Minirhum including transfer credit: Average 0-29 1.10 30 - 59 1.30 60 - 89 1.60 90 - 109 1.80 110 and over 1.90 Standards Change Puts Policies Here In Line The faculty has approved an ad justment of its continued enroll ment and readmission policies which piaces them more in line with other campuses of the Uni versity and other institutions of higher education. The change is directed toward giving students who are performing well a continued opportunity. At the same time the standards are equally as high as other campuses of theUniversityofNorthCarolina. The new policy assures that any new student who attends the Uni- versity may remain for two full semesters or until 30 semester hours have been attempted, which ever happens last. Another change is that as a gen eral rule, the summer session shall be open to all students pre viously enrolled at UNC-C, in cluding students academically in eligible to continue during the re gular academic year. After the student has earned 60 ■semester hours, he is expected to make at least a 2.0 quality point ratio for each semester. A stu dent at this level who makes less 3 Seniors Get Fulbright Nominations ipin BY SANDY CAUDLE Three seniors have been nom inated for the Fulbright-Hays Fell owship by the University Fulbright Committee, announced Dr. Robert W. Rieke, Fulbright Program Ad visor. They are Miss Betty Ann Craig, Mr. Charies Allen Honey cutt, and Miss Gloria E. Morrow. The fellowship inciudes trans portation, tuition, books, and main- tainence tor an academic year abroad. “Miss Craig, who has a joint major in Spanish and Political Science, has applied to Latin America and indicated that she wishes to study in any one of three countries — namely, Colombia, Equador, Venezuela. She wishes to make a study of University stu dent federations, ” explained Dr. Rieke. “Mr. Honeycutt, a French major, wishes to study in France, particularly Neo - Classic drama, emphasizing the tragedies of Racine. “Miss Morrow, an English major, has applied to study at Allen Honeycutt the University of Sydney in Aus- trailia, where she plans to make a comparative study of American and Austrailian fiction of the late nineteenth - early twentieth cen turies.” The Fulbright - Hays Scholar ship was first established in 1946 Gloria Morrow by the Fulbright Act, which author ized the use of foreign credits and currencies accuring to the United States through the sale of sur plus war properties abroad for the purpose of financing educational exchanges. Appointed Chairmen Meet, Start Revision Committee BY GAYLE WATTS The appointed committee chair men of the student government met in the office of student body president Tim Britton on Wednes day, November 16. In announcing the formation of a ■ constitutional revision committee, of which he serves as non-voting chairman, Britton said that to “involve more students in stu dent government” is an important goal of this committee. As a means of acquainting stu dents more closely with their stu dent government, the Executive Council of the Student Government has plans to publish a guide to the government, to be available soon. The possibility of holding an open legislature meeting was discussed. In this way, students could see first hand how the legislature car ries on its business. A referendum to determine the desire of the student body con- Chancellor Colvard Approves Student Publications Board Chancellor D. W. Colvard es tablished a Board of Student Pub lications in a memorandum on November 18. The board is to operate in accordance with the Constitution printed in the Oct ober 5 edition JOURNAL. The Publications Board is to have 10 members. Of these, three will come from the faculty while students will fill the remaining seven positions. Appointed to the Board already are faculty members Dr. Darryl McCall, Chairman, for a three- year term; Dr. Bonnie Cone, for a two-year term; and Miss Ann Foster, for a one-year term. Stu dents appointed by Dr. Colvard are Ellison Clary, editor of the CAROLINA JOURNAL and Sandra Brantley, editor of the Nugget. Mr. Kenneth Sanford was de signated as an ex officio member “in order to assure the availa- bilty of public information through his office and any other benefits which naturally arise from that association.” The remaining five positions will be filled in the following manner; Both the JOURNAL and the Nug get are to choose one represen tative each to serve on the Board. One student is to be elected to membership by the Student Leg islature. Two students - at - large shall be elected to membership by the student body. cerning a mascot name change was announced. Britton said the ballot would offer two choices, yes and no. A blank would also be pro vided for suggested names if the voter should be in favor of a change, he said. That referendum is being held today. Preventive measures were dis cussed to reduce the great num ber of books which have disapp eared from the library. These stolen books run into the thou sands of dollars. Many times, such books are out of print and are very expensive to replace. One plan advanced is to estab lish a book check at the doors of the library. The checkers would make sure that all library books being taken from th e library had been properly checked out. Problems surrounding this pro cedure are salaries for the ex tra employees envolved and dis senting opinions as to the desir- ablilty of such a check on students. The concensus opinion of the chairmen concerning the honor code is that the campus should have such a code, but one more particular than the catch - all system which is now in effect. An amendment to limit the num ber of night school representatives to the legislature to one repre sentative for every seventy-five students has been proposed. In the past, the night school has had as many as eight positions available. Betty Craig It also authorized the Secretary of State to encourage other coun tries to participate in the exchange program under the act. The Fulbright - Hays Act of 1961 served to broaden the pow ers of this program. Dr. Rieke concluded, “All three candidates have been strongly re commended by the University Ful bright Committee. The candidates will not know whether they have been selected or not until April or May, 1967, at which time the awards are announced.” than a 2.0 ratio in any given sem ester will be placed on academic probation. A student on academic probation shall be limited to a maximum of 15 hours attempted in a semester. A student’s quality point ratio will be computed on the basis of hours attempted at the University of North Carolina, except that no more hours of “F” than hours of credit for a course will be used in ascertaining the quality point ratio. In other words a stu dent will only be penalized for the first “F” if he takes a course more than once and fails it more than once. No student wiU be suspended at the end of any semester for.which his quality point ratio is at least 2.20. The new readmission policy al lows a student to re-enter, if he has been suspended by reason of failure to satisfy the requirements for continued enrollment, after the expiration of the next semester following his suspension (except that he will be permitted to en roll in the summer session) or when he meets the requirements for continued enrollment. After readmission, he will be expected to satisfy the requirements for continued enrollment. To re - enter after suspension a second time he must have the quality point average made up by summer school or by corres pondence courses. These may be taken at any campus of the Uni versity of North Carolina in which the student is eligible to enroll. If a student attends another in stitution after suspension here, he may be readmitted, provided that he presents a minimum of 24 credit hours of acceptable work from that institutiCKi. In this case, he will be accepted as a trans fer student and must satisfy the requirements for continued enroll ment. Under extenuating circum stances and upon the recommenda tion of the student’s academic dean, an appeal for readmission may be considered by the app ropriate admission committee.
