According to today's NY Times article on the lawsuit against Georgia: "Athletes in football and basketball needed only a 400 S.A.T. score and the 2.0 grade-point average." That 400 is a TOTAL score, which is pretty amusing, since the minimum is 200. Pretty stringent requirements, don't you think???? Also, the University President said: "....Georgia would not raise its standards unless its opponents did. Georgia could not afford to 'disarm unilaterally'...." Ihor Kinal ihnp4!houxm!hropus!ijk P.S. Forgive me for not posting in net.jokes (some people might not see the humor in this).

Pretty stringent requirements, don't you think???? Note that 200 is the minimum score on EACH PART (of 2) of the SAT test. Thus, the minimum TOTAL score is 400 -- and that's jst being able to spell your name right! It is worth noting here that I am not from this state and am therefore not as embarassed as the rest of the "rednecks" that graduated from that cow-college across the state from me! :-) :-) { ================= } McAllister, Daniel Grear 1985 Football Basketball -------- ---------- Georgia Insitute of Technology, Tech 20 89 PO Box 33191 UGa 16 65 Atlanta Georgia, 30332 "Silence is Golden" WHAT?

Actually, if you turn in a blank answer sheet you'll get MORE than 400 total. Since points are subtracted for wrong answers, a blank sheet will be worth about 250-300 points or more per half, or 500-600 total.

Pretty stringent requirements, don't you think???? 200 is the minimun one can get from either the verbal or math part (if I remember correctly, it was a while back), so if I hand in a blank exam, then I automatically get 400 total points. Admission standard is not as important as graduation standard. Maybe ALL students (not just athletes) should pass a national proficiency exam to get a BA or BS.

Actually, you need to fill in at least one answer in each section, since a score of 200 is given for any section left completely blank. Thus, filling in one question (right or wrong) raises your score about 50-100 points. -- David Albert ihnp4!seismo!harvard!albert (albert@harvard.HARVARD.EDU)
