Summer School Plans Take Shape
Applications for the two Uni
versity summer school sessions,
beginning June 9 and July 20,
are now being accepted, Director
Guy B. Phillips announced yes
terday. Male students who are plan
ning to attend cither or both of
these sessions should apply now
to James E. Wadsworth for
dormitory reservations. Miss
Katherine Carmichacl, dean of
women, is in charge of all dormi
tory assignments for women.
It is' anticipated that adequate
housing space will be available
in the various dormitories, private
homes and in the special veterans
units, Phillips said, "but they
should apply as early as possible
to assure space." -
Preference will be given to
graduate students, teachers, vet
lephones
pring
and Grimes. Tentative plans call
for new telephones to be installed
on the third floors of these dor
mitories. The dorms already have
phones on the first floor.
The additional telephones will
definitely not be connected to
two-party lines, Kilpatrick said.
Telephones are available now
and the lines have been installed
in the dormitories. The delay is
in the date of delivery of coin
boxes to be installed with the
instruments. Delivery of the coin
boxes is expected in April, and
installation of the phones will
proceed immediately thereafter,
according to Kilpatrick.
Plans are underway for install
ing an inter-communication sys
tem in one of the dormitories
which is divided into three sec
tions. If the project proves suc
cessful, the system will be ex
tended to the qther dorms. Those
affected would be Old West, Old
East, Steele, and Battle-Vance-Pettigrew.
The holdup on the inter
communication system is a
lack of phone booths and coin
boxes. There is one phone booth
available which will be installed
in Old East.
The Interdormitory council has
been working on the telephone
project since November.

British Note
To Hungary
Hints Action
May Investigate
Cardinal's Trial
LONDON, Feb. 10 (UP)
Great Britain warned Hungary
for the second time today that
it reserved the right to inves
tigate "any and every" act in
connection with the trial of
Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty which
might violate Hungary's peace
treaty.
Alexander K. Helm, British
minister in Budapest, delivered
the warning to the Hungarian
Foreign office in a note sent by
Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin.
Bevin also called Janos Eros,
Hungarian minister here, to the
Foreign office, handed him a copy
of the note, and rebuked him
sharply for his government's at
titude toward this country.
Britain warned Hungary Feb. 4,
in protesting against the exclu
sion of a British observer from
the Mindszenty trial, that it
reserved its rights under the
peace treaty.
Hungary summarily rejected
the British protest Feb. 7, and
charged Britain with trying to
aid "Fascist enemies of the Hun
garian Republic."
Bevin talked to Hungarian
Minister Eros about 30 minutes.
A Foreign office spokesman said
Bevin called Eros's attention to
the "extremely discourteous re
joinder of the Hungarian govern
ment to the reasonable and jus
tified request made by the Bri
tish government to have observers
at the "Mindszenty trial."
Bevin said also that the Bri
tish public and the press had
shown "strong feeling" about
the circumstances in which the
trial was conducted.
