-The Daily Collegian Thursday Oct. 30, 1980 Former ETS official opposes legislation By JOE GRACE Daily Collegian Staff Writer The truth-in-testing legislation be ing considered in Pennsylvania and other states is “bad,” and would eventually cause a rise in test costs, said the former president of the Educational Testing Service. “The consumer will get the bill eventually for all these test disclosures,” said William W. Turn bull, who resigned Friday from the $96,000-a-year post he held since 1970 to work more actively in test development. Turnbull said his administrative responsibilities as president of ETS hindered his testing research. “I haven’t had a chance to work in testing research as much as I’d like,” Turnbull said. “I want to work for the development of tests that don’t just test standard knowledge, but rather help measure people’s talents and abilities.” The $lOO million testing service, which administers the Scholastic Ap titude Test, Law School Admissions Test and Graduate Record Examina tions Test, among others, opposes the controversial truth-in-testing legisla tion currently being considered in 20 states.

Turnbull said many testing programs there have had to be discontinued because of the increased costs of test production. “The idea that all test content must be disclosed immediately resulted in the cutting out of many New York tests,” Turnbull said. “They were being forced to create test forms for some specialized tests, like the GRE, many times a year. It was just too difficult, and too high a volume of information was being given away.” Specialized achievement tests and certain graduate tests were later ex cluded in an amendment to the New York bill. Pennsylvania’s proposed legislation contains similar test exemptions.

That's a great quality for an engineer to have. But just as important is the ability to work effectively on a team. We've found that the results of team work are much, much greater than the sum of the parts. That’s why Fluor, one of the country's largest and leading engineer ing and construction firms, is organized totally around the team concept. As a new engineer you'll be assigned to a project that matches your abilities and interests. You’ll stay with the project from start to finish, all the while developing new skills and polishing your ability to contribute as a task force member. We think the approach makes you more capable of independent creativity, not less. At the same time you’re in the perfect position to learn from more experi enced professionals who come from many disciplines. For the new graduate in particular, that is a productive place to be. So if you're thinking about your potential in the job market, why not think about doubling it? Let us tell you more about the Fluor team and about the great salary, full benefits and advancement po tential that make us a top Fortune 500 company: We will be inter viewing on campus Friday, November 7, 1980 for the following disciplines: For more details, contact your placement office mmMmmwmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwsaF he said. The Haunted Crow House has become a popular Halloween tradition among University students, said Dave Ritz miller (7th-electrical engineering) who has gone through the house the past two years. “It’s run very well; they keep it very orderly. A lot of people from the com munity came not just students,” Ritz miller said. Most students who have taken the tour said that it was, indeed, very scary. ; Marg Suarez (4th-business) said,“l thought it was great. I was really scared. You think your friend is next to you ;but it’s someone else. Every horror movie ever made is packed into that house.” The tours will start at 7:30 each night. The cost of the tour is $1 for adults and 50 cents for children 14 years of age and under. POTENTIAL!
