LONDON Thi i a further chanter in the tough livk story of Friday Night Fred, who received 249 lead pelleu in the posterior a year ago as he was leaving a hou-- e in an English residential tow n. The injuries inflicted in this undignified way caused Fred to spend two weeks in hospital, wheieafter he was sentenced to six years imprisonment for burglary. In tact the police had sought Friday Night Fred, who operated on Friday nights and thus gained the name, fruitlessly for 10 years. He asked for 679 offenses to be taken into account when he received his global sentence. Shotgun Justice On thl ill fated night a year ago Fred was caught CulJ at die a.t by a town re. ident, who did what the police had been unable to do. He got out his shotgun and let Fred have it as Fred was making a hasty exit through the gate. For this the resident was fined 15 ($12). as the law pi escribes that it is illegal to shoot a burglar retreating.

University of Southern California Dear Dr. Nason: I am a junior in high school. I would like to know if you have to get a score of 800 on your collets boards In order to get a scholarship. Also, how many years of a science do most ft J colleges require? I am asking you this be-cause I am not 4 going to take phys- - i J E-ics next year. An- J other question is, will not taking physics affect my rank in class? I want to major in history. Do you think I am making a mistake not to take physics? T.Z., Lehigh Valley, Pa. f W'7K Answer: The entrance requirements vary greatly from college to college. It would be impossible to give you a general answer regarding the subjects you must take. If your school counselor or principal cannot help you with your problem. I would suggest you write directly to the colleges that you might attend, asking for a catalog. Your school library or public library may have these catalogs. Your question regarding class-ran- k can be answered specifically. It is based on grade-poiaverages rather than particular subjects chosen by the student. You are wise to be concerned about the problem before the start of your senior year. Choosing the right subjects for the college you may attend is too important to permit guesswork. he was guilty of maliciously wounding Fred. Now Fred, though serving time for conviction on the burglary charges, has the right to appeal for damages and so his case was brought before the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board.

