Where j31 j yous - . Y MARRIED STUDENT PAUL MAULTSBY after looking and lookiiig. he has a place Dy CHARLIE SLOAN "They told me it would be bad, but I didn't know it was this bad." These were the words of Paul Maultsby, a married veteran with one child. The words came when he was asked if he had anticipated a housing problem before he came to Chapel Hill. Maultsby,. a physical education and history major, said, "You can't visualize how .bad it it," adding that he wouldn't have believed it if anyone, had : told him exactly what the con ditions are. J Maultsby's case is not unusual. EveTy day married students check with the Housing Of fice to see if something new has come up, to see if there is a hew vacancy within their price range, or to see if there is available something better than they now have. The Housing office does as much as possible to help out, but, in Maultsby's words, "There is just nothing. in this town." Vietory Village has 352 housing units. There will be nine vacancies at the end of this semes ter. The waiting list already contains over 300 name's. In a list compiled last December, it was re ported that 27 of these applicants were living in dormitories, six in trailers and the rest at various places in; Chapel Hill and Durham. 39 married people are known to have withdrawn from the University or did not come, partly because of housing conditions. J. E. Wadsworth, director of housing, says these figures are now too low. , The situation of having married students is a fairly recent on0r One young Carolina faculty member recalled that he was one of three mar ried students at the University of Virginia", and at that time the idea of parents' supporting married couples was unheard of. Figures compiled by Life Magazine in the spring of 1955 show that 13 percent of the student body at Xarblina) was married. This semester the Housing Office estimates that 20 percent , of the students are married. C. E. Teague, UNC business manager, ex plained that, if college attendance is expected to double in the next 10 years, and since the percentage of married" students is increasing, the problem will become much more pressing. Gordon Cleveland, political science instruct or, has pointed out that Chapel Hill has no more room within the city limits for new housing. He said sewage and water lines do not ex extend far enough beyond the city limites to accommodate large housing projects, adding that he does not think the townspeople will be willing to pay taxes to extend the facilities be yond limits where no city taxes are collected. Cleveland says, "The rent in Glen Lennox is high, but everything else is higher." How ever, the general opinion is not that the towns people are soaking the students. Paul Maultsby says, "I don't find the people here so bad they're nice people but they've got the places and they want the money." Cleveland commented, "If you look at it from the business point of view you can't com plain... they (the landlords) are getting tho most they can for what they have." According to the political science instructor, one reason the rents are so high is that im mediately after World War II, to accommodate the sudden rush of veteran students, many lare houses were broken into separate rooms. When the rush subsided, the rooms were again combined into apartments, but separate room prices were retained. A second reason, said Cleveland, is that the completion of Memorial Hospital a few years ago brought to Chapel Hill a group of people in the higher income bracket than the rest (See PAUL MAULTSBY'S, rage 5.) ou Have r i Uu Y!T; r What Are I he PI ns mi!eire amin the time has come.

Student Bddy-President Don Fowler said yesterday he felt it was his responsibility to let the public know how the student body felt about Coach Jim Tatum in view of the recent editorial by the co-editors of The Daily Tar Heel. Fowler said the editorial repre sented solely the co-editcs' opin ions. He said he felt he spoke for nearly all the student body when he said, "Welcome home, Coach Jim!

