Study Results From Action By Legislature Trustees Will Act On Recommendations By Ed Joyner As a result of action institut ed by the Student Legislature, Robert A. Burch, State High way commission traffic engineer, will come to Chapel Hill this week to begin a traffic survey pre paratory to making recommendations to help solve campus and town traffic problems. Burch, a -graduate of the Yale school of traffic engineering, will study the problems of campus park ing areas and make a survey of traf fic passing congested points about the campus and town at rush periods. Following his survey, which will last a week or ten days, Burch' will make recommendations for improvements to" a safety committee which has been appointed by Chancellor Robert B. House. With the increased University en rollment in the last year and a half a corresponding influx of motor ve hicles brought new traffic problems to Chapel HilL Recognizing these problems, the Student Legislature last fall passed a resolution asking Chancellor House to appoint a traf fic safety committee to investigate and make recommendations to meet the situation. The safety committee set up by House was chairmaned by Walt Brinkley and consisted of Clifford Face of the Institute of Government, Sgt. E. S. Harris of the State High way patrol, T. W. Bruton of the At torney General's office, Town Man ager T. E. Hinson and Town Attor ney C. P. Hinshaw, P. L. Burch and J. A. Williams of the University Busi ness office, and J. B. Linker and J. C.

With its brother society, the Di senate, the Phi is credited with enlarging the University library, origi nating the Carolina? white and bine colors, and of publishing the forerunner of the present Carolina Magazine. The officers of the society pictured are, top row, left to right: Robert Morrison John Giles, Charles 1 Britt, Margaret Gokknani Lester Sneedl Bottom row: Peter Gents, James Hill, Chester Zum Brnnnen, Orren Hyraan, Margaret Jean1 Taylor Chatle Cowelt During the winter quarter Duke Wilder replaced Brinkley as chairman and Allen Pannill was added to the committee. One of the first problems that the safety committee came up against was the discovery that neither the Chapel Hill police nor the State Highway patrol or ahy other agency had autnorlty to enforce traffic regu lations on University streets. To remedy this difficulty, T. W. Bruton of the Attorney General's office drew up a bill which provided that the highway "rules of the road" as set forth in chapter 20 of the North Carolina general statutes be made applicable fo the streets of the University. The bill author ized the board of trustees to adopt any further regulations they deem ed necessary. After the proposed bill was con sidered and approved by the safety committee, the Chapel Hill board of aldermen, and the executive commit tee of the board of trustees, it was presented to the state legislature by the representatives of Orange, Wake, and Guilford counties and passed on April 5. Since passage of the bill a sub committee of the safety committee, composed of Duke Wilder, ' Clifford Pace, J. B. Linker and J. A. Williams, has been working out traffic and parking regulations to apply to the campus. Final recommendations of the com mittee will be submitted to the board of trustees meeting in June and will gc into effect during the summer sessions.
