Prouty And in that town a dog was found, As many dogs there be, Both mongrel, puppy, whelp and hound, And curs of low degree. Oliver Goldsmith died before Chapel Hill was founded; but had he been a native of this Village instead of Ireland, his lines above would have been just as apropos. For, without doubt, Chapel Hill comes as close to being a dog heaven on earth as any communi ty in the country. Dogs of all kinds, sizes, shapes; pedigreed dogs, whodunit dogs, hounds, giant Newfoundlands, Doberman pincers, and just pain, ordinary flea-bags happily roam the town and campus, unmolested, unat tached, and, for the most part, unlicensed. They gleefully and futilely chase the innumerable squirrels, they saunter disdainfully past the "No Dogs Allowed" signs in Lenoir Hall to accept the ever tic though obliging students. British Author To Speak Friday In Gerrard Hall Norman Tiptaft, former Lord Mayor of Birmingham, England will address Summer Session students, faculty and the general public on living conditions in Britain under a labor government, Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock in Gerrard Hall. His appearance here is being sponsored by the Summer Session, with the co operation of the North Carolina World Peace Forum. Tiptaft is touring the United States for a period of four months and is scheduled for lectures in the major cities of-the nation. He was managing director of one of the most modern silverware and jewelry factories in England un til 1935. He has travelled on business in India, China, Japan, Malay, Canada and Europe, in cluding Russia and Germany. His activities in public affairs include the chairmanship of the Birming ham civil defense committee dur ing the war and following the Lord Mayoralty, the chairman ship of the civic reconstruction committee. Upon his return from a lecture tour with the British troops in the Middle East, he wrote numerous articles for the British press, did various broad casts, produced three books, one a satirical skit on modern Eng land and a best seller. Dean Guy B. Phillips, director of the Summer Session will pre side at the lecture session. The speaker will be introduced by Chancellor Robert B. House, who is president of the North Carolina World 'Peace Forum. Graduate Students Given New Dorm The University housing officer J. E. Wadsworth announced' to day that all graduate students who desire to room this fall in the new graduate dormitory should drop by the housing office and fill out their applications. Graduate students who have al ready filled out their forms are requested to turn them in as soon as possible so that assignments may be made. This move is at the option of the students themselves and is not compulsory. Wadsworth also warned all stu dents that the deposit which they have made for summer accomo dations does not entitle them to the same rooms this fall. Those students who are planning to be here for the fall quarter should jmake another application for fall rooms, to avoid confusion later. They walk nonchalantly into classrooms for a mornihg or after noon snooze, paying not the slight est heed to the erudite lectures. They gather in unbelievable numbers at every athletic con test; and by cavorting on the playing field they succeed in temporarily stopping the play in four of every five games, much to the amusement of the specta mains that there are a great num ber of dogs in Chapel Hill, and they all have a doggone good time. Dog days are not just the six weeks from early July to early September in the Village, as in other communities. Dog days are 365 days a year here in this combined Paris, Miami and French Riviera of dogdom. Here the canines have the run of the town and campus, living as best suits their tastes, with never a dog catcher's shadow crossing their happy paths. Occasionally the city officials half-heartedly announce that all unlicensed dogs will be taken into custody and destroyed if not claimed and licensed. But inevitably tradition Summer School Enrollment Sets New Record The largest summer school en rollment in University history went on record yesterday with 4.52G students registered for one or both sessions, according to ) Guy B. Phillips, director of sum- mer school. tion has seen heavy enrollment by 'teachers and graduate stu dents, but a sharp decline in vet erans' enrollment, said Phillips. Phillips said all possible ad justments are being made in an effort to keeD the size of class- ... rooms at a medium which . prove most favorable for both students and faculty The biggest problem facing registration officials to date has been a shortage in staff members, and the lack of budget facilities, the office reported. As registration ended yester rolled to supplement the total of rolled to suplement the total of 2,600 who had pre-registered dur ing last .quarter. The new record in summer en rollment exceeds last years' re cord by only a narrow margin, the enrollment at that time hav ing been set at 4,445 students. GM to Give Dance - For ''New Students A dance in .honor of the new students will be held Saturday night at 9 o'clock in the main lounge of Graham Memorial. Everyone is invited to attend. Music will be furnished by "Chic" Burroughs and his Carolinians. The regular masterpoint bridge tournaments are scheduled each Tuesday and Thursday night at 7 o'clock. These tournaments are not continuous, so that a player can enter either night. But Di rector Bill Shuford emphasized the importance of being on time for the tournaments.. And for those who would like bridge in struction, Howell Peacock will give lessons in beginning and ad vanced bridge Monday nights at 7:30. Bingo games will be a usual Saturday night feature in the main lounge. Bingo games will also be played in the Rendezvous on Tuesday nights. Ping-pong tournaments will be held on Thursday nights. overcomes official fervor, and present hand-outs of the apathe soon the whole thing is happily a gathering of ten or more peo forgotten, while once again the pie in Chapel Hill which did not furry free-loaders bustle with carefree activity. In all the better canine com munities pedigree is the thing. In Chapel Hill pedigree isn't worth the paper it's written on so far as the dog is concerned, that is.

