UPI Education Editor
Student unrest these days
comes from the gap between
what’s promised by colleges—
and what’s served.
Dozens of scholars,
disappointed when courses did
not match descriptions in
recruitment booklets or
catalogues, are suing the
schools of their choice o-c.
discrepancies.
Uncle Sam, anxious to help
the consumer of education to
more truthful information, has
$23,000 grants out to each of 11
postsecondary schools — from
community college to
proprietary secretarial
schools—to come up with
models of booklets making
promises more realistic.
Barat College in Lake Forest,
111., a liberal arts four-year
school for women, is the first to
produce a prospectus for
students under the grant
program.
Dr. Theodore J. Marchese,
Barat’s Director of In-
stitutional Research, is a
member of the National Task
Force on Better Information
for Student Choice.
In interview he said the
members on the Task Force
hold similar positions at the
other 10 schools participating in
the pilot program.
The grants are from the U.S.
Department of Health,
Education and Welfare’s Fund
for the Improvement of
Postsecondary Education.
“The idea here,” Marchese
said, “is to make the school a
little more responsible to the
student as a consumer.”
He likened the campaign to
“truth in advertising”—which
rules out any promises that
cannot be kept
The model catalogue Barat
produced is called a
prospectus.
The small Catholic women’s
school in the suburb of Chicago
cautions prospective students
that those talented in music or
mathematics might do better to
look further for a college with a
top faculty, students and
facilities in these fields.
Such truths are important
considerations to the Barat
#udents—350 of 850 are
homemakers or middle-aged
women returning to college.
“They are experienced
consumers and demand
anything that will help them to
be better buyers of education,”
Marchese said.
The prospectus also reports
that the library isn’t great in
references for every subject
In fact, for six of the
departments, according to the
prospectus, the minimum
number of books and
periodicals acquired are only
those required to support
departmental courses.
“The prospectus is designed
to tell prospective students as
much about Barat as we ask
them to tell us about them-
selves,” Marchese said.
“We decided to call it a
prospectus because just as a
corporation offers a prospectus
to let investors make an in-
formed and fair choice, we felt
a college should offer a

prospectus to let students make
such a choice.”
The Barat prospectus also
lists the best liked and least
liked features, based on student
interviews.
Mistrial Called
In Saxe Trial
BOSTON (UPI) - Armed
robbery-felony murder
proceedings against antiwar
activist Susan Edith Saxe ended
Wednesday in a mistrial and a
hung jury “numb” from its
deliberations.
Suffolk Superior Court
Justice Walter H. McLaughlin
ended the trial exactly four
weeks after the first juror was
seated. He ordered the six-man,
six-women jury, attorneys and
court officers not to discuss the
trial publicly.
Suffolk County District Attor-
ney Garrett Byrne said he
would seek a new trial on each
of the three indictments against
the 27-year-old Brandeis Uni-
versity honors graduate, who
spent nearly five years on the
FBI’s Most Wanted List.
“We have attempted to
deliberate dispassionately,”
Jury Foreman Dennis Lee
Milford wrote McLaughlin.
“We are numb from this discus-
sion.”
McLaughlin declined to de-
clare a mistrial Tuesday, even
after being told by Milford, a
Boston computer analyst, the
jury was “hopelessly deadlock-
ed.”
Prosecutor John T. Gaffney
had attempted to prove Ms.
Saxe helped plan and par-
ticipated in the $26,585 robbery
of the State Street Bank and
Trust Co. branch, in which
Patrolman Walter A. Schroeder
was killed.
The disappointment at the
outcome was evident on the
faces of everyone connected
with the trial: Ms. Saxe, her
parents and supporters, her
lawyers Nancy A. Gertner and
Thomas G. Shapiro, and Gaff-
ney.
Gaffney’s case hinged on the
testimony of Robert Valeri and
Michael S. Fleisher, a Brandeis
radical turned Philadelphia
social worker. Both men have
admitted being accessories in
the holdup.
There were no other prosecu-
tion witnesses who connected
her with the crime, not even the
three bank employes who
allegedly were five feet from
her during the 1970 robbery.
Ms. Gertner, who surprised
everyone by resting her case
immediately after Gaffney
rested his, tried to convince the
jury Fleisher and Valeri traded
their testimony for lighter
treatment. She hinted the two
lied to protect two other women.

spring to pinpoint the pros and
cons of the project
The University of California,
Irvine, is the second of the Task
Force Schools out with a
prospectus. The others, with
models of such printed reports
to prospective students in
process, include:
Portland State University in
Oregon; the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign;
University of California at Los
Angeles; Morris Brown College
in Atlanta, a black liberal arts
college.
The community colleges in-
clude Mountain Empire
Community College in Big
Stone Gap, Va.; Monroe
Community College in
Rochester, N.Y.; Macomb
County Community College
outside Detroit.
The proprietary (for profit)
schools include Heald Colleges,
a string of secretarial schools;
and National Radio Institute in
Washington, D. C.
Barat submitted its
prospectus to three outside
reviewers to conduct an audit
of its “accuracy, fairness.”
Marchese said the auditors
reported the reader ought to be
cautioned “that many
narrative descriptions of
college practices and activities,
as well as statements of the
college’s ideals, expectations,
and intentions, are not
susceptible to verification.”
However, the auditors said
Barat had succeeded in
producing an improved in-
formation disclosure
document.

tiful in the Hudson River that
steaks made from the light
almost boneless meat of the
big fish were called "Albany
beef ."

