Admissimoicy may ammo mums

By EMILY MORSE
Staff Writer

The University's selective adinis
sions policy may appear lenient to
some. but several pr0spective fresh
men have been cut from l'iii\ersit_\
roles, according to administrators
and lugh school counselors

“We are talking about one out HI
six freshmen that won't be ac
cepted." said Donald Sands. asso
ciate vice chancellor for ill‘.l(lt‘llll\'
affairs.

John B Stephenson. special assis
tant to the chancellor for academic
development. said he was not sure
how many freshmen would be .ii
fected He estimated that lot: to too

freshmen fall under the new policy,
based on the number of freshmen
admitted in recent years.

The new policy will begin in Fall
1984 and will require incoming fresh-
men either to have an ACT score of
25 or better if their gradepoint aver-
age is between 20 and 2.49. or if
their A(‘T score is below 11. an over
age between 3.5and 4 0

Sands said the baSic standard is
not that high. but the idea behind
the policy is to admit only those stu-
dents who can survive at a college
lei el and not "flunk out,"

“e re not depriving anyone of
ligher education.” he said "They
can enter a community college and

make it. What we‘re really saying is
that the student should be able to
maintain a ‘C‘ average "

Sands said he hopes the policy's
effect WIII enable the University to
offer the majority of UK students a
better education, "However we hope
the average high school student is
not gomg to be frightened away." he
said

"We'll have to look at the long run

. whether we'll have an enrollment
drop that will hurt is." he said.
“But we hope in the future to have
more transfer students "

The new policy has been under
consideration for some time. Ste-
phenson said “If we are building to

ward excellence, it is a wise policy
toadopt."

In Lexington high schools, stu»
dents who failed to meet the policy's
standards are looking at the alterna-
tives.

Atha Dickenson, guidance counsel-
or at Lafayette High School. said.
“I‘ve been handing back ACT scores
this morning and I've already had
two who retook the test because
their ACT scores were below the pol-
icy's standards, And they still fell
short

"A lot of our kids would rather
stay in Lexmgton and always
thought they'd go to UK. and now
they have to look at the alternatives
like Lexmgton Technical Institute

which is gomg to become a commu-
mty college." Dickenson said

Bill Goodan, guidance counselor at
Henry Clay High School. expects the
policy to affect about 50 seniors
“I’ve found a few looking toward
Eastern.” he said "They're hurt
that they can't get in L'K and don't
want to tell their friends "

He said that while it is too late for
