Groundhogs Fed Up; Stay-in Strike Offered By PAUL RULE A possibility of a mass strike by all members of the United Brotherhood of Groundhogs loomed early today. Union locals in all parts of North America were reported on alert for such a move. A. Furry Woodchuck. president cf Kenan Woods Local No. 496, in an exclusive Daily Tar Heel interview said, "We're fed up! For years people have been accusing us groundhogs of the lousy weather in February and March. We have nothing to do with it, and we're tired of taking the blame." If a groundhog sees his shadow Feb. 2, six weeks of bad weather are supposed to follow. Good weather is alleged to result if a shadow is not seen. "This time we may not come out of our burrows at all," con tinued Woodchuck. "If the other unions can have walkouts, we can have a stay-in. Let them blame the climate on the squirrels for a change." Doubt was expressed by local observers as to whether ground hogs in this area, otherwise knonvvn as woodchucks, could muster many union members since the animals are a rarity this far south. Several years ago an action similar to the one proposed re sulted in violence when a group of weather forecasters and alma nac publishers attempted to cross a groundhog picket line for shadow observation. Trouble began when the picket busters in sulted union members by reciting "How Much Wood Can A Wood chuck Chuck." Should the stay-in strike materialize weather bureaus will be requested to issue extra advisories during the next few weeks to fill the gap created by the absence of the customary jjroundhos prediction. . -4- -js? f.. . -$trv IT. - SATTERWHITE BURIES HEAD IN COURT Charged With Arson For Recent Rash Of UNC Fires Bottle-Smashing Youth Turns To Fire Setting Richard Satterwhite, who earlier in his life relieved built up tensions by breaking bottles and driving his car, turned lately to setting fires.

Satterwhite said he thought it was the house of "Dr. Hayden," presumably Dr. Glen Hayden, chair man of the "Music Dept. He also said that his name was Satterwhite. Satterwhite was leaving when Mrs. Carmichael asked again who he was, asked for some identification, and threatened to call the police.
