The operation would take three years, cost seventy live million dollars, and entjil Ihe liansport of about three hundred thousand tons in one piece, the greatest weight man has ever tried lo lift Mr llai land’s dissent is bas ed on his personal opinion of Ramose 11 who had the astound ing quadruple image of himself carved into the solid cliffs while be reigned over Egypt from 1292 to 1225 B C.

Swim Pool Drive Shy The Exchange Club's private swimming pool project bus fallen a little more than 140 short of the membership necessary to be bin constructkjii of a pool. Membership campaign co chairman Herb Holland reported that as of yesterday a lew less than 160 people had signed up as members. The project need ed 300 members by November 1 in order to go ahead. Mr. Holland attributed failure of the drive, which was begun some weeks ago. to the fact that prospective members hadn't been contacted personally. He said that at the Halloween Car nival Tuesday night, for instance, lie signed up three people just by asking them to sign up Within a week the executive board of the drive will hold a meeting and decide which of three possible courses of action to lake; 1. Abandon the project alto gether and return all money. 2.

DUNN The problem of students drop ping out of college is large, com plex, and growing. Complicating the matter is the fact that uni versity administrators are often unsure exactly why students drop out This makes elimina tion of the causes of drop-out attrition on student bodies a puzzling matter. However, the drop-out situa tion is not abnormal University Dean of Student Affairs Charles Henderson says not only that drop-outs are to be expected, but that the drop-out rate at the University here is Society Offered Property Decision Pending On Headquarters A last-minute ray of light ap peared Tuesday in the dim pro spect that the North Carolina Society 1o r Crippled Children and Adults would keep its Stale headquarters in Chapel Hill.

Serving the Chapel Hill Area Since 1923 CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1961 less than the national average. A complete check on students in the UNC class of 1957 from the time they were freshmen disclosed that the survival rate was about 42 per cent, with an other two per cent graduating in five years instead of four The national survival average: 38 per cent. More checks of fol lowing UNC classes show the situation may be improving. Forty-two per cent may seem to be a low rate, and perhaps rather superficial, considering the problem; but there are so many factors involved that a simple figure of 42 is actually rather welcome after examining ■ Hm|g9 PAUL REVERES—Three Republi can congressmen spoke at a ifaujintf of the UNC YRC yesterday afitoioon.

Ur George retired last June from the University, where he taught anatomy in the School of Medicine. He was formerly head ol the North Carolina Patriots, and has gone on record as believ ing the white race is fundament, ally superior to the Negro race. The Montgomery, Ala Adver tiser announced Thursday that Dr George had been retained during the past summer to devote a full-time study to anthropolo gical differences between the rac es. He was paid SI,OOO a month Attorney Ralph Smith of Mont gomery, who was also employed by Alabama to help with the study, said, "Scientific data sup ports the contention that the white race, intellectually, is su perior to the Negro, and that is the point we seek to make with this study.’’ The Advertiser said Mr. Snulh had been retained by Governor Patterson to represent him in ra cial litigation and that Mr. Smith, with Gov. Patterson’s approval, had retained Dr. George.

At the same time, arrangement* am being made for members as the Deportment’s staff to visit presently known non. public schools. After ail the privet* schools are them all. For instance: Last fall 1,658 freshmen enrolled at the Uni versity. Before the end of the semester 61 had dropped out. At the end of the semester 153 who had finished did not re register. Thus, a total attrition of 214 on the freshman class, lea\ing 1.444 But 1,540 fresh men began the succeeding spring semester, and only 23 of the 96. additions were new freshmen. The other 73 were returnees who had skipped a semester or more lor one reason or another "Some students may skip a semester and come back, said Dean Henderson. "Some may crats. From left, are Rep.

Prospects Bright For Bond Election The prospect seems bright for the November 7 Statewide bond issue Rep John Umstead, chairman of the Statewide citizens commit tee for passage of the $61.6 mil lion bond h&sue, predicted the is sue would lie approved by a thrcc-to-one margin. "The campaign is going well,” he said “I don't know of any organized opposition in the State. There is some opposition in a few areas, but it is unorganized! "I think about two out of every three people are for the bonds, but that won't do any good unless they vote.” He also said that Orange Coun. ty and Chapel Hill have a larg er stake in the Ixmd issue than any other area because of the bcef-up the bonds will give the University. Judge L J Phipps, chairman of the local committee working for passage of the bonds, estimat ed the County vole would lie be tween 3,500 and 4,000. In the (ouuty at large, he said, the vote would probably be med ium, and in Chapel Hill heavy. “This end of the County is in very good shape,” he said. County Board of Elections Sec retary Clyde Carter said about 200 names were added to the reg- visited the non-sectarian ones will be considered for approval under the State tuition grant "safety valve” provision of the Pearsall Plan. The action results from Carr boro watch repairman Reece Bir mingham's request for a State tuition grant to send his two daughters to the Twaddell School in Durham The two girls were assigned to the Carrboro School but wßhdrew and enrolled in Twadifell in order to attend school only With children of their own raca. Recommendation of the tuition grant was made by the Chapel Hilfgchuel Board in September beaguM it was not found "prac skip a semester and not come back here but eventually com plete college somewhere else. "The problem is to find out why students drop out. We can tell when students flunk out, but there are other reasons, and the best information we have to rely on is from the students them selves, which is treacherous in formation. “That's not funny. Students us ually won't say exactly why they're dropping out. They don't want to come in and say T do n't like it here.’ That's rude. They don't like to admit they haven't the ability to finish col lege. They don't like to admit istration books during the recent registration period. Mr Carter predicted a vote of 28 per cent of the County’s 28 precincts—about 4,350, the same as the County bond referendum last March. e. e. cummings To Read Tonight lhe English Department of the University will present e. c cum inings, one of the major poets of (his century, tonight at 8 in Me morial Hall, to read from his works.
