Trailer Gamp Area
Will Be Enlarged,
Plans Provide
50 Additions
Engineers Repeat
Former Procedure
The University's trailer park on
the Pittsboro highway is having to be
extended because of the many appli
cations for space. In the last few
weeks, more and more married veter
ans have resorted to trailers for liv
ing quarters because of the housing:
crisis. .
50 Additional Trailers
The University's present plan is to
provide space for 50 trailers in addi
tion to the 42 now in the park. Most
of the extension will be "southward
toward West University Drive, with
a few trailers being placed near the
west edge of the lot and near the
north edge toward the fraternity
houses.
The extension will necessitate the
construction of a second utility house
containing lavatories and clothes
washing facilities. This will probably
be placed between the present house
and West University Drive.
Repeating Procedure
University engineers are repeating
their procedure of last spring when
they laid out the present park. They
are making a survey for the purpose
of locating electric light lines, water j
pipes, sewer outlets, and jjramage
ditches.
An architect is. drawing plans for
the new house, following the design
of the first house.

Durham Court Order Forces
Eviction of UNC Veteran
George F. Taylor, veteran paratrooper of several Pacific cam
paigns, was assured yesterday of the complete support of the Uni
versity Veterans' Association in his fight to retain a garage-apart
ment in Durham from which the Durham Recorder's court is seek
ing to evict him. The Daily Tar Heel is in complete accord with
the UVA and Taylor, and desires to acquaint its readers with the
situation by printing the facts editorially as follows:
This is the still unfinished story of a war hero who has returned to college.
George Francis Taylor, 'from Richlands, entered the service on February 6,
1943. He received his discharge on November 25, 1945. A member of the
511 Parachute Regiment, 11th Airborne Division, Taylor saw action in New
Guinea, Philippines, Leyte, Okinawa, and Japan. He received the purple
heart three times, was awarded the silver star for bravery in combat during
the Leyte campaign.
Married, Taylor has a two-year-old daughter. He tried to enter the
University of Nortn Carolina in January, '46, but couldn't find a place
to live with his wife and daughter and was not admitted.
Following an extensive search, Taylor found one room with kitchen
privileges at $12 per week in Durham. The 21-year-old veteran moved
in with his family and started attending the University here in March
of this year.
Taylor's landlady asked him to move so that a relative might come to visit
her. The ex-GI moved out, the relative arrived, stayed one week. The land
lady rented the room to a single man.
During this time the Taylors became acquainted with Rex B. Jarrell, man
ager of the Diamond Feed Store in Durham, who lives at 1307 Maryland
Avenue. Jarrell had built a new garage with an apartment above it in place
of an old garage which had collapsed. The new construction had been ap
proved by the building inspector.-
' The apartment is located in Zone A in Durham. A city ordinance forbids
apartments in Zone A except those for domestic servants. Jarrell made an
arrangement with the Pacific veteran that let Taylor have the apartment if
he would help maintain the grounds and if Mrs. Taylor would help Mrs. Jar
rell with 'the housework and her (Mrs. Jarrell's) four children.
Such an agreement was readily acceptable to Taylor, whose main desire
was to have a place for his wife and child to live while he attended the Uni
versity. : "
The ex-paratrooper, who commutes daily to classes here while living in the
garage-apartment, was summoned to the Durham Recorder's court Wednes
day as a witness in a case charging Jarrell with a violation of the city build
ing code.
The charge against Jarrell was that of having violated a section of
the Durham Zoning Ordinance which states: No building to be used as a
dwelling or tenement house shall be constructed or altered in the rear of .
or moved to the rear of a building situated on the same lot."
BUT, a clause in the same section of the ordinance reads: "These pro
visions shall not be construed, however, as preventing the erection, al-
teration, and maintenance of dwelling quarters in connection with an

Education Centers for Vets Increased
State Registration
Begins on July 22
By Sally Woodhull
Educational opportunities for vet
erans and non-veterans alike will be
increased this fall in North Carolina
ty a unique program establishing col
lege centers throughout the state, ac
cording to Russell Grumman, head of
the Extension division of the Uni
versity and secretary of the steering
committee of the Governor's committee
on veterans' education.
Sponsored by the North Carolina
College conference and the North
Carolina Negro College conference,
the program is an attempt to alleviate
the over-burdening of colleges in the
state by offering courses of first year
college level in late afternoon and
eveniner classes.
Statewide preliminary registration time
for courses in English, mathematics,
social science, languages, and natural
sciences will be held July 22 and 23
at offices of city and county superin
tendents of schools. The final num
ber of centers to be established will
depend upon results of this registra
tion, but at present it is planned to
have "on-campus" centers at nine
white colleges and eght Negro col
leges, and "off-campus" centers in 17
cities throughout the state.
The Greater University of North
Carolina will conduct "off -campus"
centers for white students, and sev
eral Negro colleges will operate those
for Negro students. These centers
will, in most cases, be conducted in
local high school buildings, with fac
ulty drawn from high school teachers
holding masters degrees and other
qualified persons in the community.
Instructors will be hired on a part-
basis, and their teacning xime
Campus Programs
Begin This Fall
will be limited, Mr.' Grumman said, in
order to secure the best quality of in
struction possible.
"On-campus" centers, which will be
conducted by the institutions where
they are located, will start with the
opening of the fall term at these in
stitutions. "Off-campus" centers will
start the week of September 23, 195.
Credits from all centers will be trans
ferable to the institution of the stu
dent's choice.
"This is a great opportunity for the
literally thousands of veterans who
cannot be accommodated by colleges
of the state to obtain their first year
of college work," Mr. Grumman said.
"If the program is successful, it will
probably be expanded to provide more
advanced courses." ,

