Incomplete Grade System
Subject of Faculty Vote
Motions concerning the removal
of incompletes and requirements
for the bachelor’s degree will be
voted upon by the faculty at its

The first proposal would change
University legislation so that a
student, to remove an incomplete,
must complete the course within
his next three terms of residence in
the University, or at such earlier
date as the instructor may specify.
One Year Limit
As it now stands an incomplete
must be removed within one calen
dar year after receipt of the mark.
To this motion an amendment
has been added by P. J. Powers,
professor of romance languages.
The amendment states:
‘‘If an incomplete has not been
removed, or if the student has not
repeated' the course with a passing
grade, within his next three terms
of residence, the Registrar shall
change the incomplete to F. For
purpose of this motion, summer
sessions shall not be counted as
terms.”
45-Hour Rule Questioned
The second motion to be voted up
on would repeal the requirement
that “A minimum of 45 hours is
necessary after obtaining the Jun
ior Certificates before the bache
lor's degree is granted.”
Both motions will be presented
by C. F. Weigle, chairman of the
special Committee for the Study of
Academic Regulations.

cil is also scheduled to take place

members will be elected at the May

Art of Enjoying Music,” and many
others.

accounts for his ready sense of
humor, dependable grasp of human
