Phillips an nounced that the all-inclusi.-t .igure now stands at a healthy 4548. This is somewhat under the re cord enrollment for the first sum mer school session which is near 5000. The figure, however, L not expected to drop as rapidly is has been the custom during previous sessions. This, of cours- is pending decisions by the U. S. Department of Selective Service. It is believed that the large enrollment may be attributed to -everal factors. The first is an unusually large number of fresh- nen boys who are beginning their education early to escape the clutches of the draft. Another is that the G. I. Bill expires in July, thus many vete rans are rushing to obtain last minute advantages from the fam ous DHL This accounts ior ine large remaining number of vete rans ... - - - The enrollment figure are ex pected to remain high because of the fact that a large per cent of the students are women, vete rans, and men not of draft age. The well-known coed ratio is ouring at dizzy heights as it has been discovered that there re only three men to each wo nan. The Tar Heel has no avail .ble facts regarding the eligibil- ty of this 25 per cent coed pop ulation.

Law Professor Is Asked To Help In Mediating India-Pakistan Dispute William B. Aycock, Assistant Professor of Law, has been named by Frank P. Graham to accompany him to India in the UN mediation of the India-Pakistan dispute concerning he province of Kashmir. . , , t m ,-rs?dont of the Consolidated Uni- . .., JPf .. ;- f 0 v3f - . , vex htm in Him iiti Ji V 1 WILLIAM B. AYCOCK '. . . goes with Dr. Frank" Most Favor Pres. Grays New Position BY BILL GRIMES "As a student, what is vour pinion of Gordon Gray's ap mintmpnt ks Director of the new United States Department of Psy- hological Strategy," was the luestion that received answers vhich varied from "great to 'hell' and completely befuddled the maid in "C" dormitory. Student reaction, which is al- .vays unpredictable, held true to' orm as your Tar Heel representa ;ive was answered by "are you razy" and other things which :d not pertain to the subject. G.nei-J conccn.u.. oX opinion ., however, that the Universitj vill benefit by Gray's new ap -intment. One young lady saic .ha appointment will definitely .at haim UNC, but will better U reputation in the eyes of the nation." She explained her theory by aying, "In the past there have een rumors that UNC harbors i communistic trend. The favor ible publicity which will result .om Mr. Gray's office will help override any remaining ru lors that the first of American fate educational institutions is led." One reactionary fellow sorrow illy summed it u, with, "It's he price you have to pay for hav ng great men as president. Just ike Dr. Frank." There is faith in Gray's abUity to do the best thing for UNC. The reply was, "Mr. Gray would not have accepted the position had he not thought it would benefit the University." One of the few remaining loyal Democrats said that this was "an other decision which proves the far-sightedness of the Truman Administration." ver itv and former United States Senator, has been serving for the past three months as Ad ministrator of Defense Man power in the Department of Labor in Washington. Follow ing his appointment as media tor, speculation mounted con cerning whom he would choose as personal aide, but the ques tion remained unanswered until Wednesday morning when Chancellor Robert B. House of the University at Chapel Hill approved a leave of absence for Aycock. Aycock was graduated from State College in 1916 and took his Master's degree at Chapel Hill in 1937. He was president of the student body at State. During the war he rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Upon returning home, he enrolled in the University Law School where he led his class and was editor of the Law Review. He became an Assistant Pro fessor of Law immediately upon his graduation tn IMS and has served in that capacity since that time. The choice of Aycock for this important mission marks the second time that Graham has called upon personnel of the Law School. He selected Henry Brandis, now Dean of the Law School, to accompany him on the successful Indonesian Medi ation trip which was begun five years ago. Th Kashmir problem, accord- j m8 to seasoned observers of the international political scene, is quite near to being impossible of solution. Both skies to the question, the Indians and the Pakistani, have refused previous offers of arbitration. Both sides have expressed little pleasure concerning the UN mission which will leave New York within a few days. Jawaharlal Nehru, Indian Prime Minister, it..ted lait week that Mr. Gra hu.u and hi party wouid be ueated with "courtesy," how ever. Graham is now in Now York where he is taking part in ex tensive briefing sessions at the Lake Success UN headquarters. Aycock left for New York yes terday where he joined Graham. It is understood that Graham and Aycock will fly from New York to India, and that nego tiations will begin in New Delhi. Commenators who hold out little hope for an amicable settlement as a result of the mediation, have stated that Mr. Graham is fortunate in rt least one respect; the Kashmir countryside, famed in song and story, is particularly beautiful at this season of the year. However, those North Caro linians who know Frank Gra ham are not at all sure that he will be limited to an inspection of the Kashmireen topography. It is now being confidently pre dicted in UN circles, contrary to the attitude of tea days ago, that the Mission will be at least partially successful. Graham ia expected to attempt compro mise regarding a plebiscite (See AYCOCK. pose 2)
