India Slipping Into No, Says Grad By ED GOODMAN Many analysts of international af fairs say that India is among sever al Asian nations slowly slipping from Western influence and into the grasp of Russia. These claims are refuted by an Indian graduate student at Carolina, K. Narasiah, of Mysore. Narasiah, an instructor at the University of Mysore, who is study ing toward a Ph.D. in American history, says that the Indian people still 'favor this country and distrust Russia. AMERICA DEPENDABLE "There is no other country, at present,'' he says, "to which India looks more for ideals and material help. They know America is the country they can depend on most." Narasiah claims the Russians have made little headway with their pro paganda program and offers of econ omic aid because "the Indian people recognize them for what they are." "There is an amount of fear as- : I ...i,u 11 in..n.l. he says, "while joy is associated Free Juke Box Music Tonight At 8 In GM The Inter-Dormitory Council and Graham Memorial Activites Board will sponsor free Juke box music in the Rendezvous Room tonight from 8 to 12 midnight. The dance will be for couples only. Simular" Jubilee" dances will be held every other Friday night with free Juke box music. On alternate Fridays, a combo will provide music for "Jamboree" dances, also free to couples. Friday night's dance will be the second in a series of Friday nigh dances which will continue through out the school year. The first was held Nov. 7. Weaver Of UNC Great Injustice' Done To University Officials Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner James Weaver yesterday shut out any possibility of televising the University of North Carolina-Notre Dame football game to people in this area Saturday. "A telecast of the game would tic Coast Conference Television t i t with the United States." AID PROGRAM HELP What impresses Indians most ab out the United states, he says, is its 'economy and efficiency." Since r.dia is an underveloped nation with a low standard of living, economic considerations are of prime impor tance to everyone. Thus Narasiah claimes, American economic and cultural aid programs have greately swayed Indian opem ion in this country's direction. Among the other factors favorably influencing their attitudes toward America is the early aquaintance of Indian children with their culture and ideals, he says. Such courses as American history are taught grammar school children there. t But, most Indian pupils do not study primarily to get a general ed ucation as they do in America. The governing reason for study in India is the economic advancement, Narasiah says. "Here, it is the ac quisition of knowlege." 'Piecemeal' Approach Said One of the major problems facing American schools, whose future A reassessment of the balance is inevitably connected with American defense, is a piecemeal ap- proach to education. Dean Francis Keppel, Harvard University education dean, stressed this point Thursday while addressing the students and faculty of the UNC School of Education. Keppel, here during the school's observance of American Educa tion Week, emphasized the importance of balance in building an edu cational program to meet America The Sputnik scare made it clear, he said, "to the people and to the legislators alike that there defense and education."

He added that it was his respon sibility to interpret the rulings of the ACC and not the officials in Chapel Hill. Weaver gave two reasons for not televising , the game in this area Other than being a violation of the agreement, the commissioner said the telecast would be against the Television Committee's policy of only sponsoring games between conference members. Movies . of the Carolina-Notre Dame game will be shown in Carroll Hall Tuesday night at 7:30. The free movies will be sponsored by the Current Af fairs Committee of GMAB. 'The ACC has sold the rights to a sponsor, and if any other game were televised, it would not be fair to the sponsor," said Weaver "I would never sanction such game under those conditions," he added. University Athletic Director See Telecast, Page 3 Red Hands? Student Narasiah Thus, a larger portion of Indian college .students study technical fields, such as the sciences, med icine and. engineering. India is at tempting rapid social and industrial expansion, he explains; hence, it is easier to get jobs In these fields. But this growth and improvment is being impeaded, he says, by what the Indian people believe to be an inferior educational system. At pre sent, their schools are patterned after an English model, which was instituted in the latter part of the 19th Century. Basically, .the Indian system is similar to the American. Students must progress from elementary to high school. The senior year of high school is replaced by what Narasiah terms "pre-university." Unlike the American system, each Indian stu dent must pass a series of examin ations to climb from one rung of the scholastic ladder to the next. The chief rearson for this system's inadequacy, he says, is its slow ness. "You cover in one semester s needs. was a connection between American .

"As far as I can tell," Mayor R. B. Todd said, "Carrboro's busi ness is good and things are pretty bright." Todd, an official at a firm which has its offices in Chapell'And? most 4o the others have Hill, was commenting on an articl? carried by The Daily Tar Heel re cently which pictured the town as "ringing its death knell." It also predicted "unconditional capi tulation to urbanized Chapel Hill." "I read that story," Todd said. what we cover in a year," he main tains. However, he adds, Indian officals are now taking steps to correct this deficency. i I (V ft K.

"About 40 per cent of the peo ple who were working at the mill were from out of town," he said. been -saccessfui - in ' getting- other employment." At its peak, the mill employed about 400 persons. Now, about 50 remain, working in a cloth room. A tax counsel tor the firm recent ly said that he doubted if the plant would ever be used again for tex tile manufacturing. - According to Todd, Burlington is now offering to sell the 35-acre, two-unit plant for $750,000 or lease it. And he is confident that "someone" will move into the fa cility soon, and "lift us up." Todd said ho had seen some bank figures showing Carrboro business "about as high as it's ever been." And he said he believ ed the volume of busines is a lit tle better than ever before. He said a good indication of Carboro's "bright" picture is the fact that there have been no busi ness closings. Also, he said, col lections by the Town of Carrboro have been good and show no indi cation of declining. Wrong Author The author of the Letter to the Editor in Thursday's paper is not the Jeff White listed in the student directory. White told The Daily Tar Heel yesterday he had received some comment about the letter, and since he was the only White listed, he wanted to clear the matter up. White, a freshman from Edison, said he was planning to enter the business school, and that the letter did not reflect any opinion of his.

S. and The mayor scoffed at the men tion of consolidation between ' Chapel Hill and Carrboro, a fa miliar subject around here which usualy gets negative comment from residents of either town. "Sure, I can see some advan tages to consolidation," he said, "but there is a 'place' for both towns. On one hand you haye.the University town: and on the other a business community. Residents of both places have their own re sponsibilities." MAYOR TODD New Borrowing Methods Made For Loan Fund Changes in methods of borrowing money from the student loan fund here will become effective at the be ginning of the spring semester. Under the new arrangement an nounced Wednesday, a needy scholar ever 21 years old may borrow more money without the necessity of getting people to endorse his note, and without collateral. Stu dents under 21 must have endorsers. Interest rates are set at 3 per cent, and no interest rates are to accumulate while a student is en rolled in the University on a full- time basis. Officals said the major ity of students are unaffected by the interest change, except for the ad ventages of not paying interest while in school. The change does not apply to leans now in effect, but only to new leans after next Feb. 1. Under the new plan, entering freshmen may borrow provided they show evidence of a good to superior academic ability. Heretofore, most of the loans were made to students already enrolled in college who .a maintained gooa scnoiastic aver ages. Loans are not to exceed the amount needed to pay college ex penses or in any case not more than $1,000 in one calendar year of a total of $5,000. Loans must be paid back in 10 years.

"The meters could help Carrboro business," Todd said. "We havo three free parking lots right in the center of town and our mer chants, can sell, almost. , anything you want to buy." "I see no reason to lose faith in Carrboro," the mayor said. 58 Students Up For Election; Vote Tuesday Approximately 58 students will be elected to various offices in the fall elections Tuesday.
