SYRIA massed troops near the Lebanese border yesterday, as Palestinian guerrillas continued intermittent artillary attacks against Lebanese positions. Meanwhile, guerrilla chieftain Yasir Arafat arrived in Cairo, which has become the center of mediation efforts in the dispute. Ara- fat was reportedly optimistic that a peaceful settlement of the con- flict could be reached soon. The guerrillas, aided by Syria, have been resisting the Lebanese government's attempts to prevent them from using Lebanon as a base from which to attack targets in Israel. The college said it had refused to commit itself to assigning a sepa- rate dormitory for black coeds- as the demonstrators had demand- ed-because of "both educational and legal reasons."! The agreement was approved by the school's 150 faculty members who issued a statement saying, "While we understand the feelings of some of our black students, wet cannot condone the use of force or the threat of force on thv Vas- sar campus." There are 59 blacks among the 1,600 students at the fashionable school - one of the "sister" schuols to the Ivy League. WASHINGTON ta'? - Bru- tality, indifference and hos- tility of police, courts and prisons are breeding disre- spect for the law and under- mining crime-fighting efforts, the National Commission on Violence said yesterday. Unless expenditures are doubled a n d major reforms undertaken, "The control of violent crime will be a campaign fought with bold words and symbolic gestures, but no real hope for success," t h e commission' said. It recommended spending $5 billion more a year to cure what it called the nation's bleak pic- ture of criminal Justice. Reforms would include a Na- tional Criminal Justice Center to help private - citizen grievance groups work with officials on re- forms, and an Office of Criminal Justice in every city. Police now unfairly catch all the criticism, theycommission said, but Judges and prison of fi- cials also should come under scrutiny of citizen's groups with the power to help reform the sys- tem. "The poor-like the rich-can go to court," but rarely have the money, and courts too often favor landlords and merchants against complaining tenants and custo- mers, the commission said. The cadses of alienation and lawlessness include landlords who charge exorbitant rents, racial block-busting that takes advan* tage of both buyer and seller, un- scrupulous merchants - and a legal system that too often lets them getaway with it, the com, Imission said. It said there should be more such aid as the Office of Economic Opportunity's program of legal services to the poor.

You do have a multiple obligation to the state." At the same time, faculty mem- bers and administrators are con- templating the possible effects on the University of admitting more "high risk" students. And withI standards for most applicants be- coining increasingly competitive, some are fearful that the student' body may ultimately be composed of two very different sub-groups, one extremely well-prepared for rrndersj academic work and the other struggling through school because of a disadvantaged background. "This is a worrisome point for the future," says chemistry Prof. Adon Gordus, a member of the admissions committee, who sees the possibility of having "two very distinct groups" of students on campus. Others, however, are less wor- ried about this question. V i c e President Smith agrees that the lapping between the two groups. The ultimate solution to the problem of whom to admit to the literary college will depend on a combination of factors--the polit- ical and pragmatic limitations of the University of the future and the philosophical view of admis- sions eventually accepted by mem- bers of the University community Most University officials agree that some growth in enrollment- although not presently possible-' 'This, he says, would include in- creases in high school and stand- ard test performance.

Other schools in the state, he says, would also have homogeneous stu- dent populations, but each would be on a different level. would be equalized and students of all calibers would be rather rand- omly scattered throughout the sys- tem. The student body of each school would be heterogeneous- covering the wide range of abilities represented in the state system as a whole. If the student bodies were made heterogeneous, Kaplan argues, stu- dents would be exposed to more different kinds of people and thus receive a more balanced education. °uture admission policy :j , ,E i problem may exist, but suggests will gradually take place.
