which found it necessary to'send
the majority of the student tea
chers to schools which were not
exactly their preferred level or
location. The students have also
been reminded that the school
system is granting a favor by
allowing them to gain the train
ing required by the state for an
“A” certification for teaching in
public schools. Then, too, in Char-
lotte-Mecklenburg the openings in
secondary education are almost
totally in the junior high school
classes.
Some students, on the other hand,
feel that besides the statistics on

as well that the money for the
publication of the yearbook comes
from student activity funds and
that, in view of the fact that each
full time student at this school
pays $5 per semester toward the
publication of the yearbook, some
cognizance of our wishes and de
sires should be taken. If the pre
sent trend continues, we can fore
see a future edition of the “Rogues
’n Rascals” which will contain
only pictures and recognition of
the editor and his or her own
particular coterie.
We respectfully request, there
fore, that the Publications Board
invoke its power of supervision
and stop this unwarranted and ir
responsible exercise of editorial
power.

clude a debate between prominent
liberals and moderates employing
a student moderator. TTiis would
hopefully coincide with Barry
Goldwater’s spring appearance
here. A coffee house format, much
like the Green Garter, using local
student talent is also being con
sidered.
“I hope we’ll get a good turn
out at the Thursday auditions,”
said MacKay. “We could have
picked people we thought would
be best for the programs but now
we might find talented people we
didn’t know about.”
He said he hopes the first show
will go on as tentatively sche
duled but added he would like to
see a couple of dry runs before
that time, if possible.

the growing need tor teachers and
the improving plight of the public
school teacher, and the required
reading of novelettes on the re
wards of teaching youth in high
school situations, the education
students should be given some idea
of the facts of secondary educa
tion stituation in this area. Seve
ral of the students learned of the
necessity of starting their educa
tion careers in junior high school
for the first time when they began
their last semester of college.
Their preparation in subject
matter and in attitude would have
been more suitable, if they had
understood the system earlier.
Comparison of this school’s
assignments with those of other
colleges is not always valid since
the large majority of our students
requested positions in Mecklen
burg and thus put somewhat of a
strain on the number of high school
openings available. It can be noted
however, that all other branches
of the university and various other
colleges notified their students
of their assignments at least tour
weeks ahead of time so that ad
justments and arrangements couid
be made before the last tew weeks.
The source of the misunder
standings has been blamed on stu
dents, the Education Department,
and the school system. As far
as the students are concerned,
many of them are ready tor im
provements in the assignments
handled to this school, and several
are ready to act if given the op
portunity. They are reiuctant to
accept the “you-can’t -fight-City
Hail” explanations and resent
spending a mere eight weeks doing
something which they had no in.

Committee To Hear
Student Grievances
Long Beach, Calif. (I.P.) - A
measure recently proposed to the
Academic Senate at California
State Coliege at Long Beach would
establish a faculty subcommittee
to investigate setting up a faculty
commission to review student
grievances about semester grades.
“Some students occasionaily
feel that their course grade is
affected by professor’s personal
bias when their grades on papers
and tests during the semester are
consistentiy higher thanthe course
grades they receive. The students
feei that their personal rights
are being infringed upon if they
have no effective means of appeal,”
according to Dennis Murray,
Associated Students president.
At present, students must carry
their appeals to the dean of stu
dents. The proposed commission
would have no means to enforce
grade changes except through
intrafaculty pressure.
“Currently, the AssociatedStu-
dents is seeking information from
other colleges concerning their
methods of reviewing grades,”
said Murray. “The main concern
of those who feel the need tor
such a cwnmission is to give the |
students a feeling of efficacy j j
this computerized campus qi
ours,” he added. .
“The AssociatedStudentsisalsoi
interested in asking that an ‘aj
hoc’ committee of faculty members
be set up to discuss the flunk-out
rate of freshmen, currently about
50 per cent. The emphasis seems
to be on weeding out those who
haven’t adapted to coUege
academic needs rather than trj.
ing to help them, if the present,
rate of failing is any indication,'
The abilities of students aren’i
necessarily in a direct correla-
tion to their freshman year GPAs ’’
according to Murray.
