East, West, New
Dorms, Steele
Over 20 rooms in Old East,
Old West, Steele and Battle
Vance-Pettigrew dormitories are
being occupied by three men
each this fall as the. result of
crowded rooming conditions in
the village.
L. B. Rogerson, assistant con
troller of the University, stated
.yesterday that all residents of
the four men's dormitories have
, been given an opportunity to
"triangulate their rooms" and
help relieve Chapel Hill's near-
.acute housing problem.

Not So "Acute"
As Some Rumored
Sufficient Rooms Available In
Town To Accommodate
Overflow
The University's "acute"
rooming situation, the subject of
imuch speculation on the campus
recently, has not been so acute
after all, according to a compar
ison made between the number
of available rooms and the num
ber of applicants for rooms.
Although all dormitory rooms
. have been filled since the middle
? .of July, there are still a large,
. number of rooms available out
in town to accommodate the

Many Forced To Make
Rounds of Town
Concerns
Many Reassigned
Although a ruling from Wash
ington has reduced the number
of NYA j obs by one-third this
year, a total of 1490 applications
have been received at the self-
help office from students seek
ing financial aid.
Only 410 positions will be
available through Ed Lanier's
self-help committee. Over two
thirds of the hopeful appli
cants will be disappointed in
their search for jobs from that
office.
Unemployed
Other students seeking jobs
will be forced to make the
rounds of stores, cafes, and
homes in town. In trying for
jobs outside the control of the
Self-help bureau,, the newcom
ers will be in competition with
old students who have already
made contacts with employers.
. Of the 410 jobs assigned, 210
will be NYA work made pos
sible by federal funds and the
remainder will be supported by
the various University depart
ments. Reassignments
All students who were on
NYA last year will be reassign
ed if, their grades are satisfac
tory and their need for the jobs
continues. However, the ruling
requiring satisfactory academic
standing is being made steadily
more rigid to make it almost
impossible for students who do
