ried students' housing and $1,242,

trtere appeared to be confusion
in South Building as to whether
legislation would be sought for
new student union building
funds.
It was thought Tuesday after
noon President Friday had said
there would be a new request for
a new building.
Approximately an hour later
UNC Chancellor Robert B. House
said he knew of "no move that
way at this time. If we had a
chance to open up anything at
all," he said, "it would be on
married students' housing.'"
Friday, having left by that time
for an out-of-town trip, could not
j be reached then. Consolidated Uni
versity Acting Vice President ana
Provost William M. Whyburn said
he thought legislation would be
..jught for a new union building.
Friday was later reached and
clarified the situation.

For Accord
In Dorms
By PRINCLE PIPKIN
C! ser cooperation between the
dormitory advisors and managers
with the dorm officials was urged
at a meeting of these groups Tues
day by Sonny HaMford, president
of the Intcrdormitory Council.
Ray Jjffcries. assistant to the
dean cf student affairs, said while
dormitory advisers are nut pro
ctors, they are supposed to help
student officials quell any distur
bances. Hallford said students in the
j dorms would have to take more
responsibility in enforcing quiet
hours and preventing destruction
of property. He said many stu
dents felt matters of discipline
were the sole responsibility of
the dorm officials.
The IDC president said it is
"not Young's responsibility to
break up panty raids." He aked
that dormitory officials try to
stop the raids from forming.
Hallford went on to say. ' the
ID Court is definitely improved
over last year, but there is still
room for more improvement."
So far the court has tried nt
firecracker cases, although two
are coming before it. Last year
students convicted of shooting
firecrackers were expelled from
all dorm.
In order to aid the dorm offi
cials to maintain quiet. IDC Vice
President Neil Bass recommended
each dorm floor have a counselor.
