Faculty Senate extends time
n rimnt I INI lab courses
f w ai -
I
The UNL Faculty Senate voted Tuesday to
extend the drop period for lab courses to the
eighth week of the semester, the same as for
nonlab courses.
The Senate Grading Committee said
enrollment pressures, which required that lab
courses be dropped "four weeks earlier than other
courses, have eased in many departments, and
that the four week difference would not result in
a significant increase in the number of drops. The
change will make the grading system more
uniform.
The senate also passed a provision which
stated that the approval of the dean of the
college is no longer needed for a student to
change from a grade to passfail or from passfail
to grade. Most deans said their approval is
automatic in the majority of cases and that this
change would reduce the amount of red tape.
The committee recommended that a student
be allowed to retake courses in which he received
a grade of C, but the senate rejected this on the
grounds this would encourage the recent
inflation of grades. It was observed that a student
now needs a cumulative grade point average
(GPA) of 3.9 or better to graduate with
distinction.
However, it was unanimously agreed that the
section on "Removal of D and F Grades,"
printed in the semester class schedule, be
rewritten to include the fact that, although the
grade of D or F is removed from the students
GPA, it still appears on his transcript. This also
applies to transfer students from UNO.
The committee proposal to change the system
on incompletes and reword that section of the
semester class schedule failed, on the basis that
the present system was adequate.
The senate approved the committee's changes
on withdrawals which stated that the grade W
(withdrawal) be given at the discretion of the
individual instructor. After the last date to drop
or withdraw, the dean of the college may
influence the instructor on his decision if the
student has run into unforeseen circumstances,
excluding academic problems.
60 YEARS AGO
Monday, Feb. 1, 191 5 "In this issue of the Daily Nebraskan
the political pot starts boiling. Charles M. Frey announces himself
as a candidate for the office of junior managing editor of the 1916
Cornhusker. This is an office which the voters in the sophomore
class fill at the general election to be held on Feb. 16."
"As a recreation from the strenuous hours of examinations
during the past week, tea has been served in a quiet corner of the
YWCA rooms. A large number of girls sought rest there each day
and were immediately served with tea and wafers by pleasant
hostesses."
"The members of the Union Literary Society went sleigh riding
last Friday night. The crowd was composed of about 10 couples
and that they had a good time is the least that can be said of it.
The party left the Temple at 8:50 and for the next two hours the
jolly Unions rode through the streets of Lincoln. At 1 1 :00 they
arrived at the home of Miss Hazel Allen at 1500 C St., where they
were served with an oyster supper."
