QP’S WILL AFFECT CLASS CUTS, OFFICE HOLDING
By Patty Nash
The Committee on Academic
Standards has announced several
changes in the academic regula
tions. These changes will' go into
effect in the fall of 1963.
Three areas of academic life are
affected by the new regulations.
The summer school regulations will
remain the same. There is no
change in classification quality
point requirements.
Beginning next September, all
new transfer students must have a
quality point ration of 2.0 on all
work taken at Salem. Transfer
students already at Salem are not
affected.
The conditions of probation are
now based on a semester only, as
hown in the following table. The
quality point ratio is determined
for each semester independently.
At the end of the first semester,
if the quality point ratio is less
than 1.2, the student is placed on
academic probation second semes
ter; end of second semester—^1.6—
probation third semester; end of
third ■ semester — 1.7 — probation
fourth semester; end of fourth
.semester — 1.8 — probation
fifth semester; end of fifth semes
ter—1.9—probation sixth semester;
end of sixth semester—2.0—pro
bation seventh semester; end of
seventh semester —2.0— probation
eighth; end of eighth semester—2.0
—probation ninth semester.
The student who is on academic
probation must follow the class at
tendance regulations of the first se
mester freshman. In addition, she
may not hold a major office while
on probation. If a student is on
academic probation for two conse
cutive semesters and fails to earn
a quality point average high enough
to remove her from probation by
the end of the academic year in
which the second probation occurs,
she is automatically excluded unless
special exception is made by the
faculty. A student may apply for
re-admission to Salem after one or
more semesters of academic work
at an accredited institution.
Exclusion, at present, depends
upon a student’s average during one
icademic year. It is now based on
cumulative quality points and hours.
Freshmen must pass, in the college
year, at least 18 semester hours,
vith 1.2 quality point ratio. Sopho
mores and second-year college stu
dents must have credit for 42 se
mester hours at the end of the
year with a quality point ratio of
1.5. Juniors and third year college
students must have credit for 90
semester hours at the end of the
year with a quality point ratio of
1.8. If these qualifications are not
met, the student automatically ex
cludes herself from college unless
special exception is made by the
faculty. A student may apply for
re-admission to Salem after one or
more semesters of academic work
at an accredited institution.

As part of an international effort
in civil defense, three fallout shel
ters on the Salem campus have
been stocked with food and water
supplies, sanitary and medical kits,
and radiation detection instruments.
The food and water, which is
sufficient to provide for 364 people
for a period of two weeks, will not
have to be replaced at intervals, for
each package is sealed and is air
tight. According to Jack White,
assistant to Salem’s president, the
food is “biscuits.” “I haven’t
opened a package,” commented Mr.
White, “but I shouldn’t think the
‘biscuits’ would be like grand
mothers’ were.” He added, “It may
not be good eating, but it will be
eating.”
In addition to the present stock
of the fallout shelters, college of
ficials plan to utilize dining hall
stock since it can be transferred
from the refectory to the shelters
in a matter of minutes if necessary.
National Teacher Examinations
will be given to the seniors who
are working for a teacher’s certi
ficate on Saturday, February 16.
During the morning hours, the
common exams will be, given. These
include tests on professional infor
mation, English expression, social
studies, literature, fine arts, science
and math, and non-verbal reason
ing. Optional exams will be given
in the afternoon. The student

this group. The National Teacher
Examinations are given in Febru
ary of each year by the Educational
Testing Service and are required
by the State of North Carolina.

turne F Sharpe,” and “Scherzo B
Flat Minor” by Chopin.
Salemites have been evaluating
programs, traditions and rules on
campus this year. One of the pro
grams which has been undergoing
such evaluation has been FITS.
Legislative Board sponsored a poll
in order to see just how Salem
students felt about the present
FITS program. Students indicated
that there were diverse opinions on
the value of the FITS program, in
general, the value of beanies and
nametags and, the length of the
program. Consequently, there has
been a revision of the FITS pro
gram.
Next year, new plans that have
resulted from the evaluation will
be initiated. FITS will last for
