Finals (continued from page I) The registrar’s office has a difficult time meeting deadlines, and is put under more pressure when a student who is unsure of his graduation is constantly stopping in to check, he said. In structors must deal with margin al students who ask for grade changes, and the students are under pressure from relatives or employers, Gillespie said. If a marginal student fails to meet his graduation require ments because of one class, Gil lespie said, he may take the final in that class to raise his grade. However, the student will not be allowed to graduate until the fol lowing semester, he added. The anxiety for all might be lessened if all graduating seniors were required to take finals, Gil lespie said. Dr. Murray H. Milford, pro fessor of soil and crop sciences, said another, and apparently less popular, suggestion for re lieving pressure would be to de lay graduation one week. Finals for graduating seniors still would not be mandatory, he said. Under Milford’s suggestion, final grades for graduating seniors would not be due at the registrar’s office until the Friday of dead week, and graduation would be the weekend after finals. Milford’s plan is intended to eliminate what he calls “kill week,” the week before dead week. A significant number of graduating seniors lose honor graduate status specifically be cause of excess work due during kill week, Milford said. Not only do graduating seniors have ex ams in almost all their classes, but many also have speeches, re ports and other projects that other students don’t have to turn in until dead week. The result of such pressure often ends in mental, physical and emotional exhaustion for the student, Milford said. If gra duation were delayed one week, he added, these students would have that one extra week to com plete those assignments. Food poisoning cases prompt meat recall United Press International WASHINGTON — A Con necticut firm that ships meat to numerous states has voluntarily recalled 130,000 pounds of corned beef after food poison ing organisms were discovered in the product, the Agriculture Department said Wednesday. No cases of illness have been reported by people who ate the corned beef with salmonella organisms even though recalls often follow cases of food poisoning. This case was disco vered in routine meat testing by agriculture inspectors. Salmonella causes salmonel losis, or food poisoning. Food poisoning can be prevented with proper handling of meat and the organism can be destroyed through cooking. The cooked corned beef was produced by Mosey’s Corned Beef Inc. in Bloomfield, Conn., agriculture officials said. Corned and roast beef from other plants are also being analyzed. Donald Houston, administra tor of the department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, said a precautionary recall was initiated because 130,000 pounds of potentially contamin ated meat were distributed to delicatessens and similar retail outlets in 19 states, including Texas. Houston said consumers who think they may have purchased suspect meat should contact the store where they bought it. Mosey’s is notifying its distribu tors to return suspect meat, which produced between lan. 8 and Feb. 1.
