PAGE EIGHT • 44),Ittur sirs s 11:H& J:** For t`~4 fissions applying to the University for admission within the next few 3 ears, will have a tougher time getting in. On the other hand, it would have been twice as easy for :,ou to gtaduate in 1954 than it is now. According to Robert G. Bernreuter, dean of admissions and regktrar, the quality of ttu dents being admitted )ti getting b( ltt r, NrN hOn the number of student:, being dropped lite, doubled in the last four years. Bernreuter said that as of May I, 95 per cent of the stu dents admitted for next Fall are in the upper two-fifths of their high school graduating classes. Last year. 80 per cent of the fre , Thmen admitted to the main campus were in the upper two fifths of their class. Martin L. Ziegler, assistant di rector of the Research and Eval uation section of the Division of Counseling, said that the increase in the flunk out rate is due to a tendency on the part of the pro fe,ssors to grade harder due to the higher quality students now bcing admitted. Bernreuter placed the blame on the revision of the Univer sity Senate regulations which now make it more difficult for a student to stay in the Uni versity. For the most part, admissions are determined on the basis of statistics with little reference to the human factor. Bernreuter said that any Penn sylvania resident in the upper two-fifths of his high school grad uating class is automatically ad mitted so long as his disciplinary record is satisfactory. He said that these students are sent a "letter of intent" when they apply. This says that the student will be admitted when admissions star t in March. Out of state students or Penn svivma rrcidents not in the up per two-fifths of their class are equired to take either the Uni versitv's aptitude test or the Col lege Entrance Examination Board On the bask of these scores. the student's average is predicted and admissions ate made accord ingly, Because of the stricter re auirements for out of state stu dents, they tend to make better grades and win a "dispropor tionate" number of awards and honors, Bernreuter said. Ile ca id that admissions ate made from out of state so that Pennsylvania residents will not be tinned down when they apply t) colleges and universities out side the state. Bernreuter said there was no attempt to halance Pennsylvania students with those from the other 49 states Ziegler said admissions are $7OO Given to University A gift of $7OO has been made to the University by the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation. The money will be used to sup port research in the testing of fungicides in the department of botany and plant pathology. ler Cuisine 'F'S SUMMER SALAD A MAL FRUIT PLATES ,ASHORE DINNER 'modations for.
