Study Says Colleges 'Adequate'
NEW YORK (AP)—America's colleges and universities are doing a generally adequate, though somewhat uneven, job of fulfilling the basic purposes of higher education, the Carnegie Commission of Higher Education said Monday.
But the commission observed that a review of the purposes of higher education was necessary.
Gov. Lucey Asks Nixon To Resign
STATELINE, Nev. (AP)—Gov. Patrick Lacey of Wisconsin urged President Nixon Monday to resign because of the Watergate scandal, but another governor said Nixon still was capable of leading the nation and should stay in the White House.
Lucey, a Democrat, that because of Watergate Nixon could no longer lead the country effectively and should resign rather than risk retaliation to go through the pains of impeachment.
"I think that for the good of the country, the President ought to resign." Luey told reporters at the 65th annual National Legislature on this lake at Lake Tahoe gambling resort.
"The evidence, including his own 4,800-word statement, is so conclusive, not that he had knowledge of the cover-up, but that he cannot be rehabilitated." Lucey said.
In a news conference a few minutes earlier, Virginia Gov. Linwood Holton, chairman of the Republican Governors Association, said he would lead the nation and should stay in office.
Lucey said he was reserving judgment on whether to call for impoachment if Nixon chose the wrong man.
"The trouble with impachment," Lacey said, "is that the cure may be worse than the disease because of the long, drawn-out procedure.
"I don't think Nixon should force the country to that alternative," he said. "We ought not to be put through the traumatic experience of impeachment."

that there could be continued conflict about them during the remaining quarter of this year.
The main point of conflict is likely to be whether higher education should serve as a base of action against existing society on behalf of a different future society, the result of a new report, "Purpose and Performance, Higher Education in the United States."
Officers will be elected and bylaws to the constitution will be considered. Future corrections policy in Douglas County, such as a new jail, will be discussed.

Until now, the commission said, American colleges and universities have done a superior job in enlarging human capital in society and in forwarding pure research.
The institutions' performance in advancing educational and developmental skills is reported.
BUT THE commission said that more attention should be paid to the general education of students, to opportunities for them, and to their social well-being as the enhancement of their creative skills.
On two other purposes of higher education—expanding educational justice and assisting critical evaluation of society for the sake of society's self renewal—the institutions got poorer marks from the commission.
The commission said that educational justice could be improved by determined action.
IT ALSO recommended that special efforts be made to find qualified members of minority groups and women for consideration for faculty positions.
people from low-income and minority groups-with adequate financial assistance
The commission viewed higher education's role in the critical evaluation of society as "quite uneven in the past and uncertain for the future."
It said that individual members of the campus community, but not the institution
or its corporate bodies, should engage in such activity.
HOWEVER THE commission cautioned such individuals to keep in mind that "they are not the only people in society with a right to evaluate society."
The commission said that American higher education had become "heavily loaded with functions" over the years, ranging from providing financial support to advising and instructing persons and organizations outside the campus.
Beame Wins N.Y. Primary
NEW YORK (AP)—City Comptroller Abraham Beame won a four-way Democratic primary for mayor Monday, but failed to win 40 per cent of the vote and faces a runoff June 28 against Rep. Herman Badillo.

said they didn't trust the information in the media about the shortage. About a fifth of the students said they thought the crisis was genuine.
"Small cars are coming into their own again," one student observed.

a car. Twelve per cent said they walked, and eight per cent said they traveled by bicycle or motorcycle. Others used the bus and hitchhiked.
One woman commented that she didn't have a transportation problem because she had a job.
Almost half the students said they were living in an apartment this summer. Eleven persons said they were renting houses and an equal number said they were commuting. Others are living in a residence hall, a house they own, a duplex, a trailer.
More than half the students said they were cooking for themselves during the summer. One said, "I cook, but we go out to eat a lot." Another student, who is living in a residence hall, said, "I'm happy I don't have to cook."
Students interviewed did not include any freshmen. Almost half of those questioned said they were seniors, about a quarter said that they were graduate students and about half said they were junior students. Eight sophomores and one special student were also included.
Summer Enrollment Up 273
Tentative enrollment figures for the University of Kansas 101 summer session begin in August.
Summer Fee Use Unaltered
On the first day of class, 5,010 students were enrolled at the Lawrence campus and 1,311 were enrolled at the Kansas City campus, making a total of 6,321 students.
University usage of summer session students' fees is no different from that of similar fall and spring income, a university finance officer says.
Keith Nitcher, vice chancellor for business affairs, says that most of the money under the category of incidental fees goes into general university operations "to provide most of summer-session salaries plus some tail salaryes plus some department costs."
An undergraduate student taking six hours this summer pays $80.75 of his total $101.50 enrollment charge for those incidental fees.
As examples of typical costs covered by incidental fees, Nitcher cities address the costs of the chancellor, registrar and loans), supplies, travel and computer expenses.
"Summer fee-income will not be as much as summer-session salaries." Nitcher said in stressing that use of summer fees was the main use of fees in the fall and spring semesters.
As with regular-semester income, the difference between summer fee income and salaries is covered by the state legislature, Nitcher said.
In addition to incidental fees, summer-session students also pay a student activity fee and a health service fee, as do regular semester students.
The Kansas Board of Regents recently lowered the summer student activity fee from $4 to $3.50. The regular semester activity fee also was lowered, from $14 to $12. This fee is allocated by the Student Senate to "student oriented" University organizations.
However, the regents also took concert action raising the student health fee and the session fee was raised from $12.50 to $17.50 a semester register fee went from $23 to $30.
Those payments entitle students to classroom instruction, necessary ordinary health care, special health care at nominal rates, the use of the Kansas Union, free or reduced lunch, participation in activities and participation in daily activities and a copy of each University daily Kansan.
Ultimately, the various three non-optional fees paid by full-time students in summer session or a regular semester provide the same services.
This figure may change, however, since students may enroll for the summer session
The overall figure shows a 273 student increase from last summer's total of 6,048 students. The number of students on the Lawrence campus is down five from last year and those enrolled at the Kansas City city number 278 more than last year's total.
The general trend in enrollment since 1969 shows an increasing number of summer session students through the years except during 1971, when it showed a slight decline.
Overall enrollment in 1971 was 5,861, a drop from 1970's total of 5,886. Enrollment declined at both the Lawrence and Kansas City campus. Enrollment at the Lawrence campus in 1971 totaled 4,953, compared to 4,964 in 1970. At the Kansas City campus, 908 students enrolled in 1971, compared to 922 in 1970.
In 1969 total enrollment numbered 5,844,

S. E.A. means you can now enjoy in your own home the same kind of Sound Effect Amplification that was once limited to professional sound studios. This development, the most important in stereo amplifiers since the introduction of the transistor, puts you in total command of sound. Here are four reasons that S.E.A. makes every other type of amplifier obsolete:
1) S.E.A. gives you complete control of sound in all frequency ranges.
1) Brew a milk you complete control of sound in all frequency ranges.
2) Combined with a tape recorder or turntable, S.E.A. allows you to mix your own creation of sounds.
