Chapel Hill is a place of many
moods. One minute it will be
bustling with activity, and the next
it will be as quiet as the prover
bial lamb.
Such was the case when final
examinations were over For days
students had been moving fran
tically out of town just the minute
their last exam was over. Then
i suddenly, last week, everyone was
gone except for the graduating
seniors and a few miscellaneous
students.
But Saturday the parents and
alumni began to pour into the
town from every possible direc
tion, in every possible kind, make
and model of car. The Carolina
Inn was besieged by hundreds of
people. As one Inn employe put
it, "The place is a madhouse."
After graduation was over,
Chapel Hill got a day of reston
Monday. Tuesday a few summer
students began to trickle in, and
the flood patps "burst Wednesday.

Commencement Speeches
Stress University Freedom
Chancellor William B. Aycock,
addressing alumni last Monday,
and President William C. Friday,
speaking to graduating seniors at
Commencement exercises in the
University of North Carolina, took
stands for freedom and expressed
determination to resist restraints
"by interference or undue pres

For those of you who have never
been here before, you will find
below a brief rundown of the Uni
versity and the town. For those
who have been here before, the
remainder of this article may
serve to remind you of a place
you haven't been to in a while.
We'll take the campus first.
First on the list is Graham
Memorial. Here you will find a
spacious lounge, amply furnished
with soft chairs and sofas, with
music piped in ofrm the informa
tion office across the hall. Right
next to the lounge is a TV room,
which is next to a small kitchen
which has a few refreshments.
Downstairs is te air-conditioned
pool room, along with the endez

perative that the University "be
free to listen to differing views on
controversial issues of the day."
President Friday said, "This
University has withstood pressures
before; I do not fear the future,
for the University will withstand
pressures again."
Chancellor Aycock spoke at the
annual Alumni Luncheon in Lenoir
Hall. President Friday spoke in
- rv
and plenty of room for dancing.
In the hallway are drink and
candy machines. A barber shop
is in the back.
On the second floor are the stu
dent government offices, along
with "The News" office.
You'll find free flicks in the
auditorium at Carroll Hall on Fri
day and Saturday nights. These
flicks range or at least have in
the past from old Lon Chaney
silents to more recent films such
as "Picnic," "Bus Stop" and "The
Benny Goodman Story."
The Pine Room in the basement
of Lenoir Hall is a favorite hang
out for the coffee drinkers and the
bridge players. A juke box is also
found there.
And of course there is the li
brary. We just thought we'd tell
you about it, so you'll at least
know there is one. It's that big
building sitting there across the
street from the Bell Tower. It has
books in it, along with maps,
magazines, newspapers and many
other interesting little things. And
the stacks are air-conditioned.

Chancellor Ayock and President Friday also gave addresses to
the seniors. But, of course, the highlight of the evening was the
conferring of degrees.
For a between-classes break
there's Y-Court. Here you're like
ly to meet that good-looking
blonde who sits next to you in
Basket-Weaving 43. And if you're
not careful you'll lose that donut
to one of the ever-present dogs
who lurk in the shadows to snatch
little goodies away from unsus
pecting students.
If you happen to be up around
the corner of Cameron Ave. and
Columbia St., between classes you
can get that donut at the Scuttle
butt. The dogs are here, too, along
with bees that infest wastebaskets
outside.
The town is equally varied in its
assortment of places to go and
things to do. Beginning on East
Franklin vSt.f there's .' Kemp's
Record shop, , where you can go
and browse, or buy, or browse and
buy. Next door is the Dairy Bar.
Right next to the Post Office is
Harry's, where you can find the
local crop of "beats," along with
contemporary paintings, beer and
a menu that ranges from peanut
butter sandwiches to steaks.

Total enrollment for UNC's
Summer Session is expected to
top the 6,200 mark for both terms.
Over 3,600 students are expected
to enroll for the first term and
over 2,600 are expected for the
second term.
"Inquiries, room reservations
and acceptances indicate some m
crease over last summer's en
rollment," Dr. A. K. King, Sum
mer School director, said Tues
day.
The University will continue
operating on a full-scale basis so
that students can take advantage
of all its facilities.
Courses will be offered in 31
On the same side of the street
you will find the Rathskeller. But
you have to look 'closely at first,
because you have to go down some
stairs to get to it. The entrance
way is right between Sutton's Drug
Store and Ledbetter-Pickard Sta
tionery Store. In the at you'll be
able, to get many different foods,
and many kinds of beer.
If you're a cafeteria fan, you
may ffnd the N. C. Cafeteria or
the Village Cafeteria to your lik
ing. Next door to the Village is
the Goody Shop.
If you want to drink beer with
no fear of succumbing to hunger
pangs, the Tempo Room is the
place for you. For the only thing
other than beer that you can get
at the Tempo is pretzels, pickles
and pickled.

fields for undergraduate, gradu
ate and professional students who
will be able to take required and
elective courses in regular degree
programs. UNC is also the place
for teachers seeking renewal of
certificates.
Over 20 per cent of the enroll
ment will be teachers, most of
whom will be enrolled for a de
gree program in the Graduate
School.
A special program for music
teachers and a program in spe
cial education for teachers of slow
learners have been added to this
summer's courses.
Six to seven hundred visiting
students from other schools are
expected to enroll. Last summer
over 80 different institutions were
represented here.
The summer faculty will consist
of 215 regular staff members who
will be supplemented by more
than 50 part-time instructors and
lab assistants and 22 visiting in
structors.
"The range of courses offered
at all levels during the summer
is one of the largest offered by
any institution in the Southeast,"
Dr. King said.
"This summer wCl also be re
membered as the first ' one in
which we extended the comforts
and efficiency cf air-conditioning
to the general student body," he
said.
Lenoir Dining Hall and a gen
eral study room in the library
have been air-conditioned. Pea
body Hall will be air-conditioned
shortly after the opening of the
first term of the summer. -
'We believe air-conditioning will
pay big dividends in causing stu
dents to accelerate their studies
which will result in the fuller
utilization of our facilities oa a
year-round basis," Dr. King said.
The offices of the Summer Ses
sion have been moved to 101 Pea-
body Hall which is located in the
new addition of that building.
