'The Tide Is Turned'
On Summer Enroiiment
"It looks like we've turnad the
tide," Summer Session Director
Guy B. Phillips said this morn
ing in reference to the increased
'enrollment this year for the sec
ond summer session at the Uni
versity.
For several years the enroll
ment dropped off during this
period of school. But this year.
Dean Phillips said, it looks like
'enrollment for the second sum
mer session will be up about
five per cent over last year's
total of 1,830 for this same term.
The calculation was based on
the increase recorded during the
first session this year. Thera
were 2,300 for the first session
last year and 2,510 for the same
period this year.
Although registration didn't
close until 4:30 p.m. today, the
registration was about 100 ahead
of last year's total already at
mid-morning. Examinations for
the second session will be held
August 24 and 25.

PAVING UNDERWAY Residents of Westwood and Forest Hills, accustomed to mud-rutted jr
y roads for many years, watched with delioht this week as wor men and machinery of the William
rhead Construction Company of Durham laid do 'n a plant-mix black-top surfa'ce on their streets.
: paving machine, shown in action above on Du'.jwood Drive, r-ioved along at the rate of several
^ a minute as trucks dumped their six-ton loads o black-top mixture into the hopper. Each load pro-
ij d a. 10-foot wide paving strip, aipproximately 85 feet long. The nominee for the most unpleasant job
he season is the man who drives the machine, s' ov/n above sitting on his p'arch directly over the
of hot plant mix. It has to be laid at a tempera ure of about 300 degrees. Add this to the 90-100
^ -ee weather we'v'a been having and decid if you'd swap jobs with him. The paving program will pi'o-

NEW HOPE BASIN?
The New Hope Creek basin in
the Chapel Hill area figured in a
speech at Lumberton by Senator-
nominee Kerr Scott V/ednesday
night when he advocated a reser
voir in the Cape Fear Valley sim
ilar to the Buggs Island reservoir.
The ex-governor reflected on
the possibilities for the Sanford-
Chapel. Hill area if such a project
were accomplished, and noted that
it w'ould alleviate flooding of the
Cape Fear and open up the Fay
etteville - Vv'ilmington area to ir
rigation and industrial use.

her.’).”
