Melissa Blount, 13, of St Louis is one of only 200 young women in the country who qualified to plav in “Seventeen Magazine's Tennis Tournament of Champion^'' The tourna ment will be held May 12-16 in Merrifield, Va. It is the first tournament in tennis history that will feature four champions from every state. Arthur Lynch Is A ~ Confirmed Bachelor by Abigail L. Flanders Post Staff Writer E 'er wonder what’s behind the suave, self-confident, sophisticated look of a con firmed bachelor: Perhaps it’s his surge toward abso lute and total freedom.. .the freedom to be non-commi tal in social situations...the freedom to enter and leave a relationship without be ing bound by emotional or physical responsibilities... _ the freedom to respond to his job without limiting the time that he must put in it. Arthur Lynch, Associate Di rector for the Multi-Media Workshop, seems to define his bachelorhood in this way. The young, handsome, and ambi tious Mr. Lynch seemingly has only one commitment at this time, and that is to do his job at the workshop. “In an average day, I see anywhere from 20 to 30 students individ ually...So you can see, my life style does not accomodate a wife, "I’m married to my job,” said Mr. Lynch in his deeply rich bass voice. Arthur Lynch has married aim uivuiceu many jODS in ms 28 years of life. After his graduation from Charlotte Catholic High School, he work ed at Mercy Hospital for two years; one year as the Assis tant Supervisor of X-rays and the other year as Supervisor of X-rays, he later worked with market feasibiltiy for the Pro gress Association for Econom ic Development, an organiza tion formed to help Black bus inesses in upgrading their markets...From there, he went to Central Piedmont Community College and took various courses in communic ation and began doing free lance television production for WTV1, WRET and WBTV tele vision stations. He later did production and reporting on a limitied basis for WG1V station. Utilizing his many years of production ex perience in the media, Mr. Lynch went to the Multi-Media Workshop to teach young teen agers skills in television pro duction. Five months later, he became the Associate Direc tor for the Multi-Media Work shop. His success in each of the jobs that he has held is phenomenal. Mr. Lynch rela tes his success in his work to fiis bachelorhood. "Overall, being a bachelor has helped me because 1 can do the things I want to do. I have had more time to devote to my work because I did not have the responsibility of making time for one particular woman," he said, Although he admits to being enf»aged once six years ago, Art Lynch appears to seek less formal types of relationships for social as well as business reasons. "I enjoy social pro gress and the only way to pro gress socially is to be free to meet and date a number of different people. Married men are not able to do this without being stigmatized," Mr. Lynch said, “I guess I am a non conformist. I believe in people doing what they want to do. 1 am not possessive or jealous of the people I date. I don’t worry about who they are with when they are not with me. I just enjoy them when we are together." If Utjopia means being a confirmed bachelor who is successful in his work, then surely Art Lynch has found his Utopia...However, one wise old philosopher once said something that should serve as a message to all people who are confirmed in their beliefs: ‘ Don't knock it until you’ve tried it.” Barber-Scotia To Hear Smith Choir Thursday The Johnson C.

Participating institutions received the sur vey results last week. Funded by the College Bo ard, the study was overseen by a steering committee ap pointed by the Commission on Educational Credit (CEC) of the American Council on Ed ucation and conducted by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) of Princeton, New Jer sey. CLEP is a national program of the Cojlege Board which allows people, young and old, to receive college credit by examination for what they know no matter how they le arned it. The CLEP program included both General and Subject Examinations. The CLEP General Examinations r measure undergraduate achi evement in five basic areas of liberal arts (English compo sition, mathematics, natural sciences, humanities, and soc ial- sciences history). The 44 Subject Examinations mea sure knowledge in specific course examinations. Since CLEP was launched nationally in 1968, nearly 300, 000 individuals have taken CLEP examinations at about 900 national test centers on college campuses, and some 1.200,000 people have taken the exams through the armed for ces. About 1,800 colleges and universities throughout the country will award credit on the basis of the CLEP exams. The policies of these institu tions are listed in a book recently published by the Col lege Board Entitled "College Placement and Credit by Ex amination, 1975.” Highlights of the survey in clude the following: The majority of institutions will consider awarding CLEP credit to any student, provided he or she is enrol led in the institution. The typical institution a wards credit to 74 percent of the students who submit scores. All of the institutions that ' had done totlow-up studies vii aiuucms wno naa own awarded college credit through CLEP found that such students subsequently earn grades equal to or bet ter than other students. There was a surprising de gree of consensus among the institutions with respect to the level of performance ex pected by colleges Awarding credit, with over half of the institutions setting cutting scores between 481 and 500. Seventy-five percent said that all or most of the stu dents earning credit were full-time. WHO CAN GET CREDIT With respect to institutional practices, the majority of in stitutions will consider award ing CLEP credit to any stu dent provided he or she is enrolled in the institution. Nin ety-six percent of the colleges and universities said that any high school graduate is eligi ble to earn credit through the General Examinations; only four percent require that a student be out of school a minimum number of years (generally two); and only 25 percent require that a specific number of college courses be completed before credit can be posted on a student's re cord. HOW CREDIT IS AWARDED A variety of methods are used for awarding credit on the General Examinations. A bout 86 percent of the institu tions apply the credit toward the satisfaction of a particular course requirement. Thirty eight percent of the colleges and universities apply credit toward area or “distribution” requirements without particu lar course designation as their most frequent method. Only seven percent designate free electives as the principal ap proach to granting credit. SETTING CUTTING SCORES The methods of determining cutting scores for granting credit varied from institution to institution. About half of the colleges, however, used the national norms in setting their cutting scores for the General Examinations. There was a surprising degree of consen sus among the institutions with respect to the level of performance expected by col leges awarding credit. For each examination, over half of the institutions have set their cutting scores between 481 and 500. Fifty-one percent (270 col leges) said that more than one procedure is used to set cut ting scores; 11 percent said their institutions have no cent ral policy but let departments set their own standards. Other methods for establishing cut ting scores include: faculty review of tests, local norming r ■ studies, the standards of com parable institutions, and the American Council on Educa tion’s recommendatioq of a 25th percentile cutting score.
