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

Because of the stricter re
auirements for out of state stu
dents, they tend to make better
grades and win a "dispropor

honors, Bernreuter said.
