C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1956 \o Slump Spoil in l \r Knrollm« k iH University officials pre-| (lictinl yesterday that en rollment for the. spring se mester would approximate that during the fall. And] that is extraordinary. Usually registration for the spring studies is con siderably under that of the previous semester. However, after taking--a quick jieek at the present figures, Uni-* versify authorities said the. enrollment would be close to 6,575 students, the number enrolled in the fall. But they would give out no official figures, because the last day of registration for* all stu dents does not come until Tuesday, Fehruary 7. Meantime, let’s just say there are more than 6,500 students on hand, trees bare, temperature in the low 50’s, scholars zestful, and visions of academic processions in June far beyond immediate horizons but well within imaginative visions.

When I entered the Uni- | versify in 1899 there were ■ only t ight buildings on the I campus. Three (the Carr, the Alumni, and the Mary’ Ann Smith) were added ’ while I was a student. There 1 were no buildings south! 1 of Memorial Hall, (lerrardj' Hall, the South Building, the ’ ;Library (now the IMaymak- 1 ers Theatre), and the Carr dormitory. L Against the south side of the Library were several long wooden benches. The sun beat down u[xm them and they were protected ' from chill winds. On many , days in the late fall, winter, < and early spring they were \ ideal for basking, and 1 re- ’ member that 1 used to go ] there between classes and , stretch out on one of the ’ benches to read or doze. The 1 good feeling this gave me ‘ is one of the happiest mem- ( ories of my student days. , That is the place 1 think < of whenever 1 hear or read, 1 the phrase, southern expos ure. And 1 am reminded of it by another southern ex posure that we have in Chap- i I Hill today, the wall of he courtyard of the Caro- 1 ina Inn on your right as you go up from the high- ! way to the cafeteria. The ; path here.is the one that' runs alongside the Alumni Association offices and the private dining room which, when tiol being used for din ners, is used for television. One thing the Inn badly! needs is a place where guests j can sit out in the sun and away from the wind. The , suggestion has been made to Mr. Rogerson, the Inn i manager, and tie says he ikes it, that the stretch I have described be prepared | for sun-sitting. No furniture or equipment needs to be bought.
