Former
chancellor,
age .95, dies
By KRISTEN GARDNER
Staff Writer
Robert Burton House, a former
University chancellor credited with
helping to start or rebuild 14 UNC
departments and schools, died Mon
day, August 17, at his Chapel Hill
home. He was 95.
House was chancellor of UNC
during the Depression and World
War II, and the Undergraduate
Library was named after him when
it opened in 1969.
House was chancellor during a
major growth period for the Univer
sity. Fourteen schools and depart
ments were founded or rebuilt,
including art, dentistry, journalism,
medicine, music, naval science, nurs
ing, public health, sociology and
social work.
House began his career in UNC
administration in 1926 as executive
secretary to President Harry Chase.
He was named the first dean of
administration when the University
of North Carolina was consolidated
in 1934, and his title was changed to
chancellor in 1945.
House retired as chancellor in 1957,
but continued to teach in the Depart
ment of English until 1962.
After earning a bachelor's degree
in 1916 at UNC, where he was the
school's first honor graduate, House
attended Harvard University, earning
a master's degree in 1917. He served
with the American Expeditionary
Forces in France in World War I.
He was awarded an honorary
doctorate of letters from UNC in
1970, and in 1981 the General Alumni
Association awarded him its Distin
guished Service Medal.
House helped to organize the
Citizens Library Movement in North
Carolina, the Fine Arts of Society of
North Carolina and the North Carol
ina -"Historical" JancTT Literary
Commission.
House's book, The light That
Shines," is about his student days at
UNC.
The Robert B. House Memorial
Fund has been established in the
UNC Department of English. Con
tributions should be mailed to the
Robert B. House Memorial Fund, c
o the Carolina Fund, P.O. Box 309,

assistant in the division of auxiliary
services. '
After Sept. 10, Marriott Corp.,
which operates the food service on
campus, will give the University the
names of students who have bought
meal plans. The University will
determine which students did not
purchase the required minimum plan.
The University pays Marriott the
amount owed by on-campus residents
who haven't bought the $100 min
imum meal plan, Govus said. The
University then assumes full respon
sibility fof collecting the money owed,
she said.
Govus said the $100 meal plan
requirement ensures the continued
operation of a campus food service.
"The University gets 4 percent of
the sales from the food service and
that money is used in equipment," she
said. "We barely make enough money
to keep the place in operation."
The University owns the structure,
furniture and equipment used in
operating the food service, she said,
and is responsible for repairs and
replacement of damaged or worn-out
property.
William W. Dux, Marriott food
service director, said the company's
Carolina food service operation lost
money last year.
Part of the loss was due to first
time opening expenses, Dux said. The
company budgeted $90,000 for open
ing costs and spent $120,000, he said.
Dux said the company hopes to
be in a "break-even position" within
the next year.
To maximize sales, Marriott
assessed last year's business patterns
and made changes in its hours of
operation, he said.
This year the company's deli
sandwich area in Lenoir Hall, called
the Cutting Board, will re-open in the
evenings during the week. Instead of
varying weekend hours, Chase Hall
on South Campus will be open from
11 a.m. until 6 p.m. both Saturday
and Sunday, he said.
Marriott also compared its food
prices with those of local restaurants
and fast-food operations over the
summer and made changes, Dux said.
"Sixty-five percent of the prices
have changed," Dux said. "That's
movement in every direction."
For example, the price of French
fries went down a nickel to 60 cents,
taco salads went up 15 cents to $2.65
and fruit remained 50 cents, Dux said.
