Record Is Set For Enrollment Summer Total Hits Highest Mark Ever By Raney Stanford The largest number of students in the University's summer session his tory, 4100, were enrolled here by last night, said Guy B. Phillips,- director of this year's summer school. "This approximate total does not include the special summer work shop, law, or public health students," Phillips explained. He said that reg ular enrollment would probably reach 4200 before closing, as a number of pre-registered students have not pick ed up their class cards yet. The num ber of second-term students has not been tabulated. "The end of registration, and the deadline for all schedule changes, has been set at 4:30 Tuesday afternoon," the summer school head said. After today, there will be no more Saturday classes scheduled until July 19, Phillips concluded. To meet a critical shortage in the city and campus water sup ply, the University authorities are rushing building plans for a new water filter plant, capable of producing three million gallons a day. The trustees' building commit- tee met on June 4 and appointed W. A. Olsen of Raleigh as engineer in charge of designing and constructing the new plant. The committee plans to ask permission of Governor Cherry and the Advisory Budget commission to go ahead with the construction as soon as a contract can be let, to meet the emergency.

By Charlie Gibson As a climax to almost a year's work by students, faculty mem bers, and the townspeople of Chapel Hill, the state motor ve hicle laws are now applicable to the University. On May 27 the Board of Trustees also adopted special campus traffic regulations which will be legally enforced in the local courts. In this manner successful action was accomplished on a major cam pus problem to which the Student Legislature first called attention in the fall quarter of 1946, recommend ing to the University administration and Chancellor House that a "safety committee" be appointed to improve the hazardous traffic conditions here. This committee was composed of rep resentatives from the faculty, the township of Chapel Hill, State high way patrol, the attorney general's of fice, and the student body at large with a student, Duke Wilder, appoint ed as its chairman. Upon consultation with the State attorney general, the committee found! immediately that neither the Chapel Hill ordinances nor the State vehicle laws pertained to the campus at that time. The rules which the committee then formulated passed through the proper legal channels of the State and the University and are now law. Major Issues Posters giving the complete details of the regulations have been circulat ed throughout the campus. The major issues involved are the student own ership of automobiles, parking on cer tain streets, carelessness of pedes trians, and excessive speed in Victory Village. Hereafter the drivers of all ve hicles, public or private, are to obey the instructions of any peace officer having jurisdiction to enforce the Statewide motor laws as well as the campus and township magistrates. No person shall deface any official traf fic devices. With the campus deemed as a business district, its speed limit shall be 20 miles per hour; and signs will be erected soon to curb speed at intersections further. In Victory Village pertinent rul ings will safeguard the welfare of veterans and their families living in dangerously congested areas where traffic is a particular menace. A speed of 15 or 10 miles will be en forced at those intersections around which children may play. Pedestrians will not be allowed to walk in any street, roadway, alley, or driveway in such a negligent man ner as to endanger his own safety or to constitute an unreasonable impedi ment to lawful vehicular traffic. . Parking will be carefully super vised. No person shall stop any car or See TRAFFIC, page 4. Dancing Classes Will Start On Tuesday for Six Weeks Henry Wallace is pictured above as he spoke before .a packed audi torium in Hill hall Thursday afternoon, June 5. Wallace spoke under the auspices of the Southern Conference for Human Welfare. He pre faced his talk about the U. S. policy in Europe by recalling previous visits to the University campus. (Photo courtesy of Durham Herald.) Dr. Oliver K. Cornwell, director of physical education, has announced that on Tuesday night at 7 o'clock the first of a six week series of classes in social dancing will begin. The weather and the size of the crowd will determine whether the classes will be taught in Woollen gym nasium or on the patio outside the gym. Bill Townsend, special student in journalism, former New York City and Miami Beach entertainer and dancing instructor, is teaching sim ilar classes at Duke University and State college and will instruct the classes here. Waltz, foxtrot, jitterbug, rumba, tango and samba will be offered to the students participating. Class hours will be divided into 20-minute periods, and the dance that the majority of pupils wish will be covered for each period. The American dances will be taught on Tuesday, beginners from 7 to 8, and advanced from 8 to 9,' and on Thursdays at the same hours, the Latin dances will be given. With the exception of the first two weeks when a required groundwork of tango, fox trot and waltz will be taught, the choice of the dances to be taught will be up to those attending the classes. "This series of dancing lessons is part of the regular physical educa tion program," said Dr. Cornwell, "and there will be no charge made to students and their wives." Several coeds with experience if dancing teachers will be on hand to assist Mr. Townsend. Daily Tar Heel Needs Workers for Summer There will be a mass meeting of all students interested in working on the Daily Tar Heel during the summer months Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the DTII office in Graham Memorial.
