New Method For Admissions

is necessary to look at sex not
simply as an act, but as an as
pect of relating. To do this, we
must be able to communicate much
more freely than we do.
Sex must be thought of as a
relationship. A relationship is a
growing thing to which someone
must give some emotional invest
ment. Dr. Kirkendall presented
an outline depicting the growth of
a relationship. At the head was

Lewisburg, Pa. (I.P.) - How does
a college admissions staff select
a freshman class of approximately
700 students from among 4,500
applicants? At Bucknell Univer
sity a system is currently being
used which has eliminated hun
dreds of hours of paper work
and eased somewhat the selec
tion task of the admissions direc
tor, Fitz R. Walling, and his three
assistants.
This program, which was set
up with the cooperation of the
University’s computing center, in
volves the use of an admissions
information retrieval system and
is designed for a medium-sized
school which emphasizes indivi
dual attention.
This system, which employs
machine recognizable records of
the College Entrance Examination
Board and College Scholar
ship Service and some specially
designed forms, provides a mana
geable record for use by the Uni
versity’s admissions staff.
The program operates, briefly,
in this manner. When a completed
application is received in Buck-
neU’s admissions office it is kept
there, but a sheet containing basic
data on the applicant is sent to
the University’s data processing
center for the purpose of making
punch cards, a receipt for the
application fee and a label for the
applicant’s master folder. The
punched cards are then sent to
the Computer Center for storage
on the admissions disk.
Throughout the tall and winter
additional information is entered
into the student’s tile on the disk.
This includes material taken from
the secondary school transcript
when it arrives in the Admissions
Office, information gathered dur
ing a personal or group interview
or a visit to the campus. College
Board scores and financial aid
data.
Midway through the winter the
admissions office begins to re
ceive weekly specialized charts
from the computer center. These
show such things as the number
of applicants to each of Buck-
nell’s 18 degree programs, mean
aptitude scores of the applicants,
percentage of applicants in the
top fifth of their high school
classes,a geographical breakdown
of the applicants, and a listing
of Coilege Board scores in fifty
point ranges.
There are also charts to indi
cate applicants who are children
of alumni, and those which point
out particular interests or
achievements of the high school
seniors.
Any information contained on the
disk may be changed or updated
at any time by introducing
a punched card containing the new
data. The material stores on the
disks is used to print labels for
mailings to students who have
been accepted.
New and highly useful charts
are also prepared for the admis
sions staff. Of particular interest
to many other departments in the
University are lists of special
interests and activities of the stu
dents who have been accepted.
Departments may use these to en
courage individuals they are in
terested in to accept Bucknell’s
offer of admission.
Bucknell’s system is one of
the most sophisticated of its type
of computer program tor use by
their admissions offices. A more
ideal system than Bucknell’s is
possible, but the University’s ad
mission staff is quite happy with
the present program, and the slight
increase in filing necessitated by
the production of master sheets
for each applicant is more than
compensated for by increased

tional expression, emotional ij.

These are the things which builj
a meaningful relationship.
Dr. Kirkendall gave many ex-
amples during his lecture which
brought the audience closer to the
ideas that he was presenting. His
purpose was not to change the ideas
of those listening, but to try to
bring into perspective all the dif.
ferent and outdated ideas about
sex today.
