The University of Houston is one of four American schools selected to test the effectiveness of England's "open university" concept, a program that boosted the nation's college populations by 40 percent in a few years. Director of UH's program is Dr. Laurie Zwicky, professor of English, who says such a program can educate thousands who might never get a higher education otherwise, and do it at a saving of millions of dollars.
