Page 2 THE POLEMIC May 14, 1973 Applications for Admission at All-Time High Applications for admission to ACC for the 1973 fall semester are greater in num- ber than ever betore, according to Mr. Frank McCourt of the Student Services Office. "The ,)icture looks very good, in terms of applications," said Mr. Mccourt. "This is especially encouraging, since the major- ity of colleges and universities are exper- iencing declining application counts." The Student Services Office has been _ receiving an average of 40 applications per week. The number of students indicating a liberal arts major is larger than last year, and the number of applications received for applied arts and sciences has decreased. "Although the actual number of appli- cations for applied arts and ·sciences has decreased. we anticipate a proportionately larger enrollment of applicants, as last year's number was inflated by a large ' number of LPN (Licensed Practical Nurs- ing) applicants," said Mr. McCourt. Geographically speaking, the number of applications from the northeastern Michigan area has decreased slightly, while the number of applications from down- state and out-of-state has increased. The most popular programs, in terms of applications, are: LPN Program, Un- decided Liberal Arts, Business Administra- tion, and Forestry Technology. GRAIJING URGED FOR TEACHERS (CPS) -- A recent survey conducted by the Educational Testing Service indicates that college teachers should be graded the same as students. The survey questioned 400 instructors and their classes at five colleges. The stu- dents who participated in the survey com- plained that some teachers weren't con- cerned enough with student learning, and t at some eacfiers aren other viewpoints. Women Paid Less (CPS) -- Working women with only a high school education have at least one economic characteristic in comm.on with their college educated sisters -- their earn- ings are just about half that of their male counterparts. "Earnings by Occupation and Educa- tion," a 1970 census report, recently is- sued by the Bureau of Census, shows: ----Working women, 25-64, who com- pleted four years of high school, earned a median income of $5,067 in 1969, or 56 percent of the amount earned by men of equivalent age and education. ----Working women in the same age bracket with four years of college earned 55 percent of the median amount earned by college educated men -- $7,238 as com- pared to $13,103. ----Female private household workers . who finished four years of high school, earned about 37 percent of the amount earned by sim11drly educated private house- hold workers . ----Female "clerical and kindred work- ers" earned 63 percent of the amount earned by men. ----Women computer specialists with four years of high school earned $8,531, 75 percent of the $11,422 earned by com- parable men. Women computer specialists with four years of college earned $11,159, or 87 percent ot the $12,868 earned by college educated men computer specialists . ----The earnings of white women, 25-64 and with a high school education, was $5,106 as against $9,187 for white work- ing men. Black women in the same ed- ucational and age category earned $4,565 and black men, $7,041.

For instance, happening upon a scene that you feel would look spectacular in moonlight but the sun is shining and com- ing bacK when it's dark to expose a frame or two just isn't appealing or practical? Well, you can simulate moonlight in sunlight with the addition of natural den- sity filters (black and white film) or a blue No. 47 filter (color film) and deliberately underexposing the negative. The picture above was taken with no right of the camera. To emphasize the frost, the photographer took advantage of the light-intensity difference that is the white light of the frost versus the black of the branches by underexposing the frame and developing the print on high-contrast paper . One fortunate accident with this par- ticular print is the moon shaped sphere in the top center of the frame. Th is is not the sun, but the aperture image caused by not applying a lens shade before pressing the shutter. filters in daylight, with the sun off to the by Mark Patterson, POLEMIC Photographer "Crazy" College Student Is freed from Institution (CPS/ZNS) -- A Texas college student has been freed from a mental institution where he had been confined without a trial. The student, who was identified in legal papers only as "M. W.," had been confined purely on his father's allegation that he was crazy. The student was set free, how_- ever, when the American Civil Liberties Un ion proved that the only evidence of his insanity was that he spent last summer riding around the country on a motorcy- cle and that he had done some volunteer work on an Indian reservation. the MOD SHOP featuring Top & Bottoms in all shapes and sizes . . . 104 N.
