Campus Poll
Opinions Vary
On Grading
By Larry Hobart |
Grades as a help or a hindrance
was the object of comment by
Oregon students in today's ppll.
Students were asked whether
they favored the use of a grad
ing system at college level or de
sired abolishment of the compul
sory evaluating plan. A program
calling for a strict grading system
for freshmen and sophomores and
the abolishing of grades for the
surviving juniors and seniors also
received the consideration of those
questioned.
Milt Hagan—junior in journal
ism—“I don’t think that grades
should " be eliminated. However,
there is too much emphasis plac
ed on grades by instructors. If
grades are to be cut out they
should be dropped throughout the
school, not for senior and juniors
alone.”
Burr Boutvvell—sophomore in
architecture—“I think grades are
played up too much in school to
day. The abolishment of numerical
grades would place greater em
phasis on individual worth. A
strict grading program for fresh
men and sophomores with no
grades in upper division work is
a good idea although total abolish
ment would be more satisfactory.”
Haltelou Thompson—freshman
in music—“Grades are necessary,
as they help a student strive for
a higher goal, but they’re certain
ly hard to get. If a person makes
a high GPA in his lower division
years he will probably continue
to do so and grades shouldn't be
required during his final two
years.”
I’nyliis lartriuge—rrcsnman in
pre-nursing'—“There have to be
grades so that students will know
where they are going. I think
weekly grades would be a good
idea. No grades for juniors and
seniors wouldn’t be too satisfact
ory as transfer students might ent
er the school without the period of
strict grading behind them which
would insure their capabilities.’’
Ceee Daniel—junior in business
administration—“I’d like to see all
the courses set up on the pass or
fail plan. Students who don’t
work shouldn’t be in school any
way.”
Norma Hultgren- sophomore in
English—“I think grades are
necessary, but they seem to be
completely over-emphasized on the
Oregon campus. There does have to
be some kind of a goal for stu
dents. Grade standards should be
the same throughout the four
classes. Upper-division students
also need a goal to work toward.”
Merle Mass—senior in journal
ism—“They shouldn’t have a rigid
system of grades with A, B, C, and
so forth. Grades aren’t indicative
anyway. A pass or fail system
would be the best plan. Some sort
of an entrance examination which
would weed out the people with
out the necessary ability is to be
desired. As a compromise, grades
for lower division students sounds
fair.”
Ann McLaughlin—freshman in
liberal arts—“I feel very strong
ly that grades should be abolished.
Students should be working for
an education rather than a grade.
The temptation to cheat would be
eliminated.”
Jim Glvnan—sophomore in busi
ness administration—“Grades are
certainly no indication of one's
ability. I don't think stiff grade
reguirements for freshman and
sophomores with no grades for
seniors and juniors would be a :
good plan. People who scraped I
through the first two years would j
probably not work during their |
upper division years.” '
Schleicher Handles
Speech Scheduling
All arrangements for speaking
engagements by foreign students
will be handled by Charles Schlei
cher, professor of political science,
instead of by James D. Kline,
foreign student adviser, it was an
nounced Tuesday by Kline's office.
Any group wishing one of the
foreign students as speaker may
contact Schleicher at extension
273.
Friday Speaker
(Continued from page one)
since 1939.
In 1927 he received the Glad
stone Memorial Prize and honors
in History at the University of
Birmingham. He completed his
Master of Arts degree in 1928 on a
University Research Scholarship,
and received the Commonwealth
Fund Fellowship to the John Hop
kins University the following year.
Dr. Taylor studied history at Har
vard in 1930.
Five Suspended
(Continued from page one)
Straub section Where only law stu
dents, graduate students and spe
cial students live.
Blinds Down
Blinds of the fourth floor room
were pulled, he said, and the grou^
was singing. During the evening
about 20 students came and went
from the room.
“There were only about nine bot
tles to begin with,” he declared,
“and several of the guys had a swal
low or two. Nobody had enough to
get drunk on.”
About 1:45 a.m. (Sunday), Asso
ciate Director of Student Affairs
James D. Kline passed the dormi
tory and heard the singing.
Kline entered the dormitory and
opened the door of the fourth floor
room. There were several students
in the room. Five were detained by
Kline, who took their names and in
terviewed them further Sunday.
Oral suspension followed.
Missing Classes
The five have not been in classes
this week, under terms of the oral
suspension, the student said.
The law students were fearful
Tuesday that a one-term suspen
sion in their cases would be equal
to a full year’s suspension, since
law students cannot begin school in
the middle of the year.
They were even more fearful for
the foreign student since he is here
on a scholarship, they said, and
since his visa is contingent upop his
going to school.
There are supposed to be 2.08
men to every woman at Oregon.
Who has the .8 man? In fact, who
has two men?
