Equivalency Tests:
By PAT SADBERRY
The credit-by-examination prog
ram at Texas A&M University pro
vides an outlet for students who have
acquired skills and knowledge equi
valent to those gained by taking a
college-level course.
“A&M’s credit-by-examination
program recognizes a student’s indi
vidual achievements,” said Auston
Kerley, director of the A&M
Academic Counseling Center.
The student is awarded for his
scholarship — reading, research,
correspondence work, or other edu
cational experiences, Kerley said.
The student who is already enrol
led at A&M can gain credit in any
course through departmental
examinations or he may use the Col
lege Level Examination Program,
which gives credit in selected
courses.
In order to become eligible for a
departmental examination a student
must be granted permission from his
academic dean.
The student must present a writ
ten petition, explaining how he re
ceived competence in the course,
and briefly stating the extent of his
competence.
Upon receiving approval, the stu
dent must pay the exam fee of $15 at
the University Fiscal Office.
The exam fee receipt from the fis
cal office and the written petition are
taken to the head of the department
in which the course is listed. There
the student is advised of the time
and location of the test.
Departmental examinations are
usually given once each semester
and once each summer. The dates
are set by the individual depart
ment.
The department has no obligation
to return tests to the student or go
Credit by examination provides way for studen
to be recognized for individual achievements

request, however, the department
will give the student his test results.
It is the responsibility of the de
partment to notify the registrar’s of
fice that the student is receiving cre
dit for a course.
The departmental examinations
cannot be taken for courses in which
the student is enrolled, nor can de
partmental examinations be given
for courses the student has failed.
The College Level Examination
Program offers the student academic
credit in selected subjects.
“A&M does not offer credit for
general examinations, which are de
signed to measure broad academic
exposure in major fields of study,’’
Kerley said.
Subject examinations are offered
in biology 113; chemistry 101 and
102; economics 203, 204 and 311;
English 103, 104 and 203; history
101, 102, 105 and 106; management
105; math 102, 103 and 121; political
science 206; sociology 205; and com
puter science 201 and 203.
College-Level examinations,
given the third week in each month,
may be repeated after six months at
$20 per test.
Students performing successfully
on College-Level examinations and
departmental examinations receive
semester hours of credit without a
specific letter grade.
By taking advantage of the
credit-by-examination program, a
large number of students at Texas
A&M are saving time, which is valu
able to the student, their families
and the university, said John C. Cal

“Last year 3,046 students re
ceived credit by examinahon in at
least one course, ” Calhoun said. One
A&M student earned 20 credits
through the examination program,
he said.
Students who plan to enter A&M
as freshmen can earn credit through
departmental examinations, the Ad
vanced Placement Program and the
College Level Examination Program
of the College Entrance Examina
tion Board.
Eligibility for taking a departmen
tal examination depends on the
scores received in particular areas of
the various entrance examinations.
For example, to be eligible to take
a departmental test in chemistry, a
new student must score 600 or more
on the math portion of the Scholastic
Aptitude Test and 550 or more on
the Math Level I Achievement Test.
Students should consult their high
school counselors for information on
registration and testing centers for
the Advanced Placement Testing
Program.
College Level Examinations for
freshmen have the same guidelines
as enrolled students.
Entering freshmen may earn cre
dit by examination in animal science,
biology, chemistry, English, geol
ogy, history, mathematics, modern
languages, physics and political sci
ence.
All departmental examinations are
offered to entering freshmen free,
with the exception of American Na
tional Government. Advanced
Placement tests are $29 each and
College-Level Examinations are $20
each.

“Quality First’’
“Texas A&M has found that the
key elements of our credit-by-
examination program are communi
cation, involvement and validity,”
Auston Kerley said.
Communication helps to gain the
support of the faculty and staff, he
said. Without a full understanding of
the credit-by-examination program,
Kerley said, the philosophy of the
program may be misinterpreted.
“The program must be viewed as a
resource available to the university
to provide the best education to the
largest number of students at the
IRl
tene
lowest cost.
“Involvement in the program
plies that all those concerned*
the administration of such a progi
be included in the policy-malt
structure,” he said.
Without this kind of involveme
he said, there would be little hopt non
ever testing the validity of
credit-by-examination program.
The persons best equipped

course are those persons whop! ^

TRENTON, N.J. — “This is the
decision we have been praying for,’’
said Julia Quinlan after learning her
22-year-old comatose daughter may
be allowed to begin the natural pro
cess of dying.
The New Jersey Supreme Court
ruled Wednesday the mechanical
respirator keeping Karen Anne
Quinlan alive for nearly a year in a
“vegetative state” could be removed

The state attorney general’s office

to the U. S. Supreme Court, the only
avenue of appeal. The Quinlans said
they would give the state time to

The Quinlans, flanked by three
Roman Catholic priests at their
parish church in Mount Arlington,
sat calmly and faced a room full of
reporters on Wednesday night.
They discussed the court’s decision
that their daughter and others who
are beyond medical restoration have
a right to die, based on the constitu
tional protection of personal privacy.
Two days earlier, they had ob
served their daughter’s 22nd birth
day at a private Mass.
The Quinlans said their daughter’s
condition has not changed since last
October, when one doctor said she
was in “a persistent vegetative
state.”
State Atty. Gen. William F. Hy
land said he has never opposed ap
pointment of Quinlan as his daugh
ter’s guardian “as long as there were
adequate safeguards imposed by the
courts on his powers. I think the de
cision accomplished this.”
Morris County Prosecutor Donald
G. Collester, who also opposed the
Quinlans, said, “I am freed now from
prosecuting people who act with
mercy and love in accordance with
the Supreme Court’s standards.”
In its landmark decision, the court
rejected the Quinlans’ contentions
that constitutional protections of
freedom of religion and against cruel
and unusual punishment provided a
basis for ruling in their favor.
In an opinion written by Chief Jus
tice Richard J. Hughes, the justices
said that doctors claimed removing
Miss Quinlan from the respirator
conflicts with their professional
judgment, but they agreed with her
father that the apparatus “at best can
