Sheridan resigned, Higgi nbothamsaid, because he had other
work to do and not enough time for the campus radio station,
though he still comes in once a week to work.
Both the sports and news director jobs have the "same format
but different content," he explained. For both jobs, he is
in charge of gathering national, local and campus sports and
new stories and relaying them over the air, he said. He supervises
and directs these two processes, but has help in getting
them done.
"It's a lot of work, but I think 1 can handle it," Higginbotham
noted.

PULLMAN, WA ? Pass/fail
grading systems have failed, and
students who have a chance to use
them generally reject them, according
to a survey of over 1600 colleges using
rhf na<;s/fail svstem.
Dr. C. James Quann, registrar at
Washington State University and
author of the survey, says students do
worse when they're given pass/fail
grades instead of letter grades.

"Students come to class late, skip
classes, don't do assignments and hold
other students back. Performance is
below par in many cases."
Quann sees the system as a vestige of
the more experimental sixties and early
seventies.
Even so, "only a small percentage of
schools that initiated pass/fail options
abandoned them altogether on the
theory that if you give the students
something, it hurts to take it away,"
Quann adds.
