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

It is expccted that the Departmi

wXeeks.
Professor R. L. Sunmwalt was
to Washington last week by the
versity head to get information
the probable future effects of the
on this institution.
"I have goad reason to think
juniors and seniors may be pern,
to remain in the University
June, 1943, and that possibly fi
men and sophomores may likewis
allowed to do so", said President
Kissick.
"Of course, this is not yet cei
but it seems probable.
"The status of students in the /
Enlisted Reserve Corps is unce
"The Navy still contemplate:
basic change in its V-r, V-5 and
programs.
"Our students are earnestly
vised not to become panicky ori
stampeded into hasty departure

that they may be able to rema

now think likely."
The University head is of
opinion that the complete War

be announced-assuredly before

An address delivered to the graduat.
ig class of the twenty-seventh .sum
ier session of the University of South
arolina, by Dr. Patterson Wardlaw,
vas recently printeu and distributed
,y the University summer school.
Copies of the address, "Thought
4eeds for Tomorrow", were sent to
11 of the members of the graduating
lass, at which the address was made,
long with his educational creed.
Excerpts from Doctor Wardlaw's
,ddress follow:
"Our thinking, to be serviceable,
iust be man sized. Of course our
irst duty is to kindle an unquench
ble zeal to win the war, hardening
ito a cold, inflexible determination..
"But every great purpose is built
n a mighty faith. I wish that all
f us could rise to that whole-seeing
aith, the serene conviction that what
ver the immediate end of the war
nay be, the ultimate results will be
o raise mankind to a higher level.
7he like has happened several times
a history.
"Whether the peace-time oppor
unities will bring healthful progress
r baneful backsliding depends on the
xtent to which we shall follow this
ule of reason. It will be hard; but,
f the new associates are to live to
ether in justice and peace, we shall
e compelled prejudices-sectional ec
nomic, political, dogmatic, social,
hnguistic--yes, some of our racial
irecenceptions."
