"Academic Policies" agreed,

collegeean guide respective fresh
men. This would alleviate the
burden on instructors and faculty
advisers.
Value of College to Be Stressed
Student-faculty dinners, semi
nars and informal coffee hours
would emphasize and make stu
dents aware of the importance of
a college education and the"privi
lege they have of attending the
University. There is at 'least one
capable person unable to .attend
college• for every student en
rolled.
To,_ motivate students toward
higher achievement, comprehen
sive tests could be given to de
termine the level of achievement
in each course. This would be
administered by a battery of test
ers, not the-instructor.
Although it would 'be difficult
to measure classroom participa
tion, the group felt that this
would eliminate bargaining for
grades on the part of the student.
In addition, instructor and stu
dent will be working Coward a
common goal and a true instruc
tional situation will develop.
Councils Would Evaluate Courses
Student Councils, it was sug
gested, should meet with the
deans of the colleges in order to
evaluate various introductory
courses and measure the degree
of stimulation influencing stu
dents.
Concerning academic honesty,
the group proposed that a definite
effort should be made to fully
publicize the program. The chief
difficulty in the aceptance of this
program, they said, seems to be
a lack of knowledge of its ex
istence.
Technical Courses Broadened
There is a need for broadening
specialized courses in many of the
technical curricula the workshop
members agreed. This could be
done by extending certain tech
nical and professional courses to
five years, as is accomplished at
the present time by .Ohio State
University and Cornell Univer
sity.
However the five year plan
may discourage students because
of increased costs and extra time
required, and there may be a
tendency toward increased spe
cialization rather than liberaliza
tion.
The group also suggested re
vising present courses, depleting
out-dated technical courses and
substituting general education
such as the social sciences, hu
manities, physical sciences and
biological sciences.

Freshmen Reaction
Favorable to 'Ban'
Reaction among freshmen to the Interfraternity Council's
ban on the serving of alcoholic beverages to freshmen minors
at fraternity functions seemed yesterday to be favorable to
the ruling.
A . poll conducted among freshmen at random by The.
Daily Collegian disclosed that,
many first-year students either'
approved the ban or stoically ac-,
cepted it as a necessary part of
University regulation.
The council approved the ban
Tuesday night as an -amendment
to its rushing code. Fraternities
considered the action at house
meetings following a council meet
ing Monday night at which it was
initiated,
Drink Moderately
Several of the freshmen inter
viewed in yesterday's poll said
they did not drink or drank only
moderately.
Richard Bressler, arts and let
ters major from Loganton, said
he believes the ban is "a darn
good thing," because "more fel
lows lose jobs and homes through
drinking than. any other thing."
Robert Elder, business admini
stration major from Dunkirk,
N.Y., said he believes the ban is
an itievitable action and would
have been enacted "sooner or
later."
Richard Jones, business ad-
THE WHY'S & WHEREABOUTS
T'S only fair to tell you why we will be turning down re-
quests for fraternity composites
PLEASE don't infer this as an attitude of indifference. We
are only too aware that fraternity composites are an impor
tant element in the staff of life of our studio.
IT's merely that we feel our quality dropped somewhat this
past year. The result was directly attributable to the quantity
of work we did. Namely—too many composites.
S 0 with due regard and appreciation for the many in
quiries this past week we bid a fond farewell to this year's
fraternity composites
0•
UR plan in general is to do fraternity composites on
alternating years, i.e.--sorority composites this year and
fraternity composites next year.
LTHOUGH the possibility is somewhat - remote, .if we
should have a slack week during the spring, we will be glad
to do a fraternity composite. However, don't plan on this.
liji
NTIL now, because of uncertain plans, we have not ac-
cepted any dates for sorority composites. However, sorority
appointments are now being solicited. The answer is YES we
will use shoulder drapes or vignette bare shoulders for the
composites. (An example of a shoulder vignette can be seen
in the portrait of Miss B. Gross presently in our display box.)
_ -
ND as usual, this is a good time for you Soci'al Chairmen
to make a reservation for party pix on the next big weekend.
,
All Coleman 3 c, ion Sidi°
ministration major from Ivyland.
expressed a negative attitude to
ward the ban and said he believes
it is unnecessary regulation:
Richard, Noyes, electrical en
gineering major from Springfield.
said he is "entirely in agreement"
with the action. He said he be
lieves• it is good for freshmen be
cause the. first year of their col
lege career is their "roughest"
scholastically, and drinking would
be a "distraction which would
only make it rougher."
More Men Interviewed
Almost all the freshmen inter
viewed were men, but one coed
summed up general feminine
opinion on the ban when she said.
she believed it is in the interest
of both sexes in the class and is
a reasonable and necessary regu
lation.
Several freshmen.said. they be
lieved. it would be inevitable be
cause "most colleges" have al►
ready taken similar action. A few
said they did not know drinking
by freshmen was permitted before
the ban was passed.