At the last session of the Gen-J eral Assembly, a bill was ,in.tro- v duced to provide for loans, to the University of North Carolina for the purpose of housing students. The bill did not reach the floor until the last ten days of the session.-'- The bill drawn up for the Un iversity at Chapel Hill was wide cpen. University Business Manag er C. E. Teague jokingly said the bill, as it was introduced, could have authorized the University to put an addition on the Carolina Inn. : - ' . ' But at the time the legislature met the country was in an eco nomic slump. T h e ; tax returns from the previous year showed a sag in the booming American ec-l onomy. ; - - Carmichael said there was no one person opposed to the mea sure, but general opposition was responsible for the cut. Teague said, "I don't believe they, (the legislature) are as aware of the situation which really ex ists as we are." The bill asking for loans to fi nance the housing for married students started at State College, where the problem is more press ing, commented Teague. Speaking of the housing pro blem of t h e married students, Dean of Student Affairs Fred Weaver said, "I have reminded Mr. Carmichael, about it f r o m time to time." Financed housing presents a complicated problem. If loans "are made on a self-liquidating basis . nil ! 1 1, 1 ! "Girl Watjfcd" sign in second floor window of Vance Dormi tory. Four Daily Tar Heel reporters meeting in South Building foyer, finding they're working on three different stories. Dormice: G DID SHE KISS THE CAROLINA KA? Duke Coed Blamed In Virus Sickness Kappa Alpha Fraternity has accused a Duke coed of conspir ing against them by spreading an intestinal virus- through the fraternity. This particular coed, who had been sick with the virus herself, is pinned 0 a Carolina KA. That fraternity man. was the first of ?5 out of 32 KAs who have been sick from the virus! Now the whole- fraternityvhas claimed she was the one who brought the virus. - PARTY V A fraternity-sorority . party spread the illness 'to the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. About 10 AD Pis were in the Infirmary at one time during the weekend. , The virus began to take its toll about Thursday or Friday of last week, according to Lay ton MeCurdy, president of KA Fraternity, A few boys were sick I during the weekend ... but most of them about 20 became ill on Sunday. 5About five or six KAs living in dormitories were also sick. MeCurdy said most of the boys were sick in bed for, about 30 hours. Only a few of the boys went to the infirmary. C One of the doctors from the anfirmary visited the KA house Sunday. A blanket excuse from classes was issued to the KAs .who Were sick Monday. Dr E? McG. Hedgpeth at the student Infirmary said the. virus la.s from two to four days but that it is not serious. He said this same virus has been scattered around colleges and throughout the general pop ulation all over the country. He did not have the exact num ber of Carolina students that had the virus but said that "quite a few" had been sick with it. Six-Day Paper 1s Restored Members of the Publications Board yesterday voted unanim ously to restore the Sunday edi tion of The Daily Tar Heel. Chairman Tom Lambeth ex plained the Yackety Yack would not lose as much money as origi rHv feared and it would be safe financially to restore the six-day-a-week publication. Lambeth presented the restora tion idea earlier but eoeditors'of the paper, Louis Kraar and Ed Yoder, said the paper would not resume Sunday publication unless their salary was restored to its former level. The editors' salary was cut from $600 to $300 last spring by the 19th assembly stu dent Legislature. Kraar and Yoder' agreed to al low Sunday publication without holding out for a salary raise:.

HOUSING OFFICER JAMES WADSWORTH . . . everything adds up to no housing Photos By Louis Kraar wo From UNC Going To Ys' Annual Meet Miss Pat Dixon and Doug Can trell have been chosen co-chairmen by the YWCA and the YMCA for the sixth annual Mid-Winter Student Conference. The confer snce will be held the weekend of March 9-11 at the Congregational Conference Center in Bricks, N. C. In past year the conference have occupied a prominent spot in the winter schedule of campus activi ties, attracting from 70 to 125 stu dents and faculty members. With a major speaker to lead the discuss ions, they have studied the prob lems of students and the relation of the Christian faith to the cam pus. . .

He is also a member of the Wesley Foundation at the Methodist Church. The conference co-chairmen are working with a planning commit tee of 25 students. Concerning the conference, YWCA President Sally Folger and YMCA President Graham Rights commented that "previous con ferences have always attracted a large number of '' students who found value in the experience of planning and participating in such an event. Through, these confer ences, many students came to find more meaning in their experience of being members of the campus and the world ' community and gained insight into the relevance of the Christian faith to this ex perience. This March the Ys plan, to again provide this opportunity." i M:;:i?:;.::;S:-- S I) MISS PAT DIXON AND DOUG CANTRELL representing UNC groitps at YMCA-YWCA conference The legislature was working in the shadows of the depression of the thirties, and was looking with a cautious eye at matters involv ing money. According to Teague, "a lot ot people don't realize the atmosphere under which the leg islature was working." Spring brought a healthy bulge to the pocketbooks of the nation, but the, boom came too late. The University's bill for new housing had been cut to $2 million, to be! used for dormitories. The married students were not mentioned. Other reasons given for the cut included a fear on the part of the legislature that the people might think t h e y were issuing bonds' without referring them to the pu blic for a vote," as is required in the state Constitution, and t h e J high rate of interest on the bonds. After the section of the bill pro viding for married students had been killed, William D. Carmich ael Jr., vice-president and finance officer of the Consolidated Uni versity, said that it would be bet ter to borrow the money from pri vate sources rather than introduce a separate bill for the housing of married .students. It was feared at the time that a second bill might tempt the le gislature to kill the firtt. the new housing projects would have to be filled, said Teague. If the housing was not operating at capacity the rents ' of the other residents would have to be raised to self-liquidate the loans. Self-liquidating loans are re payed out of the monthly rent of the apartments. J. S. Bennett, director of ope rations, estimates that in order to repay the loan and interest mi nimum cost of $45 a month will be necessary. He further estimates that a minimum of $20 will be re quired to take care of mainte nance, paved roads, street lights, and water lines. This would make the total, minimum monthly rent approximately $65. Dean Weaver was optimistic about the plans to use self-liquidating loans: "We're of the opi nion that these ' things will pay for themselves," he said. According to Bennett, "The stu dents and Dean Weaver all want good houles at $35 a month, and it can't be done." Bennett contin ued by saying, "You can't build an apartment and self-liquidate it for less than 50 or 60 dollars a month." Teague said, "It's a matter of mathematics. . .I'm afraid that a (See TO BUILD, page 5.)
