MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Thursday, March 10, 1960 A 7 Student Grades in College, High School Compared Corvallis For the past six years, the registrar at Oregon State college has charted the classroom performance of new freshmen and compared that record against high school grades. The study made by Dr. D. T. Ordeman shows "startling in dividual variations in per formance." On the average, college grades made by individual students are slightly m6re than One-half a grade point, Or letter, lower than those made in high school. Students who had a B average in high school, for example, make about a B minus or C plus average during their first year of college, Ordeman found. Averages "go out the win dow" in many cases, however, Ordeman noted.- This fall term, 323 of the 1,935 new freshman had grades that were better than their high school averages. Some of the 323 made remarkable gains, boosting their averages by a fullgrade point or letter over their high school record. Grades Go Down The other 1,612 freshmen saw their college grades go down from those of high school. In ,ome cases, stu dents who lad fine records in high schooAwent on proba tion their firs term at OSC because their virades fell be low the required C. average. Some of the udents may have made gooc grades so easily in high schoSl that they never really learned how to study, Dr. Ordeman believes. Others simply used their free time in college for things be sides studies. Determination and hard work will always be important factors in classroom performance, he pointed ftut, along with "brains." In the fall of 1958, the av erage freshman who camii to OSC had high school mirks that average just a fraction above B, Ordeman said. Half of them had ranked in the upper per cent of their grad uating classes. To enter OSC, Oregon high school graduates must have at least a C . av erage. Out-of-state students must rank in the upper half of their graduating class. 2-peed Eenmore Washes HDcuims or Sheers Safely!
