i sr abr a A lk oz i— TE A, SN 20m rem n. DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA College by Bruce Hopkins Making the Grade Panic struck the campus of Bloomsburg State on Sunday, Nov. 14. It takes so little to touch off such panic. The whole thing started when someone happened to stroll by the post office and notice that there were little pink slips in every box. “Hey,” said this person, “what's with all the pink slips in the mailboxes?” Panic! The pink slips in the mailboxes were mid- Wy somester grade reports! - The grading system at Bloom is similar to that of most colleges. A perfect cumulative average is 4.0. . In order to student teach, and to graduate (and also to avoid the draft), a student must maintain a cum (short for cumulative average) of 2.0; and to make the Dean’s List, a 3.5 is required. As each student reluctantly pulled the slip from his mailbox, the expression on his face, and the phrase he uttered, told all! One girl gleefully began jumping up and down, and shouting, “I got a 3.0! 1 got a 3.0!” Meanwhile, a sad-faced guy standing next to her said dreamily, “Good grief, if IT had a 3.0 I'd sit up all night and stare at it!” The fact that these pink slips were in our mailboxes, indicated that there were also similar slips in the mail, addressed to our par- ents! Knowledge of this fact made it difficult for many students to write home last week! IT would now like to give you an idea of some of the letters these parents received last week ' The ‘parents of example number one! received the following letter from’ their daughter who made thé Dean’s List for the umpteenth con- secutive. time: Dearest Mother and Father, ) You .can undoubtedly imagine my “amazement when I received my grades and discovered that my cum- ulative: average was only a 3.87. I cannot understand how I could have decreased a whole tenth of a point from last time. It was no doubt because of my B in differential cal- culus.” I don’t understand’ why I didn’t receive an A. At any rate, I promise you that the final semes- ter grades will be up to normal again. : Sincerely yours, Your Daughter. - Grief! Some people are never satisfied! ; Next there are the parents of the student who -- mostly through the aid of luck, and a few kind profs -- received a cum slighly above aver- age. Their letter would read like “his: To the Proud Parents, Well, how about this son of yours I'll bet you never expected me to do this well did you? Of course, it took lots of hard work, but what is college for if not for work? Anyway, now that I'm “in” | ling to wurry about. This hafe of Bound of the semester will be a einch! Yours intelligently, Wart Next we have that future BMOC (Big. Man On Campus) who has been taking part in just about every activity except classes! Naturally, he’s been writing home about how hard he’s been working and how well he was doing. His parents would read the following: To Whom It May Concern: So, alright, maybe I wasn’t work- ing quite as hard as I thought, but these are just the mid-term grades-- I have a whole nine weeks to bring them up to where they belong! Please advise as to whether. you | Thanksgiving vacation! : Yours unfortunately, Sid : Finally, we have the parents of the football star who made it to college through the influence of a ccach. This is their letter: Deer fokes, : I guess you probly got my graids, huh? To bad I dint dew a little better than what I did. but'I think if T tries relly hard, I should oughta bring them up to a passing mare. What with football and everything, I just been to busy to worry about nothing else. Now all I got is wres- the term should be beter. Yours censirly, y Francis, Jr. be Francis, however, received: this letter from his father. on' the same ‘day which he mailed his'gwn: Deer Franeis; " «* ~ Ta “We got your’ graids today.
