Kirousis proved that if $E(α)\vDash cf(\bar{\bar α})=ω$, then $E(α)$ is admissible. Motivated by this result, Sacks asked for a cofinality condition on $α$ that would characterize the admissibility of $E(α)$. The authors address this question, and show that while $Σ\sb 1$-admissibility of E($α)$ does not guarantee $cf(\bar{\bar α})=ω$ in $E(α)$, it does imply the weaker condition that the RE$\wedge co$-RE cofinality of $α$ (which one may assume to be the greatest cardinal of $E(α)$) is $ω$. By definition the $RE\wedge co$-RE cofinality of $α$ is the least $τ\le α$ for which there exists a set $R\subseteq α$ of order type $τ$ such that R is the intersection of an RE set on a co-RE set. The second main result of this paper is a dynamic proof of selection, so that on $E(α)$ there is a uniform selection over RE subsets of each $δ
