Others on the committee were, Hummel Fishburn, professor of music and music education.; and Charles Speidel, professor of phys ical education and wrestling coach.

The Senate took no action on the proposal of its Committee on Educational Policy to abandon the present system of enrolling freshmen in specific curricula in favor of a series of common freshman year programs. The report was presented for informational purposes only. The 'committee asked senators to sub mit their suggestions and com ments about the proposal. To be invited into the honor program, the student must have a 3.0 All-University average or a 4.0 average in his academic major. He must also maintain a 3.0 aver age to remain in the program and complete at least 12 cerdits desig nated by his department as hon ors course -work. The original plan called for 12 credits of honors work, nine of which must be in the stu dent's major. In addition, each student must take and pass a final examination. An alternate proposal in the plan —to have the student write an honors paper in addition to or in lieu of the examination—was de leted. The honors programs will be administered by standing com mittees in each department. Fac ulty members will be assigned to teach and advise honors students as a part of their regular schedule, rather than in addition to n full load of other duties. , The original plan called for each department sponsoring an honors program to set up at least 12 credits of courses de students. signed specifically for honors This was done after it was pointed out that in the smaller departments there might not be enough students enrolled in the honors program to warrant set ting up courses for them. The standard University grad ing system will be used to record grades, but they will not be placed on the student's transcript until completion of the honors program. In the main Hetzel Union gal lery there are exhibits of sculp ture in wood, stone, metal and plastic. Some of the metal sculp turing was done in cooperation with the industrial engineering [department. Paintings and draw ings by students of both depart ments are on display in the gal lery. The corridors of Temporary Building have been turned into galleries exhibiting paintings and drawings of the students. One room of the building is devoted 1 1 to a selection of design work. A complete display of sculpturing is located in the courtyard. All displays were done by stu dents from the two departments.
