Traditionally, the purpose of many of these institutions has been to provide opportunity to all who might benefit by a college education. Now they must sift through applicants and take only those with better than average grades. Because they simply do not have space to accommodate the numbers of high school graduates applying for admission, some in- stitutions find they have no room at all for marginal students, while others must turn down or screen "C" students. Hard Some institutions, however, face the cruel necessity of having to refuse admission to qualified stu- dents. Of the 86 institutions that re- sponded to the survey, 21 said they had always been selective to some degree and 59 said they had originally admitted all graduates of accredited high schools within their states. Of these 59, however, only 22 have been able to hold to a relative open-door policy and 20 have become selective in the past five years. Even among those institutions which still try to admit all gradu- ates of accredited high schools within their states, the door is not wide open. The University of Min- nesota's General College, whose basic admission requirement was formerly high school graduation, will begin next fall to limit en- rollment to 4,000 freshmen and sophomores. Higher academic re- quirements have prevailed for some time at the university's col- lege of liberal arts. The Universities of Nebraska and Kansas report they use "dis- suasive counseling" with marginal students. At Ohio's public univer- sities, marginal students-or those graduating in the lower third of their high school classes-may not enter in the fall, term, but must enter during another part of the academic year. 'C' Average The University of Maryland re- quires a "C" average in college preparatory courses for the final two years of high school. Those below this academic level may still qualify for admission by success- ful work in a tailored precollege summer course. Iowa State University requires a special test and a personal in- terview for students in the lower half oftheir high school gradu- ating class. The University of Idaho re- quires graduates in the lower quarter of their high school class to enter in the second semester, unless they have high college board scores. Some institutions require only that the applicant be in the upper 75 per cent of his graduating class. These institutions include Arizona State University, Univer- sity of Arizona, University of Mis- sissippi and Oklahoma State Uni- versity. Several noted that only a handful below that level seek a higher education. Top 40 Florida State University admits only those in the upper 40 per cent on state-wide tests. The Uni- versity of Wisconsin requires only "evidence of ability to do satis- factory work." For out-of-state students, all the institutions responding to the DIXIELAND IOLD HEIDELBERG ITONIGHTJ question said their entrance re- quirements were higher-in some3 cases very much higher.- The University of California at Berkeley (which accepts only the top 121/2 per cent of in-state stu- dents) requires a 3.4 average in required courses for out-of-state applicants. UCLA accepts only those out-of-state students who rank in the upper 1/16th of their class. The University of Delaware is "very restrictive" in dealing with out-of-state applications, the Uni- versity of Connecticut takes only 200 of 4000 applicants, the Univer- sity of New Hampshire limits its out-of-state enrollment to those of "special academic achieve- ment," the University of Wash- ington is "highly selective," and the University of Michigan takes only the top 15 per cent from out- of-state. Women Lose Although there are no specific differences in the entrance re- quirements for men and women, many institutions pointed out that housing for women students is limited. This automatically makes for greater selectivity and higher standards of admission. About one-third of the report- ing institutions indicated they probably will be forced to become more selective in the future-par- ticularly for out-of-state students.

Tests Helpt A number of institutions will admit a "C" student only on the basis of a good test score. At the University of Nevada, a1 "D" student may register for a reduced class schedule to demon-" strate his ability. At New Mexico State University, the director of admissions may accept a poor- risk student if there is evidence1 of maturity and a desire to study. Almost unanimously, the insti- tutions replying to the survey said they gave more emphasis to high school grades than to test scores in determining admissions. The Universities of Connecticut, Delaware and Florida said test scores and high school grades werej given equal weight.a To commemorate the centennial of Italian unification, in 1961 the Italian government set up a com- mittee of Italian historians to award the prize. The manuscript, published by the Princeton University Press, concerns the principal political and propaganda organizations during the period of unification. Grew said he was very pleased to receive the award. "Italian uni- fication is now recognized as a subject of international study," The University of Michigan Jazz Band will leave Jan. 23 for a State Department-sponsored tour of Latin America under the Cul- tural Presentations Program. It will be the first opportunity for a jazz band to be involved in the exchange program, although the program has been in operation for 10 years. Bruce Fisher, '65BAd, the band's conductor and creator, says he hopes to "present American music to people of Latin America and to present ' typical American stu- dents." He feels the concerts will appeal especially to students and youth of Latin America. The tour will include stops in Guatemala, British Honduras, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Vene- zuela, Surinam, British Guiana, Trinidad, Tobago, Haiti and Ja- maica. Besides giving concerts, the jazz band will hold clinics and panels in which they will discuss music and demonstrate different aspects of their playing, such as impro- visation. By LAURA GODOFSKY Collegiate Press Service The college graduate-to-be can expect to make at least seven job changes in his working life. He can also expect half of what he is now learning to be obsolete in five years if he is studyingI physics, in ten years if he is studying engineering, and in fif- teen years if he is studying law. Furthermore, in some of the physical sciences, half of what he will need to know in the next ten years has yet to be discovered. This picture of rapidly changing career requirements was outlined recently by Paul Sheats, dean of extension at the University of California, and Seymour Wolf- bein, a Labor Department em- ployment expert. According to Wolfbein, any stu- dent who specializes early in the face of such a fluid occupational outlook is making a serious mis- take. Advising students to delay their majors as long as possible, Wolfbein urged electing a wide variety of courses in order to be able to cope with a variety of jobs. The main occupational chal- lenge for those entering the pro- fessions will be in keeping up to date with new developments, he continued. Echoing Wolfbein's Views, Sheats claimed that life-long education will be needed to avoid obsoles- cence in the professions. ::<:,:; <:; r;: ti;. .ti S"1 JS. 11..1.1^a1 a'.14M}W : L...
