The University Faculty met in the Assembly Room of Lafferty Hall,

Monday, November 12, at 4 p.m. In the absence of ?resident Donovan,
Vice President Leo M. Chamberlain presided. Members absent were:
Merl Baker, A.J. Brown, W.P. Garrigus, Ellis Hartford, L.J. Horlacher,
Frank D. Peterson, Jonah Skiles*, A. E. Slesser, Herman E. Spivey*, i
E. E. Stein, M. R, SulliVan, D. V. Terrell, Lawrence Thompson‘, Frank
J. Welch, and M. M. White*.

Dean Kirwan presented for the Committee on Student Organizations
a request from the Accounting Club of the College of Commerce for per»
mission to petition a charter of Beta Alpha Psi, National Accounting
Fraternity. This request was approved by the University Faculty.

Dr. Koppius, Chairman of the Committee on Schedule of Classes.
presented a report on the Committee's study of the University calendar
for 1952—53, This study had been requested by the University Faculty ,
at its meeting, May 14. The Committee's report is as follows: 3

 

Your Committee on Schedule of Classes presents herewith the \
proposed calendar for the year l952e53. It will be noted that this
calendar does not differ materially from that of 1951652. In making ‘
a Calendar, the interests and functions of the whole University must ‘
be taken into account. This your Committee has attempted to do. The
Faculty and Staff were invited to make suggestions (only four coma
munications were received), .The Chairman interviewed informally a f
number of the faculty and students. The Deans and other administra»
tive officers were also interviewed.

Specifically the Committee was charged through two motions last
year by this Faculty to consider (1) shortening the period between
the two semesters, and (2) shortening the period between the second
semester and the Summer Session. It appears that neither period can
be shortened if the services desired and required from the respectiVe
University agencies are to be effectively maintained,

 

Regarding (1): All Deans and their office and advisory personnel
desire to have on hand the grades of ALL students for the first
semester in order to assist intelligently in the classification of f
students for the second semester. The fact that some instructors fail
to have their final grades in the Registrar's office within 48 hours
after the close of the examination (which is a rule of this Faculty)
does not make this important information useless; it does render it
incomplete. A more conscientious effort on the part of the faculty
would be desirous in order to have as nearly a complete a record as f
possible. It appears that one week is the minimum time necessary for I
this information to be processed so as to have it available at clas—
sification for the second semester.

I
Regarding (2): "Junior Week", the 4511 Club Week, falls in the ‘1 5

week immediately following Commencement. This activity of the 3
UniVersity cannot be changed. During the second week after Commence~

whole University are taken into account, we already have a good calendar.

Any radical modification in this calendar will prevent some of the
agencies from rendering the services, or from carrying through those
functions which they now yerform.
Faculty desires having these agencies to continue rendering these services
and performing these functions.
the Committee recommends the adoption of the calendar for 1952—53 as
presented herewith.
