It will be com pleted by April 15. ine project was originally scheduled for a hall in the Upper or lower quad, but this would have involved preempting a three-man room. The antici pated overcrowding next year made this impossible at the present time. Ia making the announcement, Carson cited the cooperation of the administration, especially Chancellor William B. Aycock and Business 'Manager J. A. (Branch. "It should be emphasized," Carson said, "that this project is by no means a philanthropy la behalf of Joyner. The resi dents will have the tremendous responsibility of properly using and caring for the room, and ilts condition depends upon whether r not the Adminuistration will be Milling to use funds for other residence halls in the future." CAREERS 'Careers for Carolina," a pro gram designed to give UNC stu dents aware of the opoprtuni lies of public service, will start operations Friday. The one-day program, to be held March 6, is open to 25 freshmen, 50 sophomores and 25 juniors. It is on a first-come, first-served basis. Friday will be the first day for sign-up. Quarterly Owes The Carolina Quarterly will ot receive a subsidy next year from Student Government's bud get unless more interest is shown in the publication, budget committee chairman Dick Akers said yesterday. The Quarterly showed a loss of $205 last year after it was allot ted $1755 in the budget. This year it received $1905, but Akers reported the magazine ex pects to double its losses. "The Quarterly is behind sche dule in publication and down in its number of advertisements," Akers said. He attributed the difficulty to 'a general lack of interest on campus and among the Quarter ly staff. "We hope by taking away the money, interest in the magazine svill revive," he said. "If a re vival of interest occurs, then Student Legislature can allot them more money; they have from now until May to do so."

The statement, initiated by Student Party Chairman Paul Dickson and Student Body Vice President Bob Spearman, was sent to the Editors of the DTH. The statement reads: "We the undersigned members of Carolina's oldest and leading political parties feel that it is our responsibility to take a stand on the present civil rights situation in Chapel Hill. "The racial situation in Chapel Hill is of such pressing impor tance that we feel it imperative that students take meaningrul and effective action. "We feel that the recent form of civil disobedience in Chapel Hill is net rational, it is not ef fective and it has served to in crease high tensions in the en tire community. "In the past, Student Govern ment has been active in secur ing equal opportunities for all students by promoting the inte gration of Kenan Stadium and urging the integration of. the downtown theaters. "We . recognize . that at the present time business establish ments have the legal right to choose their clientele. So may the students legally choose to patronize the businesses whose policies they wish to support. ' We feel the situation is akin to that of a manufacturer who exploits child labor in the ab sence of regulatory legislation. It is his legal right to do so; however, it is our right and re sponsibility not to support those businesses of which we disap prove.

The Inter-Class Council will sponsor a Leap Year Dance Fri day night following the fresh man basketball game, and it's permissible (though not manda tory) for the girls to ask the boys. The Fabulous Five will play for the dance, which will be held in the Women's Gym from 8:30 to 12:30. Admission will be $1 per couple. "We thought the girls should have an opportunity to get their dates for a change," a spokes man for the council said. ""Be sides, why not let them bear the expense for once?" The spokesman, a male, wishedj to remain anonymous. He did say, however, that it was still perfectly permissible for boys to get dates "if they think the girls aren't going to ask them." The sponsoring organization, the Inter-Class Council, is com posed of certain officers of the four classes. Its main functions are to co-ordinate class activi ties to prevent conflicts and to assume responsibility for proj ects too large for the individual classes. Woody Harrison, who is cur A i K ft 7 : Capias Is Issued For Dunne, Profs John Dunne, chairman of the Chapel Hill Freedom Commit tee, and five Duke University professors were arrested yester day when they failed to appear in Orange County Superior Court. However, the charges were later dropped by Judge C. W. Hall when the six paid $4, the cost of issuing the capias. Hall also issued a capias for 15 other persons who failed to appear in court. The Orange County Sheriff's Department has not been able to locate the 15. The arrests and subsequent re leases came on the heels of com plaints from local civil rights leaders who say the court cases have not been individually dock eted. Rights leaders say that many students are missing valuable classroom time because they have to be in court whether or not their cases are scheduled. Pat Cusick, member of the lo cal Freedom Committee, said an attempt would be made to have presiding Judge Raymond Mal lard draw up a specific calendar showing when each of the cases is scheduled. FILM SOCIETY FOLDS Due to poor ticket sales, the University Film Society has been forced to cancel its 1964 spring program. Ticket refunds may be secured at Graham Memorial or by calling 967-1741. rently heading the organization, said this week's dance is de signed to lead to greater coop eration between the classes in the future. "We are also working on sev eral other projects, including a Faculty-Student gathering with discussion topics, an information service concerning the various departments of the University, and an Inter-Class calendar of events," Harrison said. He also announced that the four classes would share the ex pense of Friday's dance, and that each class had assumed the responsibility of certain ele ments of the project. "We feel that this dance will do a lot to promote better class relations," Harrison concluded. "So far they have divided the responsibilities well, and we feel certain that the dance will be a good one, especially with a combo like the Febulous Five." SSL DELEGATION The UNC delegation to this year's State Student Legisla ture will meet today at 5 p.m. in Roland Parker III to finalize transportation plans for dele gates and alternates. Dates of the session are tomorrow through Saturday in Raleigh. Everyone who plans to attend is required to come to the meet ing.

