The collapse of last week's summit conference and the statements of Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev reem phasized the problem of ac cess to West Berlin, locked 100 miles inside communist East Germany, It was the question of West Berlin that commanded the attention of Dulles in the months prior to his death on May 24 of last year. By coin cidence Dulles was buried on the day Khrushchev was to turn over the West Berlin access routes to East German authorities. Deadline Passed viet Premier served notice on the West that all Soviet occupation functions would be assumed by the East Ber lin government in six months. The May 27 deadline came and passed but the commu nist threat was not carried out. The Khrushchev ultimatum et off a flurry of high-level talks and visits that ended with last week's summit fail ure in Paris. Following one of these whirlwind tours to Britain, France and Germany in early February 1959, Dulles enter ed Walter Reed Army Medi cal Center for an operation. He never returned to his job full-time. Last Friday Khrushchev again raised the question of West Berlin saying that the solution to the problem lay in making Berlin a free city. U.S. officials have said re peatedly that such a solution was unacceptable because it would put the city at the mercy of the encircling com munists. On Nov. 26, 1958, the day before the six-month ultima tum was issued, Dulles told a news conference that the So viet Union has an "explicit obligation" to the United States and other allied pow ers to assure normal access to Berlin. Dulles said the ' United States would not accept the view that the Soviet Union could disentangle itself from the obligations agreed to at the Council of Foreign Min isters meeting held in Paris in June 1949. The events during th past year since his death also brings out in sharp focus one of the thief elements of Dul le's strategy-personal diplo macy. Dulles was the world's foremost exponent of this type of international contact. Taking full advantage of the air age, he was by far the most widely travelled sec retary of state in the nation's history. Travelling by plane exclusively, Dulles flew a to tal of 559.988 miles on offi cial missions to 46 countries. President Eisenhower took up the chores of personal di plomacy after Dulles died. The Eisenhower personality. like that of Dulles, is power ful. The President's recent visits to Europe. .Africa, Asia and South America were em inently successful. This brand of diplomacy re ceived a sharp setback last week when Khrushchev at tacked Eisenhower personally. Despite this reverse, the Dulles-Eisenhower missions-" are bound to leave a deep imprint on the diplomatic history of the 20th century.

He is blind. He operates . the station alone. By listening to the gas oline pump he can measure within a penny a two or three dollar sale. "Only time I have trouble is when they change the price of gas, he said. A highly developed sense of touch enables him to check a car's oil level accurately. He checks tire pressure wiih an old hand gauge, and can put in the proper amount of air as accurately as he meas ures gasoline. Lubrications are the only service that have Harry stumped. Fraudulent Degrees Aust Come To End, UO Student Writes Kdltor's not: Thf fnllnwiur ir. tide was written hv a Jitup iradu- ate or the school of Journalism at me I'ntverslty or oreeon as an "editorial summary" of the con clusions developed In the senior tnesls required of eaph graduate. The opinions are those of the writer. BY CHUCK HALE (Eugene Oregon) Three years ago the presi dent of the American Council on Education, Arthur S. Ad ams, was traveling in Africa. One of his native porters, knowing of his association with American education, proudly announced that soon he would own an American college degree. Adams thought it only fair to warn him that the road towards the degree would be rough. He would have to adapt to his new American environment while spending a great deal of time and money in pursuit of the degree. The porter said that this was not the case at all, that he had almost saved the $50 that would be all he would need to buy an Ameri can degree, signed, sealed and delivered. This incident Is but one in many that have revealed the existence in the United States of fraudulent colleges and universities known as "di ploma mills," which sell acad emic degrces-Ph.D.s, B.A.s, M.A.s-either outright or after th completion of a ridicu lously inadequate course of study. The mills prey mainly on foreign students, most of whom are unfamiliar with our educational system and unaware that anything bear ing the American label could be other than bona fide. Hence for over 120 years the integrity of U.S. education abroad has often been in ques tion. More Than 200 Operating A report on the racket re cently published by the Amer ican Council on Education es timates that more than 200 mills are currently operating in 37 stales. Some 750,000 "students" are "earning" their degrees while paying over $75,000 for the privilege. Sadly enough, -almost all of these "institutions" oper ate within the law. Each has a legal charter issued to it by either the legislature or the education department of the state in which it is lo cated. The lack of statutory re quirements for the chartering of degree-granting institu tions, and the inadequacy of provisions for maintaining the standards of educational facil ities in most states are chief ly responsible for this dis grace. Attempts to outlaw the mills have been met with Lucky Lager has a straight -forward quality, a "character" you just don't get in other beers strong objections from those who profit by the absence of any governmental control over education. Legitimate correspondence schools also have been fearful of any reg ulations lest they be lumped together with the mills. There have been sporadic attempts made through the years to eliminate the mills. The Post Office Department and the Federal Trade Com mission have been involved in these attempts, but both are limited in what they can legal ly do. For instance, in order to prosecute on the charge of using the mails to defraud. the post office must first re ceive a complaint from a de frauded student. In most cases, students are either satisfied with their diploma mill de grees or reluctant to admit their gullibility. If a com- pjciiiiL is reueivca, ine ue- panmem must men prove in tent to defraud. This is often difficult when the mills ad vertise that they will grant degrees and then grant them advertised. Furthermore. I the mills have over the years ! become increasingly more adept at remaining within the letter of the law if not the spirit. Must Take Initiative It appears that if this flag rant fraud is to be ended the states must take the initiative. Laws with teeth In them must be passed to tighten up the requirements for institutions granting degrees and for the maintenance of satisfactory- educational facilities. Al though the bulk of legisla tion must come from the states, supplementary federal legislation will be needed to plug legal loopholes stem- ming from diploma mill op erations which cross state boundaries, constituting inter state commerce. The machinery necessary to initiate corrective legislation exists. The Council of State Governments has drafted sug gested legislation to aid the states. On the federal level, the Department of Health, Educa tion and Welfare has recent ly announced a campaign to wipe out diploma mill ac tivities. The campaign will include compilation of a list of all known degree mills and their methods of operation. The Department also will seek to clarify what present and potential powers arc available to cope with the problem. With , cooperation between stale and federal agencies, there is a good chance that American education can rid itself of a parasite.
