Provincial Exams No Longer Required For Entrance To University Prince Edward island
“Atlantic Board” exams, bugaboo of . every grade 12 student, are no longer requir- ed for entrance to the Univer- sity of Prince Edward Island.
The death knell of the Board examinations, regard- ed by many educators to be an anacronism, was sounded at the University Sen ate

Students who have already taken these examinations will still be allowed admission if they have the required aver- age of 60% in six subjects, including English and Mathe- matics.

BACH TO EACH
A poll taken at 8:33 pm. last Sunday night revealed that “Switched-On Each” was the overwhelming favor- iet (by a 2 to 1 majority) of the records played on the old HP at The CADRE office, 285 Kent St.
\ Runners-up this week were “Blind Faith” and Johnny Winters’ “Progressive Blues Experiment.”

passed a motion that special entrance examinations, to be set up by the University or under systems used by other universities, will be used in place of the APEB exams.
It is felt that this step will be a great improvement over the old system of examina-

Progress Is Our Most Important Product
NEW YORK (LNS) — Some 2.6 million 500-lb. bombs have been dropped on the territory of South Viet- nam, each leaving a crater
about 40 feet wide and 35 ‘
feet deep. That’s one crater for every six people in the country.
The observation was made by Dr. Egbert W. Pfeiffer, professor of oology at the University of Montana, who went to Vietnam to study deL fol'iation.
Pfeiffer, who defended the use of defoliants on military grounds, noted that the che~ micals are devastating the country. In a 65-mile river- boat trip from Saigon to the sea, Pfeiffer saw “scarcely. . . a living plant” and he said that only fish-eating birds survive.

Department of Education ra- ther than by the university.
It is felt by some individ- uals that the Board examina- tions should be completely abolished in the Atlantic Re- gion, as they feel they are redundant, poorly coordinat- ed with school curricula, and have the effect of down- grading the high-school dip- loma to second—class status.
It is also said that Provin- cial Board examinations are poorly coordinated with edu-
cational systems of o t h e r ‘
provinces, and that students transferring to other provin- ces sometimes have trouble getting their credit accepted by educational institutions.
Some feel that Board ex- ams are ridiculous, in that Provincial Education depart- ments go to considerable trouble and expense to set up curricula, certify qualified teachers, employ special sup- ervisors to- ensure that Pro— vincial standards are being adhered to by different high schools, and require that tea- chers undertake certain mea- sures to ensure that stand- ards will be maintained, and
then, after all this double- checking, set up a special standards check in the form of a special examination.
Students have stated that “Provincials” have often led to lower scores simply be- cause it was extremely bor- ing and fatiguing to study the same thing over again just after completing a bar- rage of exams for their high- school diploma. Many have said that they would like only one set examinations- for matriculation purposes, either given at the school or a set of examinations set by the government without prior grade 12 school examinations.
It is felt that the old sys- tem of examinations may be harmful to many students in an academic sense, as it im- plies the downgrading of the high school diploma and im— plies that they have not been successful in grade 12, even if their marks have been high. Students have been pointed out that have achiev- ed grade 12 standing who are still full-time students in that grade and who must again qualify and write Board ex- ams over again.
STUDENT SENATORS WIN OPEN SENATE MEETINGS
The. first formal meeting of the University of Prince Edward Island Senate was held October 14 at Montgom- ery Hall. President R. J .3 Bak- er presided.
Shortly after the meeting opened at 7:00 p.m., student senators Reg Bhalen and Richard Montigny made their first motions as new student senators to have all Senate
meetings open to anyone who
wished to attend;
The motion was carried, but not until after“ an amend- ment by Terence Ross which stated “Subject to the condi-
tion that Senate can resolve itself into a committee on a two-thirds majority vote of members present”, was in- gorporated into the main mo- 1011.
It was also decided that the Senate should meet twice- monthly, and that Professor John Smith and Dr. Roy Campbell would be the two Senate members on the Uni- versity Board of Governors. Student nominee Dennis Mac- Kay lost the nomination for Senate representative on the Board of Governors on the first ballot.
