Cambridge, Mass., Friday, Oct. 28, 1966 School Commiffee acfion Wateroew passes Wiesner plan The Watertown School Commit- tee put its final seal of approval on a promotional plan for teach- ers 'that includes written exam- inations. Approval of the plan represents a victory for Dr. Jerome B. Wiesner, provost and Dean of the School of Science, whose elec- tion camnpaign last March includ- ed a promise for such a promo- tional system. The other major voice in favor of the plan was ment's David Taylor Model Basin on "Stability and Control in Quar- tering Seas"; and Peter Ward of Stevens Institute's Davidson Lab- oratory, who will present a talk by Paul Spens of Southampton University, England, on "Yacht Research in England." The afternoon session, begin- ning at 1:30, will be moderated by Dr. Patrick Leehey, Associate Professor of Naval Architecture.

Carver, who origin- ally proposed objective criteria for promotions. The major elements of the plan, the sixth draft to be pre- sented to the school committee before approval of the plan could be obtained, are a rating system, wide advertising of positions to be filled, a national teachers' examination with only the' candi- dates with the five highest scores to be considered for promotion, and a ruling that positions above teachers require a master's de- gree. Teachers' ratings will be based 40% on the examinations and 60% on the superintendent's rating. "Foreign policy belongs to the people" was a statement promi- nent both at the beginning and end of the Senator's remarks, which strayed greatly from and elaborated upon his prepared text. Five major pomts Basically, the Senator made five points in his speech: Presi- dent Johnson has ignored the proven machinery of the United Nations, while embarking on the unproven machinery of his own bullheadedness; he has assumed an extreme type of executive su- premacy in the formation of poli- cy, while Congress has itself ab- dicated its right and obligation to check him; the President is operating on a set of admitted and unadmitted false premises, particularly on bombing the North; he has enforced an un- warranted "iron curtain of sec- recy" around the Thailand opera- tions; and the watchword of es- calation has in fact achieved the opposites of its intentions. By Carson Agnew An organization which may soon be a major voice in Repub- lican politics is growing in Cam- bridge. The Ripon Society, "a Re- publican research and policy or- gardzation," which takes its name from the Wisconsin town where the Republican Party was born, was founded in Cambridge in 1962 with the help of John S. Saloma III, Assistant Professor of Political Science at MIT in an at- tempt to counteract the image of the Republican Party as a con- servative, "stupid" group with few solutions to today's problems. Saloma president The Cambridge branch of the Society -(there are now three oth- ers in New Haven, New York, and Los Angeles) is made up pri- marily of men from Harvard, MIT, and Tufts, as well as some local business and professional men, between the ages of twenty and forty. Dr<. Saloma is presi- dent of this group, as well as' co- foender. Policy statements The policy statements of the Ripon Society, the first of which was issued soon after Preident Kennedy's assassination, are be- coming very well thought of in moderate Republican circles. One of the society's reports, which was circulated privately among the GOP before the- 1964 Presi- dential election predicted many of the details of Senator Gold- Why, then, demanded the Sen- ator, does "the machinery of the United Nations, which brought peace to the Congo, the Middle East, and several other potential wars," remain unused? Lost idea of peace "The United States," he ex- plained, "has lost the idea of peace." He pointed to the Manila conference as a unilateral war conference that by nature could only freeze intentions and bases of compromise essential to ob- taining a peaceful-and lasting- settlement. "We can fmce a sur- render," he admitted, '"but a sur- render table can not be a peace table. For the hatred lives on and will only recur later . . . What the United States has failed to learn is that no Western power can henceforth maintain a foot- hold in Asia. Can't we learn this? Britain and France did." On the matter of executive su- premacy and executive secrecy, (Please turn to Page 7) water's loss, including the fact that he did not have the strength to carry the South. Their report Election '64, was well received throughout the country, and was reviewed in Time Magazine. Change necessay The Society trys to base its work on one basic premise: that politics as it has been known heretofore is outdated, and that the ever increasing rate of tech- nological and sociological change makes a "New Politics" neces- sary. By the 1970's, the median age of the United States will be the lowest in the world, the pro- .portion of the popilation who are college graduates will be far high- er than today, and more than half the population will live in one of the three great "metro- politan complexes" of the coun- New demands These people will demand new, forward. looking solutions to ur- ban problems. They will demand servants who administer effective- ly, using whatever technology of- fers to make life more free and government more efficient. The Ripon Society's goal is two-fold. They wish to change the image of the Republican Party, so that it may be a leader ifi the New Politics. But their second purpose is to provide a cadre of "fiery moderates" who can become leaders in the politics of the futur. Vice Presienf Spofligh ifperataions and Personne® Vice President Philip A.

