continued from page 9A
at Mac Court. “It’s going to be nice to
move on, but it’s not going to be
easy to leave here. This has been a
great home for two years.”
It’s a harsh realization when one
sees the ending near. Yet for every
ending, there’s a new beginning —
and Johnson can only hope his
next start is as successful as his
other 60.

continued from page 9A
Ducks want to assure themselves an
NCAA Tournament berth. Oregon is
18-7 overall and probably needs 20
wins to get an invite to March Madness.
“Twenty, to me, gives you num
bers,” Kent said. “It’s kind of a bench
mark. It’s just a positive number.”
The Ducks travel to Arizona,
where wins are never assured, next
week. Oregon has a 3-4 road record
in conference play and a 5-2 record at
home. The numbers tell the story:
The Ducks need to capitalize on this
weekend’s games to get to 20 wins.
And as if that wasn’t enough moti
vation, at least two players will be
playing with an extra push this
weekend. Seniors Robert Johnson
and Brian Helquist will be playing in
their final games at McArthur Court.
“It’s going to be tough,” Helquist
said. “It’s exciting because I’m mov
ing on, but it’s hard because it’s been
great here. We have a great fan base.
I’ve just had a blast.”
The seniors are just two links in
the Oregon chain, but it’s a chain that
will be broken when the Ducks take
the court tonight. The question, then,
remains. Gan the chain survive with
out a link? Oregon will find out.

Admissions
continued from page 1A
demonstrate their knowledge and
skills in six areas to gain admittance
to an OUS school, including visual
and performing arts, English, mathe
matics, science, second languages
and social science.
OUS hopes the new program will
measure readiness for college admis
sion, better prepare students for under
graduate coursework and decrease the
need for remediation in college. Since
PASS standards may be met using state
and national tests or classroom-based
assessments — such as career-related
experience or senior projects — the
program will give students the chance
to show their proficiency beyond their
SAT scores and GPA.
Last week, OUS released prelimi
nary results of a study showing that
students who perform well on 10th
grade benchmark tests are more likely
to be successful as college freshmen.
The study is significant because stu
dents can use the benchmark test to
fulfill PASS admission requirements
and because OUS plans to link PASS
standards with K-12 standards.

program, said the program is impor
tant because students typically don’t
know if they are proficient enough for
college until they get there.
“OUS is developing proficiency
based admission, which uses what
students know and can do instead of
seating hours or set amount of class
es,” she said. “We should really use the
measure that students come out of
high school with.”
Even though the PASS system has
not yet been fully implemented, the
University is encouraging college ap
plicants to include PASS evaluations
in their applications, which could give
them an advantage in receiving

University Admissions Director
Martha Pitts said if PASS standards
prove to be an accurate predictor of
how well students will do at the Univer
sity, it could help admissions officers
get a better idea about how well poten
tial students will perform if enrolled.
“Its validity as a predictive measure
is unsure,” she said. “It’s a difficult sit
uation to say PASS will predict better
(than other tests) because we just
don’t know yet.”
Pitts added that University admis
sions has been using PASS for several
years as one possible option to make
students qualified for admission. For in
stance, if a student doesn’t complete
four years of English in high school, he
or she could use PASS standards to
meet the requirement.
OUS spokeswoman Diane Saunders
said the State Board of Higher Educa
tion’s recent discussions on increased
enrollment standards has nothing to do
with the PASS program, but that the
two could potentially be related if the
board ever had to cap enrollment.
