SELECTIVE GRADING

I f you read the Sept. 30 edition of U.S. News and World Report, you no doubt winced when you saw KU in the bottom half of the nation's top 200 public universities. Take heart. The magazine rates KU 28th among public institutions in academics-the most important category. It was another ranking factor-selectivity—that sunk KU's grade. Under the state's open-admissions policy, the University accepts any graduate of a Kansas high school. So KU flunked an entire section of the magazine's test. On the multiple-choice admissions questions, KU has to say "all of the above."

on Sundays when businesses are closed, for example, less water is released, making less electricity. It takes a little more than a day for water to get from the dam to where we are now, about 100 miles down- stream, so the lessened flow takes a while to show up. Flow rates are a contentious subject here. Until a few months ago, the people operating the dam could release any amount of water they wanted. The resulting changes in flow, especially when lots of water was released suddenly, were tough on the canyon, tearing up sandbars and increasing erosion. Now the dam controllers can release only cer- tain amounts of water. And they have to make changes gradually. Still, there's something unnatural about the way the water level goes up and down, even this far away. Flow is hardly the canyon's only environmental issue. There's the question of haze, much of it blamed on the coal-fired Navajo Cenerating Station near Glen Canyon, though it's probably also related to smog from as far away as LA. Regulators recently negotiated a settle- ment to add scrubbers to the plant's stacks. The Colorado is like a series of stair steps: long stretches of quiet water followed by steep drops at the rapids. Camp tonight is in a quiet spot.

"In every case where the parent...showed evi- dence of fear or panic, the children reacted in a similar manner, usually to an exaggerat- ed degree," he wrote in the April 1942 American Journal of Orthopsychiatry. After Pearl Harbor, blackouts and air raids became part of conversation even for preschool children. "It has become com- monplace for 4-year-olds," reported Dr. Solomon, "to tell their daddies to hurry home so they will not be caught in the blackout. Even our 2-year-old asks for a blackout with his supper." Writing in the spring 1942, Solomon would not predict the long-term effects of the blackouts, but he did express hope that U.S. cities would not become "laboratories for investigation of the real perils of war."

The government tried to prepare children and parents for drills with pamphlets offer- ing supposedly helpful hints. In early 1942 the American Committee on Maternal Welfare discouraged talk of raids in front of children, no matter how young. All advice concerning babies was direct- ed at the mothers.