By John Corwin "A continual examination and re-evaluation of ways to provide the most efficient and economical services to the Institute commu- nity" is a major concern of Philip A. 'Stoddard, MIT's Vice Presi- dent in charge of Operations and Personnel. Mr. Stoddard holds executive responsibility for all MIT plant, construction, campus develop- ment, housing and dining facili- ties, certain administrative serv- ices, and non-academic personnel matters. Operations and canstruction Activities relating to the physi- cal plant fall into two general categories. Operations include such things as repairs and main- tenance, mail deliveries, and spe- cial physical arrangements such as the structures built for How- ard Johnson's Inmuguration Oct. 7. The construction division han- dles large-scale projects such as new offices, dormitories, build- ings in general, and projects like the crossing to be built at 77 Massachusetts Avenue. Construc- tion also supervises the carrying out of "space changes," that is, the changes in the use of avail- able space in existing buildings as reallocations are made. Campus development The Planning Office is respon- sible to Mr. Stoddard for long- range plans affecting the campus. For example, a decision of where to place a new dormitory such as MacGregor Dormitory comes under Mr. Stoddard's considera- tion. Frequently he must take into account the effect of campus plan- ning on the City of Cambridge; for example, in considering a crossing solution for the Massa- chusetts Avenue entrance. Housing and dindng Many of the subdivisions of lMr. Stoddard's areas of responsibility are interrelated. For example, he must oversee the programming and design for new housing, and (Please turn to Page 2) I I I 0 a e:n,.. orse assal s, orlei n 0 IC Republican-based Ripon Sodle 0 0 counteracts conservative image IM AV 'S 0 Yacht racing SYMPOSIUM scheduled for N-ov, 9th

    Over or u dr?(Ed. note - The following editorial, is one

    of a series written by MIT students representingstudent groups holding divergent opinions ontopics of current interest. It is presented in orderto stimulate thought and discussion on thesetopics, and does not necessarily represent theopinion of the staff or Board of Directors ofthis newspaper.)

    The Executive Committee of the< Corporation recently decided to con-0 struct a pedestrian bridge at 77 Mass

    u_ Ave to improve traffic safety. This is anexpedient solution to one of several prob-lems reated o tohe "77 Mass Ave areas."

    -r We of the Student Center Committee feelj that there is another aspect to this con-

    uw sideration, one which was perhapsI weighed by the Executive Committee,

    but in our opinion was not weighed heav-ily enough.

    After only one year of operation theStudent Center is bursting at the seams.Activities offices and meeting rooms arenow filled to capacity, and groups arebeing turned away for lack of space.Originally half of the library area wasset aside for activities expansion, butfor some time now the library itself hasbeen near its capacity.

    We expect Ethis shortage of activityspace to intensify over the next few se-mesters. The demand for bowling andbilliards facilities now exceeds the capa-bi~ity of the games area, and space limi-tations make impossible needed expan-sion of commercial facilities, such asTSE and a cobbler shop.

    - Although the Green room has beenconverted to storage space, the need formore has become critical. The Tech

    - Coop has doubled its sales in one year torise from unranked to eighth in the na-tion among college stores. Short on stor-age space from the day it opened, theCoop's needs are severe and growing.Over $16,000 in improvements over thesummer have increased the efficiency ofthe dining services, but lack of storagearea remains a continuing problem. Both'the Physical Plant Department and stu-dent activities need additional storagespace as well.

    The planned westward expansion ofMIT will further aggravate the spaceshortage in the Student Center. Withconstruction of the new McGregor dor dom-itory and the Graduate Studies Center,the Stratton Building will become cen-tral in fact as well as in name, and wemay expect consequent increase in use ofits facilities. Ten years was the estir/matedtime before the Student Center wouldneed to expand, but the need is now, af-ter one year.

    A logical step toward the solution ofthese problems would be an extension ofthe Student Center basement towardMassachusetts Avenue, enlarging exist-ing storage and game areas. Allowancefor such expansion was included in thedesign of the building.

