Question: I am confused
about the choice of college for
my son. He has just entered his
senior year at high school. He
wants to be a doctor. Where
shall he go for his, pre-medical
training? Our family doctor has
recommended Oberlin, but the
school counselor suggested
Washington and Jefferson Col
lege. What do you advise?
Answer: They are both
top-notch colleges. Actually,
there is no one "best" college
for pre-medical education. I
could name at least 100 good
liberal arts colleges that could
turn out excellent students.
Much depends upon the per-
sonal desires of the individual.
Some boys and girls prefer a
small intimate college; others
want the wide campuses of a
Midwestern States university.
I have found this to be true,
though: Much depends upon
the student. The college offers
a great deal; it is up to your
son or daughter to make the
most Of what is offered. In your
case, either Oberlin or Wash
ington and Jefferson would be
a fine choice, if your son can
get in. Remember, it is not
easy to enter a big-name in
stitution these days. Good
grades are essential.
Question: My son is a
sophomore and plans to become
a national park ranger after
high school. Could you help
him select the proper courses
and the best college?
Answer: I'll have to repeat
what I told the mother of the
pre-med student: There is nc
single "best" college. Since you
live in Cleveland, I would sug-
gest that you check with the
State universities Of Ohio. Your
high school counselor could

ing I must take toward this
field.
Answer: To begin with, you
need, in most States. q four
year college degree as a mini
mum. Some States require a
year or two of professional or
graduate work beyond the
bachelors to get a license as a
school guidance counselor. You
will be asked to take courses
in counseling, in guidance
techniques and, more import
ant as basic subjects, in psy-
chology and sociology.
In New York State, for ex-
ample, the high school guild
ance counselor must have at
least a year Of graduate work
in the field of guidance and
counseling. Not long ago, any
one could become a school
counselor. But today the pro-
fessional approach has wor
the upper hand. But even al
your age you are young enough
to embark upon an academic
career, since you know the goal
you are after.
Question: I am deeply
interested in the Federal loar
program that you mentioned
in an earlier article. Are these
loans given to graduate stu
dents? I am a teacher ane
plan to work toward a masters
degree and continue in teach
ing. Could I get a loan? How
can I get further information
Answer: The Federal loans
are given to graduate as well al
to undergraduate students
However, if you continue teach
ing I'm afraid you will not b
eligible. You have to be a full
time student, and it would b
difficult to be both a full-tim'
student and a full-time teacher
But you might check with th'
college you plan to attend.

ASSOCIATED Prees Educatlon Writer
Millions Of young Americans
are being cheated out Of the
education they deserve because
they are not being taught how
to study.
Our public schools take pride
in the skills and vocations they
teach their pupils tipping.
woodwork, shorthand, auto me-
chanics and the like. But study
skills--the tried and proven
methods Of learning more, and
learning it faster and easier
are almost completely neg
lected.
80 Per Cent Inadequate
"At least. 90 per cent Of the
students who come here don't
know how to study effectively"
says Prof. George Weigand Of
the University Of Maryland.
Study skills should be taught
in the high school, but they
aren't. Some private prep
schools have courses in how
to study. but you win find them
in only a handful Of public
schools.
TITS true that many colleges
and universities have courses
in study skills. But this
shouldn't be part Of the college
program-the student should
know how to study by the time
I he gets here. just as he should
know how to read and write"
Mr.. Weigand is an authority
on effective study habits. He
has q doctors degree in psy-
chology, he is co-author Of a
college manual on study skills
and has completed the manu-
script for a similar work for
high school students.
There has been too little
systematic research on study
skills," he says. But we do
know that students who have
been unsuccessful in high
school-barely getting by-are
making the grade here at
Maryland with the methods
we teach"
Many Failures
Roughly 20 per cent Of the
young men and women who
start college never finish. about
half of them because Of aca-
demic difficulties. Most Of the
20 per cent who drop out or
fail because of trouble with
their studies have the tools
intelligence and ambition -
but they have never beer
taught how to use them.
! According to the latest fig.
ures, only so per cent of the
pupils who enter the fifth
grade stay around long enough
to graduate from high school
These are many reasons, but
one of the big ones is thai
school just gets to be too much
for them. They don't know
how to keep UP. and they quit
in Illustration.
You don't pick up knowledge
as you do a suntan, Just by be-
ing exposed to it," Mr.. Weiganc
said. you have to know how

Nixon Care
CitedinA Aged
Health Plea

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 (AP) :.
Gov. @. Mennen Williams of
Michigan said today the Ma
tion's senior citizens should
have available to them the
same type of medical care re-
ceived by Vice President Nixon.
Mr.. Nixon, the Republican
presidential nominee, was dis
charged last night from the
Walter Reed Army Medical
Center in Washington after II
days of treatment for a knee
infection.
Gov. williams, chairman of
the nationalities division Of the
Democratic National Commit
tee, raised the medical care
question in addressing about
so nationality group leaders
at the Overseas Press Club.
A reporter told him that Mr..
Nixon had paid his own bill at
the Government hospital-re-
portedly $34 a day for the Presi-
dental Suite.
Many public officials who
use Walter Reed Hospital dc
this" Gov. Williams replied
1.-THE point is, they don't have
to-they have always available
to them a kind of service which
should be available to all of our
senior citizens.
"And the point remains that
the old folks, so per cent oi
whom have less than $1,000 pei
year income, couldn't afford tt
pay it,"
. Gov. williams said in his ad-
dress he shared "the Satisfac.
tion of all Americans" that Mr.
: Nixon was restored to health
and is able to resume his cam
paign.

Promising Student

In the Sunday Star two

of Dale F. Shenk, named by
the Corcoran as an outstand-

old, he has been studying art
for six years, beginning as a
painter. His first one-man
show is in the lobby of the

vania avenue NV, through
next Saturday.
The paintings range from
