Near-Record Enrollment For Fall
To Result In Housing Problem
By BEVERLY JOHNSON AND
MARGARET NASH
The largest total enrollment in
nearly ten years will result in
critical housing problems for
UNC students this fall, according
to Director of Admissions Roy
Armstrong.
Dormitory residents will be
forced to double up and some stu
dents will be required to live in
private residences during the
.housing crisis all this despite the
fact that the University has been
forced to turn away 45 of the
freshman applicants.
"All dorms have been filled up
for several weeks," Armstrong
reported. "It has been necessary

off so much better by the deeper
voiced-males. But for the most
part' even the males have not
matured enough to project their
voices to the far reaches of the
outdoor theater here on campus.
Despite the minor flaws in
casting and the expected amateur
ish production of a mediocre play,
The Insect Comedy does provide
for a stage full of vigorous
activity.
The insignificance of the hu
man race is shown through the
similarity of people to insects. .
The play is like a mirror of hu
man life. Such scenes as beetles
hoarding their manure pile and
craving more so as to be ahead of
the other beetles, the fly murder
ing the crickets to feed his
spoiled daughter, a larvae and the
butterflies making violent and
passionate love, provide moments
to remember.
In the last act, while parasites
devour the profits and products
of other insects, the red ants and
the yellow ants have a war over
who shall have the right to travel
a particular path between two
blades of grass.
The last scene is the "Destruc
tion of the World" by, a big
philosophical boot showing that
regardless of how big and im
portant certain events and things
seem to be, they are really quite
insignificant in comparison with
the universe.
Mrs. Louise Lamont directs this
two hour satire while Barbara
Bounds and Tommy Rezzuto
handle the choreography and
technical aspects respectively.
Capek's clever satire will make
some laugh and others feel a
little uneasy, but either way, one
dollar is a bargain for such an
unusual bit of entertainment.
to convert two-occupant rooms
into three-occupant rooms. In
addition, the University has had
to find rooms in town for grad
uate students." "
A near record enrollment of
7,300 students is expected this
fall, Armstrong said. Of this
number, a total of 1,250 freshmen
will be registered. Also, 350 new
undergraduate women have been
r.dmitted, bringing the total of
coeds to about 1,100.
This is the largest total enroll
ment since the post war year,
1948, when 7,600 students were
registered. This year's enrollment
is an increase of 200" to 300 over
last year.

faith because of the unusual turn
of events brought about by their
"capturing" themselves.
"What have we got to lose.
We've got plenty," said the trio's
leader with a shrug of his
shoulders. Without hesitation he
peeled off 42 crisp new $100 bills.
"So long," said the bandits as
they took their tickets and ex
pense money and left.
"So long, yourselves," exclaim
ed the editors as they gleefully
eyed the, $42,00, announced sus
pension of publication of the
paper, started boning for exams
next Tuesday and Wednesday and
looked forward to some happy
vacation trips themselves.
The orientation program for all
freshmen and transfer students
will begin Wednesday, September
11, at 7 p.m. in Memorial Hall.
After "a week of meetings and
testing sessions, registration for
these students will be on Septem
ber 17 and 18. At this time all
former UNC students not pre
registered will also register.
Classes will resume on September
19.
In addition foreign public
health students from all over the
world will begin arriving Satur
day, August 17, to participate in
a special program of orientation
prior to entering the regular fall
semester in the School of Public
Health.
New opportunities are being
provided also for freshmen wom
en this fall. Two approved pro
grams of study will be inaugu
rated. The first of these is a
course in physical therapy, the
first two years of which will be
spent in general college and the
last two years in the school of
medicine. A four year program in
medical technology will also be
provided, of which the last year
will be spent in Memorial hos
pital. Other courses open to fresh
men women including nursing,
pharmacy and dental hygiene.
Regarding the general excel
lence of entering freshmen, Arm
strong reported that another
superior class is to be instituted
this fall. Each class, composed of
25 students and under the direc
tion of four professors, is pro
vided with an accelerated pro
gram of study.
Thirty-one Morehead scholar
ships have also been awarded to
outstanding freshmen, bringing
the total number of scholarships
to 105.