    In addition to alleviating space short-age in the Student Center, an eastern ex-pansion would provide a natural startingpoint for a tunnel under the street, whichin turn would go a long way toward al-leviating the problems which promptedthe decision to build a bridge. indeed, inthe recent deliberation over the develop-ment of the crossing area, the Physical

    Plant department, the Planning Office,and the architects all recommended atunnel rather than a bridge, for reasonsunrelated to the space shortage in theStudent Center. The tunnel would extendnaturally into the proposed complex ofbad-weather tunnels connecting the WestCampus buildings and provide for utili-ties connections with the other side ofMass Ave. Architects are concerned bythe prospect of defacing the main en-trance of MIT.

    The bridge proposal seems to havebeen motivated primarily by the existingtraffic hazard. However, the system oflights, crosswalks, and medians at Mem-orial Drive, Amherst, and Vassar streets,which accompanies the proposed bridge,will in itself alleviate much of this haz-ard by slowing the flow of traffic fromBeacon Street and Central Square intothe MIT area. The bridge adds to thissystem. a traffic-free crossing at 77 MassAve, but will do nothing toward solvingthe pressing expansion problem.

    On the other hand, a tunnel complex,while providing a less than ideal solu-tion to the traffic dilemma, will allow asheltered passage to West Campus and,most importantly, the needed facility forexpansion of the Student Center.

    The complex and pressing problemsof the 77 Mass Ave area demand a com-plete solution. The bridge offers an ex-pedient. partial solution. We. realize thata great deal of study has gone into theExecutive Committee's decision, that thefunding for a bridge is essentially com-plete, and that obtaining money for themore expensive tunnel complex wouldrequire much time. _Hence, we proposethat the system of lights, medians, andcrosswalk be constructed now to helpalleviate the traffic problem.

    Tn the meantime, in view of the rec-commendtaions of the planning office, thePhysical Plant department, and the arch-itects, coupled with the urgent need forexpansion of the Student Center we feelthat a reevaluation of the bridge proposalis justified and that now is the time todo it.

This attitude has spreadthroughout our society; enjoy-ment has become the absence ofdistress rather than the consum-mation of desire.

    A person who is gaining a tech-nical education cannot see hisown feelings and intuition in whathe is studying. He is not drawnout by his education as is ahumanities major; instead, hisprejudice against passion is re-inforced by his education.

    The contrast between the tech-nological and passionate ways oflooking at things may be seenin the relative attitudes of theUnited States and Europe. Here,loyalty to country is based onbelief in the ideals for which itstands; the European's love ofcountry is based irmplyv on thefact that it is his. The anonymityand the emphasis on getting thejob done which we see in Am-erica is further evidence of ourtechnological attitude.

    Technological attitudeDr. Todes closed by noting

    that while he denies the suffici-ency of the technological attitude,he recognizes the need for it intoday's world. The problem fac-ing us, therefore, is to develop anew system of values which willenable us to cope with the yet tobe mastered effects of our newways of thinking.

    .- The problem of housing forMIT students is one that has at-

    tracted a lot of attention in thelast few years, both from thestudents and the Administration.

    O While the total enrollment at theInstitute has increased, the num-

    O ber of available beds on campus> has not kept up.

    < About 18/0 undergraduates areD housed on campus, along with_ 430 graduate students. The fra-

    ternities. hold approximately 1350students, and Westgate has 210units for married students andsome coeds. This leaves about

    ,, 50 undergraduates and countlessgraduate and married students

    LLII without places to live.

    Hoiusing ServiceThe Community Housing Serv-

    ice in Room 7-102 is the officewhere MIT students go to-gethelp n findkg apartanents. Thisservice, originally under TCA,was under the direction of DeanFassett during the last couple ofyears, and has existed as a partof the Institute Real Estate Officesince July 1, 1966. Under thedirection of Mrs. Mary Covert,the Community Housing Serviceserves as an efficient clearinghouse for landlords and tenants,and its purpose is to try to helpstudents and staff find the kindof housing they want.

