GRADUATE SURVEY:

r

Study Notes Warning Effect

Enrollment Projection
Shows Unmatched Spurt

By GERALD STORCH
The graduate school has a policy
of sending out "warning letters"
to students whose grade-point
standard for the previous semes-
ter has fallen below the 'B' aver-
age required of them.
More than 60 per cent of these
students, however, will either ob-
tain a degree or are still enrolled
and expecting a degree, a recent
survey by Assistant Dean Howard
Bretsch of the graduate school re-
veals.
The other 39.7 per cent of 186
students selected at random after
Blood Group
Urges Staff
To Participate
The University of Michigan
Blood Bank Association will hold
its fall clinic on Sept. 27, in the
Michigan Union.
The Association supplies mem-
bers and their immediate families
with free blood, except 'for local
hospital administration charges, at
any time and any place in the
United States where it can be ac-
cepted. Blue Cross and Blue Shield
do not cover the cost of blood.
All full-time or part-time reg-
ularly employed University staff
members are invited to join, either
in person, or by proxy, should the
individual be rejected as a donor.
University staff members wish-
ing to join may obtain applications
at the Personnel Office; 1028 Ad-
ministration Bldg., on or before
Sept. 21. Proxy donors should also

receiving warnings during the
1959-60 fall semester subsequently
had tg drop out, or are otherwise
not currently enrolled.
The survey then delved into sev-
eral other pertinent factors: the
students' condition of entrance,
number of warnings received and
the University or transfer, in-state
or out-of-state status of admission.
In general, the students seemed
to have the most grade trouble
during their first semester on cam-
pus, and were more likely to drop
out than if they encountered such
problems later on, for only 21.5
per cent of the students getting a
warning after their first semester
have completed degrees, while
about 60 per cent of those receiv-
ing warnings after two semesters
have gone on to finish.
Also, 45 per cent of the students
surveyed had received one warn-
ing, 30.7 per cent two, 15.5 per
cent three and the remaining 8.6
per cent four or more warnings.
Of the 84 students greeted with
only one warning, 38.7 per cent
had been enrolled for one semester
in the graduate school, and 61.7
per cent for two semesters or less.
Warning Adequacy
These and other statistics "seem
to indicate the general adequacy
of the 'warning letter' system," the
survey states.
While cautioning that its lim-
ited scope "does not provide suffi-
ciently reliable data from which
to draw sweeping conclusions," the
report notes that student improve-
ment after being warned cannot
be attributed to selection of "easy"
courses.
"If this were so, more students
would- probably receive warnings
later in their programs when they
are engaged in advanced work."
Dean Bretsch's survey also
points out two reasons for the fact

that most of the students consid-
ered had only one or two warn-
ings: many drop out of school
after a first or second form letter,
and the others had not been in
attendance long enough to get
more than one or two.
More than 80 per cent of the
sample of 186 students were regu-
larly admitted master's or doctor-
al degree candidates; the remain-
der were admitted with a low
undergraduate record, from an
unaccredited school or with lack
of preparation.
Transfer Graduates
In these categories, a "substan-
tially large proportion" of the stu-
dents did not receive their under-
graduate preparation at the Uni.-
The survey admits, however,
versity.
that it "leaves unanswered" sever-
al of the questions implicit in its
figures, much as whether "closer
scrutiny should be given to the ad-
mission applications of students
who have received their bachelor's
degrees at other institutions," and
whether admissions procedures
should be improved to avoid ad-
mitting students likely to receive
warnings.
Sophomores
T o Plan Show
Soph Show will hold a mass
meeting for all students interest-
ed in cast, orchestra or committee
work at 7:30 p.m. today in the
Michigan League ballroom.
Soph Show is an annual func-
tion of the League which offers
sophomore men and women a
chance to work together on a
project. This year's play is "Bye,
Bye Birdie."

A recent enrollment projection
made by the United States Depart-
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare shows that the number
of people attending college has
taken an "unprecedented spurt,"
this year.
This jump, which bothers ad-
missions officers, is an indication
that the number of freshmen en-
tering the nation's colleges next
year, already predicted as ex-
tremely high, may be "even more
crushing than now feared."
This rise is .attributed to two
causes. The first, the bumper crop
of war babies had been expected.
The second is that a greater per-
centage of high school graduates
are going to college.
Steady Rise
Up to this year this percentage
had been rising at a steady rate
of one to two per cent annually.
However, Ernest V. Hollis, direct-
or of college and university ad-
ministration for HEW predicts
that this year's jump will be eight
per cent,
Broken down this means that
71 per cent of the boys and 48
per cent of the girls who graduat-
ed from high school this year are
attending college. This adds up
to a total of 58.6 per cent of high
school graduates attending col-
lege. The comparative figure in
1900 was four per cent.
No Match
Clyde F. Vroman, director of
admissions doubted that Michigan
enrollment would match the eight
per cent increase predicted by Hol-
lis.
He noted that there was a slight
dip in the number of high school
graduates in the state this year.

MICH:
Announces
Sing Along'
As Theme
By JAMES NICHOLS
The Homecoming Committee has
chosen "Sing Along with Mich" as
this year's theme, Co-chairmen
Susan Brockway, '63, and Charles
Mann, '64, announced last night.
Included the musically-oriented
program-which begins Oct. 27--
will be two dances-one formal,
featuring an 11-piece orchestra,
the other informal, with "a well
known campus band"-a top come-
dian," the traditional band, bon-
fire and "Yell Like Hell" contest,
and the "Little Brown Jug" foot-
ball game with Minnesota.
Miss Brockway described the
"Sing Along" theme as "some-
thing that ought to appeal to al-
most everyone. We hope it will
lend itself to having a good time
on campus."
Each display unit will be judged
on originality and integration with
the theme, artistic value and struc-
tural design. Singing groups, group
singing and the Marching Band
will play important roles in the
musically-oriented weekend, the
co-chairmen noted.
No activities will be held on the
Diag.
Miss Brockway and Mann plan
to visit alumni clubs, and to ap-
pear on television in Detroit, Flint,
Toledo, Jackson and Lansing to
publicize the homecoming pro-
gram.
"We anticipate better participa-
tion than in any previous year,"
Mann said.

'knowledge crazy'
However he added that enroll-
ments are continuing to rise.
He cited the reason for this as
the present "hysteria about edu-
cation" and added that the world
is "knowledge crazy."
Refusals Drop
The University has received
about 3,400 freshman places dur-
ing each of the past two years. It
used to be that 70 per cent of
those accepted would actually
come to college but now there is
a situation where only two per
cent of those accepted refuse.
He attributed this to the re-
cently established deposit required
from those who have now been
accepted.
