Wadsworth ‘lmpatient*
Work May Begin in Two
Months on New Dorms
By Chuck Hauser
' mJ ini Wadsworth, the Univer
sity’s Housing Officer, has had
a busy week. His problem: Too
many students and not enough
rooms to put ’em in.
Mr. Wadsworth’s office has
been crowded daily with students
—both men and women—looking
for rooms and apartments. At
one point he had so many people
hanging around waiting for non
existent rooms that he put out
an emergency call over radio
station WCHL for offers of space
from townspeople.
I asked Mr. Wadsworth about
the self-liquidating dormitories
authorized by the 1955 General
Assembly. That Legislature vot
ed to permit the University here
to construct two million dollars
worth of student housing, and
okayed another two million dol
lars worth for State College and
one million dollars for Woman’s
College. •
“1 don’t know what the status
of those dorms is,” Mr. Wads
worth said sorrowfully. “We sure
do need them now.” He admitted
that he was a little “impatient”
to have new facilities available.
Claude Teague, University
business manager, had the ans
wers to the questions on the new
dorms. He said the major factor
in delaying construction of the!
has been development!
oiyarchitectura! plans. He didn’t j
anticipate any financial troubles.!
“We hope to start construction
before Christmas,” he said, "and
there’s a chance we’ll have them
under way in another two
months.’
v The. University Board of Trus
tees will hold a special session
here at 11:30 tomorrow morning
to discuss authorizing issuance
of the bonds with which to
finance the new housing facili
ties. The two million dollars will
go to build three men's dorms in
the Kenan Stadium area and an
addition to Spencer Dormitory
women. f *
...... u.cii’s'dorms wni provide
spaces for a total of between
800 and 650 residents. The Spen-1
rer addition will take care of
about 75 coeds. (To get an idea:
of the size of the men's dorms:
Cobb, the huge H-shaped dormi-:
tory on Country Club Road, has
spaces for 425 students. The newj
Arms will hold slightly over
200 occupants each.)
Meanwhile, 15 men's dormi
tories at the University are be
ing crowded with students at the
rate of three men to a two-,
space room. Four other dorms— |
Cobb, Winston, Joyner and Con-j
nor—have only two men to a
room, except for some rooms
designed for three occupants in
Cobb. In addition, some dormitory
basements are being used tempo-,
rally for “barracks” housing.
Estes Hills Opens Sunday
The formal opening of the Es
tes Hills residential subdivision
will get under way Sunday at
ntiA, when five new houses will
for inspection by the
general public. One of the houses
has been completely furnished
and decorated by* Stylecraft In
teriors, Inc., of Durham, and
will be ready for appraisal Sun- 1
day.
The tract, owned by Service
Insurance and Realty Company
of Chapel Hill, is located within
the city limits in the northeast
ern portion of the town, just off
the Durham Road.
Hardsurfacing of roads and
guttering has been begun, while
piping for city water, sewage,

TYPICAL HOME IN NEW RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION
5 Cents a Copy
I (More than 100 persons, including
!25 graduate students, are being
placed in the basement of Cobb.)
When will the three new men's
dormitories be completed and
ready for use?
Based on the estimate that they
will take one year to build, Jim
Wadsworth will receive no relief
from that direction until the
second semester (early February)
'of the 1957-58 academic year.
And the University enrollment
, continues to grow.

The Trustees will meet with

cigarettes.” He he had
gained 15 pounds. Taking
on more weight is one thing
that is often complained of
by people who rejoice that
cutting out smoking has
improved their physique in
every other way. But Mr.
McCallister doesn’t have to
worry about gaining. He is
one of those persons who are|

may even benefit from, the
'addition of flesh that re

ling football team wil jump head
on into District Three competi
tion tonight at the Carrboro
Lions Park at 8 o'clock when it
clashes with Northern High
School of Durham County in
what should be a bang-up tussle.
Though Chapel Hill has a bet

won both of its starts against
Selma and Cary, non-conference
I foes, while Northern has lost
;to Cary and Hillsboro, Coach
| Bob Culton is expecting his
Roughest game of the season thus

.as we are. The team that wants
I most to win will win,” said
I Culton.
Northern, which is ably coach
ed by Sidney Ray, former Caro- 1
' lina athlete, will outweigh the
Wildcats about 20 pounds per
man in the line, according to
Culton. The team, which features
a good passing attack, is lead by
End Joe Cardon, Quarterback
Don Pish, and Halfback Lin

the Board of Higher Education.
The Commission must pass on

The Board of Higher Educa
