Last year at this time the top estimate was 8,500. The milling thousands are reg istering today and Thursday, and classes begin Friday. There will be an estimated 1,737 freshmen. These thousands also need a place to stay. This summer the Housing Office placed some 500 persons without rooms by plac ing three people in most dorm rooms, and four to a room in Battle-Vance-Pettigrew. At present, the Housing Office has 50 students signed up for dorm rooms without available Space. James J. Wadworth, chief of the Housing Office, ex pects about 200 other students to turn up soon wanting accommo dations that are not available. Ileal Problem --- "The real problem is old stu dents who have no place to stay for some reason or another. Either they thought their par ents had paid their deposit, or they planned to stay in the fra ternity house and did not make their average, or were going to get an apartment and couldn't find one." Many students could and did find places off campus. Many married students had trouble finding apartments and were IN UNC FACILITIES Increases Pose Proble: An upstepped enrollment poses record problems in facilities at Carolina this fall. Most dormitory rooms will be tripled-up and many classes will be scheduled far into the afternoon to ac comodate the swelling wav es of students. Some 3,900 men students 200 more than last year will occupy the men's dorms: there will be three students to a room in each dorm except Battle-Vance-Pettigrew which will house four to a room, and Conner, Avery, Park er and Teague which will contin ue to house two to a room. The latter three dorms are the new est on campus, their rooms sport ing built-in furniture making tri ple occupancy difficult.

Edwards, who will assume du ties September 14, replaces Ray Jefferies who takes a year's leave of absence to study for a M.A. degree in guidance at Co lumbia University.

This is one of the many homeless students who found that the world is cruel and the streets are hard as he walked them trying to find a dormitory or real estate agency that would take itics for 512 married couples in the new married students housing and Victory Village, plus apart ments to take care of approxi mately 30 graduate women and faculty members. The housing office hopes to provide accomo dations for another 100 married couples. "We'd be lost without the peo ple who live in the area," said James Wadsworth. head of the Housing Office. "We've had ex cellent cooperation from people in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area in helping accomodate the great influx of students." The office of the Dean of Wo men reports no significant prob lem in housing women students this year. Most of the women's dorms house three to a room.

Friday J A STRUM, TRILL & BLUE NOTE Free And this is the way the ses sion begins, not with a bang, but a strum, a thrill and a blue note. Three free programs are scheduled f o r t h i s week Wednesday, Friday, and Sa turday, all musical, all inter esting, and all free. Wednesday night on Emer son Field at 7, Rambling Jack Elliott will entertain with what some might refer to as "expression in the folk idiom" but what most would call just old time pickin 'n sing ing. Rambling Jack has been some what of a "rake and rambling boy" for some 15 years, having been on the road from his unlikely home in Brooklyn, through Texas and Ok lahoma and most recently in Eng land where he charmed the tradi tionally staid British audiences with American folk songs and earned renown as America's most repre sentative balladeer. Travels With Guthrie Mr. Elliot has been influenced by the great Woody Guthrie, with whom he traveled for five years on the folk-song circuit and who is re puted to have said that "Jack El liot sounds more like me than I do." He has sung for Princess Mar garet ("She was very hip") at a private party in London, in Left Bank coffee houses, and "in every saloon on Highway 40." Friday night at 8:30 the Hot Nuts, who have not just returned from England, will entertain on the lawn in front of Graham Memorial.! This local combo has been a con- stant favorite on the campus, and Aycock Thinks N. Will Vote UNC's Chancellor William B. Aycock thinks the people of North Carolina will vote for the statewide bond issue coming up this fall. "I believe the people in the state realize the critical need for facilities here and that they will support the bond is sue," said the Chancellor in an interview this week. The University would re ceive $5,817,000 if the issue is approved, the money go ing for a new student union, health center, additions to the heat ing plant and steam mains, a cafe teria and service building, an addi tion to Wilson Hall (zoology) and for the renovation of Phillips Hall (mathematics). "We will need the cooperation of the administration, faculty and stu dents in an instructive, program of interpretation in getting across to the citizens the need for more, fa cilities," the Chancellor emphasized. He went on to say that the need for facilities was dependent on the University's capacity to take its "fair share'' in the increased num ber of applicants. Since 1956 en rollment has increased 2,000. Costly Item The costliest item in the voter's bond issue is a new student union. Some $1,622,000 of the total cost will have to be approved by the public, while a remaining million will come Programs always promises an enjoyable even ing. Saturday night at 8 Marco Rizo, one of the foremost Cuban pianists, will give a concert in Memorial Hall. Born in Havana, Cuba, Mr. Rizo was graduated from the National Conservatory in Havana. He work ed in many orchestras and small groups until he rose to the position of pianist with the Havanna Phil harmonic under the direction of Pedro San Juan. In 1940 Air. Rizo studied at the ' .v.

He and Co-chairman Larry McDevitt will be meeting with civic organizations and principals of schools in hopes of conveying to them infor mation about the needs of the university so that they in turn will pass it on to Parent- - Teacher Associations " and to ' the general public in the , state. The proposed student union undergraduate library will be , stressed, but all points will be covered. They will work closely with Chancellor Wil- s liam B.

I think we can se cure it." Graham Memorial, the present student union, was built in 1931 with contributions for a student body of 2,000. "The present union is inadequate for the student body and for the progress of the student body," said the Chancellor. "It is just a matter of having had an inadequate build ing size to begin with." Prcjected Site The projected site of the new un ion would take up part of the area occupied by the Veteran's Club ex tending to part of Emerson Field. The $5,817,000 is part of a total $7,617,100 capital improvements bud get for UNC approved by the As sembly. The balance $1,800,000 will be financed by the legislative bond issue. The latter fund will finance such capital improvements at UNC as the following: rewiring Philips Hall; renovating Murphy Hall (French); remodelling Cobb dormitory for wo men; renovating Bynum Hall (UNC News Bureau); storm sewer on the south campus; floor repairs at Ven able Hall (chemistry); renovating Medical school areas; and air con ditioning of Memorial Hospital and the School of Dentistry.
