New Entrance System
AT U. Of Maryland
Urged by Committee
l0-Point Analysis Of Each
Student Would Replace
High School Credit Plon
BY the Associated Press.

The University of Maryland Ad-
missions Committee has recon-
mended to President H. c. Byrd
establishment of a new entrance
procedure scrapping the "Carnegie
point system" in favor of a clinical
picture" analysis Of each applicant
for enrolment.
The committee asserted that
nearly so per cent of the students
in the entering classes at the Uni
versity of Maryland never gradu-
ate" because the present admissions
procedure does not take into con-
sideration such factors as "inefii-
cient study habits. lack of purpose,
emotional maladjustment. faulty ex-
preston, inability to read effectively
and host Of other reasons"
Ten-Point Analysis.
The proposed system of admis-
sions would be based on a 10-point
analysis of students qualifications
including:
Demonstrated performance in
reference to reading rate and COM
prehension; demonstrated facility in
oral and written expression; demon
stration of purposefulness; personal
and social adjustment; home and
family background, and native in
telligence.
Seventy five per cent of school
principals who have responded to
queries on the new entrance pro-
gram have done 50 favorably, the
committee reported.
Under the present system, stu
dents are admitted on completion of
specific high school credits.
Carnegie Unit" Measure.
Concerning the Carnegie unit"
measure for high school graduation
and college entrance, the committee
said:
THE consensus seems 10 be that
the Carnegie unit is a quantity
rather than quality measure, and
that to require all applicants for
admission to college to present the
same number and kind of units is a
practice which completely ignores
the widely different curricula which
college students pursue"
The committee reported that it
would be up to DR.. Byrd to decide
when and how the program would
be instituted.

Star to Sponsor Wushinqton Welcomes You

Plans for continuation of the
washington Welcomes You" prof.
ect-a series of programs especially
| for newcomers to the city-were
mapped yesterday afternoon at a
meeting at the United States In
| formation Center, attended by rep
/ reSentatives of nearly a score of
| leading organizations.
Designed to acquaint the new
conner with the cultural, recreation
| al and historical values of the Ma
| tons Capital, to introduce him to
his fellow-residents and to make him
/ feel at home, the project this year
will be sponsored by The Star, in
cooperation with numerous par
ticipating groups.
The project was initiated last win
ter under sponsorship of the De-
fense Commission of the Washing
ton Federation of Churches but
has expanded until it now requires
more time and expense than the
Defense Commission is able to give.
Donald F. Bautz, director of the
Defense Commission, yesterday well
coined the new sponsorship, which
will make possible the continuation
of the project, and pledged that the
church group will cooperate in any
way it can
Headed by Miss King.
Miss Laura King, who was in active
charge of the project last year and
served as chairman of yesterdays
meeting, will continue as the wash
ington Welcomes You" director. An
executive committee will be ap-
pointed to act in an advisory capac-
ity in shaping the program for the
coming months.
The organizations that already
Evening star., 1943-10-13

have pledged cooperation. and
others that may wish to join in the
project, will present periodic Wash
ington Welcomes You" programs
Miss King said. These will be open
to the public. and will be arranged
to appeal especially to newcomers
In some cases, where facilities are
limited, the program may be open
only to specified groups.
Employe counselors Of various
Government agencies are to COOP
crate by publicizing the program
among employees they believe would
be particularly interested. Addi-
tional publicity is to be given the
programs through newspapers, radio
and in organization bulletins.
Special Week Planned.
Tentative plans also have been
drawn for Washington Welcomes
You Week" which would highlight
the year-round project. The De-
fense Commission of the Federation
of Churches originally planned to
direct this special observance, but
because of its small staff and the
expected community wide scope, it
has asked the Greater National Cap
ital Committee of the Board OF
Trade to undertake the sponsorship
So that it will not conflict with the

day season, the week probably will
be observed some time early next
