New Counseling To Aid Smarties' A new system of freshman counseling has been put in effect at the University this term. The new program will put more em phasis on devoting time to fresh men who have scored high on their entrance exams but have not been able to get good grades in school. In the past more of the em phasis of freshmen counseling has been on those who have not scored highly in their entrance exams. But fall term results this school year have proved that students in the high stanine group as well as those in the low class are in need of help in sev eral cases. Of the 763 men taking the freshmen entrance exams. 24 achieved the stanine rating of nine, which is the highest pos sible. Twenty eight others rank ed in the eight stanine group. Among 594 freshmen women. 22 were in the nine group and 29 scored in the eight class. Pre-Med Tests Planned for May Students wishing admission to medical schools in the. fall of 1956 are urged to take the med ical college admission test in May. More than 300 local centers Will give the tests, which may be taken Saturday, May 7, or Monday, October 31. The tests concern general scholastic abil ity, understanding of modern so ciety. and science achievement. According to the Educational Testing Service, no special prep aration other than a review of science subjects is necessary. As many medical schools se lect entering students early in the fall, the ETS stresses that the May tests be taken. The tests are required of applicants by almost every medical college throughout the country. All questions on the tests are of the objective type. Application forms, and a bul letin of information, which gives' details of registration, as well as sample questions, are avail able from pre-medical advisers or from Educational Testing Ser vice, 20 Nassau Street.

Seven others in the eight class had the ; same results. None of the 22 women in the top rank failed to make their : grades but one in the eight group j did run into GPA difficulties.