    MIrs. Cover explained that thehousing shortage at MIT is, infact, a shortage of the kind ofhousing that most people wouldlike to have- cheap, clean, andconvenient. First of all, the Bos-ton area does not have enoughgood inexpensive housing, andthis fact must be accepted. Also,the increasing interest rates havetightened mortgage money need-ed for the construction of newhousing, and fewer people havemoved out of the existing apartment. Mirs. Covert also said thalstudents now are used to betterliving conditions, and that theyhave higher aspirations in housing than students had in the past

    problern by building Eastgate,a200- unit high- rise apartmentbuilding for married students andfaculty. The Community HousingSenvice helps by trying to estab

    Mrs. Covert suggested thatlearning to cope with the housingproblem may be considered partof the process of education, in asmuch as it is an experience anda challenge. It is mainly a matter of attitude.

    viction'); (4) to change his mind,even at the risk of 'political sui-cide;' and (5) to go against pub-lic opinion when he knows publicopinion is wrog.

    By the time he had finished hisbiases, one began to wonder howSen. Morse had survived threetimes the rigors of re-election."That's my duty," he said. "Thepeople expect it of me . . . Mo-ney and smear may defeat me,but not my own actions. Yousee," he explained, "I have theadvantage of coming from thestate second in literacy in thenation . . . I have faith in myconstituents." For the nation aswell, the Senator affirmed that"brain power is our most impor-tant security weapo," and toldthe students in the audience whatour country needs (including thePresident) is "a better job ofthinking."

    The relation between the Sena-tcor's biaases and the executionof Afreign policy were evident.Though never by direct state-ment, Sen. Morse made it obvi-ous that Pres. Johnson does notshare these biases with regard toocbligations of elected officials.

    Not a VietnikIt is significant that, as the

    Senator reminded his enthusiasticaudience, "I have never advocat-ed pulling out of Vietnam. Wecan't." Neither did he call for adirect de-escalation; rather he re-affirmed that any time it wouldbe effective to have the U.N. stepin-but that the longer we wait,the greater the possibility that itmay be too late. As the Senator

    pointed out in answer to a ques-tion afterwards, "If you can'tjustify a full war, you cannotwage a limited one." (Confucius:"If you would catch a trout, don'tclimb a tree.")

    Checkidng execulive supremacy

    As to how the "trend towardexecutive supremacy" could bechecked, Sen. Morse was as cri-tical of tihe Congress as of thePresident. He mentioned the leg-islative check on the purse-strings,but he pointed out the implica-ton of 'betrayal' and 'lack ofpatriotism' in not paying for thePresident's war. "The only checkleft now is the ballot," he con-cluded, and he said that he wouldnot campaign is year for anycandidate supporting the Presi-dent's policy.

    At the reception the Senatorwas asked if his opposition couldlead him to oppose the Presidentin 1968. He said that he himselfhad neither the desire nor thecredentials to run for the presi-dency, but that there "is one manwho can do it-and that's BobbyKennedy. If Bobby Kennedywould threaten to break from theparty on this basis and run forPresident in '68," remarked theSenator, "it might have a re-markable effect on Johnson's for-eign policy."

    JFK-a personal noteAlso at the reception (where,

    incidentally, the questions werefar superior to those in the pressconference earlier) Sen. Morsetold a remarkable story of Pres.Kennedy and ,his concern over aVietnamese War.

    When Sen. Morse w.s criticiz-ing administration policy in No-vember 1963, '; Pres. Kennedycalled the Senator to the WhiteHouse. "I'm not sure you'rewrong," said Kennedy. Tne Sen-

    ietnamator warned of the State Depart-ment and the Pentagon sucking'the President into a full scalewar. "That's not my intention,"said the President. "You won'tbe able to help it," said the Sen-ator. The President was con-cerned and said he would makean "intense study," it the con-clusion of which he wanted Sen.Morse "to give me half a day todiscuss it with you."

    A year later it happened thatthe then Ambassador Galbraithwas talking to Sen. Morse aboutthe war, under Pres. Johnson."You know," said the Anmbassa-dor, "Kennedy was so concernedabout the Pentagon making an-other Bay of Pigs out of Viet-nam. He was making an intensestudy that verified every criti-cism you made of his policy."

    It was Sen. Morse's opinionthat had Jack Kennedy lived hewould not have escalated the war-the way President Johnson did.It was clear that Pres. Kennedyshared the one 'bias' that Sen.

    Miiorse finds so lacking in Pres.Jhcnson: the obligation to facefacts and change one's mind.

    The future

    In conclusion,' on the basis ofhis statements at dinner, pressconference, lecture, reception andinterview, the Senator shows thefollowing prospects for the Viet-nam War: unless the 'surrender'table of Manila yields to a tri-partite peace table, or unless theUnited Nations itself providesthat table, the trend and fruitless-ness of escalation will only con-tinue.

    lems separate them; they re-unite. The man and the womanmeet accidentally at the boardingschool their children attend.

