majority that said control of

Here are some of the views
offered:
Stations should regulate
their programs, but viewers
should be more vocal in pro-
testing horrible shows" "They
need no more control, or all the
shows will turn out to be dull,
so-called educational programs.
I enjoy my choice of the va
riety I get now" 1.-THE gov
ernmental function is not to
censor entertainment or news"
Federal control of communi-
cations can lead to the same
condition that exists in Russia. {"
Advertisers should be a little
more controlled and shouldn't
be allowed to use the garbage
they do" There could be bet
ter censorship and much of the
trash cut out" eff present
programs are not controlled,
they will create more delin-
quency."
1.-THE children's programs, on
the whole, are very bad and the
commercials are abominable.
We need more cultural pro-
grams" Controls are needed
on the violent shows, but I
would like to see controls at a
minimum"

American u. Plans
For Center Unveiled

Plans for American Uni

Center were unveiled yester-
day at a meeting of the uni
versity's Board Of Trustees.
The center, a non-denomi-
national chapel which may be
used by persons of all faiths
regardless of race, religion or
personal convictions" will be
built on the university's up
town campus. Present plans
call for it to be placed at
the head Of a planned campus
mall with it's back toward
Massachusetts, avenue.
The structure will have a
cherry interior with colored
glass windows. Its main chapel
and lobby will be raised two
stories above ground level with
offices, a library, lounge and
smaller meeting rooms on the
lower level.
The center will be 70 feet
long by 40 feet wide and is ex-
pected to cost just under $780,
900. COMMUNICATING cere-
monies will take place some
time this spring.
The trustees also agreed to
complete plans for the univer-
sity'S new law school. Con-
struction of the 81 million unit
is expected to begin early next
year.
An extensive financing cam
paign for the school-which
will move it from the univer-
sity'S downtown center to the
uptown campus-is under way.
There will be no let-up in
our efforts to raise additional
funds" said university Presi-

seem unfair to get loads of
work, when 1t would be so nice
to spend Saturday and Sunday
with no school work to nag
you. AS a matter of fact, some
teachers I know do not give
homework over the week end.
They say that it is important
that youngsters go out and
play and have a good time with
their friends or do whatever
children your age do when not
in school.
My own opinion? I'd side
with you. I think that a good
teacher can so arrange his
work that you'd get maybe a
little more each school day.

free. After all, even grown
ups want a five-day week, and
now the electricians union has
even won a 25-hour week! AS
the father Of four daughters,
all in school and college at
present, I know that they
rarely do weekend homework
except perhaps late Sunday
evening when they should be in
bed. How about it, parents and
teachers, what do you think?
Would you agree with joyce
and the millions of other Joyces
throughout the Nation-that
school work should be reserved
for school days?
Question: Since our seven
children have started gradual
ing and getting ready for COL
iege, we have a question we
would like to have you answer.
We have heard about the stu
dent loan fund, but don't know
details. How much interest is
charged? How soon after the
student finishes college should
the loan be paid back? Where
can we get information about
student loans?
Answer: With seven children
getting ready for college, don't
wonder at your concern about
loans. You are probably refer
ring to the Federal loans, au-
thorized under the National
Defense Education Act of 1858.
The Government has made
many millions of dollars avail
able to needy college students.
But you can't apply to the
Government. You'll have to ap-
ply for a loan directly to the
college your children will enter.
Specifically, to answer your
questions: Interest rate is 3 per
cent. The student has 10 years
after finishing college to repay
the loan. And if he enters
teaching, SO per cent of the
loan is forgiven. Some 1,45O
colleges and universities now
take advantage of the Federal
loans. BY all means, it is worth
while to seek a loan for a COL
lege education. If you can't get
a Federal loan, you might check
whether your State offers stu
dent loans. Many do. Also, a
number of private banks lend
money to students.

EDUCATION
FORUM
BY BENJAMIN FINE

Question: I am worried over
our daughters eighth-grade
report card, especially reading
She got D in reading, yet her
everyday work seems all right
She asked her teacher why she
was marked low and all he said
was that she reads too fast. She
does assignments we'll and
promptly, makes good use OF
class time, is courteous and CO.
operative, is above average in
most of her subjects, yet is
marked poorly in reading.
just don't understand it. How
can we improve our child's
grade in reading? What do you
suggest?
Answer: You pose a question
that many parents ask with
growing frequency these days.
Much concern has been ex-
pressed over the issue of read
ing. We have heard from the
so-called experts that the
younger generation is not being
taught to read correctly. But
the evidence, from various aca-
demic sources, suggests that
our children read as we'll, if not
better, than their parents or
grandparents did. Personally, I
think we are getting too con-
cerned about reading.
But this doesn't help your
own situation. An eighth
grader who does well in all her
subjects, yet does poorly in
reading, Is rather rare. Usually
a D in reading would indicate
that the pupil is having trouble
with other subjects as well. But
you say that she reads fast.
Perhaps she hasn't learned how
to comprehend what she Is
reading. Or she may not be
doing just what her teacher
expects of her. I would meet
with the teacher and get it
firsthand the suggestions or
recommendations that he may
make. If the school has a guild
ance counselor, arrange for an
appointment with him, too.
Normally I wouldn't worry
about a D or any other grade.
1t is difficult, in my opinion,
to grade accurately. But since
your child will be entering high
school next year, it is i'm
portant to know whether there
is any basic defect that must be
corrected. Reading, as such, is
not taught on the secondary
level. If there are any prob
lens, they should be cleared up
now, while your daughter is
still in elementary school.
Question: Don't you think
that the week ends should be
kept for us eighth graders?
Our teachers give us a lot of
homework for the week end,
after we've had homework all
week long. Is this fair? What
do you think?
Answer: Joyce, I sympathize
with you! Sometimes it does

ing number Of children arrive
at school without learning to
get their thoughts across to
others.
Children need practice in
putting their ideas, needs and
thoughts together in a way that
they can say them. It isn't as
easy for a child to express an
idea as it is for an adult.
The child has fewer words to
use and some situations are
beyond his ability to under
stand and explain.
Reading helps children learn
to use new words. Let your
child tell you what he has read.
Let him tell you in his own
words. Often he will need to
use words from the story to.
explain the action.
It takes time and patience
to listen carefully while a
child's story goes on endlessly
without really getting any,
where. Let him! This is how
he learns to use words.
Needs Vocabulary
He may know what he wants
to say, but not how to say it.
He Is having a hard time find
ing the right words-and he
may need some help in finding
them-but that dosen't mean
that he can't.
If we let our impotence push
us into a game Of 40 Cues

using the words, while the child

We want children to do and
say the right things at the
right time. If they are to learn
social graces, they need prac-
tice in using the right word
in the right place.
When they are very young,
children may need considerable
prompting to say Please"

THANK you," and Excuse me, "
but at some point-the sooner
the better - the prompting
should stop.
The words aren't the impor-
tant thing. Children must
learn to recognize the situation
in which the words fit and
say them for themselves.
Wrong Way Help
The 10-year-old child who
still hears Tell the man,
Thank you,' dear" isn't think
ing and isn't learning. Some
one else is doing it for him.
The job of the parent in
helping the child communicate
can be quite simple. Nature
is on your side. One of the
deepest desires Of all humans
is to communicate ideas and
feelings to others.
Children do not have to be
taught how to express them
selves so much as given a
chance to learn to do it. And
the best aid to this kind of
learning is an interested lis
tener-you.
AS the child grows older, his
observations and ideas become
complex more rapidly than his
vocabulary.
Encourage him to take time
to put his thoughts into words,
his words into sentences and
then say them. Take time
and wait for clear statements.
There is no substitute for
