EDITORIAL: No Quorum Counterfeit Student No Holiday NEWS: Student Party Meeting1 Late Coed Hours Twin-Sized Majorettes -THE ONLY COLLEGt DAILY IN THE SOUTHEAST- VOLUME LV United Press CHAPEL HILL, N. C..' SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1946 NUMBER 65 NEWS BRIEFS Government Readies Fight On Coal Strike Walkout Is Illegal Says Justice Unit Washington, Not. 155 (UP) The government has accepted John L. Lewis' latest challenge. Federal law yers say the Justice Department is considering injunction action or pros ecution of the leaders of the United Mine Workers if the threatened strike materializes next Wednesday mid night. Government legal experts say if Lewis goes through with his threat and forces a shutdown of the soft coal mines next week, it will consti tute an "overt act" inciting the min ers to strike and will open the miners boss to prosecution under the Smith Connally Act. 'Mystery Move In addition to considering injunc tion action, the administration is re ported to have planned another "my-, stery move" to prevent the walkout. But official circles refuse to give the slightest hint of what that might be. The government lawyers went into conference on the mining situation after Lewis ignored a 60-day truce plea from President Truman and an nounced that he was terminating the union-government coal contract at midnight Wednesday. GOP Plans to Reduce Government Employees New York, Nov. 15 (UP) The Republican planners aren't wasting any time on their budget-balancing program. Yesterday the GOP steer ing committee for the House of Rep- reserrtatives made public its plan for reduced government spending. Today, the House committee moved forward a, step toward putting its plan into effect. The committee conferred with its Senate counterpart and got the Senate group t6 accept the plan. The GQPs principal saving will be effected by firing government workers. The expected head of the House ap propriations committee, Representa tive John Taber of New York, says this can be done without damaging the efficiency of the government. The proposal left civil service com mission officials scpeechless. These officials, who control the hiring and firing of all but the top-ranking gov ernment workers, refused to comment on Taber's plan. One executive said, "We can't comment on that one, it would get us into awful conflict with the legislative branch."

Music Must Be Loud to Attract Fans' Attention. . Twin-Sized, High Stepping Drum Majorettes Twirl Batons for 100-Piece Carolina Band By Arnold Schulman When the first coed took her place on the Carolina football field in the fall of 1940, many students still felt that the wom an's place was in the home. It was bad enough, they thought, to have females leading cheers, but when a woman starts leading a band that's too much! Since that time, however, the Uni versity drum majorette has become a permanent figure before the 100 piece band. In fact, when the band dominates Kenan stadium at the half, the music has to be pretty loud to attract any attention at all! Stop at Majorettes Diminutive Margo Martin and Bet tie Gaither, twin-sized twirlers of this years band, strut with such promin ence that, according to a recent poll, 65 percent of the spectators at a ball game never let their eyes get past the majorettes' high-stepping, to in spect the percision of the rest of the band. The girls, and the rest of the band, only have two hours a week for prac tice, but this has not proved to be a serious handicap. Experts in parade orancing have gone on record to say that no college in the country can 'wost of a more colorful pair of baton swingers. Available to 'Right Party r Both coeds are local North Carolina nroducts, coming from the eastern oart of the state. Both went to St. Mary's college in Raleigh. and both ire members of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority. Neither Bettie nor Margo is "pinned," and in answer to the wild cat-cans that gTeet their appearance on the football field, both say they "are available to the right party." Bettie, from Elizabeth City, will graduate this year with an A.B. in English. She already has a degree in Spanish which she put to practical Clas hWith fSP ng o Political Group Will Hold Serial, Business Session In the first meeting- to actual ly consider nominations for the coming political campaign, the Student Party will hold an open business and social session to morrow afternoon at 5 o'clock in the Candlelight room of Graham Memo rial.
