The proposal provides that the campus be divided geographically into 400 small discussion groups, each composed of about 10 members, who may talk over various issues as they come up and convey their opinions to student body leaders.

They said that if the plan proved impractical, no harm would be done, whereas the possible good would make Continued on page A, column S) 43 States Are Represented In Record Enrollment Here North Carolina Leads With 2,630 e- A total of 43 states, the D is trie of Columbia, and 14 foreign countries fjampus leaders inciuoing am ocn-. nrnll , t t, TInivprsitv for the rane, speaker of the legislature, and faU j c Griffin, head of the iave aiorrison, present ox Central records office, revealed in ent body, felt that the move made to figures released yesterday. uwfwina of f nrto vos a nneo rmo I Ganderson, who is secretary-treas- ;orth Carolina leads the list with crer of the Graduate club announced 26 sen'' oU7d by. ew , . , .. .T York with 340.
