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, city superintendent of Public Works, will moderate a sectional discussion on "Better Use of Existing Streets." To Talk on Policy At Thursday's-general session John H. Huss, director of the' Michigan Municipal League will talk on "A Michigan Municipal Policy fof 1958-59 Home Rule." Robert E.

"Revitalizing Our Downtown Areas" will be the subject of a discussion Friday morning at the general session. Arthur Rubloff, Chicago realtor, Karl Van Leuven, city planner associated with a pri- vate firm, and Ggorge D. Sexauer, Detroit appraiser will speak. U Bandsmen Give Concert The University Marching Band presented an impromptu concert on the steps of Angell Hall Satur- day, while pictures were being taken. A crowd of approximately 300 students gathered to hear such evergreens as "The Victors" and "Varsity," which the band will, as in years past, perform several times each football Saturday.

Mayors Louis C. Miriani of De- troit, Robert Schultheiss of Port Huron and William Creason of Grand Haven will discuss what their cities have done to help. solve this problem. urgency existing in most cities. ANN ARBOR, Mich. - "Unex- pectedly high response" to the University-Wayne State Univer- sity Division of Adult Education course- in beginning Russian has necessitated doubling the facili- ties for the course, Hamilton Still- well, director, recently announced. Originally set up for 15 stu- dents, the beginning Russian lan- guage course registration passed 25, he announced. Interest is also evident in the French, German, Italian and'Spanish courses. Over 80 courses are now offered by the Adult Education Division. * * * 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 BEG DEAL 0ONCAPU . . . ... _. . .-":.- r 425 to the clearing house, where ' rush chairman from each soror will pick them up. Invitations to the second. a third week parties will be pick up by the freshman rushees in 1 clearing house'office, and the ru 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 U OPEN EVENINGS EPIC RECRDS- Product of CBS Columbia 25oOFF COMPLETE CLASSICAL CATALOGUE regularly $3.98 NOW $298 COMPLETE OPERAS, reg $4.98 . . .
