Course Deficiencies
Abolished in New Book
Course deficiencies in academic
classification have been abolished.
The new edition of college regu
lations changed the rule to “sopho
more, junior and senior classifica
tion will be granted students on
completion of 30, 60 and 95 semes
ter hours respectively.”
The old book stated that a
sophomore classification will be
granted only to a student who has
satisfied all requirements for ad
mission into one of the degree
granting schools.
Juniors were required to have
no freshman deficiency and lack
not more than eight semester
hours of having completed all the
work of the first and second years
of his curriculum with a grade
point ratio of 1.00 or more.
Senior status was granted to
students with no freshman or soph
omore deficiency or lacking more
than eight hours of having com
pleted all the work of the first
three years of his curriculum, and
who had grade point ratios of 1.00
or more.
Other Changes
The new edition of the “blue
book” has many other major and
minor changes.
Class officers will be elected
during the first and second weeks
in April, and the general election
will be held the fourth week in
May.
In the past, both the class and
general elections were held in
March.
This year, classes with an en
rollment of less than twelve stu
dents will be dropped on the fifth
day after the close of registration,
unless continued by specific action
of the Executive Committee.
The old regulation read lower
level classes with an enrollment
of less than ten students, and u()per
level classes with an enrollment of
less than six students, will be
dropped on the fifth day after the
close of registration, unless direct
ed otherwise by the Executive
Committee.
Classes Dropped
Graduate classes, other than re
search or problem courses, with an
enrollment of less than four stu
dents were to be dropped on the
fifth day after the close of regis
tration, unless permitted to con
tinue by the Executive Committee.
The dean of a student’s school
will now act on requests to substi
tute courses. Last year, students
could not substitute a course for
one they had failed without per
mission from the Executive Com
mittee.
The only change in offenses pun
ishable by dismissal from the col
lege is “at any time or place” has
been added to the anti-gambling
rule.
A regulation reading “all stu
dents, except graduate students,
must live in college dormitories
unless living with members of
their immediate families” has been
inserted.
Dormitory rooms may be painted
now only with the permission of
the counselor. Students also must
have permission from the counselor
to install window fans. Installa
tion rules are given.
Student Organizations
Rules governing student organi
zations now appear in “The Blue
Book.” Athletic, literary, relig
ious, class, musical, scientific or
technical, honorary or social or
ganizations may be formed if ap
proved by the student activities of
fice.
Meetings will be held as follows:
Monday, honorary societies, school
councils and organizations not ap
pearing below; Tuesday, technical
and departmental clubs and socie
ties; Wednesday, religious activi
ties; Thursday, home town clubs
and student senate; and Friday,
called meetings.
The Student Life Committee
will consist of ten faculty and staff
membei’s this year instead of nine
faculty members as was the case
in the past.
The grade point ratio require
ment for Battalion, Aggieland and
magazine editors has been reduced
from 1.5 to 1.25. Editors need no
longer apply to the Student Life
Committee for a qualification
statement.
Editors Removable
Magazine editors now may be re
moved for failure to maintain sat
isfactory scholastic progress or for
excessive class absences. Student
senators are now required to serve
for two semesters.
The new book also has regula
tions concerning the date of elec
tion, qualifications and positions
of class "officers. These were omit
ted last year.
