College level
exams available
through USAFI
The College-Level Examination
Program (CLEP) is available to
active duty personnel through the
United States Armed Forces Insti-
tute (USAFI).
The exams are designed as a
national system of placement and
credit at colleges and universi-
ties for people who have acquired
their education in non-tradition-
al ways.

Local Arrangements
Locally, PNSN Tom Parrish han-
dles the testing arrangements.
He is located in the Education
and Training office in the NavSta
Administration Building (752).
The telephone number is 2128.
The testing is done at the
convenience of the individual and
the test control monitor, and a
person interested in taking the
test can make an appointment with
Parrish.
Test forms are available at
local office, so there is
rry little delay in taking the
exams. The only test sheets not
available are those for re-exam-
inations; they are obtained from
USAFI in Madison, Wis.
There is no fee for taking the
exams, and anyone passing them
can receive credit for a variety
of college courses.
Test Composition
Examinations consist of two
categories - general and subject.
The general exams measure a-
chievement in the five basic
areas of liberal arts: English
composition, social sciences-his-
tory, natural sciences, humani-
ties and mathematics. The col-
lege-level subject exams are ba-
sically end-of-course tests for a
wide range of undergraduate cour-
ses. They measure understanding
and application of facts and con-
cepts taught in the courses.
Defense Department civilian
employees, their dependents and
military dependents are also eli-
gible to take the tests. But the
pcedure varies from that for
itary personnel.

High School yearbook award winner
The 1972 Aurora Borealis," Mahan High School's yearbook, has been
awarded second place in their division in the Columbia University
Scholastic Press Association Yearbook Critique and Contest. Over
1200 high school annuals were entered in the competition and were
judged for layout, content,
design and special considera-
tions .
The award cited the Borealis1
photography for special merit.
Jon Armbrust, the annual's chief
photographer, is primarily re-
sponsible for the book's pic-
tures .
The Columbia University con-
test rated the local yearbook's
cover as "excellent; the ad-
vertising section received a
"good;" and the last section of
the annual rated a "fantastic and
superb." The judges called the
Aurora Borealis "factual, memor-
able and honest—which today's
students expect."

rating goes to Linda Kelly, ed-
itor and photographer Armbrust
and staff members Sally Goetz,

Mary Kline, activities and lay-
out; Dawn Schuman and Cindy Hud-
