kBlac Academically Sound service, ^ "While many colleges experi mented with unstructured approach es to education in the late ’60s and ‘70s, it appears most black colleges stuck with a traditional approach, which is what the majority of today's serious-minded students say they want." COLLEGE FIND has built a base of facts and figures on col leges and universities from all across the country, including 88 schools who responded out of the approximately 100 predominantly black schools in the U.S. gftAcfeT Real Estate Fraternity Helps Students Launch Careers Greensboro -Twice a month, a dedicated group of A*T State Uni versity students gather in a room in Merrick Hall, trying to learn how best to operate successfully in the ^nation’s lucrative real estate field. ~ The students are members of the *$Rho Epsilon National Professional Hleal Estate Fraternity, the first Qwch chapter to be organized on a Smistorically black campus.

Another interesting statistic shows that 28 percent of the schools have a student faculty ratio of 15 to one, which is very favorable, she said. > . “The social conservatism of black schools is indicated in a number of ways," Vandenbark said, “includ ing the fact that 45 percent are affiliated with a religious group or receive support from a religious organization. “We’ve also found that 44 per cent require students to live on campus at least for their first year, 71 percent have no coeducational dormitories and 75 percent don’t allow drinking on campus.” The affordability of black schools is borne out by the fact that COLLEGE FIND found only one percent of the black schools costing between $7,100 and $8,0p0 a year, and 27 percent are in the $3,800 to $4,500 annual cost range. There may be some black schools above the $8,000 level, but our survey found all below that level, with the majority between $3,800 and $6,100,” she added. Also making black schools highly accessible are relatively low ad mission requirements. Statistics show that of the schools responding 84 percent of the most recent fresh man class had an SAT score below 900 and 82 percent of the schools have programs for the educationally disadvantaged. “Black schools apparently are working hard to make an education not only affordable, but also aca demically available,” Vandenbark emphasized. COLLEGE FIND is a national college selection service headquart ered in Chapel Hill, NC. The ser vice allows students to rate more than 500 factors concerning the type of college or university they wish to attend. COLLEGE FIND compares the student’s preferences to its data base of colleges and provides a Top Ten List of schools that come closest to meeting the student’s needs.

Soilless Mixes For House Plants Plants, like humans, survive and thrive when receiving a well regulated supply of food, water, light and care, say staff members at the N.C. Botanical Garden of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Their food comes from a planting mix that should contain a combina tion of components similar to those found in the plant's native soil. While a soilless planting medium, several components can be adjusted to control the plant’s living situa tion. Such media are sterile and free of weed seeds and troublesome fungi. Since common house plants fall into farily definite soil groups, a soilless mixture can be adapted to suit the plant being repotted or transplanted. The simplest way to pot a house plant is with a commercial mix of shredded sphagnum, fine vermicu lite and nutrients, sold under such tJ&hfr -tit " , — brand names as Jiffy-mix. Two other materials needed for blending with the commercial mix are coarse perlite, for lightening the soil and contributing to better drainage ; especially when using plastic pots, and coarse sand, available from building supply dealers or gar den shops. For plants such as geraniums, equal volumes of the commercial mix, perlite and sand provide an excellent three-part medium. With plants like anthurium and dief fenbachia grown for foilage, more water-holding capacity is needed. Equal volumes of the mixture and peatmoss work well. With desert plants like cacti and succulents, the commercial mix should be cut in half. Some plants that flourish by add ing leaf mold to the three-part mixture are African violets, phi lodendrons, bromeliads and ferns. Robert E Mi* Marine CpI.