Pete Strader, director, will i audition old and new talent for the summer . musical comedy "Mardi Gras," for the annual Freshman night show in Septem ber, and for a projected revue for the benefit of the WSSF. "Mardi Gras" with . original music by Tread Covington and a book by Pete Strader and Colbert Leonard is a complete, authentic musical comedy with the requis- ...-Jite amounts of songs, dances and , . . .

However, the events surrounding the boy and girl are anything but. If an ad jective is needed, Thorne Smith ish will fit very nicely." With three shows to cast a large number of singing, dancing, acting, and technical parts are available. Director Strader ' em phasized that previous experience is unnecessary and everyone is welcome. Wallace Club Is Planning Petitions The Students Wallace-for-Presi-dent club met on Friday night and outlined a program in which members will canvass several nearby towns in a move to se cure the Chapel Hill quota of the 10,000 valid signatures necessary for placing Wallace's name on the North Carolina ballot in the No vember election. Vice-Chairman Paul Morehead presided at the club's initial sum mer meeting held in Graham Memorial and attended by ap proximately 50 members and visitors. No Yacks Yet As the DTH went to press, there was no further explanation for the delay in Yackety-Yack de livery. Gene Johnstone, the only one of the board of editors now in school, said that he hoped yearbooks could be on hand for distribution sometime next week. As yet, though, there has been no word from the binders, Lassi ter's Press in Charlotte, to ex plain why the Yacks were not available yesterday as was origin ally announced.

Playmaker officials emphasized in the announcement that per sons taking part in the activities do not have to be drama majors, but that any students in any de partment at the University is eligible to take part. . Without Canine Participants Gentlemen dog in recent Chapel Hill history is Dan, the old English setter owned by Professor Lee Wiley of the Romance Languages De partment. Dan, who goes home only when and if the ' mood strikes him, roams the campus, the classrooms, the athletic fields at will, and is equally at home in dormitory, fraternity house, cafeteria, fire station and what -,nave you. Everybody m town friendly " with everybody, Dan never takes up with any one per- son or group for long. New King of Canines Not so long ago Dan left town : r. , , , . where he had gone.

In the "Y" building itself, such permanent public facilities are to be continued as the lost and found bureau, a student directory, and bulletin boards for advertis ing rides, saies, rentals, and data on campus activities in general. Also, a "Y" representative is al ways on duty at the information desk in the lobby to give what ever assistance is possible to stu dents, faculty, and townspeople alike. Other cabinet officers besides McLeod who were elected during the spring quarter include Betty Perkinson and Rita Loeb, secre tary and assistant secretary, re spectively.

According to Childress, there will probably be summer memberships open for those in terested in forensic participation. The Philantropic Assembly, the other forensic society on campus, voted earlier to remain inactive for the summer because so few members were expected to be in 'school. on Campus PaA MflA aiuie ivieer State Officials to Give Lectures on Government Offices More thnn 270 high school boys from all sections of the state gathered here Sunday for the opening of the 8th an nual Boys' State, sponsored by the American Legion and di- j reeled by the University's In stitute of Government.