Until I read your column, I wondered at the possibilities of there being much of a market for such skills, other than conventional kindergarten school environment. During her senior year, my daughter has done much work in a laboratory situation, observing youngsters, working with them and doing case studies. Can you tell me if there is any central clearing house to which a person trained in child development might apply for a position? There hasnt been any evidence of recruiting for this speciality at my daughters school. T.E., Hampton, Va. Answer: The education of the very young is in the forefront of thinking and planning throughout the country. and others are Programs are being developed at the national, state and local levels. Child care programs are being established at more and more colleges, both to provide opportunity for married students wives to attend some classes, but also to provide opportunities in the observation of child development. Your daughters teachers are undoubtedly aware of the programs in your area and would be the best source of information regarding employment on her graduation. Let your daughter take the initiative in this endeavor. Prospective employers are not impressed by the efforts of parents to secure positions for their sons or daughters. report. Fred's conduct, the board says, and way of life make it inappropriate that he should be granted any compensation." We must simply leave it that way, though Fred is an unfortunate man, for the board made 1,260 awards during a three-mont-h peiiod and ordered compensation amounting to L352.098 ($845,035). In one case a Norwegian seaman was awarded L1750 ($4,200) because he was knocked down in Liverpool by an empty taxi and suffered a broken leg. It appears a couple of drunks released the handbrake of the taxi, which was parked on a sloping street. Mots 'e Worth? ' . Aik ot tns attitude now explained aie Mr. Kraft in the fascinating study of American universities conducted t by Dr. Harold Hudgkinxon for the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education here in Berkeley. The starting point of the study is the ihversit, that used to characterize hgber education in this country. Throughout the svstem exists in American higher education and pervades all colleges and universities. This monolithic Mdtus svstem has a marked effect on the student body at most universities. The signals that come down from the great cosmopolitan graduate schools have led to a tremendous drop in the racial and religious barriers that used to limit the higher edrcationul opportunities for Jews, blacks, browns, and other minority' groups. "The most widespread change," Hodgkinson reports in his survey, "was the increased heterogeneity in the ethnic composition of the student body." But the sympathies generated in tue South, the Midwest, and the West thousands of institutions w ere set up to build provincial elite, vaccinated with local spirit and religion against the viruses distilled by the sophisticated Eastern Ba nylons. College graduates, as a result, tended to differ widely from region to region. They had ties with local people and local institutions. They had roots. Grad School Domination old-tim- e But in the past two decades, professional and graduate schools have become the dominant feature of higher education. Colleges exist not to turn out local gens on the route to try, but as higher learning. The standards of the of biggest and best graduate schools Berkeley, Harvard, Columbia, Chicago, and Michigan have come to dominate the whole svstem. The domination of these few centers has as a first consequence the elimination of diversity among colleges. Dr. llodgkinson found only slight regional differences in a wide variety of educational categories including student body composition, faculty attitudes, teaching effectiveness, and administrative methods. Refute Assumption "The data," Dr. Hodgkinson observed, "refute the commonly held assumption that there are major differences in educational institutions in different sections of the country the monolithic status Just Try low income w Bv Bennett Cert Near the end of World War II. a transport struck a mine and obviously was about to sink. The captain assembled the crew on the rapidly unmerging deck and inquired dubiously, "Can any of you lunkheads sing a hymn?" When there was nary a response, he tried, "Well, can anyone think of a prayer?" Silence reigned" again. "Damn it," grunted the disgusted captain. "Weve got to do something religious. Hell, lets take up a collection." A stubborn theatrical producer, undeterred by the fact that his new comedy had been panned unmercifully in Boston and Philadelphia, determined to open it on Broadway. (It ran there for exacly four performances.) The day before it opened in New York, the producer asked the press agent, "What do you think I should wear for the premiere?" The unfeeling but prophetic agent answered, "Your track suit. Remember Fibber McGee? One of his sure-fir- e stories concerned the hillbilly wife whose consuming passion was jealousy of her virile husband. In an attic one day she came across the first mirror she had ever looked into. She gave a yelp, reached for her rolling pin, and muttered, "So thats the ugly old hag hes been running around with! Wait till I get my hands on her and him!" lutes. puts it: "Institutions appear to be more racially open than m the past, but they have become less ojien to social classes than they have to races a black middle-clas- s male may have a better chance of getting into a college or university than would a lower-dax- s person of any race . . . higher education ix fundamentally a middle-clas-s institution that has little dedication to those who are simply poor and do not represent any minority particular group.

That is one reason for the hostility to all kinds of superiority and auwhether at the university, in thority the society, or the government. At the same time, there is no great concern for the economic problem of getting along. That is one reason why there is so much contempt among the elite for those who have to grub for a livwhites in the mainly ing jobs. Finally, the students have a burgeoning sense of exuberant strength. Not only do they think they are right morally, but they keep encountering their ow n likenesses all over the country. They have the illusion of great numbers and of power. Elite Is Set Apart e blue-coll- In fact, the American elite is probably weaker now than at any time iu the past. Jt is aligned with unloved minority groups. It has lost the camouflage that came with being the champions of local in particinterests. The ular are out In the open as never before. They are marked men, set apart from others. Unless the students restrain themselves, unless they curb their exuberantly different life style, they are going to find out the hard way what it is like to be a visible elite in what is basically an egalitarian country. college-educate- On another subject entirely, we have had a report on answers given by college students to questions asking what they thought people in active life were worth In salary. They valued a general at L26 ($60) a week, but an air vice marshal at L30 ($72). They would give a police sergeant ihe same salary as a general. A newspaper reporter would be worth a mere L20 ($48), but a university principal ought to drag down a whopping L40 ($96). Finally, there is an Interesting development in the political field. The Labor paity, which was defeated in the June elections largely due to housewives voting for the Tories, is getting ready for its annual meeting in September. This meeting is to consider various proposals for giving Labor a greater mass backing, and one proposal to come before it is that every housewife in the country would be given a weekly wage by the state. The housewives rebelled in the last elections, when Labor was seeking to remain in government, because of rising prices of food and other household necessities. Dr. T. R.