Mason, graduate students and in
structors in piano, will present a re
cital of modern compositions for two
pianos Monday evening at 8:30 o'clock
in Hill hall.
Compositions to be presented, all of
which have been written since the turn
of the century, include the following:
"Prelude" to "Suite for Two Pianos,"
by Beryl Rubenstein; "Sonata," by
Paul Hindemith; "En Blanc et Noir,"
by Claude Debussy; "Sonata," by Igor
Stravinsky; "Les Songes," by Darius
Milhaud; and "Tarantelle," by Sergei
Rachmaninoff.
Livingston and Mason are appear
ing in Chapel Hill for the first time
since their return to the University
after discharge from the armed forces.
Both served overseas, Livingston as
a lieutenant in the Navy, and Mason
as an Army captain.
Non-Returning
Vets To Notify CRO
Veterans who are planning not
to register for the next term of the
summer quarter must notify the
Central Records Office (302 South)
and the Veterans Administration of
their intention to interrupt their
training.
Form letters for this purpose
may be obtained at the Veterans'
Advisor's office in 208 South build
ing. Upon their return to the Univer
sity in September or later veterans
must notify the Central Records
office on VA form 572, giving the
address to which they desire that
their checks be mailed.
Form 572 can be secured at the t
Veterans' Advisor's office or 119
Peabodjr.
The carrying out of this proce
dure is imperative if veterans wish
no delay in the resumption of their
subsistence checks upon their return.

ily plot at Defiance, Ohio.
A native of St. Charles, Missouri,
Dr. Kingsbury attended the Univer
sity of Akron. He received his Ph.D.
degree at Cornell in 1895; studied at
the' University of Freiburg in 1904;
and was awarded the degree of D.Sc.
at Bowdoin College in 1934.
46 Years at Cornell
His active career In the Cornell
faculty covered the period of 46 years
from 1895, when he was appointed a
fellow in neurology, to 1941 when he
retired. He became professor of his
tology and embryology in 1908.

groups.
The proposed apartments are to be
of the army barrack type and together
the buildings will contain 178 individ
ual units, each composed of four
rooms. On the other hand, the single
houses measure 23 feet by 20 feet and
also have four rooms.
Roads Built
Already two roads have been con
structed for the convenience of the
married veterans and their wives who
would live in the apartments. Water
and sewerage lines have been finished
and locations for the 22 buildings have
been cleared.
The difficulty of providing adequate
facilities seriously hampers accept-
j ance of the offer of the single houses.
Also tnere is not one-halt enough ade
quate space for their construction, au
thorities pointed out.
No information as to whether the
Atlanta office's proposal will be re
fused or accepted is available at
present.
Work Progressing
University authorities report that
although they would probably be able
to get more residences for married
veterans and provide adequate trailer
facilities, they are unable to find con
venient locations within walking dis
tance of the University where con
struction would be possible.
Work on the pre-fabricated apart
ments now being constructed on the
Mason Farm Road shows excellent
progress. The apartments are ex
pected to be ready for occupancy in
September.

Succession Bill Passed
By Student Legislature
Notebooks Authorized for AH Members;
Bill for Summer Adjournment Defeated
By Hill Wolfe
f Meeting Thursday night in Gerrard hall, the student legislature
unanimously passed a bill fixing the order of succession to the
presidency of the, student body in the event that both the presi
dent and vice-president should ever drop out of school or be in
capacitated. The bill provides that if this should ever occur the
chairman of the student council would serve as interim president
until a special campus election could i-
be held.
Charlie Fulton and Pete Pully
spoke against the student council ap
propriations bill and urged that it be
tabled until a later date because of
the uncertainty of student council ac
tivity during the next year. The bill
was defeated by a close vote.
Legislators' Notebooks
A bill was passed authorizing the
purchase of 50 notebooks for use by
members of the legislature. The legis
lature also passed a bill in which it
recommends to the University that
men students be allowed to wear their
own swim trunks in the outdoor pool.
A proposal by Al Lowenstein in
which he asked that the men's dormi
tories be equipped with a telephone
on every floor was referred to the
ways and means committee. Another
of his proposals was referrd to the
elections committee. He urged that
in future elections, party, affiliations
of the candidates be printed on all
ballots.
Adjournment Defeated
Declaring that the legislature did
not have enough business to warrant
weekly meetings throughout the re-
Imainder of. the summer, Charlie Ful
ton introduced a measure recommend
ing that it adjourn, until the opening
of the fall quarter in September.
The bill was defeated after Jim Tay
lor, in a lengthy talk, said, "I cannot
see student government voluntarily
folding up for six weeks at such a
critical period in its fight for recognition."
