Hopefuls
Apply For
Fall Term
A total of 23,792 applications
for admission to the Univer
sity for the fall term have
been requested by prospective
students, according to- Robert
G. Bernreuter, dean of admis
sions and registrar.
Of this total, 21,483 requests
were for admission to the fresh
man class, 595 for associate degree
applications and 1714 for ad
vanced standing applications.
Bernreuter said that of the ap
plications mailed out, 13.096 have
been returned—-12,076 from can
didates for the freshman class,
300 from associate degree candi
dates and 663 from students with
advanced standing.
Approximately 4200 freshmen
will be admitted for the fall
term, Bernreuter said. Of these,
he said, 2850 will be men and
1350 women.
The University has offered ad
mission to 3904 students, Bern
reuter said. A total of 2334 men
ar.d 1570 women have been ac
cepted so far. These are the fig
ures for the main campus. A total
of 4386' acceptances were sent out
for all the commonwealth cam
puses including University Park.
Bernreuter estimated that be
tween 250 and 500 freshmen will
be on campus for the summer
term. After the quota for full
admission is reached, the surplus
of accepted students will be giv
en an opportunity to enter the
University for the summer term,
he said.
Freshmen entering in June
who were in the first or second
fifth of their high school class
will not have to take the En
trance College Board scholastic
aptitude test. However, the
examination will be required
for all students entering the
University beginning with the
fall term, Bernreuter explained.
Final freshman enrollment fig
ures for the summer term have
not yet been compiled by the ad
missions office. Bernreuter said.
He explained that summer en
rollment for freshmen will be
limited this year because of the
necessity for new students to par
ticipate in the University's pre
paratory counseling program. The
break between the beginning of
the summer term on June 15 and
the end of the spring semester,
June 6, he said, will not allow
enough time for the counseling
program.

The next admission test for
graduate study in business has

Leonides Feels Effect
OfCommunity Living
With the coming of the community living pi'ogram the
need for Leonides, the independent women’s association, lias
been questioned by council members and administrators.
Dorothy J. Lipp, Dean of Women, has stated that in the
future the services provided by Leonides will be provided
by the community councils. Dean
Lipp felt that in 10 years Leoni
des would no longer exist.
Several independent women
commented recently for the Daily
| Collegian on whether they felt
there was a need for Leonides
and whether it should continue
or disband.
“Leonides is on its way out,”
according to Barbara Phillips,
junior resident counselor in Mc-
Kee. "The emphasis on activities
for the independent woman
should be put within the com
jmunity living area. If each area
ihas women on the community
council, the views and ideas of
the independent woman could be
presented there for consideration,”
she added,
"Leonides should do more
service-wise if they are io re
main a campus organization,"
Mary Lou Fries, junior resident
counselor in McKee, said.
“I don’t know much about Le
onides.” said a sophomore in
counseling from Pittsburgh, “may
be if they were doing more, I
might hear about them. Activities

for the independent woman on a
small scale within the community
instead of campus-wide, would be
best,” she added.
. A junior felt Leonides wasn’t
active or publicized enough. “I
was going, to try to work on a
Leonides committee this year, but
I didn’t know where to sign up
and I couldn’t find anyone who
did know,” she said. “Leonides
is almost useless' now, but the
community councils aren’t doing
much better,” she said.
Beverly Cades, formerly a Le
onides Council member, said
she felt Leonides does serve an
important purpose because it
gives independents a chance to
participate in activities.
“It provides a stepping stone
to other activities,” she said. Miss
Cades also felt that Leonides
should join ISA. “It is not bene
ficial for the group to work alone
since all the independent groups
could accomplish so much more
together,” she said.
