Iii English R juircmenfo-"- An Arts and Sciences Collepe
faculty imrtinu' may be hold next
week to consider the lust two of
seven proposed changes in the
Fiilish requirements of the college. The first five proposals were
approved Monday.
Dean M. M. White said Wednesday that all seven of the recommendations must be passed as a
unit ix'fore they can go into effect.
Four of the proposals would require approval of the University
faculty, but the other three would
become effective as soon as they
were passed.
Only one of the recommendations passed Monday would effect
students now in school. It would
make marking and penalizing for
errors in English usage an ac- -

ccptrd and regular practice in all
departments of the follrge. It
would go into effect immediately
if the faculty approved the proposals as a whole.

The other four propn als would
involve transfer indents and Incoming freshmen, and would have
to be approved bv the University
faculty. One of these would require a erade of C in English la.
One of the recommendations still
to be discussed would require students of the college to rewrite
papers which do not meet acceptable standards of English."

The other requests Instructors to
report any student whose English
is "seriously defective", to the
dean.
