Discussing theipossibility of re instating a finals week into the University calendar, Bernreuter said that no change is planned or expected for the current school year. If any change is made, he said, it would probably begin with the - summer term 1962. If a finals' period is instituted, room and board fees would be can assign only discip linary pro bation of less serious penalties.
