Propos Former Members 0 Solutions For Confu Course Is Required Of University; Plan Had Proposals made to three deans of t Childs, Dean of men F. \V. Bradley. i concerning credit earned on Freshm nounced by the University Personnel -to clear up confusion which has beei took this course. The Personnel Bureau, co-ordinat ing office for the student Orientation course, has been assisting in this work since 1939 when the orientation plan first was established. Beginning in September of this ses sion, the Committee on Orientation ruled that a freshman shall be detined as a student twho has less than 30 semester hours of credit applicable toward a university diploma and that the Orientation course requirement shall apply to all freshmen, thus in cluding an appreciable number of transferred students who rank as freshmen. Efforts to carry out this policy have not been entirely successful, and furthermore there are continual and numerous eliminations due to excess absences and failure to pass. Consequently, there are students of advanced standing to whom the Ori entation course requirement applies who have not fulfilled the require ment. Thus a provision for credit through special examination is needed, the Bureau felt, and also certain clari fications of policy to guide the Reg istrar's office. The following proposals were drawn up by Mr. W. C. McCall, head of the Bureau and have been offered to the Deans and passed: 1. That in view of the belated ef fort to enforce enrollment, both of new freshmen and transferred stu dents with rank of freshmen, the Orientation course requirement be waived for all students who entered the University before September, 1942, and who have not obtained cred it on the Orientation course. In other words, that in the cases of these students, Orientation course credit shall not be required toward a degree, aithough they must earn the custo mary minimum number of credits re quired for respective degrees. 2. That beginning with the ses sion 1942-43 the Orientation course requirement shall apply to all stu dents entering the University for the first time including transferred stu dents whose credits applicable toward a USC degree total less than 30, and that beginning with the session 1943 44, the requirement shall also include SEND YOUR BA -AND T AKE YOUR Don't start for home cluttered RAn.WAY EXPRBSS and we'll( speed them to your home, an< worry.
