Program Expanded At Oregon State An important new feature has been added to the Oregon State Col lege superior student program that permits exceptionally able students to go "faster and farther" in col lege work. Beginning this coming year, the advanced placement program of the national College Entrance Ex ?'nation board will be used at OSC. This program permits high school seniors who pass the spe cial examinations to be placed in advanced classes in some depart ments and permits them to get college credit for college-level work now offered in some high schools. This year, 41 freshmen and 22 sophomores have made up the first honors degree group. Nichsla L. Lehrback of Roseburg, a freshman, was one of those selected. Plans to enlarge the superior stu dent program and to expand the honors degree program in science to include some 50 new freshmen were announced by President A. L. Strand. The school of science honors pro gram is a part of the superior stu dent plan. Under it, students do extra work such as special read ings, research and seminars, and take some special classes through out their college careers. At grad-"f''0.11- they will receive diplomas tnat Indicate honors in their specif ic jscience field. '"rte eligible for" the honors pro gram, a freshman must have rank ed near the top of his or her grad uating class and must have the recommendation of the high school principal or a science teacher. If the extra study load of the honors program proves too de manding, students may withdraw from the program at any time and fes"jne normal course schedules. At the same time, provisions are made for students who show ex ceptional ability to be added to. the program during the year.
