C. N yesterday. This report shows that the women registered. Veterans categories with 2,410 of the t< There are 873 new students, which inaicates a drop of 377 from the official tabulation of 1250 en rolled for the 1947 fall semester. Of the new students, 472 are fresh men and 401 transfers. Enrollment in the law school is approximately 300. Due to the addition of the twelfth grade to South Carolina high schools, the freshmen class is considerably smaller. This made it possible to accept more out-of state students, Needham said. t Crowded conditions at the uni versity, which were brought about by the great influx of veterans, has necessitated limiting the en rollment to residents of South Carolina since the cessation of hos tilities. Smith Regrets Abrupt Halting Of Street Dance An apology for the abrupt dis continuing of the Delta Tau street dance on the steps of McKissick library last~week, was pre:ented to the student body and the sorority by President Norman M. Smith Wednesday. The dance began at 8 p. m. Wed nesday and was scheduled to end at 12 p. i., but was halted by the night watchnan around 9:30 p. 1 m. after students living in the cam pus dormitories near the library ] had complained to the president I that the noise interrupted their study. By unanimous vote last Thurs- t day, Student Council requested an apology froim the administration to the members of the sorority. Jim Thomas, senior class president , and author of the motion asking this action, explained that the dance was registered in Anril and was publicized before the night, giving opportunity to halt it then. The president's statement fol lows: "The university made a mistake in authorizing a mid-week dance to be held on the campus. "It was something that had never been done before,. "During the dance numerous complaints wero naturally made, objecting to the music and noise which distracted the 'students in nearb)y dormitories from study. As a result, it wvas necessary to have the music and loud-speakers si lenced. "I wish the student body to know that the members of Delta Tau sorority complied fully with regu lations for icheduling their dance and that I regretted very much having to call the dance off."