    When he gives her a ride backto Paris, we learn that Anouk'shusband, a stunt man, was killedon a movie set where they bothworked. Later in the film we findthat Trinitignant is a race driverand, like the woman he meets,isalso widowed. The entire filmrevolves around Aimee and Trin-tignant as they slowly -fall inlove, each one a little afraid,and each one uncertain of the oth-er's feelings.

    'A Man and A Woman' is avisual story. There is no audionarration and even the dialogueis kept to a minimum. Instead,the love story is told through thecamera angle. Use of color over-tones set the mood for the scenes.The brilliant color during the rac-ing scenes and the green over-tones when the lovers drive on acold night are examples of thedozens of ways in which this filmexploits the visual possibilities ofthe film medium.

    Effective flashbacksFlashbacks are used effectively

    to illustrate the mood and moti-vation of the lovers instead ofonly plot completion.

    Ln the film we find a rhythm

    of movement that makes it runsmoothly and allows a scene tochange suddenly from a sportscar race to a quiet living room.The unusual visual counterpointused also becomes striking in'A Man and A Woman' when,for example, Trintignant's sportscar is humorously contrasted toa camel on Aimee's movie set. itis no surprise that 'A Man and AWoman' received the' F r e n c hfilm award for best photography.

    Not overdone'A Man and A Woman' is a

    touching film. Miss Aimee's per-sonal beauty is radiated on theaudience. The love between theman and woman as well as theirlove for their children- adds tothe warmth. Yet, the story is notoverdone. Though their ocupa-tions are fascinating, the coupleskillfully- escapes the possibleHolywood jet-set image.

    The director, Claude Lelouche,has been careful to avoid thisimage by such subtle effects asmaking Trintignant's car dirtyafter a long drive. You will findthat 'A Man and A Woman,' theGrand Prize winner at this year'sCannes Film Festival, is a prizeworth seeing.

    hit first in Boston in October,ud gradually spread until it hittnIMber one nationally in Janu-y, 196, for two weeks. ItVIed second to 'Satisfaction' in

    my poll for MlT's favorites of1965. Their three succeeding sin-gles, 'Homeward Bound,' 'I Am ARock,' and 'The Dangling Conver-sation,' hit national peaks of 5, 3,and 25, respectively. The failureof 'Dangling Conversation' toequal the popularity of the otherthree may indicate a trend forrecord buyers to look for musicaloriginality rather- than literary

    . content.Predestination

    The philosophy reflected in their-singles and new album is one ofpredestination and loneliness. Con-sider 'Patterns,' an album cutthat in my opinion would havebeen a better single than 'HazyShade' which is not on the album.It contains a catchy melody anda minor mode guitar over bon-gos. It compares our life to thatof a rat in a maze. "From themoment of my birth till the in-stant of my death, there are pat-terns I must follow just as I mustbreathe each breath." It strikesout at artificial regulations suchas "the color of my skin and theday that I grow old." This pre-destination is discussed further in'Flowers Neved Bend with theRainfall.' "No matter if you'reborn to play the king or pawn...I must be what I must be andface tomorrow."

    LonelinessLoneliness is clearest in 'I Am

    A Rock' ("I have no need offriendship; friendship causes pain

    I touch no one and no onetouches me") or perhaps in'Homeward Bound,' where thetheme, the solitude of the per-forming artist, is not so extremeas the total hermitage of 'I Am ARock.' This isolation is also im-plied in 'The Sounds of Silente'and 'The Dangling Conversation,'both of which comment on man'sinability to communicate withman. In 'Sounds' the only com-munication is superficial ("neonlight") while generally people are"talldng without speaking; peoplehearing without listening." In'Conversation,' no two people havethe same ideas or interests andhence any communication is wast-ed, the people being isolated by"the borders of our lives."

    Twentieth Century Europe, by C. ing the Dead Sea and risingE. Black and E. C. Helm- 1,300 feet at the eastern edgereich, was published this weekby Knopf of Borzoi Books. Theauthors have revised their com-prehensive history of modernEurope to describe the develop-ments within the separate na-tions while stressing the inter-national character of today'sworld. They emphasize the re-cent movement toward a gen-eral European economic andpolitical comunity and the crit-ical reactions of GaullistFrance, the growing individual-ity of the Soviet bloc countries,and the early effects of theSino- Soviet rift. The authorsare, respectively, professor ofhistory at Princeton Universityand chairman of the Depart-ment of History at BowdoinCollege.

