Community college entrance examinations scheduled for Saturdays may be taken on alternate days by Jewish students, the New Jersey Department of Higher Education stated here. Dr. Ralph A. Dungan, Department chancellor, told Rabbi Morris A. Shmidman. president of the Rabbinical Council of New Jersey, that “appropriate arrangements” would be made to assure that no youngster would be precluded from taking an entrance examination because of his or her observance of the Sabbath. “I am certain that every college will respond affirmatively,” he said.
