$15 Million Budget Request By
Aycock; Student Uni on Tops List
BY JOE MEDLIN
UNC made a request for 15
million dollars for the 1961-73
bienniurn captital improvements
to the Advisory Budget Com
mission last week.
Receiving top priority was a
combination student union and
undergraduate library at a cost
Of $2,622,000.
The proposed 152,000 square
foot building would adjoin Lenoir
Hall in order to avoid duplica
tion of cooking facilities. Through
this plan dining rooms in both
buildings could be served through
the present kitchen in Lenoir.
Chancellor William B Aycock
said the structure would provide
space and facilities for student
activities, student religious or
ganizations and study.
"The need for a student union
and the need for an undergradu
ate library wculd justify request
ing them as separate projects,"
Aycock said.
"But there are values in com
bining these functions in one
building. It is an ideal of col
lege education to combine study
with participation in worthwhile
campus activities."
Initially a minimum of 30,
000 square feet in the building
would be set aside as the under
graduate library. Establishment
of this library would free Wilson
Library primarily for graduate
and faculty use.
It funds fcr the new student
union are approved by he 1961
Legislature the currently inade
quate Graham Memorial Stu
dent Union al!1 probably be used
for summer institutes and other
Extension Division activities.
Both N. C. State College and
Woman's College have been giv
en new student union buildings
within recent years.
The most expensive item in
the request was a combination
auditorium-armory-indoor stadi
um to accommodate UNC's 8,000
students at assemblies and ath
letic events. .The estimated cost
was $6,125,000. '
This building would also pro
vide adequate facilities for the
NROTC and air ROTC including
drill space, class rooms, labora
tories and offices. It would also
relieve space deficiencies for the
Physical Education and intra
mural programs in addition to
providing sufficient space for
the Department of Athletics.
The University's projects were
listed in a continuing expansion
study projected 10 years ahead
Two Days Left
To Register
.Registration for the second term
of the Carolina summer session
was held yesterday in Woollen
Gymnasium. Late registration will
be possible through Saturday.
Courses are available in 30
schools, departments, and special
curricula on undergraduate, grad
uate, and professional levels, stat
ed Dr. A. K. King, director of
the summer session.
Enrollment is expected to exceed
the 2,677 who registered for last
year's second summer session, Dr.
King said.
Enrollment for the first session
wa 3,837, more than in any other
year since the post-war bulge of
the late 1940's.
Aycock and Consolidated Univer
sity President William Friday
said UNC's enrollment increases
annually by 400 to 425 students. .
Given second priority among
three requested new facilities is
a combination cafeteria and
service building planned for loca
tion on the south side of the cam
pus. This $730,000 building would
serve an estimated 2,752 stu
dents in the two new. dormitories
already in use in Kenan Woods
plus three larger dorms now on
the drawing boards.
Backing up the. requested
$6,125,000 for construction of an
auditorium-armory-indoor stad
ium, Chancellor William B. Ay
cock pointed out that currently
the campus here dobs not have
a single building "'capable of
seating even half of the student
body enrollment.
Memorial Hall, the largest
auditorium on the campus, can
accommodate only 1,740 of a
total student body of 8,000.
Athletic Department officials,
particularly basketball coach
Frank McGuire, have pleaded
hard for several years for an
indoor stadium to replace the
sorely inadequate Woollen Gym.
Numerous friends and officials
of the University, headed by
Vice President William D. Car
michael Jr., have been working
quietly but persistently with
alumni and sports- enthusiasts
for several years in an attempt
to raise part" of the cost of the
indoor stadium before approach
ing the Legislature.
And one" member of the Ad
visory Budget Commission, Rep.
J. W. Copeland, made it clear
BY DAVE JONES
Information about the success of
a new type of student identifica
tion card has reached the desk of
UNC Librarian, Jerrold Orne.
This information concerns the Ad-
dressograph type ID card in use
at Princeton University.
Princeton adopted this card at
the suggestion of the librarian as
a solution to their stolen book
problem. It ilso serves as a con
troned ldeiiinication for use in
making purchases at that Uni
versity's campus stores. It identi
fies students who wish to cash
checks on campus and in town.
Joseph W. Kachel, a Princeton
student enrolled in UNC's Sum
mer School, make his ID card
available to Orne so that he could
show it to interested campus of
ficials. When asked about the opin
ion of the students at Princeton
about their new ID cards, Kachel
said that they were enthusiastic
about them.
"They work. They provide posi
tive identification. You can't check
a book out ot the library or turn
around without one. The mer
chants in town respect the cards.
They make it easier to identify
ourselves off campus," continued
the Princeton student.
"I personally like the provision
requiring a student to paya $5
fine if he loses his card. That way
you feel that' you have something
valuable and important and will
not take it so lightly as to be
careless or to loan it to a buddy."
Original attention to this solu
tion to the problem of student
identification came from UNC of-
ficals when Miss Mary Lou Lucy
of the Circulation Department rep
resents UNC at a joint meeting of
the U. S. and Canadian Librarians.
At the Ottawa meeting, the
Princeton Librarian devoted a ses
sion to his experiences with the
new card, lie was, according 10
Miss Lucy, generous in his praise.
He said that the lost book prob
lem had been almost completely
eliminated since the adoption of
the Addressograph card and a

"No .Card No Book" policy.
UNC Library officials do not see
the adoption of this idea as a great
panacea, but they feel that it has
merit.' Orne is currently, making a
round of consultations with cam
pus officials whom he believes
feels can benefit from a more con-
trolled ID system.
Kachel, in discussing the suc
cess of the cards, feels thata pic
ture is also needed. There have
been cases at Princeton where a
card has been lost and before
can be reported to the different
campus agencies it has been used
fraudulently.
Orne. felt that there was some
validity to this suggestion. He said
that he was quite sure that the
plastic cards were available with
photosensitive surfaces and that
the UNC Photolab has the techni
cal know-how to handle the pro
cessing of this phase of the card's
issuance.
In contacting other campus of
ficials and in discussing the value
of the new system, Orne feels that
the initial cost " of approximately
$4,000 for the purchase of engrav
ing and embossing is rather small
when considering the number of
books lost, the number of checks
cashed and the number of times
that positive identification is re
quired from each student.
Interviews Are Set
Student Government interviews
will be held by President Bob
Bingham Monday and Tuesday.
M that time he will fill men's
and women's vacancies on the
Summer School Board and on the
two Honor Councils.
Application blanks and appoint
ments are available in the student
government office. Any student en
rolled in the second session may
apply for one of these positions.
The student government office is
on the second floor of Graham
Memorial and is open from 1:30
5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
