it since joining the force,"' re
marked Chapel Hill Policeman

add up his score of accidents cov

for accidents, it was never this
bad," he said.

fessor of Romance Philblogy.

an important place in music and

the religious life of the community.-

h rench government for his con

trench language and culture.

vard and spent a short period of
study at the University of Paris.

vices. He has been a Kenan pro
fessor since 1945, and is a Fel
low of the Medieval Academy of

Ages and of Old French language.
False Alarm
The second false fire alarm
within a two-week period was
iurned in Sunday night when
both of Chapel's fire trucks
were called io Smith Dormitory
about 11:10.
The person who turned in the
alarm has not been found, police
reported yesterday.
Another false alarm was re
ported May 7 from Spencer
Dorm. Arthur F. Greenbaum,
Baltimore, Md., turned himself
in to Police Chief Sloan for
turning in the alarm. He is sch
eduled io be tried on the charge
today in Recorder's Court.
Greenbaum gave no reason for j
turning in the alarm. Turning j
in a false alarm is covered by a
stale l3w rather than a. city or
dinanco. The estimated cost, ac- j
cording to the City Manager for '
answering the alarm was 350.

A Negro boy escaped' injury
when his bicycle collided with a
car driven by former University
student Gran Childress near Fow
ler's Food . Store Saturday. The
bike was destroyed.
. The only reason the Dolice could
give for the bumpy weekend was
that there was just enough rain
to mix with oil and slicken the
roads.
Some observers attributed the
large toll of accidents to the draft,
which many college students will
face after leaving school next
week; others opined that it might
have been the influence of "that
last big weekend."
Whatever the cause, Chapel
Hill had never seen the likes of
it and members of the local police
force were hoping it wouldn't be
repeated in the near future..

an e&uinaiea o.uu to a.auu en-
rollment for the fall Quarter was
announced yesierday by Director
of Admissions Roy Armstrong.'
But Armstrong asserted. . "It isi
extremely difficult to make, pre
dictions of the actual number here
next September' because of the
uncertain draft situation." '
He also pointed out that since
the Selective Service expects
200,000 less students to be defer-,
red because of the College Quali
fication Tests, this figure may, g
down. . .
600 of these enrolled now for
September are freshmen with the
usual 15 percent out-of-state fig
ure included.
A negligible amount of veterani
as compared to this year's ap
proximate 1,500 will be entered!
in the University, according -to
Col. F. Carlyle Shepard. Expected
enrollment of Vets may vary frora
500 to 800, depending on the in
ternational situation and the
amount of money left to vets' OH
the GI Bill. . ,
Armstrong explained that the
general enrollment figures vary
from week to week and that tha
number of transfers is much less
than last year.
The expected 230 freshmen en
rolling June 12 who will nrorpwl
on a regular quarterly basis'als$

The University budget is figured

Enrollment after the war hit a
high of over 7,000 while next
year's figures may prove to '., be
the lowest since before the war.
Numerous students left schooi
during the Winter Quartet to en