Photo by Jeffrey Dick Cusick said that some of the students may flunk out of school if they miss many classes. How ever, if they don't show up for court, they risk forfeit of bond and possible contempt "of court charges.- o Bar the doors! That's exactly what the UNC administration may have to do soon, as the applications for ad mission to these hallowed halls are flooding into South Building at a record rate. "We just don't have enough dormitory space," President William Friday said Monday. "And the problem is going to get worse. "Many qualified students are not going to be admitted." As of this weekend, some 10,500 applications had been filed, and the Office of Admis sions expected another six thou sand. Only 4,000 places are available. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC G) is experiencing similar dif ficulties, with applications run ning well above 20 per cent higher than last year. The Raleigh branch (UNC-R) figure is 18. per cent above last year's total. The UNC president made it clear that North . Carolina . stu dents would have a "clear pri ority" over those from out of state as in the past. "We intend to continue this policy of admit ting North Carolina residents," he said, "but it will be contin gent on expansion of facilities and aditional personnel commen surate with growth." He also made it clear, however, that all applicants could not be accepted. "It is clear that the univer sity will not be able to accept all applicants," he said, "including some who stand above minimum requirements for admission bas ed on class standing and college board scores. We do not have the necessary class rooms, dormitory or laboratory space to accommo date all applicants. We fear this problem will worsen in the next several years." Friday pointed out "the urgent need to get on with the job of establishing more comprehensive community colleges in our cities and counties J' He also cited the need for expansion to four-year institutions the colleges at Ashe ville, Charlotte and Wilmington, along with the encouragement of the growth and expansion of church-related and private insti tutions.

Clay came dancing out into the bell rang for the seventh round. Watching across the ring, he apparently . realized that Uston was unable to continue. " Then referee Barney Fleix sig nalled the fight was over. In his corner, Liston, suffering the first knockout of his career, said, "I just couldn't go on. I was hit in the first round and it kept getting worse all the time." Clay, a 7-1 underdog, amazed the 8,000 fans in the Miami Beach Convention Hall by not only wea thering the champion's heaviest punches but by giving him a box ing lesson in some of the rounds.

Butner Hospital Benefits From Campus Chest Dollars One thousand six hundred men tally retarded patients at the Murdoch Center in Butner will be aided by Campus Chest funds. This institute is one of four such state supported centers in Norm Carolina and the cost of running these ceiters is about $1800 per patient each year. The most any parents pay for this care is $80 a month, and most parents do not pay anything. Donations received from or ganizations such as Campus Chest are used to buy chemicals, supplies, and small equipment for the laboratories. In the last year researchers at Murdoch have discovered another of the causes of mental illness, but have not yet found its cure. One of the causes of mental illness for which a cure is known is phenylketenuria. Test ing a baby for this in the first few weeks of his life costs less than 50c and a special diet can prevent mental illness from this cause. Caring for patients in whom the disease was not discovered-early enough costs the .Kin Lincoln High Won't Admit 2 Walkouts The Chapel Hill School Board refused to readmit two Negro students expelled from Lincoln High School folowing a walk out. The students were protest ing racial discrimination within the school system. The board left any further de cision on readmission of these students to Dr. Howard E. Thomp son, superintendent of Chapel Hill schools. The decision came after Thompson told the Board, "If the boys are admitted through a mo tion by the Board, I will resign." Thompson, in a statement to the DTH said that the decision was outside the jurisdiction of the Board. "I feel," Thompson said, "the decision is not in the area with which the Board is concerned. "It is clearly an administra tive matter. That is what they hried me for when they hired a superintendent." Dr. Thompson said the other participants in the boycott are being allowed to return to school and to make up the work they have missed. Dr. Thompson said these students had not been ex pelled as had the other two. state an average of $150,000 per patient. The "children" at Murdoch are six years old and up. They live at the Center, although some of them go home for weekends or vacations. Many of the patients have I.Q.'s between 60 and 70. Each year from six to 12 of this group are able to leave the center and find work. One now works as a beautician's assistant, another helps on the staff at Murdoch and many are employed as farm hands. Many of the children are phy sically, as well as mentally, handicapped. When Miss Ann Cleary, a physical therapist, first came to Murdoch over two years ago, many of her patients were literally on the floor. To day mast of these children can walk or use a wheel chair, or both. These children learn to paint, to sew, and to spell. They know where to find their blocks, books, and musical instruments. They : are taugLt "to become masters of their own environment." Photo by Jim Wallace.
