People who are curious about their
intelligence level might want to con
sider taking the Mensa Test April 28.
Each year, Mensa gives a set of two
multiple-choice, written intelligence
tests, consisting of the Cattell test and
the California Adult Development test.
Anyone scoring in the top 93 percent i3
then eligible for membership in Mensa,
a high-1 Q society, said Jack Wunder
lich, proctor of the test.
The tests are sent to New York for
scoring, then returned by mail to the
participant. It's all completely confi
dential, said Jerry Baugh, a four-year
member and past Mensa president.
Those with qualifying scores will be
invited to join Mensa, Baugh said. The
invitation explains the yearly mem
bership dues which are $30 for non
students and $15 for full-time stu
dents. From the general population, one
out of every 50 people usually qualifies
for Mensa, Baugh said. However, he
said, that includes all levels of in-

Those in Lincoln who have taken the
test have had a higher success rate,
Baugh said. About 75 percent quali
fied, he said.
Mensa is a national organization
consisting of 150 local groups, Baugh
said. Lincoln, with 80 members, has
one of the smaller chapters, he said.
Members of Lincoln's Mensa group
range from 18-year-olds to 70-year-olds.
Membership is about 60 percent
male and 40 percent female, Baugh
said. There are people from varied
walks of life in the group. However,
there are few students and no profes
sors, he said.
The Lincoln Mensa group meets on a
regular basis, and some of its past
activities included tours and lectures.
Last year the group toured a computer
complex and a radio station, Wunder
lich said.
"It's a social group and gives people a
chance to interact with people of
proven intelligence from different back
grounds," Baugh said. While some

people only associate with others in
their own field, Mensa gives them a
chance to get out of this rut, he said.
Another aspect of Mensa is its spe
cial interest groups, both local and
national, which correspond through
newsletters, Baugh said. For example,
he said, in Lincoln there is a group of
people who like to watch the British
science fiction show "Doctor Who."
Wunderlich is president of the Mil
lion Dollar Cribbae Tournament, Inc.,
another nationwide special interest
group of Mensa, Bauh said. Each year
they sponsor a critb?. tournament,
with a $1 million first prize. .
The Mensa test b open to anybody
who wants to take it, Wunderlich said.
Many people take it just because they
are curious to see how they will score,
he said.
The test will be given April 28 in the
fourth floor auditorium of Bennet
Martin Library, 14th and N sts. Regis
tration begins at 9 a.m., at which time a
$15 fee and identification must be
presented. The test will start promptly
at 10 am. and end around 1 p.m.

Interstate Bancorp is a
$45 billion bank holding
company that owns 21
banks in 1 1 western states.
The company has fran
chises in six states, includ
ing Alaska, Hawaii, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Colorado
and Wisconsin. Franchis
ed banks get the Inter
state Bancorp name and
share in its good national
reputation, Rothell said.
Other advantages to fran
chisement are national ex
posure, sharing of tech
nology and expertise, ac
cess to the company's com
puter data base and shar
ed advertising.
Rothell said his com
pany has more than 1 ,000
branch locations and is
still growing.
"We believe companies
can either go backwards
or forwards. We choose
to go forward," Rothell
said. "We don't believe it
is possible for a company
to stand still."
The franchise operation
has gradually expanded
eastward, from Hawaii
and Alaska to Wisconsin.
Rothell said the next log

that, by 1 30, massive de
regulation in the banking
industry will result in tre
mendous consolidation of
financial institutions. By
the end of the 20th cen
tury, there will be six to
12 financial companies
nationwide, Rothell said.
"By that time, there will
be very few barriers left
to full-scale interstate
banking," Rothell said.
Rothell said in the fut
ure, three types of banks
will exist: nationwide fin
ancial companies, special
ty banks serving profes
sional groups and small
community banks that are
"off the beaten path."
"Small banks in huge
towns will not do so well
unless they develop a high
er level of expertise," Roth
