Thumbs Down On Schools
(CPS)—America’s love
affair with its public school
system is over.
Only 13% of American
adults would grade their
local schools “A for excel
lent”—a 30% drop from five
years ago~a recent national
survey conducted by the
Ford Foundation has found.
Many of the adults who
voted thumbs down on
public schools were recent
graduates from the public
school system. Only 6% of
the 18-29 year-olds and 9%
of those who have recently
attended college gave the
schools a top rating, a fact
Eight"
which the survey report
termed a “warning signal” to
schools.
Top on the list of
dissatisfaction was ‘lack of
discipline,’ followed by
‘bussing,’ ‘lack of financial
support,’ ‘poor teachers,’
‘large-sized classes,’ ‘poor
curriculum,’ and ‘crime.’
More than half of those
sampled would like to send
their children to a special
school that maintained tight
discipline, a strict dress
code and emphasized the
three R’s.
The survey report did not
indicate which age group
supported stricter schools.
Commonwealth
Day Planned
Students transferring
from one of Penn State’s
branch campuses to Univer
sity Park will now be able to
observe the main campus’
facilities in advance.
A USG sponsored “Com
monwealth Day” will offer
branch campus students a
chance to “see what the
University looks like and
what it has to offer,”
according to Howard
Olshansky, director of USG’s
Department of Branch Cam
puses.
Olshansky said many
transferring branch campus
students do not realize the
many opportunities for en
richment available at Univer
sity Park. Commonwealth
Day, an extension of the
Ambassador Program, will
expose the students to
programs and activities, he
said.
Olshansky said all
branch campus students will
be invited to University Park
on February 14. That
morning they will hear
presentations from the Or
ganization of Town and
Independent Students, the
Association of Residence
Hall Students and both the
Interfraternity and Panhel
lenic Councils.
That afternoon, tours of
dormitories, apartments and
fraternities will be offered to
assist the student in
choosing living accomo
dations.
Following the tours, the
agenda calls for the students
to meet with representatives
of the University’s colleges
and leaders of various
student organizations.
The day will end with a
concert or jammy,
Olshansky said. He empha
sized that any branch
campus student can attend
Commomwealth Day, which,
if successful, would become
an annual occurance at
University Park.
Bulletin boards are being
organized for your con
venience. To assure the full
utilization of all boards, the
Student Affairs Office has
assigned students to keep
the boards organized. Youi
help is needed!!!
Location of boards- Ride
