Under the system, examina
tions will be given without the
presence of a professor or offi
cial proctor. Students are expect
ed to report any individuals they
find cheating to the ftonor Coun
cil which will hear dishonesty
cases.
This system is part of the
council's aim to give students a
voice in how they wish to have
their curriculum administered
to them.
Last spring the council com
piled a list of non-techmcal elec
tives from suggestions made to
them through student question
naires. This list provides the
courses that were the most valu
able and interesting to the stu
dents questioned.
The council is now working
on a plan for open lectures.
This would consist of a weekly
posted list enumerating lectures
that might be of special interest
to students not enrolled in those
courses. A trial run of this
plan will start this semester.
On Oct. 24, the council will
sponsor an open house for stu
dents in mineral industries. Its!
purpose will be to better acquaint!
new students with the college
and their fellow-students.
