CLEPExam,
Winston-Salem State University
is giving adult students
the opportunity to prove that
all learning does not take
place in the classnxjm. A
recent policy change by the
school means they will now
accept the College Level
Examination Program's
(CLEP) General Examinations
in addition to the CLEP
Subject Examinations for up to
two years college credit.
Previously, the University
accepted only the Subject
Examinations.
The decision was made
because older students are
returning to college in record
numbers. Nationwide the
number of college students
between the ages of 25 and 29
has increased 72 per cent
since 1970. Those between 30
and 34 increased 108 per cent
in the same period. Many of
these mature people have,
through their occupational and
leisurb activities, acquired the
knowledge or skills imparted
in courses taught in the first
two years of college. CLEP
tests provide these individuals
with an opportunity to validate
their accomplishments and

It is unlikely that any one
individual will have acquired
the background necessary to
earn the entire 57 semester
hours available through these
tests. However, many people
should be able to pass one or
more of the five examinations
and thus reduce the time and
expense needed to fulfill
degree requirements.
Winston-Salem State will
administer the CLEP General
Examinations and Subject
Examinations periodically on
campus. For further information

The job situation, in
Winston-Salem and Forsyth
County is auiittie^better than it
has been, according to Grover
Teeter, director of the
Employment Secumy-CorrFmission.
Teeter recently said that
March was the biggest
placement month that the
ESC has had in almost 18
months.
44Last month, 400 people
were placed in jobs/' said
Teeter. 44We4re hoping that
this is an indication that things
are getting better."
"Although that doesn't
begin to account for everyone
who is out of work, at least
that's a beginning," he
stated.
Teeter also said that
unemployment claims had
been dropped by nearly 1,000
?persons.
However, the 1,000 drop in
claims include three counties
other than Forsyth. Those
counties are Stokes. Davie and

According to informed
sources, members of the
committee requested that the
mayor declare April 29, 1976
as Carl Russell Day. But,
according to sources, the
mayor would not because of a
requirement that the person
honored either be out of office
or dead. The Chronicle could
not reach the mayor at press
time for official comment.
