the CAPITOLIST VoL 2 No. 1 Pre-Election Activities On Campus Students at Capitol Campus re ceived a letter from Campus Director Coleman Herpel and Student Govern ment President Lee Levan during the summer. It concerned students working for political candidates in November. The following is the text of the statement: For the Fall Term 1970, upon re commendation of the Student Gov ernment Association and with the concurrence of the Faculty Council the following procedures will be in ef fect to assist students in adding active participation in pre-election political activity to their regular aca demic program activity. The specific recommendations of the Student Government Association are that each student will have three choices for action during the two week period beginning on Wednesday, October 21, and ending on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3: 1. He may attend regular classes. 2. He may notify his instructor that he will make up the work of the two weeks during which he does not attend classes. (See items A and B below). 3. With his instructor’s permission, the two weeks spent working for candidates will count as credit toward course work. The Faculty Council added comments for clarification: A. That a student must consult with his instructor early in the term regarding each individual course which he may choose not to attend on a regular basis but for which he accepts full re sponsibility to complete course requirements. B. That course requirements in each course are to be completed by the end of the Fall Term. The Campus Director points out that these procedures are not the same as those instituted on an ad hoc basis in May 1970 for the Spring Term 1970. The S/U grading basis is available only at the regular time and under the ususal conditions for student choice at the end of the nor mal drop-add period. Also, the de ferred grade privilege is available only on the regular basis of work not completed because of circumstances beyond a student’s reasonable control, such as illness, accident, or other ex tenuating circumstances.
