Avery Says Grades Normal Rumors that grading was stiffer, tests harder, and student perform ance poorer during the 1947 fall term were squelched today by Reg istrar Curtis E. Avery. He said the University scholastically was pret ty much the same as in preceding terms. Avery based his speculations on Nimitz Urges 'Radar Screen' WASHINGTON, Jan. 6—(UP). \dm. Chester W. Nimitz says the United States has “absolute” con trol of the seas, but he wants a “radar screen” to protect against another Pearl Harbor. A report prepared by Nimitz be fore he retired last month as chief of naval operations, and re leased ny the navy today, also called for carrier-based planes armed with .-.tom bombs for floating air bases, tnd submarines capable of launch ing guided missiles. ‘ Nimitz stressed that the Uni VUMlKAL NIMfTZ j led States must make the fullest j possible use of its technological ! -kills since it would be “relatively" { futmanned in any future war in j volving central Asia, east Asia or ! western Europe. Without mentioning Russia by name, he said neither east Asia CAMPUS SHOE SHOP Or. trill between Alder and Kincaid i the past term’s honor roll of 277 students, which hit a new high numerically for the University. It ■was believed that other grading would compare similarly. Last term's honor roll was de rived from a student body of 5,905. It topped by only eight students the largest preceding honor roll, that of spring, 1947, when 269 of 5,286 enrollees received a GPA of 3.50 or above. Out of slightly over 5,600 en nor western Europe will be “in a position to endanger us for decades to come unless they pass under unified totalitarian control.’’ “The earliest warning of enemy air attack against our vital cen ters should be provided by naval air, surface and submarine radar pickets deployed in the vast ocean spaces which surround the con tinent,” he wrote . “This is part of the radar screen which should surround the con tinental United States and its pos sessions.” rollees for fall term, 194b, stu dents were listed on the roll. In connection with the rumor of increasing failures, Vergil Fogdall, dean of men, warned that students with pegged grades should prepare now to raise their grade point av-i erage above the peg in order to insure registering for spring term. ; He said that on the basis of the ! precedent of last semester, regis tration for spring term cannot be completed until the peg is made. One of the main problems among men Students, according to Fogdall, is outside work. He said as much outside work as possible must be cut or the class load reduced if they ^ wish to pass. i “To be a successful student at the University of Oregon is a full- j time job,” Fogdall warned.
