Students Not
Cooperating
A report issued yesterday by the UNC Buildings and
t.rounds Committee pointed up recent University construe
t ion, work planned for the future, plans for married students'
housing-and also made the observation that there has been
,an easing lack of cooperation by the students in our
bcautification efforts."
"New seeding," said the report
erected as reminders are pushed
u""i fimecuve Doraers are
sliced through, and despite an
ample network of brick walks,
lawns are becoming crisscrossed
with foot paths."
- The committee said it would
"welcome help from any quarter"
in causing students to become
"more cooperative" in keeping the
University's grounds 'restful and
pleasing."
"" The report covered the year
April 1954-April 1955. It was
signed by R. J. M. Hobbs, chair
man of the Buildings and Grounds
Committee.
Hebbs report said detailed
plans are peing considered 0n the
building of the Ackland Building,
to be erected here to house an
art gallery and home for the Art
Dept.
GOVERNMENT
' The contract for the new In
stitute of Government building
was let "about the first of the
year and construction is pro
ceeding rapidly," said the report.
"A bid more favorable than an
ticipated permits the inclusion of
an auditorium which it had been
feared would have to be omitted,"
the report said.
All extension of the 'Utilities
Building on Franklin St., which
houses the University Laundry,
Chapel Hill Telephone Co. , and
other utilities, was approved at a
recent meeting, the report said.
The building is being extended on
the back side.
"The past year witnessed the
completion of the psychiatric
wing of the hospital and of the
remodled 'Old Well'," said the re
port. "Minor improvements in
clude some stone steps leading off
the driveway of the (Carolina)
Inn. the razing of a metal shed
back of Carroll Hall, landscaping
around Venable Hall and the
Naval Armory, additional brick
walks and new steps at the north
end of Graham Memorial.
"Another matter which has
claimed the attention of the com-
mittee has been the selection of
possible sites for additional dorm
itories and housing for married
students."

meeting is slated this afternoon
at 5 o'clock in the Yackety
Yack office in Graham Memor
ial. Editor Jack Markham has

of Trustees was told today , that
applications from five Negroes to
enter the University as under-
graduates have recently been re
jected.
Gordon Gray, president of the
Consolidated University, revealed
the information in a brief report.
He said the applications were re
jected in accordance with trus
tee policy that Negro students are
: eligible for admission only to
graduate and professional schools,
and then only when similar facili
ties are not available in the state
for the Negro race. '
The applications were from Ne
groes living in North Carolina,
and all were for admission at the
University at Chapel Hill.
The Executive Committe voted
to , recommend to the full Board
of Trustes that it raise Univer-
sity tuition for non-resident stu-
dents in line with recommenda -
lions ot tne General Assembly s

tee. The Legislature embodied the
subcommittee's report in the state
budget for the next-biennium.
' The trustees alsn' went" a!ftn

For Survey On
Credit Courses In TV
Slated For Chapel Hill
Credit courses in educational
(television have been planned for
all three branches of the Consoli
dated University, ' according to
Robert Schenkkan, director of
WUNC-TV operations here.
Schenkken's statement . yester
day came on the heels of an an
nouncement from Raleigh that
State College WUNC-TV will of-
fer colleee credit courses in solid
1 geometry and home floriculture
, next month.
Asked whether the new courses
had anything to do with a recent
wave of resignations at WUNC
TV, Director Schenkkan said "our
Church Group Votes
For AdmittingNegroes
A resolution affirming the "be--lief
that the applications of Negro
students for admission to UNC
should be considered equally with
other applications, and dealt with
on the basis of qualification, re-
i gardless of race" has been accept
ed by a majority vote at the meet
ing of the Westminster Fellow
ship. The resolution, which was pro
posed by the Christian Action
Commission of the Fellowship, al
so stated the group's belief "that
every effort should be made to
make all students feel accepted in
this academic community, and that
this Westminster Fellowship is
open to all students who through
worship, study and action would
here seek to come to a deeper
faith in Jesus Christ our Lord
and would find the relevance of
the Christian faith for their
lives."
According to a statement made
by Miss Martha Cannon, chair
man of the Christian Action Com
mission, the resolution specifical
ly concerned the recent refusal
of undergraduate admission to the
three Negro high school students
to UNC.
According to the group's reso
lution, the Presbyterian Church
went on record as affirming that
segregation of the races is not
in harmony with Christian princi
ples and ethics in 1954.

New Dorms
A survev of studpnf rminion
concerning new dormitories will
be presented to the administra
tion Committee on Student A
f fairs Thursday.
The new residences will be
built if a bill, authorizing the
Board of Trustees to issue reve
nue bonds, is passed by the Gen
eral Assembly. Action 6n the bill
is expected this week.
Jack Hudson, chairman of the
Interdormitory Council's Dorm
Improvements Committee and
member of the student Legisla
ture, asked yesterday that stu
dents inform him of their opin
ions on the dorms and the facili-
ties which would be built with the
money from the bond issue so
that he will be able to present the
students' opinions to the commit
tee on Thursday. He asked that
,uv...v v l. null III iiX, .A 1 1 A
ander,. at the IDC office or send
their ideas to The Daily Tar Heel.
Hudson said J. S. Bennett, di
rector of operations for the Uni
vprsitv, has listed four possibili
ties for thfi dorms which could
be built with the money. The first,
according to Hudson, would be a
men's dorm in the area of the
j North Carolina Memorial Hospit
; aL . Hudson said such a dorm
wouM he for medical, dental and
public health students and would
drain thm from the othr dorm
districts. He added that it would
possibly take the medical students
out of Whitehead.
The second possibility mention
ed by Bennett, according to Hud
son, would bo another lar?e men's
j dorm like Cobb. He said that such
j a dorm would be located near
! Cobb. Hudson added that a new
dorm of this type possibly would
be partitioned off like Old East
j A womPn.s 'Aorm tf) he bum ,n
the area betWPen McIver and M.
rierman was the third possibmty
1 menMoned hy Bennett, according
i0 Hudson.
a women's dorm in Battle Park
j was the fourth possibility for the
Jiew dorm, according to Hudson.
Hudson said if a women's dorm
were built, Carr and Smith would
probably be turned back to men's
dorms.
Hudson also asked that students
jive him their opinions on the in
side facilities which the new dorms
would have. Among the possi
bilities he mentioned were sound
proof rooms, floors made of rub
ber asphalt tile and fluorescent
lighting.
He asked that students inform
him of their ideas concerning di
mensions and facilities in social
and study rorvns for the dorms.
He also asked for student opinion
on the possibility of having a fac
ulty apartment included if the
dorm were one similar to Cobb.
He said that such an apartment
would house one faculty couple.
Hudson said such a setup exists at
State College in Raleigh and add
ed that, according to Dean
of Student Affairs there, they
have the best government and liv
ing conditions on campus.
Among other possibilities men
tioned by Hudson were dressers
built into the walls of the room
and towel racks in the rooms.
He asked that students inform
4iim of their opinions on these
suggestions and any ideas which
they have so that he may present
them to the committee on Thurs
day. Alpha Phi Omega Sets
