Team Makes

year-old graduate program is
being hamstrung by lack Of
funds. staff and adequate hous-
ing. an accrediting committee
has declared.
Penny-pinched operation Of
the new graduate course also is
handicapping the colleges regu-
lar Misunderstanding, according
to the committee. The group said
the entire college should have
a new plant. a larger budget and
a larger faculty.
The accrediting group also
proposed setting up a new board
of higher education to take over
supervision of the college from
the Board OF Education.
The adverse comments resulted
from an inspection by team
from the Middle States Associa-
ton of Colleges and Secondary
Schools. The inspection was made
last spring but the confidential
report was not made public.
First Since Merger
The inspection. invited by the
college. was the first since mer-
ger of the former Wilson and
Miner Teachers Colleges under
indignation 1t also was the first
check-up on the new graduate
course.
The accrediting committee
listed these criticisms:
/. The new graduate program
was launched without increasing
the college faculty, resulting in
an almost certain watering
down of the overall course pro-
gram.
2. Some of the graduate course
offerings are inadequate. TAI
report cited French as one ex-
ample.
3. Too many of the same
courses are offered to both grad
yates and undergraduates. The
report said this was mot a
healthy condition"
4. The college library. split
between two buildings, lacks adj
Iequate housing. staff. equipment
and books and periodicals. The
report said the library's physical
facilities should be a matter of
chagrin to all citizens"
| 5. The colleges course in
library training is inadequate.
The report also cited apparent
inadequacies" in the school
library program throughout the
District public school system.
6. The colleges science and
physical education programs are
cramped by lack of space.
7. proper growth of the college
is difficult" under the present
control of the Board of Educa-
ton and the superintendent Of
schools.
Success Praised
The inspection team praised
the college in several respects.
1t cited what it termed remark

tegration. adding that this had
definitely strengthened the fac
ulty and administration" and
has made possible a better pro-

level"
Regarding the graduate pro-
gram. the team declared that adj
mission standards are "ade-
quate." admissions procedure
"functionally good" and that a
check of students transcripts
showed them capable Of doing
satisfactory graduate work.

Judge Praises
D. {. Handling
0fDrunk Cases
Jail Is Best Place
For Reporters,
Kronheim Says

Repeater DRINKS are a frus-
trating problem. Municipal Court
Judge Milton S. Kronheim, jr..
declared today, but the District
should not give up its present
method of handling them.
"This present process of lock-
ing them up and screening them
in court and in jail has grown up
over the years in response to the
need" Judge Kronheim said.
We're playing with fire if we
try to change the system. Just
because you've got a frustrating
problem doesn't mean you have
to do something drastic
Judge Kronheim said court
concern with DRINKS does not
end when they are sent to Jail.
The DRINKS get their records
checked with fingerprints, out
of-State and FBI records. The
judge checks the records and
may turn the DRINKS loose if
they have a guardian or sponsor
and no record of crimes of vio-
lence.
Treatment Urged
IF there's any hope at all,
I turn a drunk over to Alcoholics
Anonymous. a probation officer
or the alcoholic clinic" the
judge said.
A formula which judges fol-
low. Judge Kronheim said, is to
let a first offender go free with
a warning. For a second or third
drunk offense, the Judge usu-
ally imposes SIS or $40 fine. For
the fourth, fifth or sixth drunk
offense, the judge gives a To-day
Jail term. and for succeeding
offenses he gives IS, 20 or 30
day Jail terms.
Judge Kronheim emphasized
that DRINKS get cheerful atten-
ton at all stages of their move
ment through court and Jail. The
DRINKS get every opportunity to
get rehabilitation treatment in
Jail from the AA or religious
groups, he said.
Il don't know how you could
have a more careful system than
we have now" Judge Kronheim
said. Every judge does this.
It's not unique with me.

Problems Cited
Treatment should be given to
DRINKS who turn up in court
again and again, the Judge said
But treatment should be in ac-
cordance with records and with
the facilities at the Districts
disposal. Judge Kronheim said
Last week, The Star described
the problems of drunkenness

gave him the idea"
Mr.. Pullman was talking
about the late President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
and at the same time about
his own hobby.
Mr.. Rullman collects auto
graphs. But he doesn't do it
in the normal way-button-
holing celebrities at special
events and badgering them
for their signatures. His pro-
cedure is quiet and well or
ganized.
While he's reading his eve
ming newspaper, Mr.. Pullman
keeps handy a copy of the
Postal Guide.
When he spots a name in
the news, he jots it down.
Then he thumbs through his
Postal Guide to try to find,
among the towns listed there,
first and last names to fit
the name he's read.
Suppose, for example, he's
looking for Franklin Roose-
welt, He finds Franklin and
a Roosevelt. He sends off
letters to the postmasters in
those towns, enclosing stamped
envelopes.
He asks the postmaster to
cancel the stamp with the
postmark of his town. Then,
when he receives the post
marks bearing the first and
last names of the person
whose autograph he seeks, he
sends these off to the notable,
asking for his autograph and
a picture.
Notable among Mr.. Rull-
mans autographs are those of
George Bernard Shaw, Harry
Truman, Gen. Mark Clark and
Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
THE ONE THAT got away
pains him most.
Il tried for a long time to
get Franklin RooSevelt's auto
graph" he said. II went down
to the White House three
times with my postmarks of
the names Franklin 'Delano'
and Roosevelt
But each time I failed. I
sent them through the mail
three times. That failed, too.
II guess he was too busy.
But do you remember his
famous cufflinks parties? On
his birthday, he had a party,
and gave each guest a pair of
cuff links. One year, the cuff
links we're in envelopes bear
ing the postmarks President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Il like to think that I gave
him the idea"
MIR. Rullman, wiz lives at
528 Ingraham street NV,
says the idea is not original
with him.
II saw a piece in the paper
several years ago." he said.
1T included a picture show
ing the name of someone
spelled out in postmarks.
Il decided I'd start collect
ing autographs that way"
Mr.. Rullman said several
years ago he'd noted one name
in the news and had written
requesting the mans auto
graph.
"He sent the autograph, and
wrote that he'd been doing the
same thing for years." Mr..
Rullman said.
