There is little doubt that as the £Tl p , rogress a col 'ege education will be increasingly more difficult to acquire. The demand for .college graduates in teaching, in the field of industry and science, etc., increases but the possibility decreases. The picture which faces New York state in the next few years is typical of the situation throughout the United States. At the present time there are ap- proximately 120,000 pupils in New York state colleges. By 1970 this will jump to over 225,000. In just about two years the number will be as high as 150,000. Although prepara- tions are being made to help place this increased enrollment, it will be physically impossible to take care of all pupils who desire a college educa- tion. Recently one of the leading col- leges in the United States wrote of its inner workings of its admissions department. The result of this re- port indicates that that college will be taking only about the upper two per cent of high school graduates. Their figures were that out of 1,000 applicants, only 189 were admitted last year. This means almost 800 students in the top two per cent of their class, with Princeton scores above 600, would have to seek another college. The admissions of- fices are relying more and more on academic standings and recommen- dations than ever before. The general trend in New York state is to increase the two-year junior colleges, which will again act as a further sifting for transfer stu- dents who will go on for a college degree. More than 204 colleges are now using outside agencies as a test- ing means for eliminating applicants. Another 200 suggest to their appli- cants that they take the College Boards. There seems to be a trend away from the so-called well bal- anced man. In the past, the well balanced man was considered highly by the admissions offices. Today, there seems to be a stronger stress on the importance of a strong aca- demic record. This was brought out by 500 admissions directors, college deans, university presidents and other administrators at the annual conference of the College Entrance Examination Board. The final an- alysis led the group to record five major points which they listed as important in gaining admission to colleges today. 1) 'High school grades and rank SECTION TWO — PAGE THREB ENGLISH FORD — Consul Mark II, one of the family of English Fords, recently roadt9#d for » Spar k Plug.\. This six-passenger sedan may well be the star of the Ford line. Shirley Davis .went along for the ride — also Mrs. Davis (in the car). in class. 2) Scores on the College En- trance Examination Board tests, or scores on other tests when the C. E. B. is not used. 3) Recommendations by the high school principal or the school guid- ance director. 4) Personal interviews of the candidates by the admissions di- rectors or deans. 5) Extra-curricular activities of the candidates in high school. Number five on this list was usually No. 1 or No. 2 in the past. It is of extreme importance that parents and high school personnel be aware of the increasing importance of academic marks each year of the pupil's career. Parents should not wait for the last few years before they investigate the marks and po- tentials o£ their children, but should make this a year by year interest. SPARK PLUG Do you think that you are safe while driving 40 to 50 miles per hour on the open highway? Not neces- sarily, says the Institute for Safer Living of the American Mutual Li- ability Insurance Company. Studies of accident records indicate that near- ly 25 per cent of all rural traffic deaths occur in this speed bracket. Enterprise ads pay — try them.

ANTHONY SWTH Dekar, N. Y. By Vern Davis WE DRIVE THE ENGLISH FORD We had the pleasure recently of driving a new English Ford, through the cooperation of genial Ron Petrie, manager of English Ford sales at Jar- rett Motors, Albany. Our test car was the four-door Con- sul, a roomy family sedan powered by a turdy 59 HP 4-cylinder motor of 103.9 cu. in. displacement (1702 cc). Since the car was quite new, we con- fined our testing to a relatively light shopping tour. The car had very sur- prising agility and response for its size and horsepower, and for all nor- mal driving requirements cornered very well. Its steering was precise and gave us a feeling of good control at all times. While my personal preference in 4- cylinder cars is the 4-speed floor shift, the \Missus\ was 100 percent for the Consul's 3-speed standard steering col- umn shift. This enabled our eight- year-old to sit in the front seat in the middle; she cast her vote with Mo- ther and I was outvoted. However, we all agreed that the heater was ex- cellent, and the spacious parcel tray was a nice bonus. We were favorably impressed with the paint, upholstery and general fin- ish. The spacious trunk space of over 18 cu. ft. makes this an ideal family car. For those unfamiliar with these foreign cars, the English Fords have used 12-volt electrical systems for many years, and for those who are concerned about service, the standard American thread nuts and bolts mean a great deal when you drive in to a garage for repairs. The engine and rpad noise level was much less than anHther high perforrn 1 -; .ance import,,, we recently disposed of! .Well, we'liked it very much, and for $2095 delivered in Albany it appears to be well worth investigating. - We hope to take one of the smaller Prefects or Anglins out for a \real go\ when a demonstrator with sufficient mileage is available. Ed Brody of Albany, a Consul own- er for several years, told us that he is very happy with his Ford. He men- tioned that his gas mileage on trips averages 29 to 30 miles per gallon, and 20 to 21 in city driving. For the budget minded family this can be a potent factor. ..^ Luella Burwell, Rallymaster of the Hilltoppers' November event, announc- ed that Ray and Gladys Gaul of Voor- heesville \did it again.\ They won first place. William Hoover and Al Witter of Altamont were second, and Ross Christie and Roly Heacox of Gal^ lupville were third. All but one of the 22 contestants finished. (Oh, shame on me!)

These other cars have been lowered sbnlei but still seem high and boxy by comparison. A « w ,few v are \catching on\ to fins, but they're years from \catching up.\ And the air suspension offered by some cars (at well over $100 extra) can't compare with the sway-free, dip-free ride of Dodge Torsion-Aire (standard equipment on all models).
