Found: Way to cut lA off your child's college costs By Patricia McCormack UPI Education Editor NEW YORK - There is no magic to eutting one-fourth off a college tuition bill and, at the sarrre time, reducing the time for a bachelor's degree. The shortcut is plunging into col lege-level courses while in high school. The special units are offered in an Advanced Placement (AP) program sponsored by the College Board. Smart kids and their families al ready are tuned into the program. They know it offers an opportunity to enter college with a pocketful of credits toward a degree. When the collection of AP certifi cations is large enough, a student may get a whole year's worth of college credits at entry, depending on the school's policy. Shaving a year off a four-year road to a bache lor's cuts the tuition bill for the degree 25 percent. The same for room and board. No small deal. The biggest college costs in history are.in effect across the nation. Paring one-fourth off a $50,000 bill for a bachelor's degree means $12,500 less in loans and fam ily contributions. Students get a green light on col lege credit by taking Advanced Placement exams. At present, one or more course descriptions, exami nations and sets of curricular mate rials are available in art, biology, chemistry and computer science. Also available are credits in En glish, French, German, history, Latin, mathematics, music, phys ics, and Spanish. The program, in its 29th year, each year draws increasing num bers of students, the College Board says in "The AP Yearbook, 1984." The Advanced Placement Exams -- or, in studio art, evaluations -- are offered throughout the world each May. No examination is longer than three hours; some are shorter. They are administered at partici pating schools or at multischool centers. Exams contain either an essay or problem-solving section and another section consisting of multiple-choice questions. Tests are graded on a five point scale from "extremely well quali fied" to "no recommendation." Participating colleges grant cred it and appropriate placement to stu dents who have done well on the examinations. At Yale, for exam ple, the policy usually is to wait until the freshman year is completed. If the student has done well in that year, advanced placement credits make it possible to advance to junior standing, skipping the sophomore year. This month advanced placement grades are going out to students, their secondary schools, and the col leges they are entering. All colleges do not follow the same or even similar procedures upon receipt of Advanced Place ment Examination grades, the Col lege Board says. "Many colleges grant credit and placement automatically for quali fying work on the examinations; some grant either placement or credit only; others are still estab lishing their policies." Highlights of the Advanced Place ment Report: --In May 1984, some 177,000 stu dents took AP exams. That's up 12 percent over the 1983 number and 191 percent over the number of can didates a decade ago. --The number of schools offering the Advanced Placement Program to its students increased by 446 over the year before, a record one-year growth in secondary school partici pation since the program began. The once experimental program with just 104 schools participating attracted students in 6,272 schools (76 percent public; 24 percent non public) in 1984. That was up 8 per cent over the previous year. -239,666 Advanced Placement Examinations were administered during the year, up 13 percent over the previous year. --The number of Advanced Place ment Exams taken by students has more than tripled during the past 10 years, and has increased by more than 70 percent. --Popular subject areas: English, history, mathematics and computer science; sciences, foreign lan guages, art and music -- in that order.

Route 47, Woodstock, ILL. 815-338-6454 Guru lays it on line United Press International NEW YORK - Guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh says he is the rich man's guru and considers God the "greatest lie invented by man." Rajneesh. who rarely speaks, even to his followers, granted an interview to ABC's "Good Morning, America" at his controversial colo ny in central Oregon and denied reports about orgies among his fol lowers. He said reports of huge a r m s c a c h e s a l s o w e r e exaggerated. "Yes, I believe in free sex," Raj neesh said. "I believe that sex is everybody's birthright. It is fun. There is nothing serious about it. No orgies are happening here but I'm not prohibiting them. It is up to the people. If they feel like having an orgy-- so far so good." Rajneesh, 53, defended his wealth and fleet of Rolls-Royces -- many of them given to him by his followers -- and dismissed the interviewer's suggestion that the wealth could be used to help the poor. "All of the other religions are doing that," he said. "Let them do that -- their work. Let me do my work. All of the religions are look ing after the poor. At least leave me alone to look after the rich. I am the rich man's guru." Rajneesh said he innately knew that he was enlightened but did not consider himself God. "When you are sick, you know," he said. "I was full of it (enlighen- ment). I was it. And since then, not for a single night have I been otherwise.
