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.
