The USC fac ulty voted a year ago to change from the 6-point system to the 4 point system in conformity with most other institutions. There was general agreement that this should he done without downgrad ing any student. At its April meeting, the fac ulty specifically decided that any student who enrolled here under the 6-point system, and whose graduation or academic status is jeopardized by the 4-point sys tem, could have his grades com puted under the 6-point system in taking an undergraduate degree. This does not apply to freshmen. as the change was voted before they entered the University. It applies to current seniots. juniors and sophomores. Eligible students wishing to have their grades computed under Ithe 6-point system should contact the office of the registrar. In in o s t instances, recomputation does not result in a change of grades. However, the University feels that it is in order where there is a reasonable doubt."

At press m necessary Scnate approval had not been given. The proposed multi - purpose structure, tentatively called USC Memorial Hall, would replace the present University Field House built in 1927. Plans set forth by the Columbia architectural firm of Lyles, Bis sett, Carlisle, and Wolf call for a 300-foot square building con taining a large auditorium-arena, an assembly room, a large lecture room, 40 class rooms, 14 offices, and service space. Separate en trances provide for unconflicting simultaneous use of the various facilities. Because the structure will be used for many student functions, it will be located as close as pos sible to the main campus, within a few blocks at the most, accord ing to University officials. In stressing the need for the structure, President Thomas F. Jones and Board of Trustees Chairman Rutledge L. Osborne commented that the accelerated growth of the University in the past two years has made construc tion of a large multi-purpose building a "first thing which now must be given high priority." Evidence of the need is illus trated by the fact that the present Field House with a capacity of 3,200 persons was built when the campus enrollment was 1,568 stu dents. On the Columbia campus of the University today there are 7,798 students. The main arena having 8,000 permanent seats would allow for a seating capacity of 12,500 for basketball games, 11.250 for con certs or stage presentations, or a maximum of 13.000 for a speaker or convocation. The space to the side and under neath the main arena area seat ing is fully utilized with provi sions for four floors of class rooms, offices, and lecture halls. Subject to refinement, the plans allow for a seating capacity of 700 persons for the auditorium and 600 for the lecture hall.
