12 Law deans to explain test change
LSAT adds essay question
By BARBIE WOELFEL
Battalion Reporter
Effective June 1982, the Law
School Admission test, will no lon
ger cover mathematical skills or
objective grammatical skills.
'The test will still contain mul
tiple-choice questions, but stu
dents will be required to write an
essay on an assigned topic,” said
Dr. Hillary Jessup, undergradu
ate advisor in General Studies and
Pre-law Society advisor.
The essay will be sent directly
to the law schools where the stu
dent has applied without any prior
grading or commenting, he said.
Jessup said the LSAT scoring
scale also will be readjusted. Cur
rently, scores range between 200
and 800, but the new system will
score between 10 and 50. This
change is being made to discour
age the use of small score differ
ences to shape law school admis
sions decisions, she said.
“These changes were made pri
marily because of the 'truth and
testing’ law that requires test
questions and answers to be made
available to those who are ex
amined,” she said.
The Law School Admission
Council, an association of 171 law
schools, approved the changes.
Four law school deans will dis
cuss in detail these LSAT changes
at the Pre-Law Society meeting
Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in 145
MSC.
Representatives scheduled to
attend are: Robbie Hill from
Washington University in St.
Louis; Katherine Schwab from
Boston College Law School in
Boston; Diana Chabrier from New
York Law School in New York
City; and Noel Augustyn from
Loyola of New Orleans Law
School.
Jessup said Phi Delta Gamma,
an interdisciplinary w'omen s
organization designed to encour
age women to continue in higher
education, will sponsor a presen
tation concerning women in the
law profession by these same four
deans at noon Wednesday, in
137A MSC.
The deans will distribute litera
ture and talk with interested law'
school students. Representatives
from other law schools across the
United States also will be on hand
to talk about their programs.
“Since the number of students
applying for law school has de
creased as compared to years past,
these representatives hope to re
cruit and encourage students to
apply for law school,” Jessup said.
The next LSAT to be offered at
Texas A&M will be Dec. 5. The
deadline for registration in the
Academic Counseling Center is
Nov. 5.
Library teaching facilities are
available for students preparing
for the LSAT. ‘The taped lectures
and workbooks are designed to
help students understand the
main concepts covered in the
test,” Jessup said.

By JOHN BRAMBLETT
Battalion Reporter
The College of Engineering at
Texas A&M University will be
nefit from more than $530,000 in
donations from Exxon Corp. and
ARCO Oil and Gas Co.
The College of Engineering
wall receive $500,000 from Exxon
as a part of the corporation’s $15
million program to help engineer
ing colleges deal with a critical
shortage of faculty members.
An Exxon spokesman said a fel
lowship program w’as established
to aid faculty with doctoral de
grees or those in pursuit of them.
Texas A&M received two of 100
fellowship aids presented by the
corporation, he said.
A fellowship is financial aid of
$50,000 which can be given to stu
dents during their three years of
graduate studies.
The second part of Exxon’s
program is aimed at keeping
young scholars in the teaching
profession, the spokesman said.

The problem, he said, is that be
ginning engineering students can
make as much money as some pro
fessors.
Exxon is presenting the Univer
sity with four aw'ards worth
$100,000 each. The aw’ards will be
spread over a five-year period,
making each award worth $20,000
annually, the Exxon official said.
The six awards granted to the
University by Exxon are the most
received by any college or univer
sity, the official said. Exxon plans
to present 166 grants to universi
ties throughout the United States.
The University of Houston,
Rice University, the University of
Texas at Austin and Texas Tech
University also received grants
from Exxon.
Arco gave $38,175 to the
mechanical engineering depart
ment to purchase a tensile test
machine for the metallurgy labor
atory. The machine tests metals
for their basic properties.
Robert H. Page, dean of the
College of Engineering, said
ARCO’s gift symbolized industry’s
understanding and concern for the
problems college engineering de
partments face. “ARCO is setting
a good example,” Page said.
ARCO project engineer
Richard Urquhart, Class of ’78,
helped the mechanical en-
gineemg department get the
equipment. Urquhart received a
degree in mechanical en
gineering.
