Ag Council Discusses
Comprehensive Exam
By KAREN HYNECKEAL
In the wake of bluebooks,
term papers, daily quizzes, and
all the other woi'k which has
ben thrust upon students dur
ing these last few days, the|
j Agriculture Student Council 1
bravely continued its discus
sion of examinations.
The subject was first introduced
to the council several weeks ago
by Dr. Paul M. Althouse, assistant
director of resident instruction in
j agriculture. He explained that a!
recommendation was made to the
administration to consider giving
comprehensive examinations to all
seniors in order to determine
their overall knowledge in their
field of study.

MAIN CLUB MEETING
Everyone Welcome
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16. 1959
Last night one council mem
ber cited a similar example from
the Ohio Slate University. Sen
iors there were given a list of
197 questions two weks prior to
the examination, which in this
particular study was given to
those majoring in dairy science.
The actual examination was
oral. Each student was questioned
by members of the faculty for 3®
minutes. In the three years this
process was used, only one stu
dent failed to meet the require
ments
In 1943, however, this system
of testing was dropped because it
was too tirP.e-consuming and re
quired too much work from the
‘faculty.
i Based on this example, the
council discussed the proposed
! comprehensive exam i n a lion.
