EDITH MacKINNON and CLARKE JONES It appeared uncertain Thursday whether the condemned two-story housing units in Victory Village will be torn down or whether re pairs and improvements will be made on the units. UNC Chancellor Robert B. Hoiue said the facilities there were be ing studied by the University but "no final statement" could be made at the present time. House saidv the twelve two-story units would be used until next fall instead of being discontinued after the current semester as reported Wednesday. He said the units would be ..ufe for occupancy due to the lack of necessity for heat in the summer. In a recent letter to Consolidated University President William C. Friday, House recommended the two-story units be torn down and replaced by "some sort of perman ent construction." Friday agreed with this recommendation. House said Thursday, however, no definite statement could be made at this time on what would be done with the two-story unit.. The State Insurance Dept. in Ra leigh, which handles the Universi ty's insurance policies, recently j condemned all two-story apart ments in Victory Village because! of their "hazardous'' nature. University Business Manager ( Claude Teague received a letter! from Kenneth P. Dixon, engineer i oi the State Insurance Dept., which recommended the two-story units be discontinued "in the im mediate future." The two-jiory apartments were' found to be in direct violation of the state law which says "a dormi-1 miy ui name consirucuon snail! . . . . . . . ,, be only one story in height. r.- . . ... 1 Dixon pointed out in the letter i , " .. . . . I to Teague the exits both as to o-; cation and construction are entire ly inadequate." A major fire occurring in any of these two-story houses would cause inevitable" loss of life, Dixon 1 said. The letter also recommended the University plan for the eventual re moval of all one-'tory units. The University is not planning on clos ing down the one-story units along with the two-story units. In the event the two-story units are torn down before next fall, University Housing Officer James Wadsworth said Thursday those living in them now will get priorl (See VICTORY VILLAGE, Page 3) Orientation Interviews Are Today . Final interviews for the selec tion of male members of the Campus Orientation Committee will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. to day in the Woodhouse Conference Room in Graham Memorial. All interested male students have been urged to appear at this time. Selection of female members of the OrkVUation Commitlee - will be made next week. Interested female students can fill out applications in the Student Government Office. They will be notified of the time and place of interviews.

GM'S SLATE The activities schedule for Grthcm Memorial today is: Billiard Tournament Final Eliminations; Billiard Room; 7:30 p.m. Football Team In Cobb Won't Be Segregated Football players will definite ly be put in Cobb Dormitory but will not be segregated in any particular- wing. Chancellor House announced Thursday. He said that in September there will be four counselors in Cobb supported by the Ath ls'tic Assn. but under the super vision of the Student Welfare Division. Emphasizing that football play ers would be placed in Ccbb on ly as vacancies occurred, the Chancellor said he "was trying to stage a trial project." If the system of counselors is success ful and th?re are sufficient, he hopes the same system will be instituted in all the dorms. The counselors are to make some advance in the improve ment of the dorm life as a whole, not just for football players. Earlier this semester there had been speculation that the policy of having football players in Cobb might be reversed.

The student was not , suspended from school because he reported himself, Exum said. "This case well illustrates the fact that leniency will be shown in thise cases where students re port themselves for Honor Code violations," Exum said. "Had not the student seen .fit to report himself for the violation he would have been apprehended anyway due to investigations by the Arts- and Sciences secretary. Had he come before the council and been found guilty without hav ing first reported himself, the stu dent would probably 'have been suspended from school," Exum said. Details of the case are as follows, according to Exum. 4 : Ik J Court Impeachment WASHINGTON (AP) Rep.

If a dormitory official became a pledge of a social fraternity, he would have to resign. Jimmy Womble, President of Grimes, said "I admit it is hard, but we have to get at the root of the matter." Hallford later stated, "prohibi tion of social fraternity members from holding offices in the dormi tories was not done to discrimin ate against fraternities. Fraternity members have done good work in dormitories.

The student then changed dates on two old excuses for presentation to the Arts and Sciences secretary. "He presented the excuses as valid ones on Friday. After think ing about the matter over the weekend, the student testified he felt guilty and ashamed of his act. "On Monday, following he called the Arts and Sciences secretary to tell her the excuses were invalid and to discount them. He asked her to turn him over to Director of Student Activities Sam Magill. "In the trial before the Men's Council, the defendeht was found guilty of a violation of the Honor Code. For his sentence he was placed on indefinite probation, which normally last one full se mester." - .

