Taylor, University vet eran threatened this summer with eviction from his Durham apartment, is today living in the apartment and is assured of being allowed to stay there until court convenes in December. Taylor, a veteran with a wife and two-year-old daughter, was living in an apartment owned by Rex B. Jar- rell in Zone A of the Durham residen tial section. A city ordinance forbids apartments in Zone A except for ser vants, so Taylor and his wife arrang ed to trade a few hours of work each day with the Jarrell children and grounds in exchange for the apart ment. After an unidentified neighbor ac cused Jarrell of violating the ordi nance last July, Taylor stood m dan ger of losing his home. A wave of public resentment spark ed by the Daily Tar Heel, the Univers ity Veteran's Association, Durham veterans' groups and various state newspapers reached its peak when Judge A. H. Borland decided that the help the Taylors gave with their land lord's children and grounds was not enough to classify them as domestic servants. The decision was appealed to a higher court which will not meet until December.

With as many reserved seats as desired available in the 60,000-capacity Baltimore Municipal Stadium and a Southern Railway special train scheduled, all now necessary to make the caravan a fact is student response Harland Gets National Post Dr. J. P. Harland, popular profes sor of archaeology in the Classics de partment, was recently elected Record er of the Archaeological Institute of America. He received the honor while at a recent- business meeting of the institute at Boston. A native of Wenonah, N. J., Dr. Harland is a graduate of Princeton University.

Shepard an nounced today that arrangements have been made to provide certain medical services to wives of student veterans. These services will be made avail able, he said, upon the payment of the regular student's medical fee of $5.00 per quarter. This fee is to be paid at the office of the cashier dur ing registration period. The card issued in the name of the veteran's wife should be presented to the infirmary whenever she reports for medical service. Wives of married veterans who are also enrolled as regular students will already have paid the fee and are en titled to medical service on the same basis as any other student, without having to secure the card as above outlined. to the Athletic Association's invitation. A block of 500 reserved seat tickets for the game, due to arrive in Chapel Hill tomorrow, will be placed on sale in Woollen Gym Thursday and Fri day from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at $3.75 each. At this time students will be asked to indicate whether they desire railroad accommodations. Leave Friday, Return Saturday The Carolina special is due to leave Raleigh at 7:45 p.m. and Durham at 8:45 p.m. October 18, and will ar rive in Baltimore at 7:00 a.m. the next morning. The train will leave Baltimore for the return trip at 9:00 Saturday night, arriving in Durham at 7:30 a.m. Sunday. Round trip coach fare is $15.02. First class rate is $20.98, with pullman accommodations I beginning at $5.06 for an upper berth. According to District Passenger Agent J. S. Bloodworth, the Sou thern system will send a special agent to Chapel Hill to sell tickets for the train if a sufficient number of stu dents indicates a desire for railroad ac commodations during ticket sale Thursday and Friday. Otherwise stu dents will have to purchase their accomodations at Durham. May Give Extra Bus Service It was indicated that the Uni versity may arrange for overflow bus service to Durham Friday even ing and Sunday morning. Already 1500 reserved seat tick ets to Baltimore Municipal Stadium have been sold to students, alumni, and other Tar Heel fans since they were placed on sale June 1. And ad ditional seats beyond the 500 already ordered will be obtained if necessary, reported Vernon B. Crook, office man ager of the Athletic Association. "It will not be like the oldtima football caravans in one respect," said Coach Bob Fetzer, Director of Athletics, "because we aren't getting special rates for our special train." He continued that "response from the student body Thursday and Friday will not only determine the size of the Navy trip but will also show us how to plan for a caravan to Knoxville for the Tennessee game." Only 90 Left But, says Fetzer, any trip to Knoxville will be complicated by lack of seats at that game. Nearly 1000 tickets have already been sold here, with only 90 left. If the Navy trip is a success more Tennessee seats will be ordered.
