The Out THE WORLD outside extends beyond the pie-shaped confines of South Carolina; it's more im portant than spring weekends and panty raids; it's peopled with millions of individuals with conflicting ideolpgies-and the world outside moves closer every day with Cuba at our doorstep, socialism in our parlor, and Khrushchev stirring the pots in the kitchen.

A CHALLENGE - but one 1 'hich can be filled by expansion 1 horizons beyond sectionalism < any other "ism." THIS EXPANSION is largely pendent on one of the main I -eedoms-that of the press. I residential assistant press sec -tary Malcolm Kilduff told the < sine college editor audience in i irect contradictory statements: " That the administration is I Indling the news. " That the administration is >t handling the news. WHEN ACCUSED that his fice has been releasing false formation on the Cuban situ. ion, Kilduff asked for a spe fic incident. One editor spoke a battleship which was re rted lost in a tropical storn hen there was no tropica' orm. To which Kilduff re ied, "Your information must incorrect, we have no activr ttleships." TRUE OR FALSE-it seemv case of multiple guess, but this tuation also bears a long and ose look. The look can only be :hieved by a free and unhamp ed press on campus, in the ate, in the nation, and around e world.

Among them li Are: The population boom; the ibility of more families to afford v higher education; and the em- e phasis currently being placed on t< higher education as an arbitrary t] riterion for performance. p Before examining some solu ions to this last point, let's see g vhat some other changes are: colleges and universities are be- ti oming more development-con- li scious.

C. edsoe - Change: nclusion roblems. The pressing problem of high -hool d1rop-outs has prompted abor and allied interests to fi ally take steps in informing eir own rank and file as to the nportance of education. The pectre of automation is causing >me areas of Labor to consider e problem of education beyond overnnent-subsidized Manpower etraining. We have, then, all these di ergent interests attempting to )pc with what may generally rmed "education." In some cases lis interest extends mainly to rimary and secondary schools . . and others, to study on the raduate, or advanced, level. To implement existing educa onal programs business and ibor groups might well consider ieir direct interest in secondary :lucation, and expand their sup ort of these systems. Such pro rams may include aid to facil ies, financial assistance to stu ents and families, and programs C continuing education after the udent leaves (hopefully gradu ted) school. General Motors has a program f work and study on a college vel . . . a program that might emulated by distributive and erchandising concerns. Though le GM program is geared to igineering students, the idea of unbining education with on-the 1h training would have many Ivantages A program that has worked ith some succes:A in California 3serves mention, and that is the ;tablishment of junior colleges a large scale.

( Lest 1e two a foremuentioned (depa rt ents take umbragJI$.e, I speedily ate that thiese basics shouldl t he abolished in four-year dieges, but the requli red cou rses I these two sub.jects seem to ne bane of nmany dlepa rt men ts in rat they siphon offC Lalent that mId just as easily l)e teaching lvaniced cou rses to smaller asses.)
