Suffers Drop
AcrossNation
Special to The Daily Tar Heel
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 Fall
journalism enrollments at U. S
schools and departments dropped
a sharp 20 per cent below those
of last year, it was announced
today.
The decrease contrasts signifi
cantly with a much smaller 6.6
per cent decline in attendance at
the nation's colleges and univers
ities as a whole.
However, this is not quite a
true picture, perhaps, because a
the 39 accredited schools and de
partments of journalism where
total enrollments fell 20.5 per
cent, a 10 to 15 per cent decrease
in total institutional enrollment
was reported.
The disproportionate decrease
is Khown in a comparison of sur
vey findings by the United States
Office of Education and by the
University of Oregon school of
Journalism.
Journalism officials and edu
cators fear that the vast mobiliza
tion of-manpower soon to begir
once again will return- the
-"hools to the training of women
'"and physical rejects.
Officials of the University
School of Journalism said yester
day that enrollment here ha?
dropped about 10 or 15 from last
year's 130 students.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Jan. 9
;P) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower

strong troops and a promise that,
with them, western civilization
can be preserved without fighting.
Brussels was th General's sec
ond major stop on a tour that be

About 4,000 French Commu

Eisenhower in Paris after he had

New Officers
The Dialectic Senate , held its
first meeting of the winter quar

newly elected officers.
The new officers were Toby
Selby, president; Dave Woodruff,

Clampitt, chaplain.
Guest speaker of the evening.
Dr. Preston H. Epps of the

"The Three Qualities Which Make
a Goon Orator." He pointed out
that, in order to be a good orator,
one must be able to think rightly,
have command of the language
medium and, most essentially, be
a good man.

ing for demonstrations.
In Brussels, as in Paris, Gen.
Eisenhower was welcomed by
government officials and by
American military and diplomatic
personnel.
His flight from Paris was of
itself a demonstration of the
special problem that Europe
presents. In less lime than it
takes to fly from New York to
Washington, he flew across the
bitterest battlefields of two
world wars.
The press has warmly wel
comed him, and welcomed as
well President Truman's state
ment that defense of Europe was
a necessary part of the defense of
America. But it was certain that
he would find in this country
what he" found in France. That
is the disposition to look twice
at the cards the General has to
play for the United States.
Navy Punch
Increased By
$2 E
Super Carrier,
172 Nevr Ships,
Added To Power
WASHINGTON, Jan. , 9 (IP)
A $2,000,000,000. program to add
power to Navy punches with a
60,000 ; ton '"super" aircraft car
rier and 172 other new ships went
through - the House Armed Ser
vices Committee today in a bare
two hours. ' - .
The swift approval of the au
thorization measure; only one day
after it wa$ offered by Committee
Chairman .Vinson . (D-Ga.), was
striking evidence of : the temper
of Congress, under the lash of re
verses in Korea and worldwide
Soviet threats.
It was taken as . a sure sign of
a clear road ahead tor reamra
ment proposals, so long as they
add to this country's Own defense
sinews. How many rocks may be
in the path of measures to rearm
the rest . of the Nort-Communist
world was not -so certain.
: In addition to the new construc
tion, the bill approved' today pro
vides for modification and con
version of 291 existing vessels.
The Committee made sharp in
creases, in both new building and
modernization, from the figures
first proposed by Vinson.
It acted after hearing testimony
from Admiral Forrest : P. Sher
man, Chief of Naval Operations,
in closed session. ' ' '
There was talk that the huge
new carrier might bear the name
of the late James V. Forrestal,
first Secretary of - Defense - under
unification of the services and
prior to that Secretary of the
Navy.
Carriers by custom are named
after national leaders or naval
battles.
It was while Forrestal was
Navy Secretary that, plans were
first laid for adding a "super'
carrier to the fleet. The keel
actually was laid for that pro
posed giant, the 65,000-tOn U.S.S.
United States, but building was
stopped in : 1949 , by Louis John
son, then Secretary of Defense.
Selective
Deferment
Proposed
WASIUNGTON, Jan. dJF)
The National Security Resources
Board has recommended to Presi
dent Truman that certain young
scientists, engineers and others
with specialized skills be allowed
draft deferment to continue their
education.
The NSRB proposal was drawn
up by a 12-man Advisory Com
mittee of prominent men in edu
cation, industry and science.
A statement said the group
unanimously agreed that there
should be "a continuing flow of
students through colleges and uni
versities to take care of the na
tion's technical needs for war
and peace."
NSRB did not make public
the recommendations.

Only patrol action was reported in the west on the front

Associated Press Correspondent
John Randolph, with the U. N.
columns falling back from. Seoul
and now more than 60 miles
south of the 38th parallel, said
the Red buildup "appeared to be
planned for the strongest possible
attack when the drive begins."
Red artillery was moving south.
Tuesday an F-80 Shooting Star
jet swept down through the
clouds and mist and blasted
Chinese field pieces south of
Seoul.
This was the first report that
Chinese artillery had been
dragged south of the ice-jammed
Han river, which flows past
Seoul. ;
Fightings in the center of the

the Reds Monday. Two U. N.
battalions turned two miles south
of Wonju and attacked a North
Korean force. The fight was still
in progress at last' reports. ,
Six miles southwest of Wonju

the enemy. Associated Press Cor
respondent Don Huth at Eighth
Army Headquarters said the U. N.

Gordon Gray, President of
the University of North Carolina,
today offered a new national pol

requirements and educational
needs of the future.
Gray, former Secretary of the
Army, suggested in an address
before the 37th annual meeting
of the Association of American
Colleges that 18-year-olds be sep

those not qualified for higher ed

based on intellectual capacity
and high school or preparatory
school records. Final acceptance
for college training would depend

Duke Sets Up
3-Year Plan
For Freshmen
Would Eliminate
I School Year;
Is Due To War
Special to The Daily Tar Heel
DURHAM, Jan. 9 Duke Uni
versity President Ilollis Edens an
nounced today that the institution
will accept freshman students in
June to begin a "national emer
gency" college program that will
permit them to'graduate in three
years.
Under the accelerated war pro
gram, a high school graduate en
tering Duke in June, 1951, can
graduate in June, 1954.
"While the details of such a
program will have to await ac
tion from Washington," Edens
said, "the University deems it
essential to provide opportunity
for high school graduates to begin
their college training at the ear
liest possible date."
The Duke president continued,
This program is in line with the
advice of national leaders and
high school counselors who are
urging young people to begin
their college work as soon as pos
sible, because of the imminence
of military service."
Moreover, Edens pointed out,
students now in college arc be
ing urged to complete their work
as quickly as they can.
"The University is thus mak
ing provision," he said, "for ac
commodating as many students as
wish to accelerate their college
career."
Duke officials said recent de
velopments in Korea have had
little effect thus far on enroll
ment, but a number of students
arc expected to leave for the
armed forces at the end of the
first semester which comes 3oon.
Some 37 students out of an
enrollment of 5,000 have entered
the service since September.
