  • 8 Thursday, September 30, 1971 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN INTERCOLLEGIATE FOUNDED 1935 PRESS BULLETINS OXFORD, OHIO - (LP.) - Miami University students will have much freer rein in choice of courses as a result of University Senate action trimming nearly half of the base requirements and making physical education optionaL The action replaces the Common Curriculum requirement followed at Miami since 195* with a more flixible base called "The University Rsquirement." Besides reducing the base requirement to one year instead of two in the natural sciences and social sciences, the new plan also assures every student of at least 18 hours of free electives regardless of the special requirements of his own degree program. AUSTIN, TEXAS - (I.P.) - To remain great, a university must restrict its numbers to those that can be provided with "reasonable access to faculty, libraries, laboratories, classrooms and living space," the president-elect of The University of Texas at Austin said recenUy. Dr. Stephen H0 Spurr, who resigned the University of Michigan vice presidency and graduate deanship to head UT Austin said, "even after one has accepted the policy that the size of the university should be limited by the resources made available to it, and has s;t admission quotas deslgn3d to achieve these numbers, problems will arise if students do not move steadily through their academic programs and terminate their studies, hopefully with earned degrees, at a predictable time,," GREENVILLE, S.C., - (LP.) - Demonstration—the demonstration of concern- ■ is the philosophical foundation for Fur- man University's highly-successful Collegiate Educational Service Corps. Initiated five years ago under the auspices of the Wat- kins Center Program Board, the CESC has continued to grow. In the beginning, 75 students offered to work with 18 agencies in the Greenville community. Last year, 1000 volunteers— two-thirds of the resident students -were involved with 55 agencies. Furman's program, which was developed under the quldance of Betty Alverson, director of the Watkins Student Center, is student-sponsored. With the help of eight station wagons—six were purchased during CESC's third year of operation with a $20,000 grant from the Kresge Foundation^ - the students travel over 1,500 miles and amas3 3,000 work- hours each week, handling a service load equal to that of 75 full-time employees, Each student works several hours weekly and the Furman volunteers receive neither pay nor academic credit for their efforts. LANCASTER, PA. - (I.P.) - The Committee on Student Rules at Franklin and Marshall College has prepared a report on the subject of student r'ghts and freedoms. The report is divided into six areas: 1) freedoms of access to higher education; 2) classroom; 3) student re= cords; 4) student affairs, 5: off-campus freedoms of students; 6) procedural standards and disciplinary proceedings. New features in the report cover detailed statements for protection against improper academic evaluations and an explanation on wist is filed on student records., Regarding improper academic evaluations the rules drawn up are quite explicit. If no satisfaction is gained from meetings with the professor privately, the student can then confer with the Dean of Students' Office. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. - (LP.) - During its three-year trial period at the University of Minnesota the Pass-No Credit (P-N) grading option system has received mixed reviews. Statistics compiled for the last two years here indicate that students are not making a great deal of use of the alternative system. "There are probably a lot of reasons for this," said Keith Wharton, who has conducted five separate studies on the P-N system. "Many advisors suggest to their students that they not use the P-N option if they plan to transfer to another school or go on to graduate school," he said. Wharton also listed "subtle pressure" from professors who disapprove of the grading option and make their feelings well known to their students, as a deterrent to its use. He added that many students prefer a letter grade so they can evaluate their work better. "Our problems are monumental and the time available to us to solve them is growing short," Dr. McGill said. "However, with much effort and some good will, solutions are not only possible but feasible and the current crisis in American higher education, if wisely handled, can become a period of extraordinarily stimulating change." The Columbia president said that educational reform in large institutions is possible ' 'only when people are running "Believe me," he declared, "we in higher education are very nervous, and the next decade is likely to produce reorganization, curriculum reform, redefinition of professional- life, and a variety of other innovations unlike anything seen in the last fity years.," Fort Collins, C0I0.-O.P.)- More effective student participation in faculty personnel decisions was the overwhelming opinion of a student, faculty and departmental head survey at Colorado State University. According to Dr. Val Ridgway, chairman of the Associated Students-Faculty Improvement committee which conducted the survey, students responded favorably on participating in hiring, tenure, contract renewal committees CONTINUED Page 12.... IFC announces changes The Interfraternity Council has announced that the Fall Quarter Rush program will be during the week of October 4-9. The IFC smoker will be held Monday night at 8 p.m. in the Grandroom. The format of this Quarter's Rush will be much the same as it has in the pastk but with a new twist added as far as pledging requirements are concerned. Last Spring, IFC, the governing body of the fraternities, abolished the existing rush rules that placed restrictive requirements on prospective pledges. Formerly, rushees were required to possess at least a 2.00 QPR and 12 quarter hours to be eligible to join a fraternity as a pledge. Thus, first quarter freshmen and transfer students were not eligible to pledge. Now, with the liberalized rush rules, first quarter freshmen and transfers are eligible to pledge, since no specific QPR or accumulation of hours is required. Also eligible are those students whose QPR is below 2„00 or do not have 12 quarter hours. However, a 2.00 is still required for a pledge to be initiated as a brother. IFC has also loosened restrictions on the invitation of rushees to fraternity functions at times other than official Rush periods. Despite the controversy that has raged in recent years con cerning the value of fraternities, many educators and administrators recognize the integral role fraternities play in a man's college career. Some have referred to a fraternity as the best possible course in human relations. Basically, the IFC Rush program is designed to afford each individual ths opportunity to comiare and evaluate each fraternity and its members. Attendance at the Smoker is mandatory in orderforarushee to attend any rush function during the week. Pregnant? Need Help?
