I. U. May Require Exam For Entrance BEDFORD, Ind. fUP I)—An Indiana University professor said Tuesday that entrance examina- ' tions may be required to enter that i stitution, unless there is a marked improvement in teaching in secondary and elementary schools. Dr. James Work, chairman of the Department of English, told the Bedford Kiwanis Club that entrance examinations have been discussed informally at all statesupported institutions in Indiana for several years. Work said most colleges and universities have required courses in English composition and since most of the failures among students are caused by the English Department, that department actually becomes the “admissions office.” He said I.U students take thousands of hours of English comp courses which “could be much better spent in more serious studies in higher education ” Work urged that more money be used to lighten the load of high school English teachers to permit time to carefully correct themes and then go over errors with the pupils. The implication was that if high schools could produce students more learned in English composition, the colleges and universities would not have to make that course a requirement. Nevertheless, Work said, Indiana high school graduates are not inferior. He said the six-year average of Indiana U. freshmen on aptitude tests upon entrance to the school is 50, exactly the national median. But he said reading ability and comprehension test grades ranged between 34 and 37 compared to a national median of 50 and grades on a test on knowledge of grammar, punctuation and vocabulary ringed from 28 to 35 against a national median of 50. Work said 10 per cent of all freshmen at Indiana leave after one semester, and an additional 19 per cent leave after the first year More than half leave because oi academic failures, he said.

They always carry their binoculars. ane watphed for the many biidSfc also visit the # yards' s'i ■ ■ > Revolutionary Veterans Mrs. Lochner explained that for many years she had suspected that Adams county’s only Revolutionary War veteran had gone AWOL during his term of service; however, she was finally able to prove that he was another Thomas Archbold, three of them having served in the Revolution. Archbold may not be the only Revolutionary War veteran, she surmised. A grave in the Loofbourrow, cemetery in Jefferson township contains the remains of an Emory who was old' enough to have served, and a DAR marker is on the grave of a woman buried beside him, who may have been his daughter, or granddaughter. And at Pleasant Mills an Edward Fuller, who was born in 1767, was also found. Mrs. Lochner suggested that everyone who had a chance should view the Fetzer monument in the Decatur cemetery; this monument includes information on the Fetzer family which goes back to the 1600’s. The names of such war of 1812 veterans as Daniel C. Pontius, L. Leisure, David Little, and Henry Martz were also mentioned.
