classes at Howard University were
cut last Monday as the entire stu

mand properly prepared meals and
adequate shipment for the football
team.
The strike began with the football
players themselves when the entire
team refused to play the traditional
game with Virginia University on
the preceding Saturday. The man.
agement was forced to refund the
money of thousands of fans who
had gathered for the classic. Play
ers charged that they had been
poorly fed, and that many of them
had been forced to subsist on bor-
r0Wed money and on a diet OF hot
dogs.
Hundreds of students milled over
the campus all day refusing to go to
classes, while pretty co-eds braved
the chill air to picket the entrances
to all buildings from z a. m. on
throughout the day.
Despite the school spirit and gai-
ETY. that prevailed, most Of the stu
dents were aware of the serious is
sues underlying their action. A
