Students Cautioned To Pay Telephone Bills By May IS By JAMES DALE Special to the DTH All telephone bills are due Mav 15 (through the May 1 bill") and all outstanding bills will be turned over to the Uni versity Cashier at that time. "A "running account is kept of all student accounts and all those students that have not paid their May bills by the 15th will have their grades held un til a paid receipt is obtained from the telephone company," said John R. Cox, commercial manager of the University Ser vice Plants. "There will be no credit ar rangements except in the case of an emergency," he said, -but in such a case we will be glad to help the student." Students will receive their final bill (for calls made after the May 1st.) after June 1st., and it will be sent to their home address unless the stu dent notifies the telephone company otherwise. Students should also notify the phone company as to what date they taff Sweer&s fir Ernie McCrary Ed Freakley ly in the Southeast.

Only the students in Morri son Dormitory need not notify the telephone comapny, as their phone will be considered disconnected on the same day the student leaves the univer sity for the summer. If stu dents in Morrison do not want their final bill sent to their home, they should notify the telephone company of the dif ferent address. Cox said the policy of turn ing bills over to the Univer sity Cashier will also be fol lowed for electric and water bills. Students in apartments should be sure all their May bills are paid by the 15th., and that they have given an ad dress for their final bill in June.

Dr. Slocum has conducted it since 1945. During this time the orchestra has play ed over 150 compositions. Sev eral of these have been writ ten by UNC students. The orchestra and the Op era Workshop presented Puc cini's "La Boheme" recently. Lattie trouble is caused by losing students through grad uation, Slocum said. But there have been a few "lean years" for some instruments. He said this year's practice is coming along fine. "We get better each practice." The orchestra plays only in Chapel Hill. Slocum said the variety of people involved pre vents any tours. "It would be impossible for all members to spare the time involved."

SP Meeting j Slated For This Evening The Student Party will meet at 8 in Gerrard -Hall tonight. The question of annulment of the action taken at the last meeting will be considered. According to Student Party by-laws, the action could not have occurred at that meeting.

Bv BILL AMLONG DTH Staff Writer Fire damage to Chez Kemp Ltd. and Courts' Drug Co. was estimated Saturdav at about $100,000. The blaze began about 9:30 p.m. Friday in the rear of the two-story frame building that houses both the East Franklin Street businesses. It took firemen an hour be fore they had the blaze which burned its way up a flight of stairs and into the attic under control, said Chapel Hill Fire Captain Ev erett Lloyd. The blaze did heavy struc tural damage, Lloyd said. Firemen feared at one time that the first floor ceiling might cave in. "Fire damage was heavy in the rear," said Lloyd. "Heat and smoke damage was all over both buildings. There wasn't much water damage." No cause has been determ ined yet for the blaze. "We're not considering any arson at this time," said Lloyd. Although Lloyd declined to place a cash estimate on the fire, other sources placed the damage at about $100,000. Dr. Ben Courts, owner of the phar macy, said the figure seemed correct. Both the pharmacy and the record shop are covered by fire insurance. The building is owned by M. A. Abernathy of New York City, said Capt. Lloyd. He said Kemp Nye, who runs Kemp's, is the manager. Evidence of the heat dam age was visible to passers-by Saturday as many paused in front of the stores, cupped their hands around their eyes and pressed their faces to the soot-blackened glass. Inside Courts', plastic dis play cases sagged and ball point pens were curled like candy canes. About 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Dr. Courts pulled away from the blackened building. A charred cash register sat in the back of his station wagon. He was in the process of moving to a new location next to the North Carolina Nation al Bank. A new inventory of drugs is being shipped and will arrive today. The new store will be open Monday morning.
