in an elementary school and is
administrator of the Hebrew
University's dance group.

the Israeli Ministry of Finance.
46-Katfon Organization

mutual respect and understand
ing among peoples of the world.
Founded in 1932, it has grown to

In 1962 more than 1500 young
people from America and an
equal number from abroad will
swap homelands for homestay-and-travel
experiences.
The Experiment, according to
its brochure, is for "those eager
to make friends of strangers:
who are pledged to understand
ing, not to criticizing; who wish
to promote international good
will on a personal basis."

OK On Site
The Chapel Hill Planning Board
.approved Lambda Chi Alpha
fraternity's request for a special
use permit at its Monday night
meeting.
The Lambda Chi request is ex
pected to be finally approved by
the town Board of Aldermen
next week. This will give the
fraternity permission to make
its long-planned move to a new
site on E. Franklin Street be
tween the Consolidated Univer
sity offices and the Alpha Tau
Omega house.
The Planning Board's decision
climaxed a long standing dispute
over parking spaces for the fra
ternity. Under previous rules for
the special use permit, a house
was required to have one off
street parking space for every
occupant.
In its present recommenda
tion to the Board of Aldermen,
the planning group asks that
this be modified to three spaces
for every ten residents for exist
ing fraternities. The Board also
asked that the Lambda Chi's
present number of 20 spaces be
continued when its site is moved.
Lambda Chi house manager
John Thuss said the fraternity's
new facilities are expected to
house 33 men. He also said the
fraternity members were "over
joyed" and that the decision rep
resented ''a more realistic view"
than the Planning Board had
previously adopted.
Planning Board Chairman Whid
Powell said his group was estab
lishing a study committee on fra
ternity parking problems which
would "get some areas allocated
which would be appropriate."
