Mid-Term Reports Won't Be Mailed Mid-term grade reports will not be sent out by the Registrar's Office this semester; however, each pro fessor will send a card to the parents of students having a grade of "E" or Incomplete. Miss Miriam Hol land, Assistant Registrar of the Uni versity of South Carolina, announces that the elimination of mid-term re ports is necessary because of the in creased work caused by the accele rated program and the scarcity of office help. As mid-term grades are not a part of the permanent record, it was decided that the posting of grades was not necessary, and only an ad ditional load of work for the regis trar's office. Instructors have been requested to notify students of their mid-term standing, and this infor mnation will not be available at the registrar's office.
