Fall Commencement:
Continued from Page 1
‘ Coyle said participation in commencement exer
cises has always been high and, because of this
fact, a Fall Commencement should be seriously
considered.
“Very few students ask for their diplomas to be
sent home to them,” he said. “My guess would be
that about 80 percent of the students return with
their families for graduation.”
Parvensky said he would go to extremes to show
CCC members that students are concerned.
• “If I have to march 500 students in to show I have
support for this issue, I’ll do it,” he said. “We’re not
seeking out an issue, it’s very relative to us now.”
Lewis said he would express both sides of the
committee’s views at the next CCC meeting,
v In other business, committee members reported
on the outcome of Town Day.
Last Thursday, the Organization for Town Inde
pendent Students sponsored its 10th annual Town
Day, a forum for students and community mem
bers to discuss issues concerning the two groups.
: Andrew Berger, student committee member and
member of OTIS, said “no great revelations came
iput of Town Day.”
- Lewis, who attended Town Day with Berger and
Dungan, said despite a few problems with the
overlapping of apartment leases and the beginning
of Fall Semester, “everything seems to be working

Berger said students may have as much as a 10-
day overlap in their apartment leases because of
the transition.
“Many landlords said they would help accommo
date students experiencing an overlap problem by
pro-rating rents in August,” he said. Landlords
“would refund former tenants for the last two
week’s of rent in August.”
Dungan said the University may be able to
provide storage space to accommodate students
inconvenienced by the overlap.
“I think it’s very possible that (the University)
could handle providing students with storage
space,” he said.
Dungan also said many landlords said they would
condone the illegal sharing of rooms for a few days
until the overlap problem is resolved.
“Students may simply have to bunk at fellpw
students’ apartments for a few days until the
problem is taken care of,” Dungan said.
Ernest Weidhaas, committee member, said the
alternatives should be considered very seriously
because “students may be getting ripped off.”
Also at the meeting, recently appointed Summer
Session Director Nancy Tischler.said the Universi
ty’s Summer Sessions will make the calendar
conversion “exciting and fun.”

tion,” she said. “I am sensing lots of creativity,
enthusiasm and eagerness from faculty members
who are really looking forward to experimenting
with the Summer Session.”
Tischler, who takes office July 1, will be responsi
ble for Summer Sessions beginning in 1984.
Tischler also said she plans to make the Universi
ty more attractive to faculty members to encour
age more interest in teaching during the summer.
In another discussion about the transition, com
mittee member John Cahir said the reclassification
of students under the semester system is not
explained to students anywhere and students do not
realize its implications.
“Semester standing shouldn’t be interpretated in
the same way as term standing,” he said. “It’s an
important change that many students don’t seem to
be aware of.”
Many committee members said they had not
given this issue much thought.
Martha Adams, committee member, explained
the differences in determining academic standing.
“Semester standing is determined by credit
hours,” she said. “It’s not like under the term
system where a student’s standing is figured out
according to how many terms must be completed
before that student can graduate.”
Dungan said this new approach would be “a real
challenge” to the Universityjtegistrar’s office.
