FRIDAY ISSUE Next Issue Tuesday Vol. 33 No. 40 Aldermen and Planning Unit Hold Meeting With Babcock By Charles Dunn For almost two hours Tuesday night W. F. Bab cock, consulting traffic en gijtter from Raleigh, dis cJßed his preliminary re port on thoroughfare plan ning and traffic operations for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area before members of the Chapel Hill Board of Aider men, the Planning Board, and other interested persons from the Village and Carr boro. Very little ndt included in the preliminary report was discussed at the informal meeting, and no action was taken. Mr. Babcock said the preliminary plan “was noth ing but away to begin," or / “a starting point for argu ment.” He suggested the lo cal officials “sit on the plan for a\ while” and think it over. He added that officials could now take certain ac tion but both the aldermen and planning board mem bers “should try to visualize the proposals and form their own opinions.” As for himself, Mr. Bab cock said he was going to “a much needed vaca tion,” but that he would re turn late in August and “sit down with the aldermen or the Planning Board and firm up the thoroughfare plan,” or “bring before the Board of Aldermen a detail ed plan which it could act on as an ordinance.” Following the meeting, Mayor Oliver K. Cornwell said it was “a grand report” that “showed a lot of things that we can do now, and a lot of things that require further study.” He added that the report had “a lot of meat in it,” and that evi dently “a lot of hard work has gone into the prepara tion of it.” Although no action was taken, Frank Umstead, chairman of the Planning B«Ad, suggested that “cer tain things can and should be done immediately. Then the people can see the good of it, and will better accept some of the later improve ments.” One of the major prob lems discussed at the meet (Continued on page 12) Adams to Conduct Outdoor Services Raymond Adann, University professor of English, will con cha the morning worship ser of the Community Church of Chapel Hill this Sunday, July 24, in the Forest theatre (or in Hill hall in case of rain).

(Photo by Hauser) About 400 people, includ ing merchants, their fami lies, and guests played hard, ate heartily and thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the annual picnic of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Merchants as sociation at Camp New Hope Wednesday afternoon. Threatening weather cut sharply into the anticipated Future Growth of University Must Be Considered in Local Traffic Planning The University and its poten tial growth, says traffic engineer W. F. Babcock of Raleigh, are prime factors to be in formulating traffic and street plans for the Chapel Hill of the future. Mr. Babeock, who Was hired by the town to survey its traffic needs and to recommend solu tions to its traffic problems, is convinced the University “will increase in size to a large extent in the next 20 years.” The advantages of a coordina ted academic area, he says in the report which he hss turned over to the Board of Aldermen, “indi cate that the University at Chapel Hill will become larger rather than separating into a number of smaller colleges in different cities.” Mr. Babcock says the present street and building pattern dic tates that walking must be the main means of travel between academic buildings. Students, with no campus parking permits, have already found that out. “The future type and amount of development of the Univer sity,” Mr. Babcock continues, will have an important effect upon the street pattern and, converse ly. any major thoroughfare will have a pronounced effect upon the operation, efficiency and desirability of the campus.” Here are some of Mr. Babcock’s specific recommendations con cerning streets in and around the campua: 1. Country Club road and Ral eigh street: At the present time they are serving as campus ac cess streets and as major artar iea for tha town. A new street should be developed in this area to serve city traffic. 2. South road (ths Raleigh road): It has become surrounded by the, campua. It must serve as a campus street and an im portant major thoreaghfare. In I order to accomplish this, park ing must be eliminated and, in the future, the street widened to Eastern Star Leadei Mra. Hilda S. Halliburton of Clyde, N. C., Worthy Grand Ma tron of the Order of Eastern Star in North Carolina, made her offi cial visit to four chapters of the 10th district her# Wednesday night. University Chapter No. 264, Order of Eaatern Star, was host ess to the other three. They were the Donie Rich Patton chapter of Durham, Hillsboro of Hillsboro, and Benjamin Stanfield of Craad more. About 160 member* of tha Eastern Star and Masonic lodgaa of ths four communities war# present at tha official visit of Mr*. Halliburton, made in tha hail of tha Univarsity Masonic Ladga Ms. 408 an Wast Franklin The Chapel Hill Weekly 5 Cents a Copy attendance. However, more than 100 prizes ranging from automobile tires to. lamps and ice cream, all donated by association members, were carried home by the lucky as well as the able participants. President Crowell Little welcomed the throng, and Joe Robbins, chairman of the promotion committee, accommodate four moving lanes of traffic. (Note: This seems a strange recommendation, tinea, with parking reiroved, tfcg Ral egh road can easily handle four lanes of traffic.) 3. Cameron avenue: It should be preserved as a local street for campus traffic and as an ac cess to parking areas. 4. Pittsboro road-Columbia street: This thoroughfare serves today and must serve in the future as a major radial route from the south carrying traffic to and from the central business area. Although it might be de sirable to divert traffic from Col umbia street to Pittsboro street, Pittsboro street cannot economi cally be extended to Franklin and Rosemary streets. Thus, Columbia street must have park ing restricted and, in certain areas, be widened to accomodate four moving lanes of traffic. On another important problem, Mr. Babcock has this to say: “Student parking has become a major campus problem. There are not enough streets to handle I this parking. It would appear impractical to ignore this prob lem or attempt to eliminate stu dent ownership of motor vehicles. The trend of modern living, de centralization of living, business and recreational activities indi cate that there will be more and more atudent vehicles in future years. “The answer to the student parking problem appears to be the development of large peri pheral parking lota for the stor age of atudent vehicles. These lots should be within 1,000 to 1,600 feet of the living areas. “It does not appear practical to encourage atudent driving on the campus by the expedient of reducing the campus area to a large parking lot. Land for pres ent and future parking lots should be designated in the near future as streets will be needed to serve these parking areaa.” r Pays Official Visit street.

