The measure passed , by a. one vote margin, ,19-18. Audience interest became in tense as Dick Koral .assumed the rostrum.

The headlines in Tuesday's Daily Tar Heel read "Koral Chal lenged to Debate at Open Phi Meeting Tonight" and the King of England couldn't have drawn a more vociferous and enthusias tic audience. All the bleachers, cracker barrels, and. soap boxes the Phi had readied for the oc casion were firmly occupied be fore the circus began and the SRO sign drove many others away. ; Carolina's reputation as a lib eral institution was stretched to the limit as seemingly every rad mi UNITED PRESS Student Welfare Board Seeks Special Session Board Says Dorm Rooms Must Be Limited To Three Occupants for Health, Study Acting to prevent a disastrous over-crowding -in the University, the Student Welfare Board voted unanimously yesterday to peti tion the governor of North Carolina to call a special session of the General Assembly to consider appropriation of funds to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. c - - e- w J- 'm , 1 , s v " ' t f : m 1 h- - ?

Personalities were tossed (around like tennis balls, reputa tions were lived up to in some cases and fallen down on in oth ers and the sizable group on cam pus who enjoy occasional public exchanges of opinion had a field day. The fact that labor unions were being discussed was inci dental to the occasion and so was the fact that the assemblage voted to limit the power of said unions. Everyone had a big time calling each other names but it has been definitely recommended that Memorial Hall or Yankee Stadium be secured the next time the campus liberal element is in vited to participate. Governor Petitioned Newman Recital Open Debate NUMBER 62 The Board also vigorously turned down a proposal to place four students in each dormitory room. By a unanimous vote, the Board expressed an opinion that any increase in the present dor mitory capacity would endanger the health, study, and social life of the Carolina students. Jimmy Wallace, president of the Inter dormitory Council, pointed out the deplorable conditions exist ing in dormitories today, and said "we're packing in students like sardines." Dean C. P. Spru ill said that he favored limited enrollment, and suggested that great harm can result from an overtaxing of our present facili ties. Action Needed Now ' Douglass Hunt, speaker of the student legislature, said that the General Assembly of North Car olina was not fulfilling its obli gation to the University, and that other institutions were growing while Carolina is miss ing its best opportunity to de mand the things which we need for good education.
