Du Pont Cites
Instruments'
Progress Role
If present gains in education,
leisure and living stanards are 'to
continue as they have in the past,
production will have to double per
worker in 20 years, a prpmtinent
businessman told the annual con-
vention of the Instrument Society
of America in Philadelphia re-
cently.
"Each employed person today is
supporting himself plus two other
persons," Henry B. du Pont of
the DI Pont Company said.
If the present rate of gain con-
tinues each person will consume.
the production now taken by two
people, he continued.
Thus by 1978 each employed
worker. will- have to produce
enough for four others at current
levels plus his own doubled con-
sumption.
Modern instrumentation pro-
cesses will have to play a key role
in such production, du Pont con-
cluded, since enough additional
manpower will probably not be
available.
"Instrumentation, as we know
it today,". he noted, "represents
no monster to be feared from the
the social viewpoint--it signifies
job opportunity."
codes at the Thursday afternoon
consultation, Fred A. Mammel,

GAINESVILLE, Fla. --- Univer-
sity of Florida tighter admissions
policies have resulted in an in-
creased level of general ability
among freshmen, John V. Mc-
Quitty, Florida University's ex-
aminer, said.
Results of the American Coun-
cil of Education (ACE) Psycholo-
gical Examination indicates that
freshmen scores have risen con-
stantly for the past eight years.
McQuitty's figures show a rise
from an average. score of 99.0 in
1950 to an average of 108.4 last
semester.
In two years the average has
risen 4.2 since the selective admis-
sions policy went into effect in
the fall of 1956. Beginning stu-
dents are now required to score
in the upper 60 per cent of their
high school class on placement
tests.
"Prospective stuaents with abil-
ity and background entirely in-
adequate to handle college level
work are now denied admission,"
he said. "Those with questionable
ability and background are frank-
ly told that the likelihood of suc-
cess is remote."
Comparing the ACE scores with
those of the freshman placement
tests, McQuitty said the average
of 104 compares with 70 on the
placement tests. "This means," he
continued, "that to be equal to
the University of Florida average
of 108, a high school senior would
have to average 75 on the five
placement tests." Therefore to be
above the average there, the pros-
pective freshman must be in the
highest quarter on the high school
examinations.
ORONGO, Maine-Two major
changes in freshman rushing for
sororities have been initiated on
the University of Maine campus.
First, sororities will submit a'
listing of the freshman women
whom they wish to invite to their
first rushing parties.
This list may not consist of more
than 125 names. In the past any
freshman woman who had signed
up for rushing, through registra-
tion, could attend the* first-week
parties.
The second major change in-
volves the rushing period itself.
Upperclass women are now encour-
aged to go into freshman dormi-
tories and - meet the freshman
women.
Under the old system, sorority
members were not allowed to asso-
ciate with freshmen in any way
that might seem that they were
White Keds"
attempting to "sell"-their own sor-
ority.
This new system drops formal
registration entirely. A "clearing
house" will be set up for the pur-
pose of providing a central place
where rushees can pick up invita-
tions and return their replies. This
clearing house will be manned by
two or three alumnae serving as a
type of council.
Invitations' will be sent to the
rushees for the first after-dinner
dates and the replies wiP be taken

to the clearing house, where '

Invitations to the second. a
third week parties will be pick
up by the freshman rushees in 1

chairmen will follow the same p
cedure as they did during the ft
weeks.
In addition to this, the ru
chairmen will turn in the invi
tion lists after each rushing par
