UNC Delegate Terms Student Meeting
'Miniature United Nations Assembly'
By Bill Sexton
Characterizing the 1946 World Student Congress at Prague as
a "miniature United Nations assembly," UNC Delegate Jimmy
Wallace last night reported to the students he represented that
"the conference accomplished its major objective . . . the forma
tion of an International Student ? 1 :
union."
He told how the 300 students from
40 nations went on record for world
government, set up organization of
the new world student federation
with headquarters in Prague, and de
termined to reassemble in three
years.
Noted "Eternal Disagreement"
The Carolina delegate, one of 15
representing the United States at the
August session, noted "eternal dis
agreement" between Catholic mem
bers from all countries and the repre
sentatives of the Communist coun
tries. "Their wrangles," he said, "con
stantly threatened to impair the
whole conference." But Wallace added
that the students were able to com
promise successfully "at the expense
of great effort."
Comparing the Prague conference
with other international assemblies,
Wallace declared, "The Russian dele
gation was intelligent and coopera
tive. It voted unanimously on all

Housing Agency.
Say Lower Rents Possible
Since the housing project. is run
on a non-profit basis, the married
veterans contend that lower rents
than are now in effect can be charged
and still cover operating costs of the
development. They also claim that the
present .rental differential operates
unfairly in that students who are
forced to work or have their wives
work to supplement their G.I. sub
sistence must pay higher rents than
non-working students who have other
financial sources to draw upon.
As an outcome of today's confer
ence, interested parties of the Uni
versity hope to get a revision of ren
tal regulations so that rents are based
on size of the house rather than in
come of the occupant.

"voted with the Russian delegation
95 of the time."
"The three contingents of the In
dian delegation (Moslem, Hindu, and
Communist) never agreed unless it
was to disagree with the British mem
bers," he reported.

cil, explained the organization which

International Union of Students.

To Pass Bill
The second AVC meeting of the
quarter got underway Tuesday eve
ning with the formation of a three
point legislative program to be pushed
when the state legislature meets in
Raleigh this January.
Adopted in a resolution passed by
the 60 members, the chapter will add
its efforts to those groups interested
in forwarding a health bill as recom
mended by the State Medical Care
Commission, a minimum wage and
hour law, and for general educa
tional improvements from elementary
to University levels.
Stress N. C. Improvement
The national policies committee,
after an investigation of possible bills
to be on the docket in January, said
that these three most probably would
be brought under consideration. The
chapter stressed the need of such
bills to improve the standard of liv
ing, education, and health of the
North Carolinians.
Progress of the co-op plans vas
discussed. Reports revealed that the
University administration thought it
unadvisable to take any action on the
matter at present. However, a letter
has been sent to the state Attorney
General as to the legality of such an
organization being permitted to use
University grounds.

in the "Tin Can," all of whom will be
assigned rooms in either Whitehead

The 27 newly completed apart
ments in "Victory Village" bring to
95 the number of occupied apart
ments there. When completed, the
"Village" (nicknamed by the stud
ents "Mudville") . will comprise a to
tal of 252 residential units. Now that
apartments have been provided for
married students, the administration
is rushing work on 46 pre-fabricated
United Kingdom houses for use by
faculty members. The houses, which
are individual four-room homes orig
inally built for the British under
lend-lease, will be ready for occupan
cy by November 1.
Quonset Huts Almost Complete
Moreover, 18 Quonset Huts are now
complete except for plumbing, and
if necessary can be used for housing
immediately as residents there would
have access to the bathing facilities
in the Lower Quad. However, hous
ing officials stated that everyone on
campus has an adequate room and
there would be no rush to assign
students to the Quonset Huts at this
time.
The 18 huts, which include two for
study halls and two for bathing,
will provide rooms for 280 students.
They are being reserved primarily
for students entering school next
term.
Summing up the over-all housing
situation, the housing officials stated
that "our period of cramped and
congested living is definitely at an
end."
The proposed Institute of
Pharmacy, shown at left, is
the object of a $100,000 drive
