CHAPEL I DLL, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1965 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 (Continued on Page 2) ' - ill' -'J ' t y-vtM- wm, I X: - X t'J ); : vf A SMILE: That's one thing UNC's Penny Clark will carry to Atlantic City next month for competition in the Miss America pageant.

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 Building.
