Despite disagreements between telephone subscribers and Southern Bell, students continue to use the phones in the Union.
Mousing space limited; waiting lists lengthy
UNC students searching for living space
this late in the summer may have a hard time
of it, as both University housing facilities
and most apartments in the area are full,
with waiting lists.
Dr. James D. Condie, Director of
University Housing, made an appeal last
week to people in the Orange-Durham-
Chatham area with available apartments to
contact the Housing office.
Campus residence halls are full, and all
have waiting lists. Sandi Sellars, Housing

Under Zoom-Zoom
staff member in charge of off-campus
housing, said that study rooms in some
dorms will be occupied by students with no
other residence. All freshmen must live in
residence halls, and drawings are held every
year among the upperclassmen wishing to
return to the dorms.
Most apartment complexes around the
University are also full. Margaret Fisher,
assistant manager of The Village
Apartments, says all apartments are
currently full and she has a waiting list of
around ten people. "We're full through
September, then we have a couple opening
up. But everything else is taken."
"It's just very, very tight," said Sellars.
"What they need are more apartment
buildings. Financially, it's not realistic to
build more dorms."
But Sellars said no one yet has come to the
Housing office because of an unsuccessful
hunt for off-campus housing. "If they keep
looking, they're going to find something.
Even if it means going door-to-door. People
in Chapel Hill are really nice about these
things."
Housing contracts are sent out in the
spring, and assignments are made by the
end of the summer. Apartment hunters in the
University area usually begin their search in
the early summer for the fall. But by now, the
chances for finding housing for the fall are
slim.

Editor's note:This news analysis is based on
a research project done by five UNC students
for Speech 56 during the first summer
session.
Since Southern Bell began operating the
telephone services for the Chapel Hill
community, the company has implemented
policies regarding fees and services that have
met with the disapproval of many students
as well as other Chapel Hill residents.
The debates over how and by whom the
telephone service should be operated began
in 1971, when the N.C. General Assembly
appointed a committee to study the utilities
operated by the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill. This committee was
to "recommend the retention or the sale,
lease, rental, transfer, or other disposition
of these utilities. The committee, composed
of twelve members of the UNC Board of
Trustees, was authorized to act in the best
interest of (a) the state of North Carolina, (b)
The University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, (c) employees of the utilities, and (d)
those served by the utilities. By 1973, the
committee decided that these four interests
would benefit from the sale of the university
operated utilities water, electric, sewer,
and telephone. The North Carolina Utilities
Commission approved the action and the
four utilities were placed on the market.
Southern Bell was not initially among the
contending bidders in the closed bidding
process. The company was involved in an
anti-trust suit at the time and wanted to
avoid the appearance of. buying smaller
telephone companies. Although they
claimed to be uninterested in the Chapel Hill
area, Southern Bell was forced by the North
Carolina Utilities Commission to submit a
bid for the Chapel Hill system. Even though
another company had submitted a bid which
was $2 million higher, Southern Bell was
chosen to purchase the system with their bid
of $24 million later readjusted to $26
million to accommodate improvements
