DIR Proves Great Help To Students Although the two-year experi mental period of the College De partment of Intermediate Regis tration has not yet ended, it has been extremely successful so far, according to Dr. H. K. Wilson, its director. This was brought out at a panel discussion of ‘‘Scholarship and the Delinquent Student” held at a meeting of the American Associa tion of University Professors Wed nesday night. The DIR got under way here last summer to help students con fused in the choice of a curricu lum and those receiving low grades. All students receiving an average of .5 or lower are auto matically placed in this depart ment, which cooperates with all schools of the College through an advisory committee consisting of representatives from each of the schools. Two semesters in the DIR are allowed. By the end of that time the student must gain admit tance to one of the regular schools of the College. 99 Successful Smce the beginning of the fall semester, 99 students have suc cessfully transferred from the DIR to other schools, while 86 have been dropped, according to Dr. Wilson. The chief reasons for most failures have been the choice of the wrong curriculum and inabil ity to read and study. Aptitude tests and remedial courses have been employed by the DIR to help remedy these faults. . •WWAWMIiU'. 1 -W<l!
