FOUR SUBJECTS FOR ENTRANCE
University Senate Alters Prescription CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night. Alterations in the prescription for the university entrance examination were made .by the Senate to provide that candidates must pass in four subjeets of the entrance examination, ineluding English, if this subject has not already heen passed for the school certificate. If this English test has been passed, any four other subjeets may be studied. The pro-chancellor, Sir James Ilight, as chairman of the Academic Board, said that since the changeover in the secondary school examinatians, candidates for university entrance had heen required to pass in three subjeets of the examination, and also to pass in two subjeets of the school certificate examination. This was not considered suffieient. The vice-chancellor, Sir Thomas Hunter, said this would help to make elear the distinction between the university entrance and the school certificate examination,' and greatly simplify matters for all. The Senate . approved the new requirement of four subjeets, but asked the Academic Board and the' Entrance Board to consider whether the standard required in English for the university entrance (30 per cent) was adequate.
