Baltimore March 5 The University of Maryland may open its doors to all graduates of Maryland public high schools without entrance test requirements President H C Byrd said today At present only 48 to 52 per cent of the state's high school graduates are considered for admission to the university Entrance tests are required in borderline cases Byrd said resentment pressure and general bad feeling on the part of parents may force a relaxation of present entrance requirements The practice of admitting all high school graduates is common in other state universities Byrd said Such a policy would mean only that low-caliber students would meet scholastic obstacles later in their university careers rather than at the start The point to be gained is that everyone would be given an opportunity to show what he or she can do
