Small Colleges Valuable

TIIE private colleges in this country. most
Of them small, have been struggling in
recent years to keep their heads above wa
ter. There are isolated examples. Of course
where private colleges are richly endowed,
and where money is no problem.
On the other hand for the majority Of
them, the economic battle is their most diff
ficult one.
One thing many people do not understand
is the fact that private colleges save them
tax money. For example, if all college stu
dents went to state universities, the load on
these universities would be far greater than
it is today.
1t is a known fact that it costs SO much
per student at state universities, and if the
student load were increased tremendously
AS it would be if students in private colleges
were to 20 to state universities en- massc
then the taxpayer would have to finance the
added cost. As it is, various private groups.
churches, etc. finance the salaries Of the
staff. and all other expenses of the private
college, which does not receive any tax
money from that state whatsoever
And when one realizes that most Of the
country's Presidents, and most of the top
leaders Of industry, are graduates Of small
liberal arts colleges - despite the fact that
a greater number of students arc graduated
from state universities one can appreci-

An important third point about

these chapters from Deuteronomy

question: Could God have turned
the Ten Commandments upside

to- Could be just as well have said.

The coordinator here is
Polish-born Mrs. Marie Nag
orski whose husband, Zyg-
munt Nagorski, is with the
United States I Information
Agency.
Two leaders are assigned
to each group. They serve
without pay but have been
trained to see that all points
of view are presented on each
question without, however,
expressing any person a l
opinions Of their own. Often
they come from the ranks Of
previous group participants.
A second-floor room at the
Georgetown Public Library
provided the locale for the
opening February IS of a
typical discussion group on
American foreign policy.
Varied Backgrounds
Ken Kerle, a graduate
student at American Univer-
sity, and Evelyn Scharf, a
manpower specialist in the
Navy Department, were the
leaders.
Four other men were In the
group of about 20. Each
participant was given an OUT
sized placecard on which to
write his or her name but
there were no introductions.
1t was learned, however, that
participants included a
mother and daughter and a
young married couple from
Arlington.
One of the men was a high
school professor; another, an
electronics engineer. One of
the women is employed at the
German Embassy.
This being the initial ses-
sion. assignments from the
selected readings had not
been made in advance. The
group. however, was given a
few minutes to read an
excerpt. "Of Cockroaches,
Grasshoppers and the Con-
duct of American Foreign
Policy" from Charles B.
Marshall's 1.-The Limits of
Foreign Policy"
Miss Scharf opened the
discussion by calling for
opinions on one of Marshall's
statements: ours is an &C.
countable government"
There was some hesitation
at first. But soon the assem-
blage had progressed to the
question: How is our for
eign policy made?", which, in
turn brought up: "Is it a le-
