EDUCATION
FORUM
BY BENJAMIN FINE

@. I need advice and maybe
you can help me. I want to
go to college this fall, but thus
far I've been turned down by
five colleges. You see, ] only
have a C average in high
school, and didn't do well on
my college tests. I know I
could do better If only I had
applied myself harder. But I
was more interested in sports
and social life than in study
ing. I was nagged at home and
! resented that, too. Isn't there
any place for me? I'm not sure
what I want to be when I
finish college. My parents are
ready to pay for my education.
But where can I go?
A. Unfortun a ely, your
plaintive cry, Where can I go
to college?" is repeated q thou
sand times as we get into May
and June. Many high school
graduates look back and say:
"Oh, why didn't I study
harderP" With a c average, for
get about the Ivy League or
the big name institutions.
They are not for you.
But that doesn't mean that
you should abandon your hope
to go to college. Who can pre-
dict whether with your high
school C and plenty of mott
vation and ambition you may
not come out ahead of the B
or even A student? OF course,
from the colleges point Of
view, you are a poor risk. Not
only did you do mediocre work
in high school, but you did
poorly on the college tests. On
paper alone you are more likely
to funk out of college than
is your classmate with better
school records.
High school students should
get a second chance. I have
seen many fine youngsters
make good after they realized
their early mistakes. Is there
a college that will accept you?
I believe there is. Try the
smaller, lesser known colleges
in the Midwest or Far West.
Some of them, despite over
crowding, have available
places. I may be criticized for
this, but my advice to you,
and other c students with a
desire for more education: Go
to college. The Nation needs
as many trained men as it can
get.
@. Please advise me regard
ing my sons choice Of college.
He is a high school junior and
has an average of 80 per cent
in his major subjects. He is
well liked by his teachers and
fellow students. The problem
facing him now is to apply to
the best possible colleges where
he has a good chance Of ac-
ceptance. How can we decide
which college is best? There
are so many. Shall we visit
the colleges? Which ones? It's
all so confusing. You see, I
neverswent beyond high school
and this is all new to me. I
don't want my boy to make a
mistake.
A. A boy with a 90-plus
average doesn't have to be too
concerned. But you are right
in thinking about college while
your son is still a junior. Early

next fall he'll have to start
making hard decisions. You
ask a question that is fire.
quently tossed at me: What
is the "best" college for my
boy, or my girl? My answer is
this: There is no single best
college. It all depends on what
your boy wants in the way OF
an education. Does he want a
small liberal arts college? A
large university? An engineer
ing program? A campus with
football glamour? A co-educa-
tional institution?
These questions must be
answered before your boy can
eliminate the hundreds of good
colleges available to him. And
don't forget: Even after he
decides on the college Of his
choice, there is no way of
knowing whether the college
will choose him. But unlike
the problem of the boy with
the C average, your son will
have many more colleges open
to him. He may have trouble
getting into the Ivy League
colleges, but many excellent
colleges will be delighted to
accept him II he continues to
do A work.
My suggestion is: Talk to
your boys guidance counSelor,
get a list Of colleges from him
that look promising, and then
write for the catalogues. BY
all means, visit the colleges If
you can. Nothing replaces a
personal interview and campus
visit to get the "feel" Of the
college. And my final advice:
Please tell your boy not to
have his heart set on any
single best" college. There are
hundreds Of excellent colleges
and universities in this
country.