said that thus , far only a "bare
bones program" has been re
leased. Included in the royal party
will most likely be, in addition
to Governor and Mrs. McKeldin,
Gov. and Mrs. Luther Hodges,
UNC President and Mrs. William
C. Friday and officials of the
University of Maryland.
The office of Governor McKel
din will announce the official
list at a later date. As is cus
tomary in Britain, the teams may
be presented to the Queen and
the Prince. However, the em
bassy representative emphasized
that the decision would rest with
the Governor's office.
Student opinion on the campus
seems to be in a state of excite
ment. Most students who have
been asked about the game
already are planning to attend.
No classes are scheduled for the
date; thus a mass exodus from
Chapel Hill is expected.
In addition to the sports press
coverage, some 300 requests for
press seats are expected from
newsmen covering the Queen's
tour. The London Times was the
first to call the University of
Maryland and request press
reservations.

Not Much More Time Left
Before Summer Is Over
By PATSY MILLER
Five more days and the party
is over; the summer is over;
exams are over.
The campus of UNC will settle
for a few quiet weeks of rest be
fore fall ushers in a long year
lacking in beach weekend inter
ludes. And the traditional summer
romances will begin the tests of
true love.
All the imported coeds from
girls schools will have to settle
for the sickening atmosphere of
maybe a few moth-eaten profes
sors (if they are that lucky) and
remember on dateless nights the
fabulous seven-to-one man-to-woman
ratio in Chapel Hill.
The boys from "cow college"
(lesser known as State in Raleigh)
and the less ivy leaguers will
yearn for languid nights of beer
drinking and jokes which any
where else aren't worthy of a
smirk.
Fall and winter school have
the bigtime sports for sure, but
Automobile Registration Fee
May Be Reduced This Fall
By BILL CHESHIRE
Student parking fees may be
more than cut in half this fall
as the result of a recommendation
to the University administration
by the Summer School Student
Government Board.
At a meeting of the student
group on Thursday, August 8, the
board voted to recommend to the
administration that the student
parking fee be reduced from the
present rate of $2.50 to one dol
lar. The request was sent to Sam
Magill, Director of Student Ac
tivities. According to Magill, the recom
mendation is favorably regarded
by the University administration.
He explained, however, that the
request will have to be approved
by the Executive Committee of
the Board of Trustees before any
change in the parking fee can be
made by the administration.
"The administration will re
quest the Board of Trustees to
approve the request," Magill said.
"And we hope," he added, "that

nothing quite compares with the
mischievous fun that leisure
breeds.
That's the way it will seem
next fall. Right now it is hot, too
hot, in fact, with term papers
and exams breathing right down
every neck. But give or take a
few study hours, five days can
be known to fly by.
A few industrious students
have let out their plans for the
forthcoming vacation weeks left
in" the summer.G'olf and beach
parties predominate, for the
lucky ones.
Others dolefully have resigned
themselves to boring sessions in
hometowns where weddings have
left the old gang completely void
of good date prospects, let alone
enough for bridge or poker. Then
there are the ambitious ones who
will work the remainder of the
summer.
At last the painful hours of
sweltering study are over, but
then so is the fun, at least for a
little while.
the fee may be reduced by the
time school opens this fall."
Acting Student Body President
Charlie Wolf expressed confidence
that the administration would
give the proposal every possible
consideration. "The administra
tion has been meeting us more
than half way in this matter,"
Wolf said.
"We hope that they will act
favorably on our recommenda
tion. I would like to thank them
also for having secured 500 spaces
for student parking in the pro
posed student parking lot," he
added.
Explaining the use for which
the proposed $1 fee will be used,
Wolf said that it will serve to
defray expenses of decals, reg
istration secretarial help and
"other contingencies" that may
arise from time to time.
Wolf said that the Summer Stu
dent Government Board will
meet again next Thursday for
further consideration of the stu
dent parking problem.
