Academics Stiffen Students Complain College students are complain ing that stiff academic loads are mining them into robots, reports Prof. Flank Krutzke of Colorado College who spent the past year examining freshman English programs on leading campu.se.throughout the country It was the result of a study financed through a grant from the Danforth Foundation. In a report delivered at the annual faculty fall couim Professor Krutzke pointed to the "dangers of excellence." He said "students seem to think they are overworked especially at the best colleges. I am beginning to agree with tin• itudfBtl Sum of the course assignments seem too hard. The piOfimnri want a lot these days and they want it done thoroughly." Professor Kurtzke felt that if courses are to be required during the freshman year they must be especially imaginative and well planned. "I did not find tills was the case, In said "Many of the required freshman courses were dull. One of I In problems Is lack of knowledge by college teachers about what the students have bMO m to in high school There is no easy solution, but more of the colleges are working on the problem." The purpose of Professor Krutzke's year-long study was to analyze the teaching of college freshman English. He found exposition was the most common approach, but that there appeal's to be a shift to the rhetoric and humanities approaches. He found that tin er colleges are using rhetoric. There is a strong indication that other colleges also are Interested, he reported. The humanities approach is the most difficult to get started. Professor Krutzks said, since It
involves several disciplines. "There Is a good chance that it will become more popular." he added, "since five or six of the OODefai I visited now have it under consideration." "Despite the goal ot small classes. I found that freshman English classes still are larger lhan ihey should be," Professor Krutzke reported. They averaged 25 students per class Some colleges have as many as 35. He said that at the liberal arts colleges visited, freshman English is being taught by all members of the department, not Just the junior men. "On the whole, teaching in the liberal arts college Is good," Professor Krutzke said. But he did find an air of smugness on some campuses. Most professors disagree with students' claim that they are now so overloaded with assignments that they are becoming robots, •Of Krutzke reported

Depending on your current academic standing, you'll either be heartened or sobered by a discovery revealed in the November Reader's Digest. It is that in a study of 17.000 men working for a leading industrial company, success in college was the most reliable indicator of success in a career. The company that made the study is one of the nation's largest, American Telephone and Telegraph Oo In the Digest u tide A. T. & T. Board Chairman Frederick R. Kappel says that of the men hi the top third of their classes at college, 45 per cent were also in the topsalaried third of the company. At the other end of the scale 40 percent of those in the lowest third of their schools were also in the lowest third in salary. Kappel says that although the quality of the college makes some difference, it is less of a difference than the quality of the man. That is, top students from average colleges were more successful than average students from top colleges. Another discovery made in the survey was that extracurricular activities in college bore little relationship to career success. "It is only real campus achievement that seems to have significance," says Kappel. "Mere participation in extracurricular goings-on does not." The significance of these findings is apparent. "More and more," says the telephone company chief, "these statistical guidelines dispose us to look within the top half of the college class for the individuals to whom we will offer career opportunities." While there are exceptions, "nevertheless we must be concerned with relative probablll ty." Kappel writes. "When vou
