He said the class rank and Scholastic Aptitude Test scores are converted by a complicat ed . formula into a projected grade average, "which is one of the things we come to in helping make decisions."

"We take a risk on those with outstand ing records, because there is always the chance that they just won't do the work. "We can admit a student with a fine record, but there is just no way to tell what his grades will be in-two years. Desire . is the most important requirement for. success." The choosing of out-of-state students- is highly selective since only 16 per cent of the class;, under residence regula tions imposed by the Board of Trustees,' may be from outside North Carolina. Last year 11.5 per cent if the freshmen ; were non-residents. This year the Middle Atlan tic states replaced the South (excluding North Carolina) as the region providing the most students. In 1963 the South led 252 students to 223, now the Middle Atlantic leads 172 to 166. Virginia, with 54 fresh men this year and 75 last year, has the most representatives. New York is a close second. North Carolina provided 1,445 new students last year, 1,493 this year. This year 87 students sub mitted examinations for ad vanced placement and credit, and 49 of them received it.

They 9re Full Too! WASHINGTON UP! State uni versities are growing like topsy, but they still are turning away thousands of young people as the college crush hits the campus with full impact. The University of Illinois, with an enrollment of 34,500, turned away 5,000 qualified applicants this fall. The University of Massa chusetts had room for only 2,600 of the 10,000 who applied for the freshman class. The University of Arizona enrolled only 2,500 of the 14,000 who applied from out-of-state. : "We've been expecting this bulge in enrollment, but none of us has been able to expand rapid ly enough," President David D. Henry of the University of Illinois, told a news conference Tuesday. "Even if someone walked up to day and gave the University of Illinois all the money it needed for expansion, we couldn't do very much about it until 1968. It takes that long to build the facilities and find-the faculty members we need." ' In just 20 years, enrollment at the University "of Illinois has doubled. It has doubled at the University of Massachusetts in about five years. The University of Arizona had 2.800 students on campus before World War II. now it has 18,800.. President John W. Lederle of the University of Massachusetts said his institution, would grow from its current enrollment of 10,500 to 20,000 "in the not too distant future." Lederle said the public in Mas sachusetts is just now becoming aware of the need to spend more money for public higher educa tion. Massachusetts, ' he said, ranks ninth in the nation in per capita income but 50th in sup port of public higher education. . i rr in nirtifc mm efimonv n IRinaldi M - A full panel of jurors was select ed yesterday for the Frank Rinal di murder trial.

Good-Bye To Animals And The By JOHN GREENBACKER DTH Staff Writer "When I came here five years ago, the residents of Cobb called themselves 'animals, and the students called Cobb 'the Zoo." Dean Long settled back in his chair, put his hands behind his head, and let an expression of satisfaction spread over his face. :Long met in his office last week with Student Body Presi dent Bob Spearman to discuss progress made by the "Residence College System." He wasn't describing a pleasant memory, especially for a Dean of Men, but then he doesn't have the problems of five years ago. Long occupies a lot of his time with the growing pains of the system, a massive program designed to give occupants of " men's residence halls a new identity through group identifica tion. An ad hoc committee of faculty members and students has also been formed to administer the system's development. "People used to ask whether this campus would continue to grow" larger in a campus sense or grow larger in the sense of clusters" of living units, like the quads," he said. "We saw a need to make the growing campus more personalized." . The idea of dividing the campus into "residence areas" is the basic objective of the Residence College System. "The Ad ministration and Student Government agreed that the prob lems of this campus could be better met on a local level," Spear man said. Spearman feels" the program has made a fine start through the Men's -Residence Council. "The Student Legislature has been giving money to the MRC for residence areas such as the Early Election Returns Indicate Close Contest Due to Daily Tar Heel deadlines last night, a breakdown on the National Student Association referendum vote is not available this morning.

Composed of 13 Carolina fraternities, the Germans Club will sponsor the three-day weekend with a folksinging concert on Friday night. A bi annual affair at UNC, Germans is one of the biggest weekends of the year. Ian Tyson and Sylvia Fricker from Toronto, Cana, will be first on the show. They are young folk singers who find themselves among the pioneers in a new kind of folk music. Sylvia, a folklore scholar, says that the success of their type of music is a throwback from the days when minstrels car ried news among medieval courts and villages. Ian and Sylvia met in 1961, when they were hired, sepa rately, to perform in a Toronto folk club. After doing alternate shows for a few evenings, they tried performing together, and have . worked as a unit since then. Following them, the Brothers Four, of "Greenfields" fame, will sing.

Approved applicants will be announced at an organization al meeting Ihursday night Upper and Lower Quads or the Old Campus halls," Spearman said. "This money is used to finance area activities, especially parties. "In order to improve relations and adjustment between freshman men, we took all of them from several residence halls and placed them in the same Modern Civilization section," he said. "We have also appointed chaplains to serve as religious ad visors. Each minister on the team will visit a living unit in his residence area on a regular basis and give non-sectarian re ligious advice." "The preacher is not there to set up a tent meeting and spread sawdust," Long cautioned. "He will meet the student on an individual basis, and may advise intellectual discussion periods." The Administration plans to continue its plans for the con struction of area social rooms. "This fits into the development of area consciousness," Long said. "We are trying to get our new 10-story men's residence hall Morrison set up on a 10 unit basis," Long said. "Each floor will have its own social room and organization." "There is a proposal that each residence area have its own student governor to work with the hall presidents under him," Spearman added. Long has been surprised with the response for. the program. "We've found elements coming up through the grass roots which are precisely what we are looking for," he said. "At one time I thought we would have a hard time selling this idea. "I have even had petitions from men residences to set the pilot residence areas up," he added. Spearman cited the enthusiasm in the men's residence halls which has been aroused over the past year.
