STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Exams. Quizzes Discussed By Ag Hill Council What is an examination? What should be its objectives? How do students feel about the present system of examinations? Students in the College of Agri culture expressed their opinions. last night at the Ag Hill Council meeting. The discussion of tests was first suggested by Dr. Paull M. Althouse, assistant director of ' resident education in agriculture, when he spoke to the council at its last meeting. Most of the students seemed to feel that examinations, includ ing bluebooks, should "give us a chance to apply what we've learned in a course." As one put it, "Exams should be an expression of how much we know." Many felt that present exams stressed "cramming in the facts" and that often they were simply tests of recall. One student objected to having to take Ihree and four bluebooks in one day. "This overload of exams leads to cramming," he said. Members of the council also felt that professors can profit from blueboks because this is a way by which they can judge how well they are getting their sub ject matter across to the class.

"There is no need to be nervous at an inierview It is a chance to see if mutual interest exists be tween student and employer," Donald Cook, head of the Place ment Division, said. Each year about 650 companies interview students at the Univer sity Placement Service in 112 Old Main. The interviewer will consider grades carefully, because they are an indication of what a stu• dent got from his education. Extracurricular activities have more or less weight depending upon the nature of the job in question, for example, a sales job or engineering postion.

Some interviewers may also ask how spare time is used, Cook said. Good faculty evaluations and part-time or summer experience in the student's particular field will be to his advantage, he con tinued. Does the student have a sin cere interest in the work he is being interviewed for? Does he really want to be a part of the company that is interviewing him? These are things that in terviewers watch for very caro -1 fully, he said. Cook listed the following pre 'requisites for students going into interviews: The student should be sure he makes a good first impression. He should be able to talk about him self easily, with poise and self conficlen.:e. He should be neat in every aspect of his appearance. Most of the time salaries will ,not be discussed at the first inter view, Cook said. PAGE FIVE
