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

Washington - (LTD - The
state department today starts
the first of a series of seminars

tary officers how to help new

ing session of the five-week i
course, given by the depart- j
ment's foreign service insti

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.

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-

too long to apply, then need
help in finding a college. Stu
dents who live in out of the
way places, too, may have a
hard time without help."
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.

high schools require 15 per

cent of their students to take
five full academic subjects
instead of four. 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. Many stu
dents can feel more at home
