The Faculty Senate voted 131 to
5 to limit the final examination
period for next semester to one
week.
. There was no debate on the pro
posal before the rote "was taken.
One amendment was proposed and
passed.
The new regulation eliminates the
traditional two-day free-rn
period immediately preceding ex
amination period and lengthens
the instructional period.
Three additional days of classes
will be added to each semester
under the new regulation.
Registration will take place after
exams, instead of previous to the
exara period. One free day will be
provided before the second se
mester's classes begin for regis
tration and mid year commence
ment. This provision was the only
amendment to the original propos
al. Students will not be dismissed
from classes a week earlier with
the shortened exam period. The
number of days which the Univer
sity is in session is a prescribed
number. Any attempt to dismiss
students early would endanger
the University's accreditation and
cause confusion with the Veteran's
Administration concerning students
going to school under the G. L
Bill.
Examinations will be cut to two
and one-half hours under the new
regulation. Three exams a day and
19 test periods were scheduled
under the original proposal.
The regulation was presented un
der the joint auspices of the Pol-
icy, liaison, Calandar and Fiual
Examinations Committees with
administration encouragement.
"I feel that there is little bene
fit to be derived from the new
system; the Arts student will not
be given much time to prepare
and cogitate for his exams," Dr.
Robert Sakai, assistant professor of
history, said.
Two weeks mere necessary for
both students and faculty to pre
pare and grade exams, Dr. Boyd
Carter, head of the romance lan
pjage department, said. Dr. Car
ter feel? the new regulation de
emphasizes the final exam, an in
tegral part of education.
This is evidence of a further
lowering of standards; the student
is not to learn' on his own volition
but to be spoon-fed, Robert Knoll
said. "The move shows a lack of
respect for the student," he ad
ded. There is an increased possibility
of students having two and even
three exams in one day under the
new plan. Dr. Stanley Ross, assist
ant professor of history, said.
Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin
and Dean J. Philip Colbert were
not present at the meeting. Frank
E. Henzlick, Dean of Teachers Col
lege, presided at the meeting.

Theater Mors, Audience
oth Enlov
By MARY SHELLEDY
Staff Writer
Thomas Dekker's "The Shoe
maker's Holiday" is an Elizabeth
an comedy of happy confusion and
bawdy humor. The University
Theater production captures its
exuberant spirit with evident en
joyment. Although the play as written is
not so much of a farce as the
cast occasionally plays it, it is
good fun for both them and the
audience.
Dick Marrs, as Simon Eyre, the
rags-to-riches shoemaker, brings
out Eyre's natural dignity as well
as his roaring energy. It seems
consistent that Eyre could be
come Lord Mayor of London, while
still enjoying his ale with the boys
even though hew it happens is
not althgether clear.
The most delightful character is
Euyene Peyroux's asinine Master
Hammon. Peyroux obtained the
first honest laughs from the small
audience Tuesday night. His scenes
with Rose (Josephine Margolin)
were genuinely funny.
Some of the characters were hard
to understand at first, as they
spoke too loud and too quickly.
But in this play, missing a line or
two is no great loss.
