icnts. Dean Guy B. 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

ty of this 25 per cent coed pop

"Although this program may

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