"" The "three measures which ap peared for consideration were hashed and , re-hashed by lawmak ers who spoke their minds with out hesitation. Legislature Speaker Sonny Evans said of the meeting: "Tonight the student Legisla ture grew up." The measure passed which aroused a continuous stream of orators to the rostrum for 45 min utes was a resolution urging that curfew hours for freshmen and sophomore nurses be consistent with curfew hours for other Uni versity coeds. Nursing School regulations now stipulate that freshmen and soph omores must report in at 11:30 on Sunday night and are allowed one o'clock privileges on either! Saturday or Sunday night.

Miss Lawrence waj selected to the Handbook editorship by the Women's Resident Council because of her considerable editing exper ience. She has expressed definite ideas and plans for next year's publication. 4The theme for the 1957 Hand book will be 'Columns' since it typifies Carolina more than any other feature on campus," she said. The Handbook will be highly ill ustrated and will devote consider able space to art and photography, according to Miss Lawrence. "In contrast with last year's edition, the '57 publication will be of an informal, instructional "na ture," she said. We expect to in clude more information concern ing activities, with special em phasis on travel schedules, cost estimates, etc." The Women's Handbook ij a 40 page-booklet designed to (1) in form coeds of dormitory rules and regulations; (2) introduce newcom ers to ravious faculty and admin fetratio nmembers; (3) inform them of what can be found in Chapel Hill., and (4) list the many To president of the local chapter of ALSA and is a member of the same fraternity.

Construction on the new buildings will hein within thirty days, according to University Engineer M. J. I lakan. Low general bid lor the three men's dorms was made by Dickerson Inc. of Monroe, Ditkerson's bid was over Si.;, million. Low general bid for the Spencer Wing was made by 11. F. Mitchell of Burlington. Figures on Mitchell's bid were not available yesterday. Total bids for the new -buildings are within the S2 mill ion loaned the University by the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency in uprj. Construction of the three dorms and women's wing must be completed within 430 days af Office Asks Changes In Add The Central Records Office in Hanes Hall has issued a plea to u students who have changed th ir residence and not yet noti- fied ne Records Bureau to do so' I soon as possible . t.ft .g important or the studemV Qwn safce that we have a rcc(rci of each one.g addresSf said Ray . strong Assistant Director of the Records Office, "We are constant ly trying to reach students in an emergency case and unable to reach him simply because he has not bothered to tell u where he lives." The Bureau must have up to date records of the students where abouts for use by the Cashier's Of fice, the YM and YWCA's, the i Deans of the various colleges, and Graham Memorial in making up the Student Directory. "We are constantly plagued by phone calls trying to locate stu dents who have moved and failed to notify this office," said a sec retary in the Records Office. "We ask students who have already i changed their address to notify us j at once, and all people doing so In the future to let us know even before they move." j Moore, photographer; Mace Chapin j Neill and Isabelle McCloud, ad- j visors, The Handbook will go to press tin early April. u f l or ter construction is" begun next month, Hakan said. This provision is incorporated in the contracts, he said. The state Legislature passed an enabling act during the 1955 sess ion which gave the University authority to borrow $2 million. Upon this authorization. Uni versity Business Manager Claude Teague submitted a request to the federal loan agency. The re quest was rapidly granted. The loan will be paid back-in 30 years, Teague said last fall, from surpluses received from a j S30 per . person dorm room rent increase. The increase went into ; effect the fall semester of 1955. ! PLANS Raymond Weeks firm of Dur ham prepared the architectural sketch of the Spencer Dorm wing, and George Watts Carr of Dur men's dormi- ham designed the tories. Original plans called for con struction of only one men's dorm on the- hill behind Kessing Pool. ! It was to house 700 students. Later it was decided three should be built with space for 600-650 students. This necessitated a change in the architect's plans which delayed bidding and con struction. The new plans proposed call for a three-building court of men's dormitories erected cn the hill overlooking Navy and Fetzer Fields. The dormitories will contain 652 rooms. These will accommo date approximately 50 more stu dents than originally planned lor. according to J. S. Bennett, director of operations. The Spencer Hall wing will in clude an expansion of dining hall and lounge and 75 additional rooms. It will be added to the rear of the present structure. SITE Site for the men's dormitories was selected by the Buildings and Grounds Committee. It was ap proved by the Building Committee of the Board of Trustees at a Sept., 1955, meeting.
