Chem Phys
Will Take
'Cuts' Poll
By JOEL MYERS
A proposed plan that would
allow unlimited cuts for all
students having at least a 3.5
average will be presented to
the University Senate as soon
as the results of a College of
Chemistry-Physics faculty poll
on the matter is completed.
The Chemistry-Physics student
council in its regular bi-monthly
meeting, which was held last
night, decided to send question
naires to all faculty members of
the college in order to determine
their opinion. on the proposed
plan. The council also agreed to
question other Universities' and
Colleges on their success with
■similar plans.
Irving Klein, council presi
dent, pointed out the two main
goals of the proposal as being:
•To develop mature attitudes
in students.
•To benefit students who will
be on their own more and more
due to the greater use of tele
vised courses as Penn State’s en
rollment increases.
The questions that the profes
sors will be asked are divided into
three main categories. The first
one asks if the individual profes
sor would be in favor of exempt
ing students from compulsory at
tendance. It also requests that the
professor qualify what average he
believes denotes a superior stu
dent.
The second question asks if
the plan would be feasible for
that particular professor's
course.
The' professor’s opinion toward
extending this plan to exclude the
superior students from taking
quizzes is the contents of the third
question.
In other business, the council
decided to begin binding the vast
supply of bluebooks that they
have on hand, in order to make
them available for student use.
Beginning the end of next week
students will be able to use the
bluebook file, which will be kept
in the Chemistry-Physics library.
Senate May Consider Half-Holiday
The University Senate will
meet at 4:15 p.m. today but
whether or not it will consider
the bowl half-holiday has not
been determined.
Dr. Benjamin A. Whisler, chair
man of the Committee on Calen
dar and Class Schedule, said the
holiday, proposed by the Student
Government Association, would
be acted upon at the committee’s
meeting scheduled for 3 p.m. to
day, .
If the committee approves the
half-holiday, it would then have
to have the entire Senate body’s
approval before it is added to to
day’s agenda.

time lost by the holiday on the
day before final examinations.
