? Zayas' fourteen-year-old son is an added
responsibility which she takes very seriously.
She spends much of her time with him at
meals, studying, and parties if he chooses to
go along. Few undergraduates have had to
undertake the job of full-time parent in ad-
dition to full-time student.
Zayas has other involvements including
'dedicated recruitment of Puerto Ricans to
-come to Harvard. Her work has helped in-
' crease - the numbers of New York Puerto Ri-
cans- from one to twlve (still a deplorable
admissions figure). In the Boston Spanish-
speaking community her application of clini-
cal psychology skills has helped many fami-
lies. Her dynamic input into the Jamaica
Plain Community Mental Health Outreach
Program resulted in several needed revisions.
? In Harvard history, Zayas is unique. She is
special to many who have grown to respect
her disciplined and undaunted approach to
an awesome task. She is loved by those who
know her unrelenting humanitarianism. And
justifiably, I could use more superlatives to
describe her; however, an injustice would be
to portray Zayas as a superhuman individ-
ual. There are thousands of potential Helen
Zayases-4f Harvard and similar institutions
admit them.
In her struggle, Zayas represents many
others: older persons seeking the dignity of
being considered equally with younger peo-
ple; members of oppressed minority groups;
women who have endured sub-human ex-
ploitation; and masses who have experienced
the atrocities of poverty. Her success clearly
shows that given the opportunity and prop-
er guidance, others who, like Helen, might
appear to have "no business applying to a
school like Radcliffe," can make it through
with honors.
-It is imperative for admissions personnel
to understand that the single most impor-
tant factor for determining the ability of
any applicant to complete an academic pro-
gram is character strength. No achievement
surpasses the boldness of wanting to try "the
impossible." No quality is more desirable
than fortitude acquired by surmounting
hardships far greater than the pressure of
xams.

amendment to the Foreign Assistance
Act of 1974 which would in effect destroy
the training program of law enforcement
officers sponsored by the International
Police Academy.
I am referring to Senate amendment
No. 1511 to S. 3894, prohibiting police
training in this country, under the For-
eiSin Assistance Act of 1974 now being
considered by our sister body, the U.S.
Senate.
Notwithstanding the misgivings about
the alleged activities of some of its grad-
uates, the International Police Academy.
LPA, tinder AID has performed some
meaningful contributions toward pro-
jecting our national influence, par-
ticularly in the development of profes-
sional law enforcement officers in de-
veloping countries.
I am also aware of the significant as-
sistance rendered by IPA to our offshore
territories and possessions in the up-
grading of their public safety programs
and personnel. IPA graduates are now
serving as responsible police officials in
American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the
Trust Territory and Guam, and at the
present time two AID police advisers are
assisting the Department of Public
Safety in Guam. It is in the area of train-
ing that IPA has performed an invaluable
service to our territories whose limited
resources would not otherwise permit
the establishment of quality police train-
ing comparable to IPA.
While this attitude may appear to be
local or provincial in outlook that are al-so
the overpowering reasons of national
prestige as well as valuable support to
our foreign policy efforts. Besides the
purely police assistance character of the
International Police Academy, there Is
also the aspect of our national influence
abroad. I cannot think of a better me-
dium through which to protect our in-
fluence abroad than through the officials
of developing nations entrusted with the
protection of life and property of their
respective countries. Moreover, in this
era of international travel and adven-
ture, many of our citizens are visiting
unknown territories, and it is a wise in-
vestment for us to have son* input in
'areas in which our citizenry will most
likely have their initial encounter with
foreigners?the police.
In this respect, international criminal
activity such as hijacking of air carriers,
drug abuse, and terrorism has become a
common problem in the international
community. It is in this area that IPA is
making a substantial contribution to in-
ternational public safety.
In a recent Washington Report of the
American Security Council, dated Au-
gust 20, 1974, Lorin J. Goin, Director of
the Office of Public Safety, stated:
The problem with international Criminality
or terrorism, in this case, is one the solution
for which must be shared by more than one
nation. If the United States has the ability
to assist a foreign nation deal with a prob-
lem, the impact of which rests on the United
States' shoulders also, then the US. should
be prepared to help it.
Mr. Gain in another Washington Re-
port dated August 12, 1974, declared:
Prom its inception, the Office of Public
Safety, or let's refer to It as Police Assistance
Progrtms of Not, United States. have at-
tempted to develop a civil police institution
In foreign countries which are Initiated at
their request. that can be responsive to the
needs or the people for services?services in
the way of protection of life and property,
and the protection of individual freedoms.
