LIHB.Y (Periodical Dept.) University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, N. C. 1-31-49 i - WEATHER Fair and slightly warmer, EDITORIALS Reaffirm Failh Moral for Two Incompatible Love el New Coach Is Demanded At Carnegie PITTSBURGH, Oct. 25. (UP) The Carnegie Tech campus was livid with painted protests today as the student body revolted against the directorship of its winless football team. The long-smouldering student uprising erupted after the Tar tans lost their 18th consecutive game last Saturday, bowing to Case, 26-20. Once a football pow er, Carnegie Tech hasn't won a game since 1942. Irate students, armed with black and red paint, splashed the campus walks with foot-high protest signs and members of a student committee circulated a petition demanding the dismissal of Bill Donohoe as head coach. The petition asked that a new coach be hired and Donohoe be demoted to an assistant coaching position. The sign painted on the side walk at the entrance to the ad ministration building read: "Here lies school spirit: Born 1909, died 1939." A short distance away another said, "Down with Doher ty." Both referred to the school's sports de-emphasis policy under Tech president Dr. Robert E. Doherty. The "simon pure" ath letic program was blamed for Tech's steady decline in the sports world since 1939. Dr. Doherty said he wasn't tak ing the demonstrations seriously as yet. "All we need is a few vic tories and things will change," he said. Two-Man Team Will Explain Cadet Program Major Leslie McLaurin and Major James R.

Argentine Government Forces Retake Academy After Cadet Students Revolt tjttttmoc: ATRES. Argentina, Oct. 25. (UP) The Paraguayan national radio said tonight that i i . government forces naa recap tured the military academy, ap parently ending a brief Asuncion revolt led by army cadets. The official broadcast said the academy surrendered at 7:40 p m,. just before the national network broadcast a message from President J. Natalicio Gon zalez warning the students that the army would "inexorably crush" their rebellion. Gonzales ordered the cadets to "lay down their arms and aban don the camp of medition."

(UP) A Rus sian veto tonight killed a United Nations Security council plan for ending the Berlin blockade crisis. The United States, however, kept the door open for a settlement outside the UN. Andrei Y. Vinshinsky, casting his country's 27th veto in the Security council, killed the pro posal by merely raising his hand when the vote came. Neutral countries announced at once that they would continue their attempt to end the crisis. Even before Vishinsky invoked the veto, American Delegate Phil lip C. Jessup, knowing that he intended to do so, saiu: "The three Western govern ments have indicated their ac ceptance of the principles con tained in the resolution. If the government of the Soviet Union would give reciprocal assurances that the program suggested in that resolution would be carried out', it can be done." This, authoritative Western Al lied sources said, meant Jessup was offering Russia the possi bility of another attempt to solve the crisis by direct negotiation outside the UN. This may either be to follow up Jessup's offer or to take the Ber lin question to the UN assembly and ask that body to condemn Russia before the world as a violator of peace. Col. Sanchez, chief of Gonzales' personal staff, had been appoint ed acting head of the academy. The broadcast gave no details of the uprising. Argentine news men in the Paraguayan border towns of Clorinda and Formosa reported earlier that the roar of cannon and mortars and the crack of small-arms fire could be heard from the direction of Acension throughout the day. All telephones, telegraph and radio communication between Argentina and the Paraguayan capital was cut off for several hours. Late today, however, Asuncion broadcast radio stations returned to the air with routine programs, making no mention of the report cd uprising. CHAPEL HILL, N. C, TUESDAY, Negro Says Segregation 'Humiliating' OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 25 (UP) Negro G. W. McLaurin to day told a federal district court it is "humiliating" for him to sit in a side room while attending classes at the University or Okla- J homa. McLaurin, who was admitted to O. U. two weeks ago to study for a doctor's degree in education, testified in his suit to force the university to abandon the seg regation imposed on him. The Negro has been assigned a desk in a little" room opening into a larger room where white students sit. ; Thurgood Marshall, New York attorney, argued that when the federal court recently' ruled the state's segregation laws -are void as they apply to McLaurin, the university was stripped , of its authority to segregate McLaurin after it enrolled him. Marshall claimed also that any type of segregation violates the constitutional guarantee of equal educational opportunities for all people. Marshall also asked the court to determine whether the law suit of Mrs. Mauderie Hancock Wilson, another Negro seeking to enter O. U., may be included in the case. The court did not act immediately on the request. McLaurin told the three fed eral judges hearing the case that, "It is humiliating for me to be placed in that room." "It handicaps me in doing ef fective work," he added. "I am always conscious of the segrega tion, and I cannot concentrate on my work as I should."

Institute Slates Three-Day Meet For Jailers Here If you're considering robbery, house-breaking or violence of any kind in Chapel Hill this week, it might be wise to sit tight until a more opportune time. Why? Well, it seems that the Institute of Government has scheduled a three-day course in jail management for county and city jailers throughout the state, and from all indications, the community is going to be pretty heavily populated with The Law for the next few days. The program, which gets un derway tomorrow afternoon, is the first of its kind to be spon sored by a state agency. The in stitute and the state Department of Public Welfare, in working out the six-session school, have arranged a number of lectures and demonstrations for the en rollees. There will be discussions on jail management and inspec tion, the legal rights of prisoners, sanitation problems, and a panel discussion on jail operation.

The afternoon paper's endorse ment of the Dewey-Warren pres idential slate last week was the first time since the News began publication 60 years ago that it gave opposition to the Democrat ic slate.
