Advancement Rule:
Colbert To Request
Jr. Division Changes
3. P. Colbert, Dean of Student
t Affairs, will submit a proposal
r?arding advancement irom
Juuor Division, to the University
Senate at its meeting Tuesday at
4 p.m. In Love Library Auditorium
If the Senate approves this pro
posal, the advancement rule wm
be changed from the required four
emesters to three semester for
all freshmen students.
The 1949 rule passed by e
Senate states: "For students in
Groups B and E, college defi
eiencies shall be removed an(
choice of college shall be made as
raDidlv as Dossible. Only in rare
and unusual cases, shall a student
who enters the University as a
beginning freshman be permitted
to remain in the Division of Coun
seling and Guidance past the fourth
lemester".
Since then It is believed that a
etudent should demonstrate his
readiness to do satisfactory col
lege work by the time he has com
pleted his first year at the Uni
versity. Present rules regarding
advancement from the Junior Di
vision need to be modified If they
are to conform to this policy.
The new proposal to the pre
sented states: "It is to the best
interest of the student that he
qualify for admission to a college
of his choice as quickly as possible.
Ordinarily this should require no
more than one year after first en-

Parking:
Fact-Finding
Committee
Scheduled
In a letter to Chancellor Clifford
Hardin last week, Dean of Student
Affairs, J. P. Colbert and David
Keene, Chairman of the Parking
Appeal Board, recommended that
James Pittinger, Assistant to the
Chancellor, make a preliminary
study on the feasibility of organ
izing a committee to study Uni
versity parking problems.
This committee would be com
posed of representatives from six
areas of the University.
Colbert suggested that the repre
sentatives be from the office of
Administration, office of Student
Affairs, office of Buildings and
Grounds, a faculty member to be
appointed by the Chancellor, the
sergeant in charge of the Uni
versity Police and the chairman
of the Parking Appeal Board of the
Student Council.
"Although Keene has sueeested
that this committee would be
largely a fact-finding group, I feel
that it should go farther than that
and the committee could well be a
policy making group," Colbert
said.

At 10:30 he called his employer

It was the last time he was heard

He was first missed when he

further inquiries among Hoffman's
