llimination of an estimated
383 parking spaces to provide
elbow room for a booming cam
' pul : construction program has
foted the Student-Faculty Traf
fic and Safety Committee to ban
- stuient cars from the campus
m prper, Chairman Larry Botto
said yesterday.
The most striking change in
' th revamped parking regulations
- is 'the revoking of parking pri
vil:ges from red-sticker, or com
mit ex, students living outside the
"walking zone" established last
yetr.
The reason for the move was
explained simply no room. The
construction of the new three
bulding School of Business Ad-
mhistration knocked out an esti
mated 225 parking spaces in the
pa-king lot behind Memorial Hall.
The construction ax fell on 88
spaces in the lot at the rear of
th. Library, 30 spaces behind

"UNPLUG THAT BOTTLENECK!" was the anguished cry of the mobs of students who had to stand on aching dogs waiting in
line under the "Typist" sign in the Woollen Gym registration madhouse this week. Head Cheerleader Joe Chambliss, seen just beyond
lhe empty typewriter slot (out to lunch, no doubt) doesn't seem to mind it a bit, but if you'll note the other facial expressions you'll see
that he's the only one who doesn't.
Fewer Ves, Younger
Enroll; Regisfraf ion
By Den Maynard
If appearances mean anything,
the' yon r jroi sst is i aliisf-fvf
the class of 1954, according to
Director of Admissions Roy Arm
strong. The GI and his , Bill ; is
giving' way to the high school
student, he declared. - , . ;
Several cases of graduate stu
dents applying, at the ,. Graduate
School office and being referred
to General College because of
their youthful appearance be
fore their status was recognized
were reported, Armstrong said.
There are fewer veterans reg
istering and all indications point
to a smaller total registration,
he says. No official figures are
available at this time, but esti
mates place the University's fall,
1950, enrollment at somewhat less
than the 7,515 total for the fall
of 1949. .
. Part of the decrease may be
attributed to the . international
situation, Armstrong opined, and
added that the lack of housing
is discouraging a number, of
would-be applicants.
With the razing of the quonset
huts and the conversion of Miller
Hall to .office r space, . a. shortage
of some 350 beds has sprung up.
The burden will fall upon town
quarters and. somewhat; cramp
ed dormitory facilities.
Yesterday marked the last day
of mass registration in Woollen
Gymnasium. Today, tomorrow,
Saturday and Monday students
will register in their respective
deans'-offices.,
Monday, the University's books
will close, and no one will be
allowed to register for this fall
quarter, according to Armstrong.
A late registration fine of $5 will
be levied on those who failed to
register Tuesday and yesterday.
This quarter registration marks
a first for a new school and a
new dean." Dean" Thomas Carroll,
of the School of Busines Admin
istration, and his assistant, John
O'Neil, are both going through
their first enrollment period , at
this" University. . . ,
Dean' Carroll came to Chapel
Hill from Syracuse . University
last spring to take over the posi
tion vacated by retiring Dean
D D. Carroll. O'Neil is a gradu
ate of the University, and a
r nresident of Phi Beta
Kanro, honorary scholastic fra
ternity, here.
This fall also marks the first
registration for Dean O. J. Cof
fin as head of the newly created
School of Journalism. "Skipper
was head of the Journalism De
partment for almost 25 years..
Registration lines at the gym

nasium moved faster and more
efficiently this fall than in pre

of a new appointment system

Draft Scare Skyrockets
Applications For ROTC
Faced by military service, pos
sibly immediately, an unprece
dented number of Carolina stu
dents have applied for admission
into the Naval and Air Force
reserve units at the University.
Lt. Cmdr. William J. Manning,
NROTC executive officer, said
yesterday that a record number
of 300 freshmen have applied to
be admitted into the NROTC con
tract program. -.
He said selection of students for
the regular program was made
last spring. .
The regular program, virtually
a four-year scholarship to any
one of 52 leading universities and
colleges where NROTC units are
located, offers commissions tc
men in the Navy or Marines with
the stipulation that they serve
two years on active duty after
graduation. They take approxi
mately six weeks of active duty
training each summer while in
college.
As a contract, the student re
ceives identical Naval Science
courses, but has reduced bene
fits and no active duty require
ment upon graduation.. Only . qn?
summer' is spent fin training. J
Of 200 freshmen applications
received for the AROTC, 120 have
been accepted, Lt. Col. Jesse
Moorehead, unit commander, said
yesterday. He said this is the larg
est number that have yet applied.
The AROTC has 400 students
working in its program, a maxi

With the tearing down of 30
irni.:frte.- rnd. Miller Hall's
conversion into office space, the
men's housing situation on cam
pus has become acute with little
relief seen until the completion
of the new million dollar dorm
behind the Monogram Club.
The removal of the huts and
Miller Hall created a shortage of
some .350 beds for incoming fresh
men and transfer students, James
E. Wadsworth, housing adminis
trator, said yesterday. He pointed
out that dormitory space nor
mally used for studying, social
rooms, and several storage rooms
have been pressed into service.
Indicative of the cramped quar
ters are the basements of Stacy,
Alexander, and C Dormitories
which are housing freshmen.
Wadsworth declared the hard
est hit students will be out-of
state students and transfers.
" "We can't' assure them any
thing; we're hoping for an easing
up during January, but we'll have
to wait and see," the housing of
ficial said.' k
With the opening of the Glen
Lennox apartments, on the Ra
leigh Road, the crowded condi
tions for married students have
been lessened, Wadsworth assert
ed. "We're placing most of the
families which apply," he. said.

helped a great deal," Wadsworth
added.

