ment announced today.

Assembly by Foreign Minister
Golda Meir.
The effect is to return Israeli

Statistics Say 50 Per Cent
Of Students Fail to Finish_
Most students have heard an instructor say at one time
or another—" Look at the fellow on your left, and the one on
your right, because only one of you will graduate."
Perhaps that instructor isn't
talking through his hat, because,
according to statistics, only three
students out of four return after
their freshman year and less than
half of the freshman class actually
graduate.
Analysis Last Fall
The statistics were the result of!
an analysis made last fall of they
status of all bachelor's degree
freshman on and off campus.
Of 3688 students admitted int
the fall of 1954, 76.2 per cent re
turned after one year and 54.8.
per cent returned after two years.'
In the fall of 1955, 3576 students i
were admitted and 73.1 per cent
of these returned after one year.
The student mortality rate has
been almost precisely consistent
and escapes the possibility of
the punitive sanctions proposed
by Arab neighbors in the UN.
Mrs. Meir warned ,that Israel
will fight back if violence
flares up against Israel ship
ping or Israeli territory=and
appealed to the Arabs to work
with Israel for. development of
the Middle. East. She enumer
ated steps that Israel under
stood would take place with
the withdrawal, but did not
class these as conditions.
Turning Point Hailed
U.S. Chief Delegate Henry
Cabot Lodge hailed the Israeli
action as a turning point in
affairs of the Middle East. He
said the United States under
stands_ it to mean immediate
withdrawal without conditions.
Secretary Gen. Dag Hammar
skjoid issued orders for Maj.

during the past five years. Of the
class of 1954, 70 per cent returned
after one year; 51.6 per cent re
turned after two years; 46.5 per
cent returned after three years;
7.2 returned after four years; and
1.6 returned after five years.
3. 4. 5 Year Graduations
When this class graduated, 1.4
per cent of the students graduated
after three years; 40.8 per cent
graduated after four years; and
47.2 per cent graduated after five
years.
The men-women ratio in the;
past five years has jiggled about
and finally hit an all 5-year high
,in 1955. In 1951 it was 3 to 1; 1952,
131/2 to 1; 1953, 3 to 1; 1954. 3 to 1;

Fawzi Comments
In the only Arab comment
of today's session, Egyptian
Foreign Minister Mahmond
Fawzi said he assumed the As
sembly is unanimous in accept
ing full and honest implemen
tation of its resolutions calling
for immediate and uncondi
tional withdrawal of Israel. Re
observed that nothing said in
the Assembly or elsewhere
could affect the lawfulness of
Egypt's rights and those of the
Arab peoples of the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli action had been
virtually an open secret for two
days after many conferences
here, in Washington and in
Jerusalem.
