Four additional town house units
were not constructed this summer
when male students did not exercisa
their option to reserve housing for
the fall semester/ according to col
lege president Dr. Fred Bentley.
Originally ten units were planned,
but when no need for additional
housing arose Bentley could not
esk the board of trustees for the
money.
In a letter to the students Bent-
ey said “If men had made proper
reservations for fall semester hous
ing, we would have built the town-
houses." He went on to say “If
•here is a justification that there is
a need for these townhouse units
for next fall, we will build them.”
Dean of student development. Dr.
Donald Gehring, recently gave an
idea of what life will be like for
same regulations that apply in the
the women in the townhouses, “The
other residence halls will apply in
the townhouses, and that the future
of the townhouses may very well
depend on how responsible the
residents are.”
Each unit will house eight women
and will elect a representative to
the womens council. There will be
college, who will be responsible for
one resident assistant, hired by the
maintaining the guidelines set by
the college and the residents.
The residents of the townhouses
will, in the fall, able to decide
whether or not to have men in the
living room area of their unit. The
policy as it stands now will allow
men in the living room area from
noon until a half hour before clos
ing time, as in the other halls. Each
unit will be allowed to adjust this
time accordingly, with the excep
tion that men have to be out by
the normal closing time, Gehring
said.

Resignations during the summer
caused changes in the leadership
of two of the four major student
communications media on campus
for the coming year. The radio sta
tion, WMHC, has a new general
manager; and the yearbook, the
Laurel, needs a new editor.
Karl Brady, junior from Asheville
who was named general manager
of the radio station during the
spring by the Board for Student
Communications Media, had “greet
ings” from his draft board shortly
after commencement in May. He
managed to get active duty with
the Navy rather than the Army, but
he will not be enrolled for the fall
semester.
Acting to fill the vacancy in the
leadership of the station, the board
chose Roy Gullick Jr., of Greenville,
S.C., for the job. A veteran on the
staff of the station, Gullick was the
only other applicant for the mana
ger’s post when the board made its
initial decisions during the spring.
