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.

considered during the next legislative
session, would require testing agen
cies to disclose copies of most stan
dardized tests along with a correct
answer sheet and the student’s actual
answer sheet, he said.
“In general, this kind of legislation
is bad for everyone,” Turnbull said.
“The New York testing bill ex
perience proved that out.”
The New York state legislature
passed a truth-in-testing bill in late
1979 after protracted public hearings.
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.

Fraternity holds haunted house for charity
By DANA BRENNAN
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The Alpha Chi Rho fraternity, 425
Locust Lane, will sponsor its fifth annual
Haunted Crow House this week starting
tonight and continuing through Saturday
to benefit Strawberry Fields an
organization which helps retarded
citizens.
In the past, the fraternity has helped
raise money for Multiple Sclerosis and
the American Heart Association. Jim
Keiser, publicity director for the frater
nity said, last year the fraternity raised
$2,500; this year’s goal is to raise $3,000.
Every Halloween Alpha Chi Rho,
nicknamed Crow House, turns its house
into a haven of ghosts, goblins and
ghouls. Besides trying to scare visitors,
the cast of characters will perform
several skits.
Keiser said the house will be complete'
with the usual eerie special effects

“This place is going to be pretty quiet
Sunday. Everybody will be hoarse,”
Reiser said.
Tours of the house lasting about 15
minutes each will be given this weekend.

Visitors will be guided through the
house this year rather than walking
through the house alone as in the past,
Reiser said.
“Last year people were getting lost
and lines got kind of long. This year
we’re trying to make it move smoother,' ’

In many ways, college prepares you to think independently. 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:

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.
