Photo by Jim "Wallace Record Enrollment Of 5200 Arrives For First Session By JOEL BULKLEY Mnr than 5.200 students, the largest number in UNC's Summer Session history, registered for the first six-week term this week, ac cording to Summer bession direc tor Dr. A. K. King. rf rcinff renored yesterday that 5,200-5,300 students have already registered, but added that final figures will not be available until MonHnv hficause late registration doesn't close until 4:30 p.m. today.' This vear's enrollment, an esti mated ten percent increase over last vear's first session total of 4,646, has forced the opening of all dormitories on the campus for the influx of summer residents.' Several that had been held back for Dainting and . repairs were scheduled to be opened this week Besides the dormitories utilized fnr those regularly enrolled, six -including Ehringhaus and Craige are being used to house those attending special conferences, in stitutes, workshops and short-term courses here. Resides those regularly enroll ed at UNC some 239 new freshmen and permanent transfer students have already entered Dr. King said, along with about 1,000 "visit ing" students. These are students who are not regularly enrolled here, but who are taking summer courses. Dr. King noted that Monday's registration went "better than ex pected" despite the 90 -degree weather and waiting lines that of ten extended far into the Tin Can parking lot, adjacent to Woollen Gym. He said that 800 "visitors" had pre-registered, but that more than 500 regular UNC students had registered late. Even so, Dr. King added, "registration went smooth lv." Onlv 300 students went through drop-add Tuesday, he con Segregation Prohibited The Mayor's Committee on Inte gration recommended this week that the Chapel Hill Board of Aldermen enact an ordinance prohibiting seg regation in Chapel Hill s public businesses. The proposed public accomoda tions law would make it illegal for restaurants, retail stores, theaters and similar establishments doing business with the public to deny service to anyone on the basis of race. Mayor Sandy McClamroch, the chariman of the committee, also re cently made public a survey com piled at his request by the Mer chant's Association. The results of the survey are as follows: 165 retail businesses provide equal service without regard to race (an estimated dozen or less do not). 131 service type organizations (service stations, fuel oil distribu tors, etc.). have no racial restric tions on services. 47 professional people (doctors. lawyers and dentists) have no racial bars. In the cast of service organiza tions and professional people, the Merchants found none practicing segregation in service. First la State The proposed law. if passed. will be the first in the state although the committee was told that there are such ordinances elsewhere in the country that had been upheld by the courts. , The committee also reviewed its previous efforts in desegregating Chapel Hill businesses. The Committee had sent letters and contacted directly proprietors of segregated eating establish ments in Chapel Hill. The following businesses were reported to have shown little or no inclination to change their segregation policies: Colonial Drug Store, Leo's Grill, Clarence's, The Shack, Brady's, The Pines, The Patio, and Tar Heel Sandwich Shop. The Committee members agreed that they had exhausted all possible efforts to encourage the businesses to desegregate be fore recommending the public ac commodations ordinance. The Committee also decided to send letters to Chapel Hill's motels asking them to desegre gate and offering the Commit- rlnded.

That is far in excess of the regular fall and winter en rollment total at Chapel Hill.