    L S D On Campus, by WarrenYoung, former science editorof 'Life' and Joseph Hixon,former science editor of 'News-week,' will be published by Dellthis month. The book is not anattempt to further any pre-conceived notions about thedrug. It is an objective, well-documented account of the'acid scene' with particular em-phasis on the use of LSD inAmerican colleges and univer-sities. The authors have drawnon interviews with students, ed-ucators, legislators, physicians,and clergymen throughout theUS in their effort to understandboth the effects of the drugand the reasons for it4 specialappeal to the younger genera-tion.

    Masada, by Yigael Yadin of theHebrew University, was pub-lished by Random House lastweek. As Director of the Mas-ada Archaeological Expedition,he and his volunteers made oneof the most sigificant archae-ological excavations in recenttimes. From AD 70 to AD 73,the reck of Masada, overlook-

    of the Judean desert, was thescene of one of the most heroicstruggles in history, when 960Jews d e f e n d e d themselvesagainst 15,000 soldiers of theRoman army. Yadin bringsthat struggle to life in his ac-count of the excavation.

    Niels Bohr, by Ruth Moore, cur-rently a correspondent on theChicago Sun Times, was pub-lished by Knopf of Borzoi Booksthis week. The author not onlytells the exciting story ofBohr's career, but also des-cribes the fundamental ideas of

    modern physics in terms that

    can be understood by the gen-eral reader. The eventual con-struction of the atom bomb wasdue largely to Bohr's concinc-ing key scientists to leave Ger-many and Italy before the war,and to his persuading Einsteinto write his famous letter toPresident Rooselevt that secur-ed his support of the projectand the stockpiling of cruCialmaterials. During the vwar, heworked against the Nazis atgreat personal risk and laterplayed a leading scientific rolein the crisis of atomic policy in1944 and 1945.

    The time has come for theUnited States to reverse its six-teen year_ old policy of opposingCommunist China's admission tothe United Nations. Such is thebelief of the twenty-seven mem-bers of the United Nations Asso-ciation as expressed in a sixty-four page report submitted to theState Department.

    One member of this associationis MIT Political Science ProfessorLucian W. Pye.

    Others of the list of distin-guished people are names as A.Doak Barnett, acting director ofEast Asian Studies at ColumbiaUniversity, Everett Case, Presi-dent of the Alfred P. Sloan Foun-dation, Anna L. Strass, formerlyPresident of the League of Wom-en Voters, and Donald S. Zago-riax, professor of political sci-ence at Columbia University.

    The Association feels that itis important that Communist Chi-na be admitted to the UN be-cause its membership wouldstrengthen moderate voices pres-ently in Peking. Such influence,they believe, would possibly ef-fect who the successor to MaoTse-tung might be.

    The association recommendsthat the United States begin "feel-ing out" other countries whichhave in the past been allies inopposition to China's admissionto the UN.

    Inlna's memmbership would be thatissues which are presently elud-ing the UN, such as Vietnam,could finally be brought into ef-fective international discussion.

    If Cho.m were admitted to theUN, this would not mean thatNationalist China would forfeittheir seat. The Association pointsout that the 12 million people inTaiwan would still need repre-sentation in the UN.

    Seventeen of the members ofthe association firmly believe thatPeking should be given a per-

    nanent seat on the Sec u^rity,Council.

    Four members of the associa-tion, including Prof. Pye of MIT,are opposed to this action. Theybelieve that such action is atthis time "premature." They alsodoubt the legality of such a pro-vision, for it might require anamendment to Article 23 of theUN Charter, which might, as it

    publicity that went along with theDraft tests last Spring, there waslittle follow-up material on scoresand what they meant. nhe Engi-neering Manpower Commissionhas compiled a large amount ofdata on the Selective Service Col-lege Qualification Tests admlnis-tered during the spring and sum-mer of thiis year. Included werethe method of scoring, the results,and certain recommendations tostudents interested in taking theexams.

    The four exams given by theScience Research Association forVne- Department of Defense werecomposed of 150 objective bWquestions. There was no duplica-tion o:f questions 011 thle four .ex-tams. The mathematical tyequestions required no more knowl-edge than is normally presprntedbyv the first year of high school.
