In all likelihood, the tests will be retained. In their discussion of the tests, the literary college fac- ulty must necessarily consider the University's needs for ade-, qu'ate tests for. admissions. Two-Year Study This consideration comes at, the end of a two-year study in whic . applicants to the Univer- sity were required to take col- lege boards. A literary college faculty admissions committee, chaired by Prof. Hubert M. Eng- lish of the English department, will submit its final recommen- dations on continued use of col- lege boards. The achievements tests -the' afternoon examinations prepar- ed by the College Entrance Ex- amination Board-are intended to rate a student's ability in a specific field. The worth of the Scholastic Aptitude Test, given in the morning, has generally been ac- cepted. But the value of the' achievement tests had been challenged on the grounds that they provide no additional in- formation and that, in fact, they are nothing but duplica- tions of the SAT. Abolish SAT The University of California came to practically the opposite conclusion, deciding to put the achievement tests under sur- veillance and throw out the SAT entirely. One study connected by a member of the Los Angeles campus mathematics depart- ment even found an inverse correlation between the mathe- matics score on the SAT and later college grades in the sub- ject. Studies conducted by the lit- erary college, the admissions of- fice and the University Bureau of Psychological Services show that in general, the addition of achievement test data to infor- mation already available to an admissions officer enables him to improve only slightly upon the accuracy of his predictions. of a student's performance here, admissions director B y r o n Groesbeck explained recently. E Pluribus Unum * Studies of the achievement tests will probably be contin- ued because of the difficulty of getting information concern- ing one specific test from among the many achievement tests that are offered. At present, all nine Univer- sity schools and colleges admit- ting freshmen require appli- cants to take the SAT. Ex- cept for the engineering col- lege, all require three achieve- ment tests. Significantly, perhaps, the engineering college originally required the achievement tests at the beginning of the two- year study. No Justification Considering the cost of the achievement tests, the Univer- sity does not seem justified in requiring them on an across- the-board basis for admissions purposes alone, Groesbeck said. But for a small proportion of applicants the admissions of- fice finds it helpful to have the achievement test information. Students' SAT scores have been used as supplementary in- formation in admissions ever' since about 1955, when some students applying to the Uni- versity first began submitting test scores with their applica- SAT tions. The SAT scores are now considered second to high school grades in importance in deciding acceptance of appli- cants. Grade-Course Correlation In studying a student's high school record, the admissions office also notes any correlation between good grades and sub- stantial courses and any ten- dency toward better grades as a student progresses in his high school career. SAT scores tend to measure ability. Low scores coupled with high grades in high school in- dicate either an unchallenging high school or a diligent stu- dent. The reverse would imply that a student was not working up to his abilities. For obviously well-qualified, students, the admissions office may accept the applicant before receiving his board scores. Not as Important Other information, such-as recommendations from high school counselors or principals, is important, but it is less so than high school grades or SAT scores. The use of achievement tests comes into admissions only in certain situations to aid deci- sions, such as when the admis- sions office knows absolutely nothing about an applicant's high school. Also, achievement tests are looked at in some bor- derline cases. Thus, the admissions office may choose to wait for the achievement tests, which are' often taken later than the SAT, before deciding on an applicant. This delay arises since tech- nically the SAT scores are re- quired for admission, and the achievement test scores are re- quired only for enrollment, thati is, are required before an in- coming freshman can be coun- See TWO-YEAR, Page 2: See Problems In, Deciding On Location Beadle Cites Need To Further Develop Present Institutions By ANDREW ORLIN The state Legislature "will have to be shown the need for a third medical school" before any serious thought can be given to the mat- ter, Sen. Frank D. Beadle (R- St. Clair) said last night. Beadle, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, stress- ed the need to develop the exist- ing medical schools at the Univer- sity and at Wayne State Univer- sity. "I feel we have a definite commitment to meet the needs of the two existing medical schools before we start thinking about another one," he said. A committee formed by the Michigan Coordinating Council for Higher Education will meet here this Friday in hopes of fin- ishing its report on the third medical school. There is specula- tion that the committee will cite the need for the third school but will urge that it shouldn't be started until the present schools are fully developed. Problems, Problems Any questions of the third medi- cal school immediately raises the problem of where and under which institution it will be set up. Michigan State University has wanted a medical school on its campus for a long time. Last year it got the Coordinating Council's approval to set up a two-year "pre-Clinical" medical program. It has been estimated that anywhere from $30-60 million would be needed to develop a four year medical school at MSU. Others Are Interested Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo are also interested in attracting a medical school if and when def- inite plans are made for it. WSU is in line for more of the total capital outlay than is the University, Beadle said. The Uni- versity already has a graduating class of 200 students a year; WSU has only 125. Money going to the WSU medical school will be used to bring that number up to 200. The state will only have to pay a part of the amount necessary to expand the medical schools. The rest will be taken care of through a recently passed federal medical education act. WSU is already planning to apply for $11 million under this act.

FRENCH MINISTER TO VISIT: Hope Talks Ease NATO Split Richardson Leaves Post In Viet Nam By The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The United States intelligence chief in South Viet Nam, John H. Richardson, and some - other senior American officials at Saigon probably will be recalled in a shakeup of per- sonnel under Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge. Reporting this yesterday, in- formed sources said Richardson is being brought back to Washing- ton "for consultation" but Lodge has asked for a permanent re- placement. The others who may be replaced in the diplomatic-military trouble spot were not named. It was said that Lodge, who took over as am- bassador in late August, feels that changes are needed for a more effective performance in the pre- vailing circumstances. One major difficulty has been dealing with the authoritarian re- gime of President Ngo Dinh Diem. At one point Washington hoped Diem would get rid of his in- fluential brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, who is regarded as a powerful ad- vocate of tough tactics against the regime's Buddhist opponents. With Washington-~ trying but failing to get Nhu out of the dlace or to change his policies, it was felt here that United States of- ficials in Saigon who had worked closely with Nhu are now in a position of decreased influence. Also, there have been reports of conflict among United States Cen- tral Intelligence Agency men in South Viet Nam over whether there should be changes in the Saigon government. In other recent developments, 16 countries were reported plan- ning yesterday to propose that the United Nations General Assembly ask Secretary-General U Thant to talk to the government of South Viet Nam about better treatment for the Buddhists of that country. The United Nations move was underscored by recent develop- ments in South Viet Nam in which which a young Buddhist monk burned himself to death before hundreds of stunned spectators in Saigon and the political crisis there hit a new and dangerous peak of tension. In addition, three American newsmen attempting to cover the grisly suicide outside Saigon's teeming central market were brut- ally beaten by plainclothes Viet- namese police.

The next move is up to the Kennedy administration, a Hungarian diplomat said. Other diplomatic sources said the Czech and Bulgarian em- bassies here also have expressed interest in buying American grain, in an estimated total value of
