob Perkint
Five students were engaged
in a poker game Clark, Sapp,
Perry, Harkins, and Mosier.
Their brands of cigarettes are
Luckies, Camels, Kools, Old
Golds, and Chesterfields, but not
necessarily respectively, and
only for this particular night.
At the beginning of the game,
the number of cigarettes - pos
sessed by each of the players
was 20, 15, 8, 6, and 3, but not
necessarily respectively. Later
in the evening, at a given time,
when no one was smoking the
following conditions existed.
1. Sapp asked for three cards.
2. Mosier had smoked half of his
original supply, or one less than
Perry smoked. 3. The Chester
field man originally had as many
more plus half as many more,
plus 2V more cigarettes than
,he now has.
4. The man who draws to an
inside straight absent-mindedly
lit. the tipped end of his fifth
cigarette, the last he smoked. 5.
The . man who smokes Luckies
has smoked two more than any
one else including Sapp. 6. Clark
drew as many aces as he origi
nally had cigarettes. 7. No one
has smoked all his cigarettes. 8.
The Camel man asks Harkins to
pass Clark's matches.
- At this point all anybody
wants to know is how many cig
arettes did each man have to be
gin with and of what brand? (A
cigarette lit is a cigarette
smoked.)
Answer to yesterday's quiz: Let X
be the 8 gallon container; Y the 5; Z
the 3. To begin with X has, 8, Y-0,
Z-0. Now pour so that X has 3, Y-5j
and Z-0; X-3, Y-2, Z-3; X-6, Y-2,
Z-0; X-6, Y-0, Z-3; X-l, Y-5, Z-2;
X-l, Y-4, Z-3 and X-4, Y-4, Z-0
