r " . UPI Team Reports on (Editor'! notes A h i a h Itime some are fioine as far line it necessary to go to the I cumber of this month's crop of high school graduates faces a common problem how to go to college. United Press International bureaus throughout the nation were asked what problems high school graduates face in ob taining entrance to a uni versity or college. This is their report.)' By DAVID SMOTHERS United Press International There's still plenty of room In the nation's colleges for the high school senior who wants a higher education. Even the teen-ager who has a sprinkling of C's or even D's on his report card can find a college berth. But the boy or girl who let the marks slip a little in fa vor of football or Saturday night dances could find the going rough, particularly in the east. So could the youth whose family simply doesn't have the money to finance a college ed ucation without the assistance of a scholarship. Consensus of Reporters This was the consensus of reporters who talked to high school counsellors and college and University registration of fices in key cities and states just before high school grad uation time this month. The reporters came up with these tips for college-minded teen-agers: If you want to go to a "prestige college," your marks had better be high and you should act quickly. The fresh man quotas in such schools fill up quickly. It is easiest to start out on a college education in the west, a little more difficult In the middle west, and hard est in the east. There are agencies which can help place a high school graduate in a good college, even though the school may be located some distance from home. There are a good number of schools which base their ac ceptance of a new student on their belief in what he is capable of, not merely on what his high school record says. Don't be ashamed of go ing to a second choice college. .You might wind up better off. , Most high school and col lege counsellors said the num ber of students who want a university education is climb ing, sometimes radically. Yet there were few instances where the counsellors saw roadblocks ahead. Wesley Robson, director of admissions at UCLA, said, "In spite of a certain sense of panic, there doesn't seem to be any basis for it yet. If a students is reasonable about his choice, he is pretty sure of being accepted some where." But in some parts of t h e country, that "somewhere" can be hard to find. New York City Problem In New York City, Mrs. Dorothy Culver of the advis ory service on public schools, said "Frankly, any student who wants to go to school in a 200-mile radius of New York is in trouble. "The municipal and state colleges are jammed and the private schools are mostly quite expensive. If you go beyond 200 miles of New York you stand a better chance." Mrs. Culver said the stu dents who come In to see her are usually ready to face the facts. ; "More and more easterners are looking west to find edu cational institutions," she said. Others Questioned Agree Other eastern educational advisers who were question ed agreed. Mrs. Bertha Shapiro, col lege adviser for girls at New York's Washington Irving High school, said "More girls are applying for college this year, apparently swept up by the fever that everyone must go to college. For the first State Department To Hold Seminar Series Washington - (LTD - The state department today starts the first of a series of seminars to teach diplomats and mill-1 tary officers how to help new nations deal with internal subversion and external; threats. i Secretary of State Dean i Rusk will address the open ing session of the five-week i course, given by the depart- j ment's foreign service insti tute. About 50 to 60 civilian j and military officials destined 1 to serve in developing nations will attend the first seminar. The goal is to train about S00 oificials during the first year. Lumber Hearings To i Resume This Week Washington - UTO - Hear- j lngs before the Senate Com-! merce committee on problems of the Pacific Northwest lum ber industry are scheduled to resume here Thursday and Friday. The committee held a hear ing in Portland, Ore., last. time some are going as far away as California and Ha waii to find a college that will accept them." The guidance director of Lebanon High school in sub urban Pittsburgh said "This year highly qualified boys are finding it difficult to go into eastern colleges.

OREGON York area and New England are coming to an end." For the student who is hav- !ng trouble finding the right school, or who is running into difficulty getting into college at all, an institution in Evan ston. 111., stands ready to help. The institution is called the College Admissions Center and it is sponsored by the Association of College Admis sion Counsellors. A high school student looking for a college gives the center a rec ord of his grades and his score on college board exam inations. He also sends $10. The center runs the informa tion through data processing equipment and tries to match the student with a college. College Admissions Center Director Joe Jefferson expects that the number of students seeking the organization's help this spring will double last year's total of 5,100. Reasons for Seeking Help There are many reasons why teen-agers fresh out of high school turn to the center for help. "Sometimes it's a matter of applying to a prestige college, missing out, and finding they can get into another good college by using this clearing house," Jefferson said. "In some cases, it's pro- Young & Tender Fresh Sliced Swift's ' " Premium, lean. Real Smoke Flavor Armour's Stir Pkg. of 5 3-oz. Steaks Case) Can 4lb. 3 Lb. Saving!

Jefferson estimated that most of the students who ap ply to the center wind up in small liberal arts colleges lo cated all over the country. About 60 per cent of the teen agers who write in are placed in colleges, he said. Follow Up Failures "We intend to follow up all the failures to find out why they failed," he said. "Sometimes a college just won't accept them. Sometimes the student Just gives up for one reason or another mar riage or a job." Another Chicago area col lege counsellor, Mrs. Isabel Lassen of Chicago's South Shore High school, said "It's amazing how mediocre stu dents mature when they get to college. "We advise students In this group to prepare with special summer school courses in how to study or in reading more efficiently." In contrast, some high school advisers said rising college standards were mak ing it tougher for their grad uates to gain admission.

Assistant Schools Superintendent Doug las McRae said some parents feel such rules hobble t h e brighter students at a time when colleges are insisting on higher grades. "Students have to work much harder by way of build ing up scholastic averages be cause of tougher entrance re quirements," he said. In Massachusetts, guidance counsellor Lawrence Elliott of Waltham High school said of the youngsters who have not been able to find colleges, "Failure to fulfill the two year language requirement of most New England colleges has hurt these students." see Counsellors in the Chicago area said there were a good number of colleges which would accept students with C averages plus even a few D's if their pre-entrance examinations indicated they could do better. These, in the words of one , counsellor, are "the risks who have a real desire to go to college." The advisers also held out encouragement for the high school student who set his heart on Harvard or MIT and was turned down.
