NEW YORK, May 5 There 5s a record-breaking foreign student population in U. S. colleges and universities, according to a re port issued today by the Institute of International Education. The current census conducted jointly by the Institute and the Committee on Friendly Relations Among Foreign Students, shows that well over 30,000 students from other lands are being trained , this year in the United States. Top countries, with the largest number of their young citizens studying here, are Canada, China, and Germany. The biggest jump in numbers over past years, how ever, is in the increase in stu dents coming from Asia, the Near East and Africa. There is only one European country (Germany) now among , the top 10 as com pared with four from Asia and two from the Near East. Nearly 3,000 of the Chinese students tabulated have been , in the U. S. twa or three vears. and are unable -to return to - China i today. Another sign of the timss j is that nearly one-third of: the j 20,000 students are women. - The institute estimates that these students represent a finan cial investment of $75,060,000, working on the basis that total cost of travel, tuition, room and board for the average student is $2,500. Almost half of them - are fcholarlhip students, receiving their training on funds provided by their governments, our gov ernment, private agencies or by the colleges and universities themselves. . 9 AT; Y-rJ 4 Bock To Bed, Slscpy Heo Special to The Daily Tar Heel PULLMAN, Wash., May A shrewd student called "the Washington State College radio station recently, identified him self as an Air Force officer, and cancelled 7 a. m. drills from some 500 AF ROTC students.

With heavy con centrations in New, York and California, foreign students can be found in every state in the union. For sheer numbers, the most popular American schools among foreign students are the University of California, Columbia University, and New York Uni versity each having over 1,000 foreign students in their student body. Engineering remains the chief field of study for visiting students. However, while our engineering schools are the main drawing cards for South Asians . and Near Easterners, most European stu dents are now coming for study in social sciences and the liberal rts. An interesting development this year is the fact, that religion is among the top 10 fields of study for the first time. . According to the institute, stu dents from abroad today report as never before a desire " to get to know the United States." How, important this "seeing America close-up" is, from the students' viewpoint, is shown by this com ment by an Austrian boy, quoted in the report: . . The questions of U.
