College student remains unknown as universities brace for new turmoil
Continued from page 3 15 to nine the number of
freshman seminars con
ducted by senior faculty
members has been expanded
sathat 369 of 1,400 freshmen
are in the seminars.
;At Brown University, letter
grades have been abolished
in, favor of "saiisfactory-no
credit" evaluation. Some
courses may still be taken
for a grade, but participation
is voluntary. The minimum
ccurse load for an un
dergraduate degree has been
lowered, and independent
study programs greatly ex
panded. The University of
I'iUsburgh has reduced from
credits required per term of
lower division students in
university-spec ified
disciplines, and has conv
erted from a pass-fail
grading option for juniors
and seniors only to a
sat isfactory-unsatisfactory
option for all students. The
option is good for one course
each term.
Previously closed com
mittees have been opened up
to student membership. The
American Association of
State Colleges and
U niversities. representing
many smaller state and
community c olleges,
reported recently that
students were sitting on ad
ministrative councils at over
half of its member schools.
Students at Ohio State now
sit on the Faculty Council
and Council of Academic Af
fairs, and hose at Oberlin
are included on the Judicial
Board. Stanford, F i s k ,
Vanderbilt, and Princeton
universities have added
students or recent graduates
to their boards of trustees.
M assachusetts recently
became the first state to pass
a law giving students a
voting membership on state
college and university
governing boards. One stu
dent will sit on each of the
state's five governing boards,
overseeing the University of
Massachusetts, Southeastern
Massachusetts University,
Lowell Technological
Institute, 11 state colleges
and 12 community colleges.
Non-voting student
representatives are now in
cluded on the governing
boards of state schools in
Kentucky and Wyoming and
at the University of
Washington.
And the battle against "in
loco parentis" still goes on at
some schools. The University
of Maryland this fall
abolished women's hours for
all women, and Ohio
University has added

Meanwhile, though the
campuses have been quiet in
the early weeks of 1969-70,
students have been organiz
ing. At the University of
Colorado students have
formed a tenants union and
are ready to begin a rent
strike. Rent strikes already
are underway in the com
munities surrounding the
universities of Michigan,
Wisconsin, and California at
Berkeley.
Promotion of the Oct. 15
Moratorium appears to be
the major student political
activity of the fall. Leaders
of the national Vietnam War
Moratorium Committee
claim students at more than
500 colleges are committed to
spending that date in teach
ins, rallies, and vigils against
the war.

This is it! The big new look that's taking over the cam

Roxy suit, and it's revolutionary from the shaped waist
to the wide lapels to the deep center vent to the flared
trousers. And it's fashioned of a year-round blend of
70 Dacron polyester and 30 worsted that's built
for action... the carefree kind. Try it on today. And get
