The company has several pos sible plans for the property, chief among them a commercial dormitory for University women graduate students, as well as other commercial development. According to Sion Jennings, agent for the transaction, Allen Brothers is "ready to break ground within three weeks" for the construction of a nine-story dormitory on the school's play ground. The dormitory would have a capacity of 500. If the option is exercised, Allen Brothers will own and operate the building. The University will have no association with the enterprise, but will refer stu dents to it as off-campus hous ing when UNC housing is filled. UNC Business Manager J. A. Branch said the University would welcome "quality off-campus housing" in Chapel Hill. However, the terms of the Uni versity's federal loans require that University housing be filled before any students are referred to off-campus housing. Allen Brothers is one of the nation's largest land develop ment enterprises, Jennings said. The firm is the builder of Holi day Inns and has constructed commercial dormitories at other large universities. W liIillilsl UGOTOGNAZZI CATHERINE SPAAK AN EMBASSY PICTURES RELEASE THURS. - FRI.

In a brain-storming session held recently, someone suggest ed "Central Park" as a simple catch-all. It was quickly vetoed as not fitting the location. Some one else came up with "PTA Park" (which does fit the site), but the childhood associations with that name were deemed in appropriate. Nothing definite came out of the session. So to date, the first student planned and financed park at UNC across the street from Avery, Parker and Teague dormitories, and due east of Kenan Stadium remains name less.

Gray Professor of Biblical Literature at UNC, is spending his second summer on an archaeological project. Boyd, who spent July of last summer excavating a mid-Bronze Age City - near Beersheba, Israel, left Chapel Hill for a return visit in July. game on Sept. 19, said Alvin Tyndall, rising UNC junior and originator of the idea for the park. Students will be able to walk, picnic, throw horseshoes and play volleyball in the park. Shaped in an isoscele triangle, the one and two fifths acres set aside for the park are moderate ly wooded. Tyndall, who hails from Wil son, came up with the idea for a new park and recreation area on the campus last spring. He presented . his plans to Student Legislature and acquired $401.10 from student government's gen eral surplus for the project. He said there was a "need and desire" for a park in the general vicinity of Avery, Parker and Teague and students in this area of the campus were "iso lated" from the rest of the school. "The park will provide these students with more opportunities for recreation and relaxation," he said. A picnic area, two horseshoe pits, two volleyball courts, and a walking area will be available for UNC students. Five gravel paths will lead from a fir tree surrounded by fall-blooming mums and spring-flowering azaleas in the walking ' area. Three benches will line each path "enough to accommodate 15 couples," said Tyndall. Six picnic tables will be provided for basket-carrying picnickers. No barbeque pits are planned. To date only about $300 of the students allotment for the pro ject has been used. The balance, reported Tyndall, will revert to the Student Legislature's general surplus. The picnic tables will be given by the University. The Chapel Hill Nursery is handling the landscaping for the park. Most of the area will be left-in its natural state. "There are a lot of tall pines and dog woods," said Tyndall. "And there's no poison ivy, oak, or sumac! We've checked." Tyndall said he expects the park to be named and dedicated before it opens next month.
