Seniors Offered
Grad Courses
Senior students with a 3.5 All-University average or above
may now take graduate courses for credit without being
admitted to the Graduate School, according to a University
Senate ruling made Thursday.
Seniors with the average
approval of the course instructor, I
be admitted to 500 series courses'
and other undergraduates may be I
admitted to the courses with the!
approval of the course instructor
and the dean of the graduate
'school.
The recommendation that
the Senate permit undergrad
uate students to take 500 courses
came out of an Academic Stan
dards Committee report at
tempting to reconcile three con
flicting regulations on the ad
mission of undergraduates to
graduate courses.
The committee report recom
mended that seniors lacking only
four credits for graduation may
be admitted to the graduate
school and if students had a B
average the four credit limit may
be increased to eight This section
of the report was passed.
However, the second section.
which asked that "other under
graduate students.''while not ad
mitted to the graduate school,
may, if their records are superior.
be admitted to graduate courses"
with the course instructor's ap
ps oval, was amended.
The amendment, proposed by
Dr. Ruth Ayres, member of the
Courses of Study Committee,
put in the stipulations requir
ing seniors to have a 3.5 aver
age and other undergraduates
to have the approval of the dean
of the graduate school.
Arthur D. Brickman, chairman
of the committee, in giving his
report said the recommendation
was an attempt to provide "addi
tional opportunity for gifted stu
dents."
In other business, the Senate
adopted a resolution approving
the policy of admission of under
graduates through colleges instead
of through curriculums.
The resolution, which came
from a report of the Committee
on Admissions, also asks that
faculties of several colleges take
action to implement the new
policy.
The new admission regulation
was made, according to the re
port, "because many students of
excellent qualifications are unde
cided about their academic ma
jor at the time of their admission,
provision should be made for ad
mitting more students to broad
areas of study rather than to spe
cific curriculums."
The committee felt that the res
olution was the best way to pro
vide admission to broad areas of
study.
The Senate also heard a first
reading of an amendment to the
by-laws which asked to increase
the Senate Committee on Ath
letics fron four members to
five.
One of the reasons for the
amendment, as given in a Com
mittee on Committees report, was
to give the Senate equal repre
sentation with the alumni on the
Athletic Advisory Board.
