Colleges and universities
with highly selective admis
sions policies pick out those
students who are adept at
making high grades and pass
ing examinations. It does not
follow that these students are
the ones destined to achieve
greatness, or to render excep
tional public service, in later
life.

Three plays of love and laughter
directed for NRT by Jack SyJow,
G. Wood and Nina Foch. "Ways and
Means" is a sparkling tale of
professional house guests on the
Riviera. "Stifl Life" is the fragile love
story filmed as "Brief Encounter." .
"Fumed Oak" tells a hilarious tale of a
henpecked husband who flies the coop.

for governor of North Carolina
in 1960. a Carolina professor
made the remark that neither
man was very smart. He had
had both men in one of his
classes, he said, and both
made C's. If intelligence is
defined as the capacity for ef
fective behavior in life rath
er than the capacity to make
high grades it must be ad
mitted that both Sanford and
Gavin have done quite well.
Tests now used for college
admissions purposes do an
adequate job of identifying
students who are good at ab
sorbing knowledge. ' They are
weak in identifying students
who are good at creating new
knowledge. They are practical
ly worthless -in measuring de
termination and persistence.
Even before' the great uni
versities were forced into
stricter admissions standards,
they were out-ranked by the
smaller colleges in producing
great men.
A study was made in 1944
of all males listed in "Ameri
can Men of Science." Colleges
and universities were rated
according to the proportions
of their graduates listed. Only
six of the great universities of
the nation were listed in the .
top 50 most productive institu
tions. Four of the top five
were small liberal arts col
leges. In a later study, educational
institutions were rated accord
ing to the proportion of their
graduates who. received the
Ph.D. degree, graduate fellow
ships, and prizes won in open
competition. Six of the top 10
institutions were small liberal
arts colleges.
. No one can say for sure
just what causes greatness to
sprout and mature most often
in the smaller colleges. Most
likely, a combination of fact
ors is operating. There, the
student is not a number lost in
a crowd.
And he may be, typically a
student who is hungrier for
knowledge and more, deter
mined to amount to something
than his well-heeled counter
part in the greater universi
ties. Whatever it is, the small
liberal arts colleges of the na
tion - have been the breeding
grounds of greatness. Far
1 front- foeing Ihe rejects and the
left-overs, - students now en
rolled in such institutions may
be our hope for the future.
If Joe College climbs atop
the soap box to speak out
against government or uni
versity practices, can he be
sent packing? -
Or snnnnse he celebrates too
much during spring vacation
and ends up "sleeping it off
in a jail cell at some resort.
Is the college within its rights
to give Joe his walking pap
ers? The answer to the f i r s t
question is "no," concludes an
authority on constitutional law
at Duke University. And the
answer is probably the same
to the second.
Freedom of speech and pro
tection from double jeopardy
are constitutional rights which
no college Or high school can
take from a student for the
privilege of seeking an, educa
tion, says Dr. William Van
Alstyne, professor of law at
Duke.
He suggests that our courts
are giving a more sympathe
tic ear to students who have
appealed their dismissals from
colleges or universities.
PEOPLE PROTECTED
The U.S. Constitution pro
tects people from abuses by
the states, and the public
school boards of education are
no exception, he declares.
High school students also have
their constitutional rights, as
those who have participated
in civil rights demonstrations
and have been protected from
reprisals have learned.
Dr. Van Alstyne, whose in
terest in student and college
rights led him to speak out in
the recent North Carolina"
Speaker Ban controversy, in
dicates that college handbooks
may offer little protection if a
dispute with a student finds
its way to the courts.
Boiler plate provisions in
handbooks reserving to the
college the right to dismiss
any student for reasons satis
factory to the college alone
are not likely to endure as a
defense when a dismissed stu
dent seeks judicial review in
a court, Dr. Van Alstyne
warns'. -
Many typical provisions in
the handbook offer no balance.,
in bargaining power, are non
negotiable, in character and,
' are of unconscionable quality, :
he continues. They may so an
tagonize the courts as to op
erate to the disadvantage of
the college, he asserts.
PRESSURE VP
Moreover, there is in
creasing pressure for courts to
review the college-student re
lationship as a fiduciary one
that is, placing the college in
the position of being the trus
tee of the student's welfare.
As a result, many institu
tions may soon find them
selves asking?
How many of our rules were
formulated with the welfare of
the student in mind?
Before they may have asked
how many represent the inter
est of the trustees? The alum
ni? Or simply the loudest and
most aggressive groups in the
outside community?
Of all, the doctrine of uncon
stitutional conditions may be
the most far-reaching in the
campus halls. This doctrine is
used as an answer to the old portunity to enroll in a college merely a privilege rather than
argument that a student's op- is in the eyes of the law a right.
