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-

Great Injustice' Done
To University Officials

of North Carolina-Notre Dame football game to people in
this area Saturday.
"A telecast of the game would

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

Commenting on earlier reports
that UNC officials would not ask
for the telecast, Weaver said,
"Those reports are a great injus

He added that it was his respon
sibility to interpret the rulings of

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.

Dame game will be shown in
Carroll Hall Tuesday night at
7:30. The free movies will be
sponsored by the Current Af

'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.

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

Carrboro Not In its 'Death Throes

Carrboro, Chapel Hill's longtime

said today.
"As far as I can tell," Mayor
R. B. Todd said, "Carrboro's busi

CARRBORO'S BUSINESS SECTION
"Carrboro is by no means dy

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.

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.
