Fall Housing
Seen Crowded
For UNC Men
By LYNNE IIARVEL
Tar Heel Staff Writer
The campus housing situa
tion will be "extremely crowd
ed" this fall according to
housing director James Wads
worth. A lack of room cancellation
and increased enrollment
combined to create the situa
tion, he said.
New Morrison Residence
Hall, which will accommo
date 1,042 men students, will
help to alleviate the situation
a little, but there will still be
three men in some rooms.
There will be 800 rooms in
old living units with a third
occupant. The newer resi
dence halls Ehringhaus,
Craige, Parker, Teague and
Avery are not equipped to
handle three people in a
room.
Wadsworth said the prob
lems now facing housing are
uncrowding single, under
graduate men;, the critical
shortage of housing for gradu
ate men; and the lack of uni
versity housing facilities for
married students.
Students have been urged
not to return to dormitories
and residence halls before
Sept. 10, particularly the stu
dents in Morrison. Construc
tion will not be finished on
that building before then, and
early entrance into the build
ing would be dangerous and
delay the workmen's progress.
For the convenience of stu
dents remaining in Chapel Hill
between semesters, Connor
will be open. A fee of $15 will
be charged. Reservations can
be made by calling the hous
ing office.
The new housing space has
allowed an increased enroll
ment, but further controls on
enrollment are needed, Wads
worth said.
The dorrmitory space for
women is less critical be
cause their enrollment is
strictly controlled.
Completion Nears
For 3 Buildings
Three new buildings Chase
Cafeteria, Carmichael Audi
torium, and Morrison Resi
dence Hall will open on
campus during September.
Construction on Carmichael
Auditorium was started in
May, 1964. Completion is
scheduled for late Septem
ber. A mishap Monday night,
when an improperly connect
ed water main broke and
flooded the newly - laid floor
with eight inches of water,
will delay completion while a
new floor is put in.
The auditorium will have a
seating capacity of 10,000.
Two - thirds of the seats will
be stadium arm chairs. The
other one - third will be fold
out bleachers which can be

$17 Million Grant Awarded
For Study Of Drag Effects
A grant of $17 million was
announced last week for the
establishment of a research
center on campus to study
possible toxic effects of drugs.
The grant was awarded to
UNC by the National Institute
of General Medical Sciences
of the National Institute of
Health. Surgeon General Luth
er Terry termed it the largest
single award of its kind.
The planning office is cur
rently considering possible lo
cations for the center.
The center will employ ap
proximately 300 people and is
expected to be completed and
ready for occupancy by late
1968 or early 1969.
Dr. Thomas C. Butler of the
UNC Department of Pharma
cology will -direct the new
Pharmacology - Toxology Cen
ter. Consolidated University
President William C. Friday
termed the grant a "vital for
ward thrust in research for
the medical care and benefit
of mankind."
Chancellor Paul F. Sharp
called it a "milepost in sci
entific advancement in medi
cine in this nation and a chal
lenge of the first magnitude
for this University."
According to Terry,, the pro
gram will be of greater scope
and magnitude than any pre
vious effort in the study of
possible toxic effects of drugs
and other chemical substances
to which man is exposed.
The Surgeon General furth
er said: "Potential toxic re
action to the mounting num
bers of drugs used today in
the practice of medicine have
become a matter of increas
ing concern in recent years
and there is recognition in
both lay and medical circles
that these problems are not
receiving adequate atten
tion." Terry noted that the center
would be able to undertake
far - reaching projects of a
scope too large to be handled
by an individual researcher.
A Great Drama Unfolds
By ERNEST ROBL
Tar Heel Assistant Editor
RALEIGH - "One hundred
per cent Americanism . . .
cent Americanism," the
not 99 per cent, but 100 per
speaker shouted. A ripple of
applause ran through the au
dience. The scene was the auditori
um of the Legislative Build
ing in Raleigh. The occasion
last Thursday's session of
the speaker ban hearings. The
speaker was Dudley Robbins,
former commander of the
North Carolina Department of
the American Legion.
Robbins had come to ex
plain why the Legion took such
an active part in campaigning
for the retention of the con
troversial law. His fervent
speech, however, showed only
one of the many aspects of
last week's hearings.
The entire mood of the
hearings, which took up most
More Restrictions
Auto Regulations
Stiffen For Fall
Zoning of parking areas on
campus, a change from win
dow to bumper stickers, the
towing away of illegally
parked cars, and the creating
of a special traffic office in
South Building were some of
the changes included in a new
set of campus parking regu
lations announced this week.
The new regulations, which
will allow students to park
only in areas close to their
residence halls, will go into
effect with the opening of fall
session.
The complete regulations,
together with a three. - color
map showing parking zones,
will be distributed during reg
istration. Under the new policy, there
has also been a revision of
qualifications for obtaining
parking privileges: .
While the regulation barring
freshmen from having cars on
campus continues, this ban
has been extended to all
"single nqn-freshman under
graduates having less than a
C' average (2.0)."
Previously only sophomores
failing to meet the 2.0 require
ment were barred from oper
ating cars on campus.
Also, "single students may
not have more tlrn one mo
tor vehicle registered at any
given time.
"Married students may not
have more than two motor ve
hicles registered at any given
time."
In addition to the zoning of
student parking, there will
be a subdivision of faculty
parking, with faculty mem
bers only being allowed to park
in designated areas close to
buildings in which they work.
The registration fee for cars
has been raised from $2 to $5.
"To enforce the zoning,"
Bob Kepner of the office of
As Hearings Drone On
of the morning and afternoon
of both Wednesday and Thurs
day, changed with each wit
ness. Some speakers found the
audience responsive, others
droned on and on, and at one
point a spectator in the third
row dozed off.
With outside temperatures
touching the 90's and hot tele
vision Klieg lights burning
away inside the auditorium,
the building's air conditioning
equipment fought a losing bat
tle. During the final stretches
of the afternoon sessions, a
number of spectators began
to mop their brows and fan
themselves with hats.
Like the mood of the hear
ings, the composition of the
audience changed from day
to day, and even from morn
ing to afternoon sessions.
There were a few who were
present at each session, fill
ing the reserved seats of the
the Dean of Men explained,
"we will tow away cars
parked in a zone for which its
sticker is not valid." These
cars will be towed to a com
pound now being constructed
near the Buildings and Grounds
area on Airport Road.
When campus police Chief
Arthur Beaumont was asked
whether locked cars would
pose a problem, he replied:
"It's easy; we just pick them
up in back and tow them away
like that." Beaumont also
noted that if campus police
found it necessary to open a
locked car, this would not
prove too difficult.
"The operation of a motor
vehicle by a student is a
privilege," the new regula
tions note, "and it is not to
be construed as a right. The
Dean of Student Affairs is
authorized to suspend or re
voke the parking permits is
sued to students who commit
three or more offenses in
violation of traffic regulations
within a period of one aca
demic year.
revocation shall be interpreted
to mean that the offender may
not possess or operate a mo
tor vehicle in or around
Chapel Hill for the period of
suspension or revocation. Any
student who fails to compy
with the terms of the suspen
sion or revocation may, at the
discretion of the Dean of Stu
dent Affairs be suspended
from the University."
In addition to the usual $1
ticket fee, now payable by of
fenders, a towing fee of $10
and a storage fee of $5 per
day will be charged.
According to Kepner, a spe
cial Traffic Office to deal with
"gripes" will be set up in the
Dean of Men's office, 02 South
