Education Access Gap Grows As 50,000 Students Could Be Turned Away
A national goal to provide higher education for all faces a harsh shortfall. Preliminary fall enrollment figures from the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges suggest more than 50,000 qualified applicants will be rejected by large institutions next fall. Causes include quotas, housing and classroom space shortages, and a lack of qualified faculty in some fields. The result is many may not pursue further schooling.

Why Nixon Trusts Reds on SALT and ABM Risks
The columnist argues Nixon relies on a risky theory that concessions now will trigger later reciprocity from the Soviets. A year of SALT talks could let the Soviet Union deploy SS-9s and first strike capability, threatening Minutemen and overall deterrence.
