Letters CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 anyone who graduated from high school, took the SAT and had the ability to scrape up enough money to pay tuition can attend USC. If anything, a step in the right direction would be denying admission to people who have SAT scores below 1000 (or any portion lower than 500). If you’re incapable of scoring near a minimum of 500 for the verbal or the math portion of the SAT, then you have no business at anyone’s university. I’d really like to know what Dennis Pruitt was alluding to that would be more indicative of what students know and will create “a leveler playing field.” Surely GPAs alone can’t be used to assess knowledge. Anyone can take the easiest courses offered and obtain a. respectable GPA. Likewise, fully capable students might not work up to their potential in high school. Dropping the SAT requirement would only obliterate an already level playing field. What other test has the ability show someone’s capabilities as well — an IQ test? And on a final note, to Pruitt, lowering the SAT score admits blacks as well as whites. I’m a black male who scored in the 83rd percentile, which included hundreds of thousands of whites who took the test the same day.

Example (that I’m not making up): Odds are favoring that a member of the Backstreet Boys will come out of the closet by the end of the year. I’ll take that bet. In summary, I would recommend that each American fry to visit England for an extended period. You will feel cool until it’s pointed out that you don’t know who the Prime Minister is.
