The University Traffic and Safe ty Council met Monday afternoon and recommended that the Univer sity adminstration ask the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen to consider a request to install parking meters on Franklin St. only and to leave the other streets as they are. A UNC faculty member said the Building and Grounds Committee J had earlier gone on record as in "favor of meters," but they stated no particular areas in town. , All this is an effort to relieve congestion on the streets and in parking spaces. The University spent $75,000 in building the re cently completed bell tower park ing lot. Thus far the new lot has receiv ed very little use the faculty mem ber stated. This is not the first time such action has been considered. Seve ral years ago an administrative board of the University recomm ended parking meters for Chapel Hill, but no definite steps were taken.

Other members were Victor Bryant of Durham and Rudolph Mintz of Southport .The committee was named to decide if the conflicts can be settled bv administrative action or whether legislation is needed. Rep. W. C. Harris Jr. of Wake, a member of the board of trus tes, said at that time the trustees should decide whether, "it wants to run the University or whether it wants someone else to run it." One of the conflicts between the University and the education board resulted from a decision of the Few Signatures Being Added To Meter Petition board', to reduce from 500 to 300 units a housing development the University is planning to build at State College for married students.

Those were the words of Paul Woodard, president of Lewis Dormi tory, last week as he talked of his dorm bein awarded the trophy for best dorm on campus by the Interdormitory Council. Lewis wasn't always the winner of everything it entered, but con sistently finished high enough to be in the money. On very few oc casions did the boys fail to make a good showing. This was evidenced by the fact that they finished second in basket ball, third in the overall intramural program and won the Rod and Gun Field Meet. In addition to this, the Lewisites had an outstanding homecoming dis play, sponsored the Homecoming Queen, Miss Gale Willingham, and was one of the few dorms that entered the Beat Dook Float Balloting Begins Today For Miss Fashion Plate Parade. Lewis Dorm is also one of the few residence halls which features a dorm newspaper. The paper, an outstanding "sheet edited by Allan Spader, is printed four times during the year and supplies everyone with general dorm news. Lewis is run under an executive committee which .formulates dorm policy. Twice during the year, it has had dorm meetings in the up stairs dining room of Lenoir Hall. According to President Woodard, "the turnout was great." For future plans, Woodard called for a project to work on the social loom. A plan is also underway to buy lamps and drapes and to have a trophy case installed. Lewis is very proud of its past residents who have gone on to be come "big men on campus." In cluded in this list are Benny Thomas, Frank Brown and Doug F.isele, as well as Woodard. For the Third consecutive year five campus beauties will vie for a wardrobe and the title of Miss Campus Fashion Queen beginning today and running through May 25. The five candidates for the prize were chosen over the past school term at the rate of one per month, with the exception of December and October. Miss Fashionplate for November was Cecile Martin, an art major from Jacksonville, Florida. She is a junior, and a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority. Miss Martin is also an Angel Flight Queen for the AFROTC and is active in the YWCA. Dottie Bull was tlie January Miss Fashionplate. A junior from Mont gomery, Ala., she is a Tri Delt and is a elementary education major. Miss Fashionplate for Feburary was Miss Polly McLamb, a senior journalism major from Goldsboro.

Miss Miller is a junior Education Major from Carol Gables, Fla. She is a mem ber of Kappa Delta Sorority. Miss Nancy Adams of Miami, Florida was Miss Fashionplate for the month of April. She is a mem ber of Pi Beta Phi sorority and the University Party, and serves as Chairman of the Women's Honor Council. She is a junior English education major. The contest, sponsored by J. B. Robbins of Chapel Hill is held, in the words of Robbins, "to build better relations between the stu dents and the merchants of Chapel Hill ... to get closer to the stu dent body and get them to realize that we are here to serve them and always have them in mind as our customers." Robbins explained that three Carolina cieds are presented for the monthly title and a vote by students decides which of three is to reign as Miss Fashionplate for that month. Each monthly winner is presented a gift by Robbins, with each winner eligible to compete in the Fashion Queen Contest to be held at the end of the year. The prize for the Fashion Queen title consists of a wardrobe, com plete with dresses, hats, . bags, shoes, and hose. The prize is cur (See FASHION, Page 3) ical of her achievements in areas of .leadership is her efficient, un derstanding work as chairman of Women's Honor Council, on which she has served since her first se mester. She has been a tireless worker in educating the women students to the function of Wo men's Honor Council, and to vari ous other organizations and is sues of particular concern to wo men on this campus. Noteworthy also, has been her work within P'an hellenic, where her clear, thinking and dependability are valued highly."

New Exchanges Are Scheduled For Next Year Three foreign students will study at Carolina next year under the foreign exchange program, the Foreign Exchange School Commit tee announced yesterday. In addition to the two students from Goettingen University in Germany, a student from the Fin ance School of LaPoz, Bolivia, will .spend a year in Chapel Hill. The main purpose of the Boli vian student's stay will be to study government in action. Heinrich Hamke and Peter Niko laisen have been named to repre sent Goettingen. Frances Reynolds of Newton and Bob Noble of Ra leigh will attend Goettingen next year under the exchange program. Jose Lcpez from Bolivia is the third student. There will not be a Carolina student studying in Bolivia. Meals for the two Goettingen men will be furnished by the IFC while they are studying here. Jim Menzel, secretary of the Foreign Exchange School Commit tee, said t'4" group would litae to have the foreign students room- By ED ROWLAND Don Furtado, representing stu dents opposed to the parking ordin ance proposed by the Town of Chapel Hill, -won a moral victory last night w hen the Board of Alder man decided to defer any action until 'the Board members had time to look over the student's case. Mayor O. K. Cornwell said the Board did not Itave to wait until the fall, as the students suggested, but that .positive action may be taken at the next regular meeting of the Board in June. Furtado told the town fathers the same thing that he told the Merchants's Association: students will be left with no place to park if meters and restrictions prohibit them from using spaces on Frank lin and Columbia Streets. He presented a series of pro posals : to the Aldermen setting forth the aims of the students. Under the proposed ordinance, John Anderson,, town planning as sistant, told the meeting that a survey showed metered parking probably will have desirable effects on street and parking congestion. Furtado, Gordon Street and Sonny Kinsey told the board that ! removing 44 parking spaces on Co- lumbia Street from Franklin to I Cameron and installing 2-hour meters there would leaver the stu dents with less place to park and they asked if that would solve any thing. , .Mayor Cornwell ..observed that limiting parking to 2 hours on that street has resulted in "100 per cent improvement in the situa tion. Before that time only one off street lot was maintained by the fraternities, now there are several. This i3 what we wanted," he said. Mayor Cornwell said the Beard's interest was not revenue, "It will be a long time before the meters will" yield any, but solving the traf fic problem that is almost beyond our control now." Furtado's proposals included: Establish a committee of stu dents, aldermen, merchants and University officials to study the problem over the summer and make proposals in the fall. Let parking remain the same un Franklin Street from Spencer Dorm to the edge of the business district. Allow parking on Rosemary Street from 9 a.m. 4 p.m. during non-rush hours. Have the University put all-day parking in the lot across from the Carolina Inn where the old green house is. Have the Merchant's paved lot be used by merchants and employees, until customers begin to take ad vantage of the lot. ing with Americans.
