Changes Need Approval
; A graduation requirement of
139 credits may be required by
the School of Business. This is
seven credits' more than needed
for graduation from the School
of Liberal Arts, in which business
students are now enrolled.
Course changes must have ap
proval of the College Senate be
fore going into effect. The depart-
Tnent committee hopes to have its
report ready within ten days.
This means that the report may
be ready for Senate approval at
the March meeting.
The department will recom
mend dropping 30 courses now of
fered and adding about ten new
courses. Recommendation for
elimination of the 30 courses is
being made so the school can have
fewer courses, larger classes, and
do a better job of instruction,
George L. Leffler, secretary of
the committee, said yesterday.
About ten new courses are be
ing added to present a better
rounded curriculum. Approxi
mately 120 courses will be offered
by the new school. Ralph H.
Wherry is chairman of the com
mittee studying course changes.
Probation Period Needed
The School of Business, even
with, a net loss of 20 courses, will
have one of the most complete
course lists among the larger bus
iness schools, Leffler indicated..
After applying for membership
in the -AACSB, schools are put on
a one to three year probationary
membership, usually three years.
C. S. Wyand is chairman of the
committee assisting the President
to find a dean for the school. Oth
ers serving on the committee are
John Macklin, David H. McKin
ley, Charles J. Rowland, Arthur
H. Reede, Sheldon C. Tanner,
Ralph H. Wherry, and Morris
Mendelson.
The School of Business will of

ness management, economics, fi
nance, insurance and real estate,
marketing, trade, and transporta
tion. ■
IRRA to Meet Tonight
The Industrial Relations Re
search Association will meet at 7
tonight in 208 Willard to receive
new members. Professor Eugene
Myers, adviser to the group, will
give , an address on the associ
ation’s activities.
Students Might
Flu Confinement
Students explaining to their instructors that they were absent
from class because they were confined to their rooms on advice of
College health officials will probably be excused, Director of Student
Affairs Wilnier E. Kenworthy said yesterday. .
At present, no excuses are given by health officials unless the
student is a patient in the Infirmary. -
Students who report to the In
firmary and are requested by
health officials to confine them
selves to their rooms will not be
officially excused from classes,
according to the 1952-53 Regula
tions for Undergraduate Students.
It was indicated by a College
official that a^study of the situ
ation would take place.
In the case of hospital confine
ment, the regulations state that
the director of the College Health
Service-may issue an official ex-:
cuse. An official excuse permits
the student to make up any re
quired work or examinations
without penalty. .1 '

Swartkmofe Paper
Regrets Headline
Issues-of the Phoenix, Swarthmore College student newspaper,
were selling Tuesday for $2 a copy. And the-staff- was scurrying all
over the campus trying to collect and burn stray copies.
A big black IVz inch headline declaring “Adlai Prexy.M” was
the cause of all the trouble. . ~ _
The announcement that Adlai E. Stevenson, unsuccessful 1952
Democratic nominee for - Presi
dent, had accepted the presidency
of the college, was squashed by
Dr. John W. Nason, retiring presi
dent. Said he: “There is absolutely
no truth to the story. Mr. Steven
son has not accepted the presi
dency of the college. It just isn’t
true.”

are considered 'ambulatory cases,
Dr. Herbert R. Glenn, director of

Rumors Circulating
Said Stevenson, in a telegram
to the Philadelphia Inquirer: “It’s
all news to me. Tpll me more.”'
The issue of the phoenix hit the
campus at 6 p.m. By 6:30 copies
were being sold at a premium,
and the quotation at 7:30 was $2.
Rumors that Stevenson would
be named to succeed Nason had
circulated . around the campus
since Sunday.
How the story got into print was
a mystery. The issue was the first
put out under the editorship of
Peter Bart, junior in the School
of Political Science.' He couldn’t
be reached in , the newspaper’s
offices or his dorimtory room.
President Maintains Silence
, Bart’s immediate predecessor,
John Purnell, a senior, •said 'he
believed the story had been add
ed to copy that was prepared
the printer Monday. No such story
had passed by Bart, he declared.
The college’s president said un
til he learns more about the af
fair, he could not speculate about
punishment.
The last paragraph may have
been added to. clear Bart, some
students believed. It said:
“Editor Bart, a little breathless
from- the whole affair, has so far
been able to say only that ‘this
whole affair certainly comes as a
surprise to me.’ ”
It probably did.
In addition to the news story,
the paper carried an editorial en
titled “Good Luck,” which con
cluded: “Our best wishes and fer
vent hopes go out-to'-our new
president.” j
