PAGE SIX Advanced Placement Credit Given by Colleges Fer High School Work By ROCHELLE MICHAELS (Thit is the first in a series of articles describing systems of advanced placement—the granting of undergraduate credits to high school seniors upon college. entrance —now used by universities in this country.) t The Advanced Placement Program administered by the College Entrance Examination Boa]rd is presently used by over one-fourth of the nation’s colleges including this uni- versity. THE CEEB STATES thal twelfth grade students can do col lege' freshman work, and that achievement, no matter where or when it occurs, should be recog nized and rewarded.” It further explains that since most students ’can only take one or two college-level subjects in high school, ‘‘they have enriched, rather than accelerated" their col lege education. ' ! High schools must begin the program by offering college courses so that a student is pre pared to pass one or more-of the CEEB tests.' Community; support plays an important role by -pro viding additional school funds for specialized staff and equipment. THE CEEB recommends/, that in selecting students for -the spe cialized courses, emphasis; should be given to “motivation, .-desire, persistence, and a disposition -to, do hard work,” rather than the individual IQ. The board also urges that classes be kept very small. - j Colder Weather Arrives in Area Much colder air from the mid west began filtering into central Pennsylvania yesterday causing the temeprature to fall from the abnormally high readings of re-: cent days. The mercury, which reached the middle 70’s yesterday and Thurs day, fell steadily yesterday .after noon. and last night. A low of 45 degrees was forecast for early to day. The cold front, which marks the leading edge of the cold air from the west, is expected to move only slowly eastward today so clouds and intermittent rain should continue through- the day. A storm may develop on that front this afternoon causing more general and possibly he&yy rain in this area tonight. The local forecast calls for cloudy skies to continue into to morrow. Occasional rain l is likely today and tonight. A high of only 50 degrees is predicted for today,, andia low of 43 is indicated for tonight. To morow's high will be : near 48 degrees. ? peopfe uiftxr ; vote SRIN' ' '4l ! - 1 Travel on BACHELOR PARTY 9 COLLEGE TOURS .
