LUSSIAN ECONOMICS
LECTURE FRIDAY HITE
Dr. Jan S. Prybyla, associate
professor of economics at the
Pennsylvania State University,
will speak at the Hazleton Campus
of the University on Friday,
May 3, on “Economic Life in the
Soviet Union.”
His lecture, scheduled for 8 p. m.
in The Student Union Bldg, is one
of the Faculty Artists’ Series ar
ranged by the University.
Social Security numbers will re-
place student numbers on Univer
sity records of students this
Spring, according to Robert G,
Bernreuter, dean of admissions.
Bernreuter said that an interim
period will be necessary when both
new and old numbers will be used
to avoid issuing new identification
cards to upperclassmen. The. reg
istrar’s records, however, will note
social security number, he said.
Any student who does not have
a social security number at the
time of Spring term registration
has to apply for one immediately,
or his registration will be can
celed.
“The new system will be valu
able to both the student and the
University,” Bernreuter said.
“The majority of students work
during or after their college
careers anyway, so this will be a
convenience to them.”
Bernreuter also said that the
University wants to get away
from using its own unique system
and employ one that will help it
in other ways than student iden
tification.
“We are trying to demonstrate
to the College Entrance Exami
nation Board that universities like
ours will use a common number
such as a social security one for
student identification. They might
then consider reporting the social
security number with the student’s
Scholastic Aptitude Test Scores,”
he said.
If the CEEB consents, this
would avoid hiring extra Univer
sity clerks to match applications
and test scores which come in sep
arately to the dean of admissions
office. Machines could be used for
the matching process to complete
it more quickly.
Another reason Bernreuter gave
for the change is that more and
more duplicate names are appear
ing on University records. When
an employer writes requesting a
student’s college history, he does
not know the student’s former ma
triculation number to aid in iden
tifying him. A common number
like the Social Security one would
help avoid mistakes.
