President Donovan and Dean Cooper reported briefly to the Faculty
on the recent meetings of the National Association of State Universities
and the American Association of Land Grant Colleges. They interpreted

probably would play in the war effort, and the bearing which the pending
amendment to the Selective Service Act will have on the future of colleges
and universities. President Donovan particularly emphasized the impore
tance of keeping alive during these times the cultural aspects of a
university's program as opposed to the demands of the immediate and
practical.

Minutes of the Faculty of the University - November 18, 1942

The Faculty heard the report of the special committee appointed
by President Donovan to suggest revisions in the calendar, with a
view to soaperating to the fullest extent in the solution of the
transportation problem. The recommendation of the committee was as
follows:

That the Christmas recess begin after the last class on

, Wednesday, December 16, that registration for the winter quar-
ter be held for all local students and others who may be on
hand on Tuesday afternoon, January 5, that all other students
register according to an alphabetical schedule on Wednesday.
January 6, and that all classes begin on Thursday, January 7.
The committee also recommends the elimination of the spring
vacation, which would mean that the winter quarter would end
Saturday noon, March 20. and that registration for the spring
quarter would begin on Monday, March 22.

This recommendation was approved by the Faculty, and the Secretary
was asked to give the matter the necessary publicity.

Upon recommendation of Dean Funkhouser. the petition of John S.
Kookogey was approved. Mr. Kookogey asked that he be allowed half
credit in the courses in which he was enrolled and passing, although
forced to leave for military service two days before the close of the
required eight weeks' period.

On recommendation of Dean Wiest, the petition of Charles B.
Richardson Was approved. Mr. Richardson asked that he be allowed full
credit for the courses in which he was enrolled and passing, although
forced to leave for military service two days before the close of
the required eight weeks' period.

Also on recommendation of Dean Wiest. the Faculty approved the
petition of Howard J. Bilharz. Mr. Bilharz was inducted into the
Army on November 14, which was five days before the close of the ree
quired eight weeks' period. He requested that he be allowed full
credit in courses in which he was passing at the time of leaving.

In response to a question from Dean Wiest, the Faculty again
discussed the factors that should govern in preparing an application
for outoofestate travel. Attention was called to the fact that Dean
Evans and Mr. Peterson had been asked to prepare a statement that
would serve as a guide to members of the staff making such requests.

Dean Funkhouser reported that the Southern Conference of Graduate
Deans had discussed the question of giving offecampus courses with
residence credit and had gone on record as approving this plan, at
least for the duration of the war emergency.

Mr. Peterson asked for guidance in his efforts to reduce the
mileage on the University trucks by certain changes in the delivery
of campus mail. The proposal submitted by Mr. Peterson was approved
by the Faculty.

On recommendation of Dean Boyd, the petition of Oscar W. Sellers

The following report from the Rules Committee was adopted by
the Faculty:

"On April 28, 1942, the Faculty of the College of Arts
and Sciences made recommendation to the University Faculty
concerning procedures for preeclassification of students and
on the classification of junior transfer students who score
less than 25% on the University entrance tests. These matters
were referred to the Rules Committee by the University Faculty
for study and report. '

The proposals on preeclassification seem designed especially
to meet the problems of the College of Arts and Sciences. They

concern principally the extension of the advisory system so a
that every student will have a private conference with his ad: 0
visor before registration. The committee recommends, therefore. (
