Vice President Agnew can rest easy from his recently
voiced fear that American colleges and universities may-be
jeopardizing academic exc ellence in order to accommodate
a flood of unprepared or unqualified minority students.
Not only are most schools not engaged in programs dey
signed to assist disadvanta ged students, most of them are
not even considering such programs.
This was the conclusion reached in the first phase of a
comprehensive study being conducted at Teachers College.
Columbia University. Sponsored by the Ford Foundation
. in co-operation with the College Entrance Examination
Board and the National Scholarship Service and Fund for
Negro Students, the study involves 4,119 universities,
nursing schools and two-year and four-year colleges
.. throughout the country.'
The purpose of the study iis to "determine the number
of institutions with special programs, and the nature of
these programs, which are designed to make the college
experience more accessible and successful for disadvan-
taged college aspirants."
Fully 72 per cent of the institutions responding stated that

ing effect.
But most important of all, Nixon is attempting to show
Hanoi that antiwar pressure in the United States will not
deter him from prosecuting the war to an honorable finish
—one that guarantees the independence and self-determi-
nation of South Vietnam
- It is known that the President's top advisers at the White
House, at the State Department and the Pentagon for some
time have believed there is no hope of ending the war so.
long as Hanoi is convinced that public opinion would in the •
end cause the United States to yield
That is, the White House men are certain Hanoi will keep
on fighting full tilt so long as that belief holds in the north.
It was defeatist groups within France (whose beliefs
finally permeated the top levels of the Paris government)
which triggered Ho Chi Minh's victory in 1954 The catas-
trophe at Dien Bien Phu was an excuse- not the cause-
for France's defeat. *
Nixon's closest advisers are certain that the men in
Hanoi are convinced history will repeat itself. But the
White House men are equally certain that once: Ho's suc-
cessors "realize" that this psywar defeat-the U. S -at-home
strategy will not work. once Hanoi realizes we are deter-
mined to fight as long as necessary, then the North Viet
namese will find some way out.
President Nixon's men don't expect this to result in-suc-
cessful peace talks at Paris.
They are convinced that when and if the Communists
decide to buy out of the war, Hanoi will let the war fade
away, salvaging what can be salvaged and setting the stage
for fighting again some other day
* • This hopefully will give, the South Vietnamese several
years in which to build a strong government, a viable
economy, a strong, efficient police force and an army able
to match any regulars or-guerrillas Hanoi can muster.
This then, is Nixon's strategy and hope.
