To Alleviate Desperate Situation Between six and seven hundred additional veterans are expected to appty for' admission in the University for the spring quarter beginning March 22, which would bring the veteran enrollment here to near 2,300, Harry E. Comer, secretary of the YMCA, told the Chapei Hill Kivvanians at Students and Labor Confer V Student Conference Supports Laborers The Carolina Student and La bor Conference, sponsored by the campus chapter of the com mittee for North Carolina, SCH W, last Wednesday passed two resolutions calling for partial reneal of the excess profits tax and supporting "labor's present struggle to gain a decent stan dard of living". Thirty- students from Duke, Shaw, St. Augustine, Fayette- ville State Teachers College, N. C.C.N., and Womens College participated with about one hun dred Carolina students in an afternoon panel discussion, with C.I.O. and A.F.L. representa tives. The first resolution asks that the carry-back provisions of the excess profit tax which "tends to make it profitable for corpora tions iandtcompanies to prolong collective bargaining to the fi nancial detriment of labor groups ' should De repealed in sofar as it applies to profits lost durinsr work stoppages and strikes." The second resolution put the Conference on record in support of "labor's present struggle to gain a decent standard of living and to uphold a free, democratic America." It recognizes the "loy- alty and on the ,-ob rec0rd un- equalled in anv free country" of American labor during the war, Local Red Cross Chapter Requests VYilllll'f'PPl AiHp Lib Henderson, chairman of 'the student division of the Chapel Hill chapter of the American Red Cross, has is sued a call for coeds who will sew for the Red Cross in their spare time.

"Of the 1,632 veterans here now," he said, "438 have their wives with them, and there are an additional 238 wives back home and anxious to come to Chapel Hill." Requests Entered To help the desperate housing situation, Mr. Comer pointed out that the University has request ed 450 housing units from the government, but the allotment to date has been only 150. These houses, he said will go to vet erans only and will remain here as long as the veterans need them. A government representative is expected here momentarily to approve the selection of a site, to supervise erection and to ar range for utilities which will be provided by the University. He said rent would be about $30 per month, including light and water. Four To A Room As a measure of the crowded population in Chapel Hill, Secre tary Comer cited the fact that the facilities of the. village pro vided quarters for 963 out-of-town students in 1941 as against 530 in 1946. The campus load is very heavy: three and some times four students share a room originally designed for two. One hundred and thirty- four married veterans and their wives now occupy the old In- irmary and Whitehead and Alex ander dormitories. The dormi tories are needed for men stu dents and the couples will have to be displaced. Mr. Comer was of the opinion that the University's enrollment "could easily go to 10,000 if facilities were available.. The teaching facilities of the Uni versity now have a maximum capacity of 4,525. It is clear that some system of priority rating, quota allotments or a rigid plan of selectivity will haye to be adopted soon," he said.
