Faculty Senate report revealing
A recent Faculty Senate report
submitted to all faculty, staff and
board of trustee members, pulled no
punches in the growing problem or
unprepared college students.
Many ot America's colleges are
being raced with a problem of an
influx of ill -prepared students in
their ranks.
San Antonio College Is not immune
to thls problem and perhaps ls even
more susceptible In light of its "open
door" policy.
The Senate report asserts correctly
that attempting to educate unprepared
and unmotivated students
in the same classroom with those
determined to perform on a college
level "results in serving neither as
e1fectively as we are capable or as
well as both deserve.''
ll 1s deplorable that an instructor
be forced to lower academic standards
to cater to the needs of students
incapable or unwilling to perform
college work.
SUch a system is also unfair to the
student forced to submit to such
education on a lower level.
The forced passing of incapable
students can ultimately lead to a
nation or uneducated and unskilled
citizens, not prepared to take their
place as responsible members of society.
The Faculty Senate is to be commeded
tor its report alerting all
concerned faculty and administrators
to the degree or the problem at San
Antonio College.
lnitiallon of a proper testing and
counseltng of entering students advocated
by the Senate would further
Insure that students who will not
profit !rom regular college education
will not be forced to compete on levels
equal to that of those prepared for
college.
No-draft better for all
Amerlc'a young men may enter
adulthood with a more optimistic outlook
If Congress votes to abolish the
military draft.
Much of the campus unrest and
experimentation with drugs by the
nation's young people can be attributed
to an attiblde of "why try,
the dran board controls our future
anyway.''
Those who do try may manage to
stay in school only to find the draft
board waiting for them upon graduation.
All this uncertainty comes at the
time In llfe when young men are
most anxious to plan for an education,
start a family or find a job.
It must be quite a let down for a
draft eligible young man to read the
help wanted ads and find that "only
applicants wl th no mlli tary obligation
need apply."
In a no-drart environment America's
young men would again feel the
enthusiasm for life of one who can
control his own destiny.
Many would freely choose to Join
the armed services for an apportunlty
to mature as a man In the competitive,
adventurous atmosphere of
the military.
Military careerm en are also among
those favoring an all-volunteer force
ror esprit de corps is most apparent
among the men who are there by
choice.
Peer counseling good idea
Students may soon be able to seek
advice from their own counterparts
if a proposal by the Counseling Advisory
Committee goes through. Plans
for a peer counseling program were
discussed at the first meeting of the
committee three weeks ago.
Such a program would be welcomed
by students who feel their questions
too trivial to take to a counselor,
but to a fellow student.
Students might also heed the advice
