SIX PAGES THIS ISSUE
By EDITH MACKINNON
The basement of Cobb Dormitory is no longer being used as living
quarters for men students.
James Wadsworth, housing officer, announced yesterday that the
crowded housing situation has been somewhat relieved following fra
ternity pledging.
An appeal was issued over radio for any rooms in or around Chapel
Hill which could be rented by stu
dents. All town rooms within walk
ing distance of the1 campus are now
filled. A few rooms in outlying
"districts of Chapel Hill are still
vacant and have been offered for
rent.
Cobb basement, which previous
ly housed 75 men, was offered by
the University, rent-free, in an ef
fort to alleviate the crowded situ
ation. Wadsworth stated that the
basement had served a useful pur
pose in provding space for men
until adequate rooms could be lo
cated. At the present time there is no
such interim place for undergrad
uate women, who must live in the
dormitories. Graduate women are
allowed to live in town only if they
are 24 years old or older.
All rooms on campus in both the
mens' and womens' dormitories are
filled. Approximately 55 girls'
dorm rooms ere being used as tri
ple rooms, and there are 2,000
men sharing three-man dorm
rooms.
Married students face the same
housing difficulties, as waiting
lists in both Victory Village and
Glen Lennox lengthen. In order
for married students to gain - an
apartment in these locations they
must be regularly enrolled in the
University.

Scheduled For Airiog
Solons Debate
Elections Law
In Meeting
By GRAHAM SNYDER
A bill advocating revision of tht
Elections Law will be the primary
topic of debate tonight at the
meeting of the Student Legisla
ture. Introduced at the last session
of the legislature by John Brooks
the Student Party sponsored bill
Lf passed will provide for the re
tention of ballot boxes in the dor
mitories during u general election
Another subject under: the con
sideration of the legislature will
be the approval of three members
of the Board. of Directors of Gra
ham Memorial appointed by stu-!
dent body President Bob Young.
At the same time the Legislature
will select three other members
for the Board, a senior, junior,
and sophomore, their tenure of of
fice to be one, two and three years
respectively. , . .
The Elections Bill has been the
main point of contention between
the two campus parties, the. Uni
versity and Student, . since last
year. At that time, before the last
general student ". elections, the UP
introduced a bill providing that
ballot boxes he removed from all
dorms and placed only, in certain
districts over the campus. -' "
Although opposed by the SP and
some members of the UP, the bill
was passed by the Legislature
Adhering to the election rules,
the act could not be effected in
time for the spring elections, be
cause its passage came less than
30 days prior to the, elections.
Thus, the purpose of the SP
bill to bo debated Thursday night
will be to negate the act of the
UP bill passed .last spring, there
fore leaving individual ballot box
es in every dorm.
Two major members of the SP
explained their views eonccrn'ng
the biH. President of student body
Bob Young remarked on the pur
pose of the bill, "My concern is
to make it possible for as many
people to vote as we can, and. I
think that the proposal we (the
Student Party) have endorsed,
certainly provides for increased
voting."
Sonny Evans. Vice-President of
the student bedy and Speaker o'
the Legislature commented that
h-- hone-i for an understanding of
the problem by all people con
cerned and a realization and scooe
of the number of oeople it (th
bill) affects. H3 added. "For mv
p.-rt. I hone that the legislature
vill set for the bsnef't of the stu
dents and the campus as a whole."
Mike Weinman, chairman of th?
UP. "-as MiavaPabl? for comment
cn tV bill. Al Goldsnvth, vice
chairman, declined comment on
the grounds that he would not ba
in a position to speak for the
party.
An" rene""l at the lezis'ative
meeting of the problem of park
ing restrictions and the results
cf tb nro-"?al reiected by the
Board of Aldermen last Mondav
was unforeseen by President
Young. Howrver. Young explain
ed hie xii"v on any new proposal j
brought before h legisl?ture h
sav'ng, "It would be dangerous if
a bill were introduced and passed
on this, oarkfng problem, bscaue
the student government traffic
commission has responsibility o.
this situation snd any ne bills
would only entangle that situa
tion." The legislature will also con
sider the approval of the traffic
commission and will swear in sev
eral student legislators in other
topics to be undertaken at the
meeting. ,

