when i was an undergraduate, that was not yet apparent to me. i was kind of a late bloomer. did not know i was going to be a musician until i was 23. i mean, i had been a musician my whole life, but in terms of making it my life path. gayle: you didn't know it would be your job. your life. vijay: so, that is why i have that sense of -- i feel like i can relate to some of those students who might be in that same predicament, who don't really know it is available to them yet. part of what i do is just ask them what if? what if you were going to be an artist, what would that mean for you? part of what it means is to think about yourself in relation to others, not in the sense of status, but service. what are you really doing for others? gayle: you are helping them discover -- so many times in college, you are just trying to figure it out. a lot of us don't really know what the hell we are doing in college. vijay: or ever. [laughter] gayle: yeah. vijay: the way i do that is not by saying go for it, fly and be free. but, really have them rigorously examine the history of the musi

adult women were the driving force to change the whole complexion of undergraduate education. in america women's colleges were in the for front. the college of row can she will in new york, small women's college, six campuses with thousands of students serving the greater new york area. that was the model we used when we diversified at trinity. you have to become like a small university. that's what happened to us. you have to get beyond the liberal reports and into the disciplines that show the students the bridge between work life and college. if you don't show the bennett to life long earnings, students will shy away from liberal arts. you have to connect it to criminal justice or psychologist or nursing and health care. that's what modern women's colleges and liberal arts colleges are doing that. that's the wave of the future. >> before we close there may be parents watching or college age or aspire college age people watching. give me the elevated pitch for a woman's college. you're talking to rising senior, or someone who's just starting the search. you say listen to me,

no alcohol less than 25 to 30% of the undergraduate membership can illegally school alcohol. it doesn't seem logical to school alcohol. >> gentry, you have been on every point in the spectrum here from being a fraternity member yourself to being in some of the largest national organizations having to do with greek life in america. who enforces social norms in the house, if i'm a 19-year-old, am i gs going to listen to my brothers or some old fud university member when it comes to laying down the law? >> absolutely. the social norms are incredibly powerful and i think thing that makes the fraternity so unique and i ask this question to national fraternity executives like bob and to campus administrators, name knee one other social institution in the world where 19, 20, 21-year-old young men have absolute power of their 18-year-old new members their pledges? the only other institution i've come up with is the american fraternity. the members doing hazing, the active members the juniors and seniors in the house have absolute authority over those freshmen members who gets to bid,

i can actually kind of relate because i was an undergraduate at yale and i didn't know it was possible to be an artist in america. >> you got your degree in yale at mathematics and physic. >> yes, that was a long time ago what i might do as one path that was open to me. >> is there a connection between math and music. >> i mean i don't think of it as a clear connection but i've noticed that even among my students now.pxuj my under graduates especially, i mean there are a lot of different kinds like i said but there is a sort of cluster for whatever reason the young man in particular majoring in physics or applied math or something like that and are just super excellent. but then you know they haven't really reconciled it themselves and i was in that category as an undergraduate but i wasn't super excellent. i was sort of so owe. i was figuring it out. >> i can't imagine you were sow at anything. i'm not kidding, you're playing the violin at three by ear. the piano you're learning that by ear. you were never a so-so kid. >> being allowed to and e braced and i'm couraged to do that.,y$ w

including a fair number of undergraduates. i'm gratified to see so many undergraduates because i think these issues in particular, well it used to get discussed in many places through the cold war, at the end there was a tendency to not talk about these issues. the conversations we have now are long overdue. it is the first time i have visited smu. it is a very beautiful campus. i walked around today. i wish i could spend more time here. i promise i will come back at some point and walk around and get to see some of the things you guys have told me about. i'm pleased to be on stage with the professor. i'm fascinated by his review of the u.s. arsenal and the questions that he posed and the puzzles that he talked about are spot on. the a very interesting conversations and necessary. i might yield a little bit of a bucket of cold water myself because i will speak with a little more certainty but i will say i think he raises fair points about how certain we can be about some of our tried and true assumptions related to nuclear wae

where was your undergraduate degree?> guest: my undergraduate degree was from smith college i went to medical school at cornell. so that ted med i had been at harvard for 25 years by then. c-span: let's watch an excerpt. >> guest: we have the connections between the paradox is that while they are learning really fast the connections between different brain regions are not as fast as the adult and here's an example showing how the brain connects up over the life. you can see on the left that the blue areas of our connected parts of the brain and you can see that it's going from the back to the front so the back of the brain which is at the bottom of the slide goes to the frontal lobes which is the last to connect to what he think the frontal lobes to? they are the seat of our inside judgment and impulse control. need i say more? this process is not done until 20 and look there on the bottom at age 20 there are a couple of green spots still and males actually are two to three years behind females. so that might've been a m

private liberal arts college can stay just a small private liberal arts college if all you do is undergraduate lib cal arts education. you said young students. in fact many of these thriving institutions today have a very healthy adult education and a traditional age population. adult women were the driving force to change the whole complexion of women's colleges in america. that was a model we used when we diversed in trinity. you have to go into the disciplines that will show the students the bridge between liberal learning and work life. if you don't show them how they're going to pay for it in their life long learning they're going to shy away from liberal arts and i love liberal arts. but you also have to connect it to things like criminal justice or psychology or nursing and healthcare and that's what modern women's colleges and growthful liberal arts colleges are doing that. that's the wave of the future. >> before we close, there are parents watches or maybe college-age people watching. give me the elevator pitch for a women's college. you're talking to a rising senior or someone just

they have 219 chapters 15,000 undergraduate members. since 2006 nine people have died in events related to sae. do we have to rethink the way some fraternities conduct themselves on campus? >> the vast majority conduct themselves very very well and contribute to their university communities, but where we have places where racism is part of the culture, we have to challenge that. where we have places where there is binge drinking, that is unacceptable. where you have culture that is permissive around rape that's unacceptable. we don't want to paint everybody with the same brush. but where you have people with real challenges, you have to take all of these, whether it is racism sexism or abuse of alcohol or drugs, none of us as parents want our children to be a part of that environment and we have to deal with that openly and honestly. >> as we talk about the problems facing undergraduates and graduates, debt is one of those big issues. >> it is so important that young people who borrow money to go to college that they be treated well. we

the average undergraduate bars to pay for college into graduating with about $20,000 in student loan debt. that is why my administration is worked hard to make college more affordable. we expanded tax credits and tell grants and after largest reform to student loan programs in history, and fought to keep interest rates on student loans low. we acted to let millions of graduates cap loan payments at 10% of their income so they don't have to choose between paying the rent and paying that debt. i sent congress my plan to bring the cost of community college down to zero because two years of higher education should be as free and universal as high school is today. but all of us, elected officials, universities, business leaders everybody needs to do more to bring down college costs which is why this week, i unveiled another way we can help more americans afford college. it is not involve new spending or bureaucracy. it is a simple declaration of values, what i call a student aid bill of rights. it says every student deserves access to quality, affordable education. every student should be
