Dean Case Under Con Circuit Judge G. Badger Baker has taken the Law School enroll rnent case under advisement fol lowing an open hearing in Rich land County Court House Wed aesday...Meanwhile, the injunction granted by Judge Baker March 3 will remain in force and Clyde C. Dean, petitioner, will remain in school. Principal issue involved in the hearing was whether or not the Law School faculty could justi fiably require students repeating a term to make higher aveVges than ordinarily required. Dean has charged that he was unjustly dis missed from the Law School upon failing to make a C-plus average (C is the ordinary passing grade) while repeating his work. Dean is petitioning for a writ of mandamus which would compel the defendants, President Norman M. Smith, Dean. John A. Chase and Dean Samuel L. Prince, to permit him to be regularly re enrolled in the school.

Dean Prince ad mitted upon questioning by John Grimball, attorney for the pe titioner, that any student, because of special circumstances, could be required to make a perfect grade. Grimball argued that the Law School's rules and regulations do not authorize the faculty to re quire a specified grade average on courses when they are repeated. Dean Prince admitted that no such provision was in the rules, but that it had been the custom for several years. Attorneys for the defendants, D. W. Robinson and T. C. Calli son, argued that the faculty is summarily endowed with the right to specify a certain grade to be met upon allowing a student to retake his course. In support of this point the attorneys cited sev aral decisions.
