10 THE NEWS AND OBSERVER, RALEIGH, N. C. Tuesday Morning, January 8, 1957 UNC Housing Shortage Continues Critical By BOB MYERS. CHAPEL HILL, Jan. 7-Dawn of a new semester on the academic horizons of the University of North Carolina will find the worst housing shortage in UNC's history only partially alleviated when February arrives.

A normal slight drop in enrollment for the spring semester is pected to sooth crowded conditions of the University's 19 men's dormitories trembling on their cornerstones since September. Additional dormitory space made available by men moving to suitable off-campus residence and pledging in fraternities may relieve the undesirable three-menper-room conditions in several dorms, according to Housing Director J. E. Wadsworth. Living conditions in six women's dorms, with a capacity of 567, are equally critical as three months ago when every available facility was taken by the influx of 1,500 coeds.

Total number of women accepted is always limited by the availability of dormitory space, -cording to University policy. No immediate end is in sight for the acute shortage of suitable quarters for the university's 1,500 mar ried students. In September 500 names formed the waiting list for quarters in the University's 356-apartment Victory development for married students. There is a current waiting list of 300 names held over from the first semester, 36 new applications for the spring and other and fall 1957. requests flowing, in for the summer Some 43 student families withdrew applications for Victory Village space this term because of dim prospects of securing housing.

The trend of applying a year in advance is sometimes fruitless. Contributing to the current university problem among married students is high cost of outlying rental establishments. Many student families are unable to pay monthly rental fees typical of some off-campus rentals, and Today's Horoscope ope ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be very careful in any dealing with those in authority.

He played the jack of diamonds from dummy, and both opponents followed. He led the eight from dummy and East followed. Who had the missing ten-spot? It seemed no real problem to South.

Why would East want to kill his partner's queen of trumps unless he, East, thought he could develop a trump trick in his own hand? South let the eight ride, and West pouneved with the ten to defeat the contract. Declarer should have gone after trumps right away and taken the normal second -round finesse. This would have worked, whereupon he would have had no difficulties. Brunswick's Phones Are Nearer Brunswick's Phones clamor for the monthly tory Village apartments. To meet the serious campus housing problem, construction is expected to begin in February on three proposed men's dorms and an addition to one women's dorm.

However, the new facilities to house 600 boarding and 75 women will not be available until September 1958. A two million dollar loan from the Federal Housing and Finance Agency for dormitory construction was granted 1955 and authorized special meeting of the Consolidated University Board of Trustees following the overflow of present campus quarters this year. erect Victory Village University, also hopes to units in the future if construction is approved.

The serviceable life of units of this type is about seven years.

The most crucial aspect of the on-campus problem, the tripling. up of men in 15 dorms, curred by the influx of 6,749 students in September, the largest enrollment since 1949. Housing officials are seeking to eliminate the impractical three-man rooms as soon as possible. It is said that UNC is one of the few universities where students of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, law and public health are now living in threes cramped into rooms of two-men design. Several temporary structures no longer suitable were available in 1949 to house the record enrollment of more than 7,000 students.

JACOBY ON BRIDGE When South looked at dummy, he wished that he had bid less ambitiously. The slam was possible but not probable. In actuality cards lay so that South could hardly fail to make his contract against ordinary defense, but East and West found a way to allow him to set himself. South won the opening club lead and proceeded to cash the other two high clubs in order to discard a low spade from dummy. He next played the ace and anther spade.

East rose with the king, and South was really pleased when West dropped the queen. Now all he needed was to pick up the trumps. East saw little future in any lead, but decided to play his nine of spades anyway. Declarer played the jack, and West trumped with the queen. Of course this Modern automatic dial telephone service for the major rural areas of Brunswick County, a dream and a goal of rural and small-town people for at least the last eight years, moved a big step forward toward its reality the "opening bids" for within the few days past, construction of a quarter million dollar outside plant, according to Walter E.

Fuller, director of rural telephone service of the North Carolina Rural Electrication Authority. Bids were opened for the construction of 235 pole miles of telephone plant to, provide, service on a five-year basis members. Of the five firms bidding for the work, T. L. Dysard Sons Construction Company of Statesville le was low bidder in the sum of $248,358.74.

Records of the Authority indicate that the leaders of rural Brunswick County have been working in a organized way to secure telephone service for at least eight years. Beginning in 1948, the Governor's office received pleas for. assistance in securing telephone service from Mrs. Hazel Purvis, preside of the Home Demonstration Club; T. T.

Ward, president of the County Farm Bureau, Dr. R. H. Holden, Odell Williamson, representative of the county; and E. D.

Mintz Kirby Sullivan and Jim Bowman, representatives, and Joe Stanaland, president of the Farm Bureau, as well as the town officials of the towns of Shallotte and Bolivia, rural leaders and county officials Is have loaned their efforts and support to efforts to establish telephone service in the rural areas of the county. The organization of the Atlantic Telephone Membership Corporatioin in 1955 and the securing approval of the REA loan in the amount of $381,000.00 exemplifies what rural people can do. The contract for the manufacture and installation of the automatic dial equipment to serve the area of Atlantic Telephone was awarded to the Stromberg-Carson Manufacturing Company on May 1 of 1955.

The equipment is at present being delivered and will be installed and ready for operation at such time as Dysard Construation Company, completes the outside plant, which is not pected to require more than several months.
