UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eu gene. Dec. 10. (special.) Instruc tors I n the university believe that the matter of holding classes on Satur days should not be brought about by I a faculty ruling and have expressed their opinion that by a method of slow adjustment, Saturday classes will j eventually be scheduled. The subject of holding classes on j Saturdays was not discussed in the j faculty meeting held this week, but i a revision of the grading system was ' made. Heretofore instructors have I given a grade known as a condition to students who have done work be- low a passing quality, with the pro- 1 vision that a passing grade could be j obtained by additional work. The rulings now provide that work below the passing mark shall receive a failure, or If the student for some reason has not been able to take all his examinations, an incomplete will be given. The abolition of the grade condi- j tton brings the eligibility require- i meats of the Pacific coast conference and the scholarship requirements of: the -university Into approximation. The rules governing the Pacific coast conference require that a man make i Union. 1 12 hours before being admitted to play in conference games.
