Slavs, Italians Hail Trieste Decision
Belgrade Quiet, Rome Happy
Belgrade—(U.R.)—Yugoslavs were quietly pleased with the settlement of the Trieste question today.
The violent emotions of a year ago were gone. In their place was a calm satisfaction.
Last year there were six days of street demonstrations and troop movements when the United States and Great Britain tried to settle the Trieste issue by a decision taken Oct. 8 to hand over Zone A to Italy.
This year, there was a feeling that the solution was a fair one. There was no violence and little dissatisfaction.
Today's agreement bore a superficial resemblance to that which the Yugoslavs blocked a year ago. But the Yugoslavs refused to consider the two as similar.
Yugoslav reasoning on this situation ran this wav:
Rome—U.R.P.—Premier Mario Scelba today hailed the newly-negotiated Trieste settlement as “a great day for Italy.”
"The 1953 proposal was a unilateral decision, an attempt to impose an order on a free country without its consent. That we could not accept.
Both the Communists and the Fascists opposed the agreement, but the center parties that control Parliament are expected to support the government when the question comes up for a vote of confidence.
The cabinet met at Government house to vote formal approval of the agreement, and then went in a body to the Quirinal palace to present it to President Luigi Einaudi.
The United States, Britain, and France hope the setttlement will prove final.
Premier Sceilba alerted riot police throughout Italy to "keep celebrations in order"and to deal with any mobs mustered by extremist opponents of the settlement.

Can Students 'Goof' and Graduate?
Lack of adequate training in secondary school is among the causes for freshman failure. Almost every
The G-Factor, or goofing, has been cited as a reason for failure of intelligent freshmen students who could and should be college graduates, and defined as "upsetting the balance between college's academic and social life."
In an article carried in the Oct. 2 Saturday Evening Post, "How to Stay in College," Robert Jameson, head of a preparatory school's English department, asks, "Why do students fail in college?"
Dealing first with the academic non-adjustment of the freshman, Mr. Jameson says, "Although they may state it differently, all college deans from coast to coast agree on one point: The major problem of the college freshman is that of adjusting to a new way of life, in which he is expected to behave like an adult."
In college, the article says, men and women are asked to learn to think, to meet complex intellectual problems, and to handle these problems on their own.
And, a freshman's reaction to failure is a clear indication of whether he is a child or an adult, Mr. Jameson continues. "The adult simply works harder. The child may get surly. He may blame the instructor; he may look for excuses to blame his failure—headaches, a loud-mouthed roommate, the radio across the hall."
"Iintellectual independence. 4 h e first requisite of college, is often a distinct shock to a freshman."
school queried by Mr. Jameson reported that the average freshman is deficient in the skills of reading and composition. Another cause of freshman-year failure was "not seeing advisers often enough."
The third cause of freshman academic failure is not knowing how much to study. "Don't get behind." Mr. James cautions.
Here's where the G-Factor enters. "Busting out or flunking by well-prepared, intelligent students is a very big headache to the college and a terrible waste of money, brains, effort, and teaching.
"Obviously, a number of these C-boys find themselves. What is tragic is that failure is the only way to show such a bright boy or girl that college means business."
An additional cause of failure other than lack of study is, according to many college admissions officers, the insistence by families that their children shall do thus and so in college. Often, the student is not fitted to do the life's work his family has chosen.
"On the other hand there is the family, not college trained, which has laudable but often un-realistic hopes for a son or daughter. In many instances these students become discouraged easily, and many of them drop out when they realize that they are not college material."
Another problem of proportion occurs when the student is too interested in too many activities, Mr. Jameson concludes.
"There is an enormous misunderstanding about what college is, what it means to students, what it can do for *students.* Mr. Jameson writes.