G. At dinner the other eve ning we were talking about teachers we had had in school and college—their merits and defects, their eccentricities, the results they got or failed to get in trying to stuff learning into us. Mi3s Ellen Tanner told of something that happened one morning at St. Cather ine’s, the celebrated girls’ school in Richmond, Vir ginia. The class in English literature had turned in, the day before, their blue-books with answers to a quiz on “Macbeth.” The teacher be gan the recitation period by flinging the blue-books on her table with such fury that many of them tumbled on the floor. Then she ex claimed: “If ever I regret ted being an old maid I am glad of it now because of be ans’ saved from being the mother of anybody as stupid : as the members of this, class 1” * * * * Among the Chapel Hill ians who read about Stan Musial’s home run that broke up the AJI-Star Game last week, or heard about it over the radio or saw it on the TV screen, I wonder how many are aware that right here among us is a man who, if he had accepted an offer made to him by a Big League manager, might have been as famous as Musial. He is Oscar A. Hamilton. There was no rule against freshmen’s playing on the varsity when he was a student. He enter ed the University in 1906 and for four seasons, 1907- 1910, was the varsity first baseman. He fielded his position brilliantly and was a tremendous swatter. One of his longest hits was in a game against the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The ball went over the centerfielder’s (Continued on page 2) of the stations as possible and become acquainted with the oper ators and with local citizens.

FRIDAY 1 ISSUE Next Issue Tuesday * To accommodate the in creasing registration at the University this fall, three | students per room will be put in Lewis dormitory and possibly in Aycock, Housing Officer James Wadsworth said this week. Os the 19 dormitories on the campus, Lewis will make the 10th which will have three students per room. “Already all the dormi tory spaces, including those which accommodated three students per room last year, have been filled and we are opening up other dormitor ies which will take three 'students per room,” Mr. Wadsworth said. Roy Armstrong, the ad missions officer, announced this week that the registra tion for the 1955-56 term would be approximately .6,400 to 6,500 students. That would.be the second highest enrollment on record at the University. He added that housing wouljl, present a problem. Mr. Wadsworth agreed, but he emphasized that every effort would be made to accommodate all who wish to attend the Uni versity. “We don’t want the impression to be that we are unable to accommodate stu dents, because some of them might be discouraged and seek admission elsewhere, and we would lose some good ones,” Mr. Wadsworth said. “We will open up every space that we can place stu dents so they will not be too uncomfortably or too incon venienced. Hi fact, it’s not the unmarried student that we are much concerned with. We can take care of the single folks, I believe; but it’s the married couples that we are having difficulty get ting housing for.” He explained that the available places of residence in Victory Village and out in town for married couples, some with children, are al ready taken. Victory Vil lage, for instance, has a waiting list of 400 appli cants. Many of them are professional students, and many of them are already here in school this summer and will retain their resi dence under the priority (Continued on page 6) 4 Schinhan Flies to Harvard Meeting Jan T.