DEAR ANN LANDERS;
Your admonition to “Reno,
Nevada” to remember that
“fifty per cent of the doctors
now practicing medicine were
in the bottom half of their
class” was misleading. If
you believe that those who
graduated in the upper fifty
per cent turned out to be bet-
ter doctors—you’re wrong.
I’m a medical student who
heard you speak at Duke Uni-
versity and though you were
great. That answer wasn’t
what I expected from you,
Ann Landers.
From what I’ve seen here
at Duke (and Harvard before
that) I can tell you those
academic geniuses often make
better research guys than
practicing physicans. It’s one
thing to be brilliant in the lab
and another thing to be a
compassionate, dedicated doc-
tor.
These days, when it is es-
pecially difficult to get into
ANY medical school, I’ve of-
ten though what a pity it is
that so many potentially first-
rate physicians are being ex-
cluded because the emphasis
is so heavily slanted toward
the academic. Of course a
competent physician must
know his stuff when it comes
to the basic sciences, but the
human qualities—maturity,
stability, a sense of dedica-
tion and caring—don’t come
through in the tests and they
are extremely important in
the making of a fine physi-
cian. Sign me—Durham, N. C.
DEAR N. C.: Your concept
is right on. And guess who
is putting it into practice?
The People’s Republic of
China. They pick their med-
ical students precisely along
the lines you mentioned.
Academic achievement counts
for less than 50 per cent
DEAR ANN: I am married
to a man who eats too much,
drinks too much and smokes
too much. I’ve fought all
those battles and lost, so now
I’m writing about a problem
I’ve never seen discussed in
your column.
Every night Charles goes to
sleep with radio earphones
plugged into his ears. He
claims he can’t sleep without
them and even takes the stu-
pid things along when we go
on vacation.
Frequently during the night
the earplugs fail out and scare
me to death with the 3:00
a. m. news or the sudden blast
of a rock band. Charles never
hears a thing because he’s
snoring his head off.
I need my rest and would
like to know what I can do
about this. Some nights I get
so mad I fed like strangling
him with the earphone cords.
Please don’t suggest that I
sleep elsewhere. We have no
spare room. Thanks for what-
ever help you can give me —
Baggy-Eyed In Suburbia
DEAR B. E.: Do you have
adhesive tape in the house?
Well, use it to secure the ear-
phones to your husband’s
head—and get some rest,
honey.

Q: I’ve been divorced for
over a year. I don’t know
the whereabouts of my ex-
wife and my two children, so
I don’t know where to send
child support payments or
how to visit my children.
What happens if my ex-wife
files a petition to terminate
my parental rights?
A: Anyone who is sued for
the purpose of terminating
their legal rights as a parent
must be notified before the
suit can be tried. The law
allows an exception from
this notification requirement
if the parent bringing the
suit testifies that the other
parent’s whereabouts are
unknown; in this case, noti
fication would be attempted
by publication.
Q: When my husband died,
our house became my home-
stead, although I’m not
living in it at the present
time. Now that his daughter
by a previous marriage has
reached the age of 18, can
she make me sell the house
in order to get cash for her
share of the house?
A: So long as a widow’s
right to a homestead has not
been abandoned by the
widow, she cannot be forced
to sell it to accomplish a di-
vision of the property for the <-
benefit of a step-child. The
widow’s right to the home
stead allows her to use it
during her lifetime with the
remainder passing after her
death to the late husband's
children or their descen
dants.
Q: Our daughter died with-
out a will and is survived by
her husband and two small
children. Their father won’t
let us see them at all. Is
there any way we can see
these children? And, who
handles the estate the child-
ren should receive?
A: Any grandparent has
the right to petition the dis-
trict court in the county
where the grandchild re-
sides in order to obtain
visitation rights. To do so,
the grandparent asks to be
named as a possessory con-
servator of the child and
asks the court to compel the
managing conservator, who
in this case apparently is the
child's father, to make the
child available for visitation.
The duty of managing the
child's estate is placed on the
managing conservator.
Q: Is il possible to amend a
birth certificate after it is filed
with the Birth and Death
Records Section of the State
Department of Health?
A: Yes, it is possible to
amend a birth certificate in
most instances by filing an
affidavit swearing to the truth
of those sections which re-
quire changing This proce-
dure applies to statistical
information as well as other
sections on the certificate. The
Birth and Death Records
Section makes an indepen-
dent determination, and will
either allow or deny the
amendment.

OSED SUNDAYS
By Oswald & James Jacoby
The less said about the bid-
ding of today's hand, the
better. Not that six hearts
isn't a reasonable contract,
but there must be as many
ways of bidding thosfaNorth-
South cards as thm are
bridge players
South went up with dum-
my's ace of spades, led the 10
of trumps and finessed West
took his king and laid down the
queen of spades South ruffed
and went into executive ses-
sion. There were three ways
to play. One was to lead a
trump to dummy 's seven and
take the club finesse. If that
worked he would draw
trumps, discard one club on a
high diamond and repeat the
club finesse.
The second line was to cash
the ace of diamonds, ruff a
diamond, enter dummy with
the seven of trumps and,
assuming trumps broke 2-2,
hope to he able to run the
diamonds.
South decided on a third line
of play that didn't offer quite
as good a chance
mathemetically, but gave him
an opportunity for lots of
thought at the end of the play
Neither of the first two lines
would work. His line did. He
simply ran off all his trumps
while discarding down to four
diamonds and a club in dum-
my. Then he went after
diamonds and since the queen
was kind enough to drop he
was home with the slam
An Illinois reader wants to
know if Ely Culbertson was an
American citizen by birth.
He was actually born in
Ploesti, Rumania, but was
registered with the U S. Con-
sul as an American citizen, so
the answer to the question is
"Yes"
