...families are fine-until a hard-pressed father has to pay two or three college tuitions at once. Last week the jolt was eased by the University of Portland (Ore.), a Roman Catholic institution (enrollment: 1,550) which announced an unusual sliding-scale plan for big families. Terms: full $660 tuition for a family's first scholar, $440 for a second in attendance at the same time, $220 for a third-nothing for all thereafter...
...smaller but deeper scale is the new course (tuition: $1,000) at Syracuse University's Maxwell Graduate School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, which is aimed at training U.S. graduate students for foreign jobs with business and Government. Last week Maxwell's current eight students were finishing up three months' intensive study of U.S. society and policy, Italian culture and language. They will soon go to Rome for four more months of living with Italian families and adapting their skills (economics, journalism, forestry) to the country...
...programs at the University of Pittsburgh and Montana State College. Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public and International Affairs runs short courses for foreign-bound executives; it also puts graduate students to work for two or three months in international agencies. Montana's ten graduate students (tuition: $500) are not only sharpening their specialties in the classroom. Next month they will put them to grass-roots work by living among the state's Cheyenne Indians and next winter in a Mexican village. The most ambitious scheme of all is planned by Manhattan's Committee...
...parade their woes, it is time to mention Jean Paul Mather*of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. The maximum salary he can offer a full professor is $8,684; the minimum offered the same man at the neighboring University of Connecticut is $8,100. This summer Massachusetts doubled tuition to $200, planned to use the money to attract sorely needed new teachers. But things do not work that way in the commonwealth of Massachusetts. Last week the state senate voted down Mather's house-approved pay-raise plan. And after five years of thoughtless state control, able President...
Crackpots in the Classroom. Money is "only the beginning of the tale." Academic standards would fall. Tuition-grant schools could not hope to offer quality or variety of courses. Example: Little Rock's recently closed private Raney High School (TIME, Aug. 17), which offered less than 25% as many courses to its segregationist students as did the public Central High School, had no music, art, general mathematics or foreign languages. Nor would a wave of fly-by-night tuition-grant schools (most unaccredited) be subject to responsible supervision; fanatics and crackpots could easily control budgets...
