5.4 An Average Grade . . .
Today ;in article appears in The. Daily N bra.tknn say
ing that a 0.4 in I he average grade here at the university.
JuKt what iio lrii grade! mean in relation to your grades?
And, furthmnore, juist what do grades mean?
(Jradt'H in college have as their main purpose to show
the .student how well he in doing in comparison with his
dassmate.s. Karley do they indicate the absolute amount of
learning the student has soaked up during his semester's
exposure to a professor. In that respect, the grading system
junked by the University a year ago in which percentages
were reported was misleading. Did a '.Hi in a course indicate
that the recipient had learned 1)0 of the course? Sup
posedly it meant only that this instructor believed that his
student had learned more than the student who got an KT.
A glance al the table given in the article shows some
Interesting things. Most grades tend to cluster around a 5
nnd they thin out as they move to the outer extremes. In
other words, a 5 is about average, while an 8 or 9 indicates
unusual ability or industry.
Many students, especially those who plan to enter
graduate colleges, medical or dental schools, are interested
to know whether they ;ire in the top 10 or 25. Conse
quently, this year instead of keeping students in the dark
about such things, the registrar's office has compiled a table
that clearly shows the average necessary to be in one of
the eharmed groups.
In an overall glance, it becomes apparent that grades
are certainly not absolute items. They do mean a great deal
in admittance to certain, colleges and honoraries; they may
mean something to potential employers. Far more impor
tant, however, than these figures on a piece of paper is the
fiincere effort of each student to do creditable learning, re
gardless of whether the result is a 5 or a 9.

Where it the CoritUtutional As&embly?
Hie j;rorxiyed Aibt-xnLly which was heralded long and loud by
the front jvaze of The Daily N'c-hra.skan stems to have dropjxfd from
view. Not a line of print has issued for MVeral days from these Keered
eclmuns but the work is going on.
Bob Wallace and hi constituent on the uteerinr committee are
qaietly and dilixently going ahead. The committee has ket tentative
dates for the conference and laid the ground work for representation
and agenda.
The steering committee, composed of seven busy iH?ople, has
managed to squeeze out lime tor the pi'Ot devoting their lunch
hour each day. It's a long up-hill pull.
The work of the assembly is demanding. It is not pointed or in
a.ny other manner associated with the activities which usually basque
in iampuh glory. It's steering committee was aked to serve and is
evin'ing a zeal which amazes.
Some of the reauIU of the committee's action will be announced
in the next few weeks, but the long hours of planning and checking
information will go unnoticed into the annals of history to stand
beside other worthwhile and unpraised projects.
So time out, for a brief tribute to the Constitutional Steering
committee and to all other organizations who d their woik quietly
arid efficiently to make the wheels of campus progress go 'round.

Former President Hoover
charged the military defense with
"startling" spending which may
be .seriously imperiling our na
tional economy. Congress, accord
ing to Hoover is entirely unaware
of this spending. With the plan
to aid Europe this economy at
home is very essential.
KATI1Y Fiscus, the little three-year-old
California girl who fell
down a 14-inch well, was finally
rescued Monday but it was ap
parent that she had been dead
three hours after her faU. The
rescue will go down in history
as probably the greatest attempts
of the century.
SOME members of Congress de
clared Monday that the farm pro
gram plan proposed by Secretary
of Agriculture Brannan was fan
tastic. "An enormous amount of
money, running into the 10 bil
lions would be necessary for the
program," said one member.
