While the CEEB will remain a requirement for all applicants to the College, the American College Testing Program may "provide useful additional information" for evaluating students from areas of the country where it is difficult to gather a large amount of material, Dean Bender said.

The first move, ideally, would entail reduction of the numbers of workers employed in the College dining halls, against the undoubted opposition of the union.
