USC admitted 403 undergraduate transfers in the fall and of the ;, 18 were suspended. Four hundred twenty-one stu dents were readmitted last fall semester and 161. or 381, were suspendedl. Dr. Godfrey commented that the number suspended this year is ac tually less yet regulations applied to approximately 400 more stu lents. Factors The trend toward better scholar ship apparently stems from at least four factors, according to a USC spokesman. These include: (1) Increased recognition by stu dents of the urgency and impor tance of a university education in the Space Age, (2) Admission to the university of students with a higher academic potential, (3) The strengthening of faculty an. teaching p r o g r a in s , and (4) Quicker evaluation of scholarship by modern techniques, so that deficiencies b e c a m e apparent sooner and students were made awere of them in time to improve "We are devoting increased ef fort to strengthening our means of aiding students to make all possible scholastic progress,'' the spokesman continued. "Plans to install a comprehensive counsel ing service to do this have been forestalled by lack of funds, bu' we are pushing measures which we hope will fulfill this need at least in part until funds are avail able."
