Berlin Wall Opened Again
West Berliners surged into East Berlin
Friday for happy reunions with relatives.
It was only the second time the Communists
have permitted such crossings since they
built the wall three years ago.
The official East German news agency
ADN reported 18,100 West Berliners had
passed through Communist controls by mid
afternoon.
On the first day of last year's Christ
mas visiting period, about 4.000 West Ber
liners went through the wall.
Welcoming scenes Friday were not
quite as dramatic as last year's but there
were many long and tearful embraces.
"It is a terrible shame that even a
single tear has to be shed when relatives
meet, many of whom live only a few mm
utes apart," said a middle-aged man who
was about to pass through the wall to visit
his mother. "If it were not for this dis
gusting thing—" he added and pointed to
the gray concrete wall.
Soviet Accusations Continue
The fall of Nikita Khrushchev can be
gauged to a new Communist picture emerg
ing Friday from the veil of secrecy that
surrounded his ouster. It paints him as
an uncouth, bumbling, egotistical oaf.
This picture was presented by a 40-
page Soviet Communist party document
that blames the former premier and party
boss for virtually everything that went
wrong in the 10 years he ran the Soviet
Union.
The accusations that downed Khrush
chev range from unwise farm and economic
policies through mistakes in allowing the
1962 Cuban missile crisis to develop, from
personal rudeness to Red Chinese leaders
to a vague blame for immorality in Soviet
society.
Johnson Discloses Programs
President Johnson said Friday night
"we will win this election" and "we are
going to raise our sights."
In a speech prepared for a big Demo
cratic rally at the Chicago Stadium, John
son called for "a strong Democratic Con
gress to keep this country moving ahead."
"We are going to see that every Ameri
can child has an equal chance at the fullest
education that a child can use. We have
been educating most of our children, now
we are going to educate those who need
it most."

Goldwater Hits Foreign Policy
Sen. Barry Goldwater played peek-a
boo with time yesterday in the onrushing
close of his quest for the presidency.
He almost met himself before he ar
rived in Las Vegas, Nev., as he crisscrossed
the nation's four time zones, charging Presi
dent Johnson's foreign policy had left "our
great alliances in shambles."
Turkey is gone as an ally, Goldwater
claimed, and blamed its decision to send a
trade mission to Moscow on "Lyndon John
son's unsteady hand on the helm of the ship
of state."
He ticked off other countries, including
France and Britain, that no longer look
wholly to this country, charging "American
prestige has been sinking out of sight."
This is because Johnson is "a presi
dent isolated behind a wall of political am
bition and behind a wall of political hench
men who care nothing for the world."
Glenn Receives Medical OK
Marine Col. John H. Glenn, Jr. got a
clean bill of health Friday from his doctors
something he'd waited nine months to
hear. They said he could even fly an airplane
again.
However, the famed former astronaut
who thrilled the World as America's first
orbiting spaceman still plans to retire from
the Marine Corps "sometime around the
first of the year."
His trouble started last Feb. 26 when
he fell in the bathroom of his Columbus,
Ohio, apartment, struck his head against the
bathtub and injured his inner ear.
The fall forced him to delay his retirement
from the space program and also caused him
to withdraw from the U.S. Senate race in
Ohio.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA
Penn State has been accept
ing college work done in high
Take an
at the
school since 1956, when the
College Board assumed respon
sibility for the program.
College-Level Courses
Secondary schools participate
in advanced placement by of
fering college-level courses in
certain subjects, and the col
leges and universities cooperate
by agreeing to give advanced
placement, credit, or both. At
Penn State applicants who
score three or higher on the
five-point scale are eligible for
advanced standing credit.
The Admissions Office of the
University evaluates the high
school courses for advanced
standing credit. Subjects cov
ered by the Advanced Program
are American history, biology,
chemistry, English, European
history, French, German, Latin,
mathematics, physics, an d
Spanish.
Analysis of Penn State appli
cants shows that the ratio of
men to women is about 50-50,
and that among the subject
areas, English scores were the
most frequently submitted.
About 80 per cent of the ap
plicants had been in the upper
fifth of their high school class
es. It was found that the ad
vanced placement student
earned higher average grades
(2.8) at the University than did
the typical Penn State student
(2.5).
Unfounded Criticism
Stanford has reported no
basis for one criticism recur
rently launched at the ad
vanced placement programs—
that students have difficulty
adjusting to the college rou
tine. He noted that in admis-

sions studies the "typical"
freshman at the University
earns an average of 2.3 his
first year; the freshman with
advanced standing is apt to
earn 2.8. Other colleges have
observed a similar achieve
ment by their Advanced Place
ment Program students.
Advanced Placement enables
students to accelerate, if they
wish, or to take other courses
for which they would not
otherwise have time. The sav
ing of both time and money is
obvious to both the student and
the University.
In terms of cold cash this
means that the 511 credits ob
tained from 1956-1964, by 246
(students, at $22 per credit,
would have a total saving
value of $11,022!
During the first seven years
of the program, which grew
out of two experiments sup
, ported by the Fund for the
lAdvancement of Education, its
(national growth has been rapid.
The first year, 1,229 students
from 104 schools took 2,199 ex
aminations. In May, 1964, 28,-
'874 students from 2,086 high
schools took 37,829 examina
tions.
While only two students sub
mitted test scores to the Ad
missions Office in 1956, the
number now seeking advanced
standing and credit is rather
significant: 122 in 1964, Stan
ford noted. For the entire peri
od of eight years, a total of
462 scores was submitted to
the Admissions Office and 246
met the necessary score of
three or better.

20 Years of Publication
'Ag Hill Breeze'
Highlights Results
By JOYCE McKEEVER
Since the end of World War 11,
the "Ag Hill Breeze", published
by the students of the College of
Agriculture has reported the
passing scene on Ag Hill.
The Breeze, now in its twen
tieth year of continuous publica
tion, is mimeographed twice
each month and distributed to
over 400 agriculture students and
faculty members. Mail boxes in
the Agriculture buildings are
i lprovided for student distribution.
Astaff of 13 writes stories and
stencils for the final memeo
graphed copy. Robert Andrew is
Breeze editor, Mark Nestleroth
and Dennis Buffington serve as
associate editors, Jane Dreis
bach is managing editor and
Betty Poellot is production man
ager.
News coverage includes all
activities of agriculture students,
although the paper highlights
results of Penn State judging
teams in competition, said Nel
son Gotwalt, assistant professor
of agriculture and former ad
visor to the newspaper.
Agriculture-Oriented
The paper is distinctly oriented
to the activities in the College of
Agriculture, Buffington noted.
During the fall term the most
active agriculture students are
those on the judging teams in
livestock, dairy, and horticul
ture, he said.
The Breeze reports in the
winter term on the activities of
agriculture clubs and guest
speakers. In the spring the
Breeze is active in giving cov
erage to the Dairy Exposition,
and the Little International Ex-

The Breeze has, for the past
20 years, been published in
mimeographed form. "With the
College of Agriculture Student
Council allocating some $2OO for
a year of publication," said the
present advisor Elwood Mintz,
"publication costs must be kept
to a minimum." •
College Approval
The Breeze runs from two to
eight pages. Staff members
usually work a week in advance
to have the ~paper sent to the
Associate Dean of the College
for approval and mimeograph
ing.
"The editorial policy of the
paper is almost 100 per cent
concerned with the College of
Agriculture or the ag student,"
noted Gotwalt. Buffington said
better functioning of the college
and a better informed student
were the goals of the editors.
Breeze officers are located on
the third floor of Armsby.
