Eighty-two percent of the

taking a pass-fail course felt
it helped them learn without
worrying about grades.
Fifty-four of the students

Th majority of those
declining the pass-fail option
did so because the re

More than half of the pass-fail

pointed because the

a B-average because they will
be competing on a national
level, according to Esquenazi
Mayo, director of the Institute
for Latin American &
International Studies.
Esquenazi-Mayo said that
the prospective candidate's
chances for a Fulbright
Fellowship have been lessen
ed for the " 1969-70 year
because the amount of the
grants is one-third of what
it was for this year. The
reductions have come about
because the government de
sires to reduce travel over

Two University students,
Phyllis Donaldson and
A surprising number of
students knew very little
about the program, according
to the Education Committee's
report.
The committee felt that the
University community is too
grade conscious. Ask a stu
dent on the street how he is
doing In college. Will he say
"Fine, I'm learning some
fascinating things" or will he
quote his grade point
average?
The existing program is
good as a first step to reform.
However, If it is allowed to
stop at this point, the pro
gram would be hopelessly
inadequate, according to the
Committee.
Other large universities
have yet to implement a pass
fall system. Iowa and
Michigan State are serously

considering the program.
THE PROGRAM b a s
achieved some popularity on
the west coast however, ac
cording to Chatfield.
California Tech has adopted
a policy which requires all
freshmen courses to be pass
fail. But Cal Tech Is somewhat
different than NU, Chatfield
pointed out. It is more selec
tive in admissions and it is
a technical engineering
school.
Stanford, Oregon and the
University of California at
Berkely have all adopted
some form of the pass-fail
system
The pass-fail system Is not
very widespread, according to
Chatfield. He said the time
when all University courses
will be a pass-fail system is
"a long way off."
