ge. * What Is Goal, Ith BY COOKIE CRUM Staff Writer This week we are going to dis cuss the future of the University of South Carolina, which de pends to a large extent on the future students of the Univer sity. Many of us took the Uni versity entrance examination and we know exactly .how "dif ficult" the exam is. Is -this ex an-ination a good judge of whether or not a student is ca pable of doing college work? Is there any comparison between this examination and the Na tional College Entrance Exami nation Board test? Why let a student who has skimmed by in -high school and who made an average below 5 on the entrance exam come to college? This student is prob ably going to do worse in col lege than he did in high school because any college should be more difficult. If a college is supposed to be a training center and a place of higher learning for those students of higher in telligence, why hinder these stu dents by placing them in a class where the professor spends even a small amount of time coaching a student in basic high school math, science, or English. I was also surprised to dis cover from the administration that USC offers an equal num ber of athletic and non-athletic scholarships. Why? Aren't col leges supposed to be schools of knowledge? Perhaps we would have more intellectually outstand ing atudents at Carolina if there were more scholarships offered. Perhaps there would be more noticeable leadership by these students if they were given time to work for the University in many extracurricular activities because they didn't have to work on the outside as many of them do. The questions for this week are: Should the University en trance examination requirements be raised? And should there be more facilities for non-athletic scholarships? BARBARA LAPUDUS, a jun ior, feels: "I feel the entrance examina tion requirements at the Univer sity should be raised. The exami nation level is .inferior when sec ond-year high school students can pass it. If standards are raised, more effort will be put in high school towards studies, instead of being taken as a social affair. To be taught at a college level, students should conme to the University prepared and ready to accept college level ma terial. "The stricter the requirements, the better the University aver age can compare with other col leges and universities. The level of the students in the state should be improving. This wvouldl call for an 'improvement of the en trance exam. "There is always a need for 'more non-althletic scholarships. For the students wvith inquisitive minds, there should be an in centxive in the form of more available competitive scholastic scholarships. "In this highly accelerated world, the brilliant minds of to day, when given a chance to de velop, can improve our position not only in the fields of physics and math, but also in diplomacy and international affairs. Our future depends upon these indi viduals who will be running the. world. 'The University 'is a won derful place where the world hostiliity to curiosi,ty can be de fied'." JEFF MEADOWCROFT, a sophomore, says: "Ca'rollina is a good school and rapidly growing better. Several of our departments are among the better in the nation, yet we have no real entrance reqjuire mets. The Untiversity takes al most every person who graduates fromn any little backwoods high school un the state. "The question of athletlc schol arshlps Is ovne 'of the educational paniadoxes of our time. All schools say rbhefr purpose is the 'advance ment of Iearning. Yet these same so-4aIled educadkonl establish Carolina 's. Reason Fo tenths of their scholarships into sports. ls Carolina's purpose to have good athletic teams? Or is .it to educate? I realize the trend in educational institutions is to build their reputation on the shoulders of an athletic team. However MIT and the Ivy League schools have among the highest educational standards in the nation, yet their sports are not among the best. Or compare the salary of a top football coach with a top professor and you see the absurdity of this question. What is Carolina's pur pose, its goal, its reason for being-the furtherment of in Jeff Meadoweroft tellect or better athletic teams? Once you have answered this, the question of where the mony should go is answered for you." SAM FREED, a junior, thinks: "Yes, I sincerely believe so. It really isn't fair to aspiring college students to let 1thein be lieve that they are ready to en ter college when they have amassed an average less than a 5 on the Carolina entrance ex anmination. "This type of procedure places a heavy burden on them, their fellow students and the faculty that must endeavor to instruct them. "To the new student entering Carolina, the transition period from high school to college is a difficult experience, to say the least, let along to find out that once he is within the walls of the University he is not men tally p)rep)ared to engage ade SCIENTIFIC ADVA Progress of Womnen Dr. Allure Magnetismn of men wh< barely existent.

"Last but deflinitely not -least, it would relieve the faculty from the burden of the -academically unprepared college student. Our faculty is one of fine standing and like other fine faculties in other fine schools should not be made to instruct every Tom, Dick, and Harry because they have the financial ability to obtain a college education. "The non-athletic scholarship -is a point of wide discussion and until recently, little action. One professor once commented, 'If the University gave the nunvber of 'non-athletic scholarships in place of the ones we now give solely for athletes we would have one of the finest schools in the country scholastically wise.' "Here we see a warped sense of values that has -been allowed to flourish with the sanction of the powers that be. Though strangely enough few people will admit that .they know exactly what is going on out at the Round House. The amount of money involved is astronomical. For example, $17 out of every $25 of available student money goes directly to the ath letic department. This leaves $8 a student that goes to student allocations to in turn benefit the students directly. This is just one of the many ways money is obtained. There should be made avail able equal facilities for obtaining scholarships for the purpose of fulfilling the main pur pose of a college career, that of education. Maybe an alterna tion plan could be worked out if the powers that be saw fit to stress the academic area at sometime or other. So until some system is worked out by the powers that he both on the entrance requirements and scholarships that can be used for educational purposes, we will continue to see the old school thought of 'college is a place wvhere higher learning must be fostered at all cost' take a back seat to the new sensationalism of the modern idea man of how to build a college name through brawn insatead of brain (I wvas going to say build a name through the 'Air' instead of through the hooks-b)ut that wvould have really been stupid wvould'nt it Mr. G.) ."
