Page 2, THE PILOT, Tuesday, December 12, 1972 “Peace On Earth” In a world of discontent, war. and unrest it seems interesting that the phrase, “Peace On Earth, Goodwill to Men” continues to be proclaimed each holiday season. It is almost as the futile attempt of the traditional “give gifts to the poor” routine which is a favorite during Christmas. The recent decision of the SGA to cooperate with the CCCA is to be commended. The SGA has shown insight in its decision to work with the CCCA throughout the year by donating items which will care for the physical needs of the financially strained of the local commun ity. Agreed, the physical welfare of the people is important but their problems are not merely a need of necessities. Their emotional and spiritual welfare are of equal importance and as an academic institution with abstract ideology it seems that there could be a more cretive re sponse to their needs. It would begin with interction with people on a person-to-person basis. This has been a criticism for years and it has become a popular Christmas editorial but it is still most appropriate. Students have been wrapped in their blanket of security for too long; the outside world cannot be viewed in an unrealistic light. It cannot be handed a basket of food and solve its problem^ It cannot heal itself with a mere Christmas wish thrown to the air. Now is the time to throw back the covering and encounter the world face-to-face. DYT Course Scheduling And Planning Students that reach senior status usually have their basic require ments fulfilled and their major subjects almost completed. This allows the senior to use his electives and take some courses for enjoyment or for mere curiosity. It is disheartening when the courses that are listed in the official catalog and courses that you had planned to take are not scheduled. Courses that are listed in the catalog as second semester courses should be scheduled and taught. Of course there must be adequate student enrollment to substantiate the course and a capable professor to teach the course. These requirements are necessary but still most courses that are listed should be scheduled. Courses that have not been taught for the last few years should be dropped from the catalog, or this becomes false advertising. If a course is offered only once every two years it should be stated in the catalog, to allow for advance schedule plan ning. It is difficult to plan schedules and to satisfy student’s academic needs, but students need to know when courses will be offered, and the catalog is the major source.

Possible Changes Fot Dean’s List Requirement Changes in the Dean’s List re quirement is being considered for next semester. The Educational Policy Committee approved a change whereby the Dean’s re quirement would be changed to 3.5 and a President’s List would be created which would be for recognition of students that re ceive a 4.0 quality point average for the semester. This recommendation will en tail the dropping of the Honor Roll which presently is recogni tion of students with a 3.2 semes ter average. The Dean’s List re quirement is presently 3.8 !ind the President’s List will be a new academic honor.. This change will not be effec tive this semester but it is just one change that is being con sidered. Mr. Tom McGraw, Vice- President of Academic Affairs, has asked that students react to these possible changes and express their feeling to him or to other faculty members.
