Goals Held Essential
To Stoy in College

isn't measured by this process.
There are three areas that
do not seem to be adequately
measured:
. Goals. The sincerity and
validity Of a stated goal is
difficult to evaluate in an
interview. Goals do have a
bearing on the problem of
success in college. A study of
dropouts among women stu
dents in a major State uni
versity indicated that a large
proportion of them seemed to
have a very hazy notion of
why they we're in college in
the first place.
. The ability to communi-
cate. A survey of college
teachers of freshman English
as to what knowledge and
skills a freshman most needs
could be summed up in the
words: "He should be able to
write a paragraph that COM
m unicates the desired
thought" This sounds sim
pie, but tells an important
story.
. The ability to grasp guam
titative ideas. The processes
of comprehension on which
modern science and tech
nology rest call for thought
processes that some students
have not acquired and that
they actually seem to resist.
Thinking Doesn't Hurt
Some students tend to
avoid such subjects as physics
or chemistry which require
complete understanding of
each idea, not just the memo
rization of a fact. They do
not seem to realize that this
type of thinking doesn't hurt.
It's even rather pleasant,
once they try it.
For example: Solving the
puzzle of balancing a chemi-
cal equation may call for 10
or Is minutes of hard, con-
centrated thought the first
time. Once the student sees
exactly how one equation is
balanced, he can balance

Some places, like jails and

colleges.
Getting into college is a
problem, with the applicants
outnumbering the available
facilities.
Staying in college, once in,
is another problem. It's a
problem for students. parents
and college authorities. In
fact, in our cold war situa-
ton, college dropouts are a
national concern.
Colleges try to limit admis-
sions in the fairest possible
way. They are dealing with
the futures of individuals,
and no one knows better than
the admissions officer that
the decisions need to be
right.
How They Choose
John Steinbaugh, director
of admissions to the Univer-
sity Of Southern California,
has stated: "One man ex-
cluded who could have sue
ceeded and replaced by one
man who does not succeed
produces at least seven frus-
trated people: Two students,
four parents and one admis-
sions officer"
How are the choices made?
In most cases, college en-
trance is placed upon 1) ex-
cellence Of the applicants
high school grades, (2) the
results shown on a test such
as the scholastic aptitude test
Of the college entrance board,
and 90 an analysis Of the
individual factors which
might affect success. such as
moral character, health, and
personal goals.
Sounds sensible? OF course.
Then why do students who
pass this sort of screening
still fail in college? Some

The United States was re-
ported near the end of its
patience today with what Of
ficials privately call Communist
stalling over a cease fire in
Laos.
President Kennedy has initi-
ated consultations with allied
governments and with congress
sional leaders on what steps
may be taken next to prevent
more of Laos from falling to
Soviet-backed rebel forces.
In a message to Prime Minis
ter Nehru of India Mr.. Ken
nedy repeatedly expressed his
grave concern over the cease
fire delay and asked Mr.. Nehru
to use his influence to get the
fighting stopped.
New action could include
United States and allied mill
tary intervention aimed at
halting the rebel offensive. In
formed officials said that Mr..
Kennedy had not decided
finally on his next move.
Concern Expressed
A State Department state
ment last night declared real
United States concern over the
failure of the Pathet Lao rebel
forces" to accept a British
Soviet cease fire call issued last
week end.
Behind this concern was a
growing anxiety that the rebel
offensive could shortly result
in the capture of the royal
capital, Luang Prabang, and
the administrative capital
Vientiane.
Should rebel successes bring

the collapse Of the pro-West-
ern Boun Gum government, the
ability of the Western powers
to deal with the Communist
challenge in the Southeast
Asian kingdom would be almost
disastrouSly crippled.
Beyond the immediate threat
to Laos, Kennedy administra-
ton leaders fear, is a broader
threat to South Wet Nam and
Thailand. The United States
recently gave both countries
new assurances of military sup
port as events may require.
Deadline Ignored
In Laos, there was no indi-
cation that the Pathet Lao had
called off the shooting at noon
today. The royal government
set that hour for the halt in
fighting to become effective.
Before leaving Washington
on a speech-making trip, Mr..
Kennedy conferred yesterday
with congressional leaders. He
told them, it was learned, that
the situation for pro-Western
forces in Laos was deteriorat-
ing and that further moves
have to be considered seriously.
Following this meeting, the
State Department issued a
statement which said:
"Today's discussions have
revolved around the question
of what the approach of the
United States and other ma
tionS interested in maintaining
the integrity of an independent
Laos is to be should the Com
munist rebels prove completely
unwilling to grant a cease fire
and work toward a peaceful
solution"
The President also had a
session yesterday with the Ma
tional Security Council.
Part of Package Deal
The cease fire call was part
of a package deal negotiated
by Britain and Russia. Another
part of the agreement called
for a 14-nation conference to
open May II at Geneva for
the purpose of working out a
permanent Laotian settlement.
Officials indicated that if the
cease fire was not accepted in
fact as well as in theory by
the Communist side the United
States had no intention Of 60
ing to the conference.
State Department Press Of
ficer Lincoln White declined
to discuss the question of a
cutoff point" for United States
patience in waiting for the
rebel forces, which now hold
much of Northern Laos, to
agree to end the fighting. How
ever, authorities said the Ken
nedy administration was not
willing to wait very much
longer.
Both the United States and
Britain have urged the Soviet
government to see that the
Soviet-backed rebels fall in line
with the cease-fire agreement
without further delay.
Officials Also Meet
In addition to conferring
with the congressional leaders, |
Mr.. White said, the President
also met yesterday with ad-
ministration officials on the
crisis. Altogether several hours
of Mr.. Kennedy,s time were
devoted to this problem.
The statement issued by Mr..
White re-emphasized the de-
clared United States desire for
"a political settlement that
would assure "a truly neutral
Laos permitted to go its
own way in peace"
I'VE agreed to the 14-nation
conference" Mr.. White said,
in the hope that a peaceful
way might be found to achieve
this status for Laos"
