Dr. Chamberlain stated that the Committee on Faculty Agenda had scheduled
a discussion of the University's Centers but that the accumulation of routine
business had made it necessary to cancel that topic. He asked if the Faculty
would go on record as favoring this discussion at the December meeting, with
all business postponed to the January meeting of the Faculty, unless it should
be of an emergency nature. The Faculty approved a motion that the topic of
University Centers be given priority at the December meeting.

Dr. Scherago, Chairman of the Schedule Committee, presented a proposed
calender for 1961—62. In doing so he called attention to the action of the
University Faculty last January when it approved the calendar submitted by the
College of Medicine, which provides for a 14 week term before Christmas and a

22 week term following the Christmas vacation, interrupted by a onenweek vacation

during the week of April 15, and ending with the second week in June. Dr.
Scherago stated that the Schedule Committee was of the opinion that the Univer—
sity should have one spring vacation.

Dean Willard explained that the time for the spring vacation was chosen
to coincide with meetings of scientific organizations and that it was important
not only to the faculty of the College of Medicine but also to faculties of
science departments in other colleges.

After further discussion action on the calendar was postponed to the
December meeting and the Secretary was requested to have copies sent to the
entire teaching staff of the University.

Dr. W.M. Carter, Chairman of the Rules Committee, presented the following
recommendation from that committee, which was approved.

At its meeting on October 28 the Committee on Rules voted to
recommend to the University Faculty the following rule governing
the admission of out-of—state freshmen to the University:

All out-of-state’applicants must submit the results
of scholestic aptitude tests at the time of application
for admission.

his class will be denied admission unless a review of
all the available evidence gives reasonable assurance
that he can meet the minimum academic requirement of the
University.
