Football cheering group
seeks members for Fall
An ASU student cheering group is marshaling its
energies and recruiting members in preparation for Sis
boom Bah time this Fail.
The Devils’ Disciples (no connection with the guys who
terrorize downtown Mill) has begun a drag-’em-in member­
ship drive and strategy planning sessions in hopes die Sun
Devils this year can be urged to even greater performances.
Guaranteed seating has been established in the stadiuni
for all home games, in die east bleachers, but a large group
turnout is necessary if those seats are to be good ones.
Allan Frazier,
executive manager of ASU’s
Associated Students, said, “It is the group’s hope that by co­
ordinating with the Spirit Squad the cheers will be more
rousing and appreciated than if die Disciples did not help out.
“You’ll see me out there, fat 'n sassy in my new Devil’s
Disciple« T-shirt.” An ex-officio organizer and early
participant, Frazier said die group hopes to garner at least

200 members for the first kickoff.
The T-shirt mentioned is provided each member at the
cost of $3. However, that fee also is to cover organizational
orponm»« and the cost of a team information handout to be
given group members at each game.
•• . .
Frazier said most group meetings will be held on
Saturdays with last minute reviews of die cheers the Spirit
Squad will be using. At that time any changes or suggestions
can be made.
. „
.. . ..
“The idea h**ind the Disciples is its concern that die
team deserves more recognition from the students attending
the games,” Frazier said.
’
“Hie activity is purely extracurricular, and is designed
with the hope it will in no way interfere with the student's
courses, but will provide added enjoyment of the fall football

scheduled for Aug. 25. Up-to-date information may be

For qualified students

ASU offers fast-credit exams
How many times have you heard students say, "Harumph! My
first two years in college were spent on idiot courses in
drudgery!” ?
Perhaps not often, in those exact words, a t any rate, but the
sentiment that fresh and soph years are exercises in boredom is a
widespread one.
Educators’ pronouncement that “background” courses are
necessary for a well-rounded education oftentimes is little comfort
to the student somnambulating through a required course such as
Clamdigging 101. ^
The time has come, however, when the person who knows it all
—or even a little bit of it all — can bypass port of the Coma Years’
curriculum and still get credit for it.
He or she can do so if qualified, through an innovative program
now going into full swing at ASU.
CLEP (College Level Examination Program) was begun by
the nationally oriented College Entrance Exam ination Board in
1965, but only recently in Arizona has it begun to come into its own/
The program is relatively simple in concept, entailing as it
does the award of college credit hours to a person who can pass a
written examination on college subjects.
The tests, both in general and specific areas, were designed by
college instructors for die CEEB. The exam forms and information
material then were distributed to test centers throughout the
country, including the one at ASU.
Dr. Joyce Foster, assistant to the academic vice president, aim

Dr. Joyce Foster
is chairman of the recently created Ad Hoc CLEP Committee
whose job is to adapt the national program to the University’s
format for maximum utilization.
CLEP is designed primarily for two types of people, according
to Dr. Foster, first being the gifted high school student who already
has knowledge comparable to that taught in college level clagaAs
Second is the type of person who has gone straight from high
school to work or the armed forces, but in the process has gained
life experience comparable to part of that gained at a college or
university.
The program also can be utilized, however, by students already
in college who have not completed more than 60 hours of study.
This is not to say that every freshman and sophomore on
campus should sede immediate salvation, for there are certain
limitations.
“I am not advocating that just any student take the exams,”
Dr. Foster said. “Especially if he’s not sure of himself. But for die
student with experience and knowledge filis is a marvelous
program, both financially and educationally.”
She suggested that the student who feds he might be gnniiflprt
seek further information from the University Testing Center,
Payne B-302, 965-3104.
CLEP, in brief, has examinations in two categories: “general”
and “subject”
The five tests under file “general” heading a re E ngndi
Composition, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and
Humanities. Somewhat similar to the ACT.
A person can take one test only, or he can take several. One test
costs $15; two or more tests are a flat $25. The cost «hen one
considers the $18 per credit hour now charged at ASU, is minimaL
If a person passes the test(s) the credit he receives goes toward
no specific course, but simply is counted as part or the 126 hours
now required for a bachelor’s degree.

“ general exam inations” test.
Answer is B.)

The “subject” examinations (now offered for more than 30
ASU courses) cost a straight $15 per, regardless of number taken.
They fall under the categories of Business, Social Sciences,
Sciences, Humanities, Mathemattc&qnd Education.
The examinations are conducted abthe University 12 times a
year, but the “subject” exams may not be repeated (should a
student foil) within one year, while the “general” exams may be
repeated only once within a year.
Further, tests may not be taken which duplicate credit pre­
viously earned at ASU, or which cover material more elementary
than that which the student already has covered.
Almost anyone can take file tests, student or not, but to reedve
credit for them he must be enrolled at the University.
One question that has arisen, however, is bow much credit
should be awarded for passing a CLEP examination. Test
materials which differe from those fought in courses here
obviously should be accorded different treatment.
Thus the creation of the committee which Dr. Foster (hairs. Its
members represent the colleges of liberal Arts, Busin««,
Engineering and Education.
One of their major concerns at the moment is obtaining copies
of examinations from the CEEB and subm itting them to
appropriate faculty members here for evaluation qf their compati­
bility with the ASU curriculum.
Their recommendations, before instituted, must be approved
by the Faculty Senate.
Because of the questions of equivalency and credit CLEP has
enjoyed only limited utilization in the p a st Twenty-three ASU
students took the exams in file last academic year, and a total of 387
credit hours were awarded.
Most of the credits were for lower division courses, since most
of the tests are in lower division areas, and the credit received
ranged from 3 to 32 hours per person.
