The biggest problem now, Kepner said, is with undergraduate men. For the past few days, some 40-45 men have been without a permanent place to stay. More students have arrived as places have opened up, so there has been little fluctuation in the shortage. "We will find housing somehow, somewhere for any new student," Kepner said. About 20 students are housed temporarily in the Stacy Dorm social lounge. Other students without dormitory rooms have found places to stay in Chapel Hill. A 4.5 increase in enrollment has r 0 V.

Kepner said more temporary housing can be created if necessary. He added, "It has not seemed necessary yet." "What we are expecting," Kepner said, "is that there will be some attrition from the residence halls and that we will be able to handle some of these needs."

New MMcail Goeirse SttFiives Foir C by Lou Bonds Staff Writer A political science course aimed at getting more student participation in the classroom will debut on the UNC campus this fall. Political Science 95-A will cover contemporary political issues such as violence and nonviolence, race, electoral politics, social and political change, peace and war, sexual politics, protest politics and poverty. . Skip McGaughey and Tom Denver, the political science instructors who innovated the course, said it is not new. The political science department has offered a similar class all along. "The difference now is that the students want the course," Denyer said. "The students themselves will have a strong say in what will be taught." Subject matter will not be the only area in which students have a hand. Some will be teaching the course. McGaughey said Student Body President Tom Bello will '1 r I ' -- t. : jlUUU iif iiiiiii.ii 1 11 i 2 of Stacy Dorm.

There are about 10 graduate women without housing and undergraduate women's housing is tight everywhere. Some double rooms have been converted to accommodate three residents. James Wadsworth, officer of housing assignments, said his office has been very hectic. "The only reason there are not more people in the office is that the office isn't big Wadsworth said the high-rise dorms, usually the last to bbe filled, have been almost entirely taken up. Hinton-James, for example, had two of its ten floors vacant last year. This year James is filled to capacity. The overcrowding of University housing is due partly because of the University-enacted ruling last spring which requires all junior transfers to live on campus their first year. One facet of the housing problem is the elimination of single rooms. Students originally renting a single room are being sent notices of roommate assignments and $75 credit on room rent. E mm Participate be Stallings and other undergraduates. The" two instructors indicated the program could be educational to them as well as the students in that it will "attempt to find new solutions to old contemporary types of problems and will answer questions in our own minds about the educational process." Denyer said a list of 150 texts will be offered from which a student must choose seven to read. According to McGaughey and Denyer, several speakers will be sought to talk and answer questions in the classroom. Chairman of the political science department John Martz gave his approval to the course, saying it would be useful in providing "a meaningful faculty-student relationship." "My hope is that the experience will contribute to the student's knowledge of his role on campus and in life in general," Mart, said. "I hope it will prove successful." Students should have no trouble enrolling in the course, for enrollment is unlimited now.

One asks for rehef from the injunction so the legislature can meet to appoint the members of the Supreme Court necessary for a quorum. The other asks that Rutin's name be deleted from the complaint on the grounds Ruffin "is not, no ha been at any time, the authorized Chairman of the Elections Board." At the present time only two justices sit on the Supreme Court -Benton, who is the senior justice, and David Crump, who was appointed to the court last spring by Student Body President Tom Bello. The first order of business for the court this afternoon will be to name a third justice to the court. The Student Constitution states that the Supreme Court will be composed of five Justices: four associate justices and one chief justice. Appointment of justices, according to the amended Supreme Court Bill of 19dS, can be made only by a two-thirds vote of legilature. However, in a case last year, the court itself, upon agreement among the justices, filled out the membership with "emergency justices" to hear a specific case. The court ruling this afternoon will be on whether resignations announced at summer legislative session were made in accordance with the Student Legislature Bylaws which provide that resignations must be submitted to the speaker in . writing. Normally there are 50 members of the ' legislature. A quorum is 26 members. Reports on the number of legislators present at the summer session vary. Some say there were 21 legislators present; ' others, 22.