M.Arthur:
Wipe Out Reel Pockets
ON THE RIVER FRONT, NEAR SEOUL, Korea, Sept. 20
(AP) General Mac Arthur visited the Han River front to
day and watched U. S. Marines clean out North Korean
pockets along , the stream and on key ridges.
Marines who crosseq the river-
captured the village of Haegju
after a two-hour fight and then
swung eastward toward Seoul, six
miles away.
MacArthur appeared serious but
his aides said they were, well
pleased by the operations. Major
Gen. Edward M. Almond, Tenth
Corps commander, said the cam
paign' was going "excellently."
MacArthur stood atop of ; the
high observation post overlooking
the Han while Lit. Col. Ray Mur
ray of San Diego, CaL, described
this mroning's crossing.
Below, the winding river and
its bordering rice fields looked
quiet, but the Americans were
busy flushing out Reds.
' Murray said two tanks" were
across the river by 10 a. m. (8
p. m., EST). As he talked, a new
wave of Marines began crossing
the river in waddling amphibious
tractors, but this time there was
no opposition.
MacArthur then drove through
choking dust along a road beside
rice paddies where Marines were
searching for snipers, and came to
the edge of Young Dungpo, indus
trial suburb of SeouL
Heavy black smoke rose from
three oil fires. :
Marine Col. Lewis (Chesty)
Puller told MacArthur "the town's
about burned out."
MacArthur then drove down a
narrow rutted road through rice
fields to a point three miles from
Yongrungpo. The front was just
over a small rise directly ahead.
Warplanes wheeled overhead.
Their bombs echoed across the
flat valley, where Koreans placid
ly harvested their rice amid the
turmoil of military columns.
Mortar, artillery and machine
gun fire split the air.
Puller told MacArthur that "one
of my boys got two tanks, then
was killed trying to get a third."
MacArthur shook his head.
"That's too bad," he said.
Turning to Murray, whose out
fit made the Han River crossing,
MacArthur said: "You've done a
perfect job."

He said the Rendezvous Room

ing and continue in regular oper
ation. Closing will come at coed
hours.
Saturday and Sunday the Ren

Rathburn said the room will

A new lighting system will

Rosa Lee said floor shows are

The main lounge-will be open
with numerous facilities avail
able. More than 20 magazines and
newspapers are subscribed to,
Rathburn said. There is a large
radio as well as plenty of over
stuffed furniture for lounging,
added the GM director.
One of the newer features of
the student union is a record
room located on the mezzanine
formerly occupied by the Carolina
Quarterly. A variety of records
from hillbilly to heavy classics
can be checked out at the GM
office.
Rathburn said the carpentry

was Rolfe Neill as managing ed
itor. Parker, a junior, and Neill,
a sophomore, have both served
continuously on the newspaper
since they first enrolled. .
Parker was appointed manag
ing editor last spring, and Neill
sejved under him as news editor.
Two other publications vacan
cies wre also open as the Uni
versity began its 1950-51 academic
year.
The death of J. Merritt Lear,
long-time publications servant as
faculty adviser to the Publications
Board, and the graduation of
Board Chairman C. B. Menden
hall left two important gaps in
the publications framework.
Sports Editor Zane Robbins
was named acting 'chairman of
the Board, while Sanders appoint
ed Doug Smith, former business
manager of the Yackety Yack,
to fill the senior seat vacated by
Mendenhall. Gerald A. Barrett of
the Commerce School is serving
as faculty adviser to the Board
until a new one can be named.
Filling out The Daily Tar Heel's
department head lineup are Ed
Williams as business manager
and Chuck Hauser as editorial
page editor. An experienced, but
small, staff is handling the pro
duction of the paper under the
department heads until new staff
members can be trained.
In other Publications Board ac
tion, the financial body voted to
appoint Chairman Robbins as the
representative of . the Board ta
confer with the chairmen of the
two campus political parties on a
Publications Board reauest thsfc
the parties refrain from making
nominations in the coming special
eiecnon.
Robbins explained the Board's
action was based on the belief
that the editorships of campus
publications should not be made
political footballs. The Board's
proposal is to let any persons
interested in running for the edi
torship deciare as independent
candidates and "run on their own
merits and qualifications for the
job."
Robbins said it was the belief
of a number of members of the
Board that The Daily Tar Heel
race in last spring's general elec
tion slipped deeply into the cam
pus political plane, and that it
was detrimental to the quality
of the publication.
