IOWA CITY, Iowa (UPI) —
Students today are leavir*
high schools more poorly
prepared academically for
college than ever before,
according to a study of college
entrance test scores con-
ducted by the American
College Testing program
“The recently completed re-
search project provides ap-
parently conclusive evidence
that a national decline in test
scores is real and significant,"
said the ACT, which ad-
ministers one of two major
college entrance tests.
The ACT, in a statement
released Sunday, said the drop
Ls caused both by poorer high
school preparation and by a
change in the traditional
college-bound student.
Petition
Asks Beer
Sales Curb
OKIAHOMACITY (UPI) —
Beer sales would be prohibited
overnight and on Sunday at all
outlets under an initiative
petition filed Friday.
“No sales shall be permitted
between the hours of 2 a.m.
Sunday and 7 a.m. the
following Monday," says the
proposal filed by Rev Koss
McLennan, executive
secretary of Sooner Alcohol-
Narcotics Rducation i SANE).
The beer petition will be
circulated at the same tune as
one by a rival group seeking to
legalize sale of hquor by the
(kink
The proposed law would also
ban beer sales at any outlet
from midnight until 7 a.m. on
other days Beer may now be
sold around the clock for off-
premise consumption.
Present laws restrict tavern
sales between midnight and 7
a.m. except Saturday nights,
when the closing hour is ex-
tended until 2 a.m. and the
opening hour to 12 noon
Sunday.
The beer petition will
require only 64,386 signatures
since it would only change a
law Nearly twice as many
names will be required for the
drink petition, which is in the
form of a constitutional
amendment
Both conceivably could ap-
pear on the ballot at the same
election if they get the
necessary signatures and
clear any challenges in time
The SANE petition would
also:
- Ban beer sales at county
fairs;
- Restrict sales to anyone
under 21 i at present the legal
age is 21 for men and 18 for
women i;
- Restrict beer advertising
on the same basis as liquor;
- Double most license fees;
- Earmark two-thirds of
the beer tax to the state
general fund and one-thud to
cities.

Traffic Up
OKLAHOMA CITY-Ja
nuary traffic on Oklahoma
Turnpikes, comparable with
the same month last year
totaled 1,185.900 vehicles, an
increase of 77,200 or seven
percent. Turnpike Authority
Chief Engineer-Manager W.D
Hoback said Saturday
These comparisons do not
include traffic on the Indian
Nation or the Cimarron
Turnpikes, approxiamlely 31
miles of the Indian Nation
Turnpike were closed to all
traffic on Jan 15 due to
problems with the South
Canadian River bridge The
Cimarron Turnpike opened
May 16. 1975, and valid
comparison is not possible.
WICHITA. Kan (UPI) -
One of the recently separated
Siamese twin girls who is
being held by her father is safe
and in the city, a lawyer said
Saturday.
Chester I I-ewis, who repre-
sents relatives of Willie L.
Cates, said he had been in
continual telephone contact
with the 20-year-old father
through late Friday He said
he was sure both the father
and infant were safe.
Cates called the Wichita
Eagle Friday and said he
would deliver tha infant,
Millie Lula, to Wesley Medical
Center by 5:30 p.m. Hospital
and juvenile authorities
waited throughout the night,
but Cates never showed up
Lewis, who talked with
Cates from the hospital
several tunes, said he knew
the man was in the city and
was afraid, not of police, but
only of losing his daughters.
"He didn't show up for fear
of police or anything He
would have been allowed to
come in the hospital and
leave,” l>ewis said "He's
frightened he won’t see his
twins again."
Wichita police are looking
for Cates and the baby girl,
but have not issued a warrant
for his arrest
The other twin, Marie Anna,
was placed in the care of the
state Department of Social
and Rehabilitation Services
until a foster home can be
found
The ACT said the study
found the score decline varied
according to subject matter
and sex, is national in scope
and apparently is not simply a
result of reduced student
motivation
“The decline is based on too
many student records for it to
be due to random yearly
fluctuations," said l*o A.
Munday, who directed the
study
He said there is evidence to
support two major reasons for
the decline.
"We have a changed pool'
of students in college today,”
the report said. “Many more
students from the lower half of
their high school classes are
attending college, and these
new students have weaker
academic preparation than
traditional college students
The other reason is poorer
high school educating,
Munday said
"High school students are
academically weaker than
they were five or 10 years
ago," the report said “For
various reasons — including
greater use of electives,
lowering of teacher demands
and expectations, and
schooling directed relatively
more by students than
teachers - today's student
population leaves high school
and enters college or work
with less academic
preparation than previous
years' students "
The report noted results
from its ACT At—mini
testing program and the
Scholastic Aptitude Test,
which together are used by
atxAit 2 million college-bound
students
Tests In the ACT
Assessment provide scores in
four subject areas — English,
mathematics, social studies
and natural sciences - plus a
fifth composite score The
SAT provides one score each
for a verbal and math test.
Scares on the ACT Assess-
ment tests range from one to
36 and for the 10-year period
studied, the average com-
posite score declined 1.2
points SAT scores range from
200 to 800, and the combination
of that programs two test
scores declined 25 5 points for
the same period.
Other highlights included
Of the four ACT Assess-
ment tests, the most sub
stantial score decline was in
social studies, where the
decrease was 2.7 points, 20 6 to
17.9;
— There were lesser
declines in math (1.5 points i
and in English (1.1 points) and
a slight increase in the natural
sciences test score i from 20 4
to 20 6);
— The score decline has
been more pronounced for
females than for males The
average composite score for
males dropped 9 point while
the score for females
decreased by 1.6 points.
