A new poll highlights
Americans’ conflicted feelings
about affirmative action at col
leges: A majority of those sur
veyed said it benefits society,
but even more said schools
should not admit minorities who
have lower grades than other
qualified candidates.
The finding is part of a com
prehensive survey of American
attitudes toward colleges and
universities being released
Monday by The Chronicle of
Higher Education.
Among other findings, the
survey revealed that more than
80 percent of Americans believe
skyrocketing tuition has made
higher education less affordable
to the middle class. At the same
time, 75 percent believe a col
lege education is “worth the
price.”
The telephone survey of
1,000 adults ages 25 to 65 has a
margin of error of plus or minus
3.1 percentage points.
With the Supreme (
deciding a critical case that
lenges the University
Michigan’s use of race as a fr
tor in admissions, 58 percents!
respondents to the Chroilt
poll said affirmative actionpni
grams benefit society.
But 64 percent of those su

ty students should notbeadm

and test scores didn’t meetl
level of other applicants.

American Council a
Education, expects those c®

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Charlton Heston made his last appears
as president of the National Rifle Association on Saturday, si
onto the stage before a crowd of 4,000 NRA members buttoofe
ble to give a farewell speech.
The actor, diagnosed with symptoms of Alzheimer's disease,Mi
strong enough to raise an 1866 Winchester rifle over his head in:
deliver his trademark line, "From my cold, dead hands."
He received a standing ovation but only spoke three more sen
tences at the annual NRA meeting Saturday.
"Thank you for everything, not only now but for all theyeais
Heston said. "It has been a wonderful run. I'm going to miss yon
Heston, 78, the public voice of the NRA for five years, wasdiii
nosed last year with symptoms of Alzeheimer's, a neurologii
ease that can lead to dementia.
"Alzheimer's is a ravaging disease ... and Mr. Heston is suffeiin
from those effects," said Marion Hammer, who was NRA preside'
before Heston. "There are times, as is to be expected, when heisi 1
as sharp as he would like to be."
