They will hold office until the close of summer school on August 27, Bennett asserted. "Ordinarily campus elections for the student council in the summer are not held, but since this session has been made into a regular quarter and there are so many students attending, it was felt that there should be additional representation on the council," Ben nett affirmed yesterday. t The function of the student council during this term will be much the same as during the regular session and cases will be brought before the council and decisions will be handed down as usual. In addition, the council will continue its policy of publishing facts, penal ties, decisions and opinions in student cases at regular intervals in the Tab Heel. Two cases which came up at the close of the last spring term will be published in this Friday's edition, Bennett stated. All namesjsvill be with held fronTthe public. Due to the wide activities of student government this summer, Bennett urged all summer students to show an interest in the nomination and elec tion of the two student council rep resentatives.

Construction of New Carolina Theatre May Be Resumed Within Next Ten Days Workers will resume construction on Chanel Hill's new Carolina theater within 10 days, according to E. Car rington Smith, city manager of North Carolina Theater company. Work stoppage was ordered by the War Production Board June 6, when a general cessation of all amusement construction less than 60 per cent com plete was effected through the office of Donald M. Nelson. The new theater is more than 85 per cent finished. Smith is now awaiting a govern mental assignment to continue con- o . struction. The assignment is expected to come within 10 days. Building materials for the theater arrived in Chapel Hill before Christ mas. Smith has encountered no labor shortage, and because only plasterers will be employed henceforth, no short age of workers is expected in the future. The present two-week holdup will set the opening date of the theater for September 1.

Henry Moll, former editor of the Carolina Mag, replaces Cochrane as director. A member of the V-7 class of the Naval Reserve, Cochrane will be sent to South Bend, Ind., for indoctrina tion and preliminary training. Upon completing the V-7 course, he will be commissioned in the Navy as an En sign. As a student at Carolina, Cochrane was speaker of the turbulent legisla ture which abolished the notorious Buccaneer. He was a member of the debate council and leader in both the Di senate and Phi assembly. Tapped into the Golden Fleece, his most out standing work was with the Institute of Government as editor of the insti tute's magazine, Popular Government. He was graduated with an LL.D. de gree. Henry Moll, newly appointed direc tor, was editor of the Carolina Maga zine which won the Pacemaker award, See COCHRANE, page U will present shows similar to those now staged at the smaller Carolina theater. Prices will not increase. This largest building on Franklin street's business center will boast 1,100 staggered seats, improved projection and sound equipment, men's and women's lounges on the second floor, eight hard-of-hearing installations, air conditioning throughout, a house tele phone system, two refrigerated drink ing fountains, a candy bar, complete fireproof construction, automatic cur tain control, semi-modern interior decoration, and a large projection room. Either the present Carolina or Pick theater will close down upon the open ing of the new playhouse. If the Pick theater continues operation, sound equipment from the Carolina house will be installed there. Only one theater will be kept open on Sundays. By ordering all materials necessary for the construction of the building last fall, Smith avoided conflict with Summer Term Registration Reaches 1,710 Total Falls Short Of 1941 Figure Summer registration reached 1,710 by noon yesterday, I. C. Griffin, as sistant registrar, announced yester day, declaring that registration desks would close this afternoon at 4:30. After this time, he said, there will be no schedule changes. The total reached at noon yesterday fell 60 short of the total enrollment of last sum mer's first session. It was not indi cated whether officials expected the last day of registration to boost totals over last year's mark of 1,778. Examination of last year's enroll ment revealed that 453 students had registered in the school of Arts and Sciences, 118 in the school of Com merce, 162 in the General College, 772 in the Graduate School, 26 in the Graduate School, 71 in the school of Library Science, 38 in the school of pharmacy, 77 in Social Work, and 137 in the Extension Division. Of last summer's first enrollment, 920 were men, 858 were women. Grif fin said that final registration figures would not be available before the end of the week. At that time, he said, the final totals would also reveal the home states of the students. Officials pointed out gas rationing might be responsible for the failure of the enrollment to top last year's figure. Enrollment last spring reached 3,492, as compared to the now enrolled 1,710. Students who register today at the last regular registration must do so through the individual deans of the departments, it was announced. After receiving their schedules, they must pass through the tally line on the sec ond floor of Graham Memorial. Registration after today will be al lowed only through special permission of the Central Records Office and the respective, deans, of t departments Flaming Track Driven To Fire Department For Extinguishing Gurney Riggsbee discovered a fire and carried it to the fire department the logical place. At 12:30 Sunday night, Riggsbee, engineer with the local Bennett and Blocksidge company, saw flames in i pile of trash on the backend of a pick up truck parked for the night in the company's warehouse behind the Franklin street store. Leaping to the driver's seat, he drove the naming chariot irom the ware house and onto deserted Franklin street convenient for firemen and iso lated from buildings. The alarm was promptly turned in and the honk of Chapel Hill's inimitable fire siren brought firemen, fire engines and half clad students to the scene. Chemicals quickly quelched the flames. Quick thinking on Riggsbee's part saved the entire block of buildings of which Bennett and Blocksidge's ware house was a part. Fire officials attri buted the blaze either to spontaneous combustion or a carelessly thrown cigarette. Riggsbee's lucky." comment was "I was priorities regulations. This is the first delay in construction progress that has been met. Smith expects a favorable govern mental decision on the theater con struction because the building is much more than the necessary 60 per cent complete. The June 6 order, Smith declared, stated that work on amuse ment buildings throughout the coun try must be stopped and that work on near-complete structures could be re sumed on later orders. Architecture of the new theater fol lows a characteristic style that has been injected into all Chapel Hill buildings erected in the past several years. A large side door and three front doors encompassing the width of the struc ture will permit overflowing movie crowds to filter out without jamming, a condition constantly found in Chapel Hill's two houses now operat ing. Smith reported that several on lookers had mistaken these exits for spaces for commercial stores.

Accidentally received yesterday morning, the wound came from a .22 calibre rifle bullet which entered the side of his stomach. University medi cal authorities rushed the student to the Durham hospital for the emer gency operation. The hospital staff stated that Lloyd was resting quietly following the suc cessful operation yesterday afternoon but was still too much under the in fluence of sedatives to explain the ac cident. W.

Speculation arose yesterday from the statements by three boys in the house at the time that they had not heard any gunshots but there were no other indications that the wounds were "anything but accidental." A senior in the University, the Plain field, N. J., student is enrolled in the first session of the summer quarter. He is a member of the Chi Psi social fraternity and has been a varsity pole vaulter with the University track team for the last two years.