The doctrine of Pollee Assistance Programs
has been effecti:e in changing the way the
policentan sees himself. We emphasize that
the policeman becomes an asset to the com-
munity where he executes his responsibility
in ? way that t acceptable to the people.
It IS important to note that the funda-
mental tenet of the Police Academy is to
instill in the trainees a -sense of respect
for individual freedom, duty to the com-
munity, and, above all, that the raison
d'etre of a police organization is to serve
the people and community and not vice
versa.
Th1.15. it is readily apparent, Mr.
Speaker. that the IPA sponsored training
prograni does contribute significantly to
the maintenance of law and order and it
is to our bast national interest that this
program continue and not be Interrupted
by a misguided fear of alleged Police
abases.
In this connection, the rationale or
thrust of the arguments against AID's
Public safety assistance program activi-
ties said for the termination of the IPA
was based on the mistaken belief that the
International Police Academy is engaged
in the training of police officers to over-
throw legally established foreign govern-
ments. Nothing could be farther from
the truth. The fact of the matter, Mr.
Speaker. is that there has never been a
single coup d'etat planned, initiated, or
perpetrated by police organizations. In-
variably, and perhaps ironically, police
organizations are summoned to reestab-
lish law and order only after they have
been presented With a fait accompli.
Thus. the allegation that police depart-
ments are engaged in insurgent activities
against legally constituted governments
is without historic foundation.
The fact that the IPA program is an
effective policy instrument is undeniable.
For it is well known that no country can
be secure, no political organization can
be atabie. and no economic progress can
be achieved in an environment where
law and order does not prevail. It is.pre-
cisely in the area of training those re-
sponsible for the maintenance of law and
order in their country and the respect
for individual rights and responsibility
toward the community that IPA has
made its greatest contribution. The
minimum we can give to IPA is our con-
tinued support and blessings in the inter-
est of our country and its
THE SOARING RATE OF INFLATION
HON. VICTOR V. VEYSEY
or CALITORS IA
IN THE HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, September 12, 1974
Mr. VEYSEY. Mr. Speaker, fo
past few weeks the attention the
Nation has been directed to ring
rate of inflation. Food and gy costa
have skyrocketed. Almost everyone is
aware of the huge increases in these
commodi,ies, but there is another area in
which the increases have been much
greater. According to a recent television
documentary. the cost of a college edu-
cation his been increasing faster than
food or any other single item.
While it may be true that a ?liege
degree has been overemphasized at the
expense t f vocational education, e fact
remains that the middle income amities
that bear the lion's share of the x bur-
den find, themselves the most advan-
taged in :he pursuit of an educ ion for
their chiliren.
In Amarica today, the very ich can
afford to pay the costs, and th children
of the very poor as well as the ery bril-
liant stunent can easily obta financial
aid. Students from middle in me fam-
ilies are viten caught in a squ -ze. Their
parents *mum too much to alify for
financial aid based on need d make
too little to simply absorb t enormous
cost of ea education.
In recognition of this s' tion, the
United Bank of California as adopted
a program which I believe tremen-
dous merit. It could serve a guide for
other firms and corpora that rec-
ognize the need to be lnvo d in making
their con imtmities a bet place to live.
UCB h IS established a olarship and
work-stuiy Program, . It is a pilot
program of educational Id to students
enrolled or the final 2 y rs of education
in a prit ate college or niversity. UCB
will provide each stu t with a half-
tuition scholarship gra , quarter-tuition
loan, anti an offer of rt-time employ-
ment opportunities which living ex-
penses and the rema mg portion of the
tuition can be earn
SWAP represen to my knowledge,
the first .affort on part of any Amer-
ican institution provide a workable
formula ay which e financial aid needs
of middle-income udents can be met.
The work expe nce of the SWAP pro-
gram is tiesigne give each student an
indepth orient on to a full range of
cornmerc_a1 b ng. During the 2-year
term mueh of training received in the
work-stuiy p m will parallel the pro-
gram mile en by bank management
trainees. Fo the completion of the
prograni are no obligations to be
fulfilled by e student.
The p am is operating on a pilot
program for 1974 With three col-
leges, Ma park, Ventura County; Occi-
dental, Angeles: and Stanford Uni-
versity al? Alto; selecting a student to
ar te.
eaker, this program represents a
ig effort on a new frontier. It is
beginning. If the entire business
un ty addresses itself to this prob.
many of the financial barriers to a
ege education will fall by the wayside.
persornaly feel that the directors of the
United California Bank deserve our com-
mendations for this outstanding pro-
gram. Wa concur with their goals, and we
wish them success in this venture. We
hope Mit many other companies that
have prospered under our free enterprise
system till accept the same community
