Village's Bill Passed
At Legislature Meet
By NEIL BASS
The much-argued. Victory Vil
lage elections bill was passed 23-4
at a drawn-out legislative session
Thursday night. The four oppos
ing votes were by University Par
ty leaders.
The gist of the bill was simply
that the Villagers requested the
University Elections Board to car
ry out voting procedures for the
veteran's settlement Board of Di
rectors at the same time that the
residents voted for student gov
ernment officers.
Student Party legislators were
solidly behind the measure and it
appeared to be on the rosy road

She and her staff 'are responsible

ferring to the motives of the leg
islation. Webb, in so many words, accus
id Villagers of hanging onto the
shirtails of tbt student body to
get out a larger vote of its folk.
He said that they "lack interest."
All this followed on- the heels of
a statement by Dan .Wallace, a
member of the Village Board of
Directors, that they merely wanted
to have both their elections at the
same time to save time.
David Reid (SP) defended the
bill, and perhaps it was his speech
calling Webb an "attacker" which
encouraged several of the indeci-

Creasy yesterday announced a cod
ification of the student body Con
stitution. It is the first correct
one to be made since 1950,' Creasy
said.
Creasy said that codification in
volves "including amendments that
have been passed and approved
since 1950, and in general, bring
ng the Constitution up to date. The
basic elements of the Constitution
have not been changed.
Last semester Creasy appointed
Jim Turner to study the old Con
stitution and propose changes, in
cluding the amendments that have
been passed since 1950. With the
help of Miss . Pat McBane, who
helped with the technical work
involved, the revision was complet
ed.' After the new constitution was
put in , order, it was turned over
to an approving committee com
posed of Creasy, Rueben Leonard,

Creasy said, "I am very happy
with the results. It's something we

years. Pat McBane and Jim Turner

House On
In his discussion of the poem
"Lycidas" with Dr. , Macon
Cheek's class on ' John Milton
yesterday, Chancellor It. B.
House covered everything from
presenting the poem's theme on
a modern basis to the descrip
tion of some of the poem's .lines
as "sort of an Arboretum move
ment here."
Chancellor House's lecture on
the poem was by ho means his
first. The custom of inviting Jiim
to discuss and interpret the
poem was begun some 20 years
ago by Dr. George Taylor.
("Lycidas" is the poem which
Milton wrote following the death
of his friend Edward King and
which was included in a vol
ume commemorating his death.)
In his. lecture on the poem
the Chancellor said that its au
thor was "one of the greatest
intellectual and moral powers"
of the world and the "greatest
in our own language."
He said the question which
the poem treats, that of the

30 Feet: 5 Hours
Gentleman walked up to the general delivery window of the
local post office yesterday and told potsman on duty this story:
"I came in here this morinng and mailed a letter, to myself. I
put it in the local slot at 7:30 this morning. Here it is, 12:30 p.m.;
and you haven't put the letter in my box yet." The gentleman's
mai lbox was about 30 feet form the mail slot.
"I don't know," allowed the postman. "They're supposed to
collect the mail from the slot every hour or so.
. "This has happened before, and it'll happen again," the post
man said.
, The gentleman looked at his watch. "That's five hours," he no
ted. "What we need is to get the Democrats back in office."
"I reckon you're right," the postman agreed. '
Dorm Shortage
Termed 'Acute7
The Visiting Committee of the
Board of Trustees said in its an
nual report that the shortage - of
dormitory rooms here has "be
come acute." '
At Chapel Hill 2,804 students
are occupying rooms meant to ac
comodate 2,484 by putting three
irt. a room, says the report. Some
200 rooms "are needed to meet ex-T
isting: needs, the committee said.
The situation concerning hous-'
ing for married students is much
worse, added the report. There
are 1,300 married students here;
Victory Village has 352 units,
"dhapel Hill simply is not equip
ped to accomodate the remainder
satisfactorily," says the report.
-The report continues, "The mar
ried student and his wife are mak
ing a great effort to obtain an
education ; '....The state in turn
should help them, if possible, by
providing adequate, low-rent
housing."

planation the Chancellor said
;that today the problem is "What

"to make a good record in col
lege with the draft breathing
down your neck?"
In describing the two lines
of Milton's poem which read
"To sport with Amaryllis in
the shade,
Or with the tangles of
Neaera's hair?"
Chancellor House painted a
more modern picture of thet
words by calling the scene a
"sort of an Arboretum move
ment here."
The Chancellor displayed a
'wide knowledge of Greek my
thology by explaining several of
Milton's allusions to Greek gods
and goddesses.
He described "Lycidas" as
"one of the greatest poems of
western litrature" in its use of

that he had uncancelled checks to

The matter was first called to

The Board of Trustes will meet
Monday at 11 a.m. in the Hall of
the House in Raleigh. Each mem
ber of the Board has received a
copy of the Visiting Committee's
report.
The report for the year 1955,
lists the topic, "Students' Auto
mobiles," under the general title,
"Matters Affecting the Whole Un
iversity." 'Members of the Visiting Com
mittee who compiled the report
are Mrs. Ed Anderson, West Jef

B. Ferebee, Andrews;
R. L. Harris, Roxboro; John Lar

tor Bryant (chairman), Durham..
THE REPORT
The report states that at State
College, "44.6 percent of all su
dents have registered automobiles
with the college authorities; at
Chapel Hill, 21.3 percent have
registered the possession of cars.
"The officials at Chapel Hill be
lieve that their records of regis
tration are incomplete," the re
port says.
"When total numbers are consi
dered," according, to the report,
"the size of the traffic and park
ing problem becomes apparent im
mediately. There are 1,932 student-owned
automobiles at Ral
sigh; 1,492 at Chapel Hill.
"More important, of course, is
the question of the effects of au
tomobiles on the academic work
and general behavior of the stu
dents. This influence may be
2specially critical with respect to
mderclassmen. At Chapel Hill, 17.3
percent of all freshmen and soph
mores have automobiles. At
State College, 42.8 percent of the
freshmen and sophomores have au
tomobiles," the report states.
Further, "A hard and fast pro
hibition of automobiles is unlike
ly to be effective. Aquitable en
forcement would be almost impos
sible. Nor does it seem reasonable
'.o deny some married students and
graduate and professional students
he right to have automobiles. In
addition many students of all
classes use their cars in commuting-
,
"The Visiting Committee does
recommend, however, that the
idministration attempt to improve
he regulation of the use of cars &
hat it consider seriously he
question of possession of automo
biles by undergraduates, particu
arly by those living on or near
he campus."
ESSENTIAL DETAILS
The report listed "essential de
ails of the registration of stud
mts' automobiles" at Chapel Hill
is follows; 1
Out of 2,615 freshmen and soph
mores: 466 cars.
Out of 1,859 juniors and sen
ors: 439 cars.
Out of 1,587 graduate and pro-