Car Issue
Not Towns'
By FRANK WAMSLEY
;. "Lack of parking space in Chap
:i Hill is a problem belong; to
the University and not the town,"
Town Manager Thomas D. Rose
;aid recently in commenting on
he town and campus parking
situation.
Rose,, a University student some
50 years ago, said that the biggest
source of trouble is "most people
ate too lazy to walk." He strongly
recommended that students do
more . walking. Chapel Hill, he de
clared, is not so huge as to re-
luire an automobile.
Nearly 75 per cent of the cars
crowding Chapel Hill's streets are
either student or faculty owned.
There a- over 2,100 student cars
done. Rose explained that the
city has' very little, control, over
student automobiles.
It is no secret that the Univer
sity is "big business" in Chapel
Hill, he said. It owns and controls
most-o the utilities.- ,
. .Being state,-owTed, these -entiry
holdings are tax free and do not
contribute, in this way, to the sup
port of the community. '
" "Thd University' is, of course,
much larger than the town. In view
of this, it, is not difficult to un
derstand; why the town feeh that
the University should "care for
its' own" in- this problem, Rose
said.
'The merchants of Chapel Hill j
have relieved downtown conges- j
tion somewhat by building a park-;
ing lot at the corner of Rosemary
and North Columbia Streets.. Park
ing is free for the first hour for
customers of merchants belonging
to the association.
In reference to recent objections
to the two hour parking limit on
South Columbia St., Rose said,
'.The streets are not public ga
rages." He admitted that the fra
ternities located there have their
rights as taxpayers. However, they
have no special claim to a public
street in a congested area, Rose
added.
Last year the town collected the
;um of $10,000 from SI parking
fines. Students contributed a large
hare of this sum.
The My Fair Lady Look Sets
Fashion Trend For Weekend
By PEG HUMPHREY
Carolina weekends call for a
franeiformation from the rugged
tWecds, cashmeres and loafers
that reign for daily campus wear.
Today's young lady will look
oretty; not sophisticated, smart or
chic, but" simply pretty. Folks in
Ihe fashion business call it the My
Lad' Look
The narrow line still prevails,
but this season it isn't nearly as
rigid. Gentler tailoring, the soft
ness of the blouson and the em
pire look all add up to a prettier
lh2n ever pose.
Knit creations filling the sts
are particularly practical for Uni
versity coeds. Jeanne Campbell is
responsible for a slim red wool
knit which would look well in any ,
fraternity house. It has a slightly j
scooped neckline and the height- I
ened waistline.
A mink-collared suit by Kasper
which is actually a dress with a
cropped jacket ending just above
he hiplirte is especially designed
for the coed with an eye for lux
ury. .
A bit on the dramatic side is a
black orlon and wool jersey by
Donald Brooks. Below the empire
waistline the dress boasts a multi
aide of tiny flattened pleats.
T Traffic Group
Asks UP To Be
At Meeting
By CLARKE JONES
Wilburn Davis, chairman of the
student Traffic Advisory Com
mittee, announced yesterday the
committee will meet t:-day at 4:30
p.m. in Roland Parker 1 in Gin
ham Memorial to discuss tiie Co
lumbia St. parking situation.
He challenged all "students, fa
culty and townspeople who are in
terested and have suggestions" as
to the problem's solution to be
present.
He especially urg?d members
of the University Party "with their
'little group' to be present at this
meeting."
The committee was appointed
last week by student body Presi
dent B.cb Young to look into the
overall traffic situation. The Co
lumbia St. situat:on stems from a
two-hour parking restriction put
on the street in front of Big Fra
ternity Court.
The committee. along with
Young and lntrfraternity Coun
cil President Ed Hudgins, met
with the Board of Aldermen Mon
day night and requested a "tem

problem.
He S3id, "You've got to coine
