Goes S Fall Averages At Present Won'tDrop Carolina will change from a 6.0 to a 4.0 grading system with the start of the fall semester, it was announced officially today. The change will bring the Uni versity's system into conformity with grading procedure used at other State institutions in South Carolina and also by 75 per cent of universities and colleges over the nation. The change was approved at the May meeting of the USC fac ulty, and a faculty committee was named to work out details of the Operation of the new system. Under the program, all student grades are to be converted from the 6.0 to the 4.0 system during the summer. The faculty took an emphatic stand that this should be (lone without detriment to any student's standing. Where any M'enning ime(juity occurs. students will be given the benefit of a re computation under the 6.0 sys tem. Faculty action followed recom mendations by both the Council of Presidents of State Institutions of Higher Learning and the Council of Deans of State Insti tutions. These consist of the presi dents and deans, respectively, of all State - supported universities and colleges. The Academic Ad visory Council of USC. comprised of U.C executives and deans, also advocated the change. Use of the 4.0 system is ex pected to simplify transfer of undergraduate students and the enrollment of graduates for post graduate study both in South Carolina institutions and else where over the nation. Under the present 6.0 system, grades consisted of A (95-100) excellent: B plus (90-94) very good; B (85-89) good; C plus (80--I) average; C (75-79) fair; ) A70-7Ii passing, and F (0-69) failure. The new plan provides simply: A. excellent; B, good; C, fair; D, poor, and F, failure. "In the past," a USC official said, "the 6.0 system has often worked against Carolina grad uates and transfers because many reviewers of transcripts at other institutions automatically convert to a 4.0 system without proper computation of grade points or reference to actual values repre sented under the 6.0 system. Honorary Fra tern ity Initiates The president of Sonoco Prod uets Company addressed the Al pha of South Carolina Chapter of Beta Ganmma Sigma, honorary business fraternity, at their an nual initiation and hanquet May 5.

Coker, told those present that the pres sures of industry today force the business firm to place greater em phasis on the development of business craftsmen and business executives. Mr. Coker, who graduated from the University in 1929, was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from USC In 1958. Hie received an honorary member ship into Beta Gamma Sigma dur ing the initiation ceremonies. Mr. (Coker was recognized by the ;'hapter for his outstanding busi nesa leadership and for his con tributions to the business and ed uentional communities.
