Academic Senate Votes Pass-Fail
By BERNADETTE BROOTEN
Staff Writer
Among the major deci¬
sions of the Academic Sen¬
ate at the April 29, 1969
meeting was the adoption
of the pass-fail system. Af¬
ter much deliberation the
proposed draft, presented
by the Committee on Aca¬
demic Regulations, passed
by a vote of 17 to 4.
Pass-fail means that jun¬
iors and seniors may take
up to 12 hours a year on the
system and receive a pass
or a fail instead of a letter
grade. Only courses outside
of the major field and not
part of the core curriculum
may be taken on this basis.
To insure fairness in
grading and no overabun¬
dance of failing grades,
the instructors will not
know if a student is taking
his course on the pass-fail.
He will assign a letter
grade, and then the regis¬
trar will translate “A"
through “D” as “pass” and
“F” as “fail” for the trans¬
script. ,
Academic credit will be
given the same as normal,
but if a student fails he
will receive no credit and
the grade of “fail” will be
permanent in his trans¬
cript.
The proposal was amend¬
ed to add that all pass-fail
courses must be register¬
ed for at the beginning of
the semester before the
ordinary deadline for class
scheduling. No student
may change from taking a

course on a letter grade
basis to a pass-fail after
the semester has started
or vice versa.
Mike Zokoych, student
chairman of the pass-fail
committee, spoke before
the Senate in favor of the
proposal. Kathy Lester
and John Proctor also serv¬
ed on this committee. Dr.
Michael McCoy, chaired
the faculty committee on
Academic Regulation
which presented it.
Officers were elected for
the coming year. Reelect¬
ed were Rev. Joseph
Browne, CSC, Academic
Senate Chairman; Dr.
James Covert, Chairman of
Committee on Committees;
Dr. Philip Kennedy, Chair¬
man of Committee on Grad¬
uate Research; Dr. Arthur
Schulte, Jr., Chairman of
Committee on Rank and
Tenure; Rev. James Ander¬
son, CSC, Chairman of the
Committee on Curriculum;
and Anne Terlic, Secretary.
Rev. Michael Heppen,.
CSC, was elected Chairman
of the Committee on Aca¬
demic Regulations and
Paul Ouellette, Richard
Ganzel, Ronald Smit, and,
John Neeley were elected
to the Committee on Com¬
mittees.
After all this voting, one
senator was heard to re¬
mark, “Why don’t we have
a subcommittee on sub¬
committees?”
The various committees
reported on their activities.
Several major items were
discussed. Work is being
continued on the theology

Salaries Are Approved
But Culture Is Tabled
By MATT CHAPMAN
Managing Editor
In a long and occasion¬
ally boisterous meeting
the student senate began
the process of approving
budgets for next year’s
ASUP.
The meeting began with
a communication from
ASUP treasurer Joe Gib-
Eat Fried Rice!
International Week was
an educational experience
of sharing cultures and
traditions. But, Saga Food
Company threw in another
piece of educational ma¬
terial; that is, people all
over the world eat fried
rice.
Whatever is said of In¬
ternational Week, it involv¬
ed and attracted more stu¬
dents than any other single
event this year including
the $10,000 Winter Festival.
It is times like this that
bring out the best and worst
of people. On Sunday: Ha¬
waiian Night, the Hawai-
ians put on "Island Enter¬
tainment” after a menu of
Poi - made out of the root
of the Taro plant, a staple
in Hawaii; Lomi Lomi Sal¬
mon -- raw, salted salmon
mixed with tomato, onion
and green onion; Kulua
Pig - usually cooked under¬
ground; Teriyaki - steak;
Haupia -- coconut pudding;
and pineapple.
But, Monday: European
Night, nobody could keep
quiet long enough to give
our guest speaker, Mr.
Hein, a chance to speak.
Tuesday: American
Night, brought out the best
of cowboys, Afro-Americans
and folk singers; but the
advertising of cheerleader
outfits did not put adver¬
tisement's best foot for¬
ward.
Wednesday: Eastern
Night, the students took
second looks at the karate

bons who noted that this
year $27,296 had been
brought in and $28,270 bud-1
geted. However, now all
the budgeted money had
been spent, and many
groups still had funds re¬
maining. By closing out
these accounts and using
some cash remaining from
the previous year, Gibbons
estimated the action de¬
ficit to be in the nature of
$100-150. The major cause
for the deficit was a mis¬
understanding regarding
payment of Sandy Baron,
last year’s homecoming at¬
traction. The senate had
been informed that Baron
had not cashed a $500 check
and that the money was
available for ASUP. The
senate budgeted according¬
ly, but later in the year
Baron cashed the check
and ASUP found itself
$500 short.
After a communication
from Kevin Belton regard¬
ing items stolen during
International Week, a sit¬
uation he found deplorable,
the senate spent the next
two hours of last Monday-
night studying budgets for
next year.
Items passed by the Sen¬
ate included salaries for
student - body officers
($6.400), Patterson Loan
($1300 allocated with most
of it expected back), Ad¬
ministrative supplies ($546
for the executive, $235 for
the senate, with the J-Board
not in yet) and student-body
cards. Although $1400 was
allocated for the cards,
it is hoped that relatively
little of this would be spent,

The banquet was dedicated
to Lt. Col. Elmer Wasche,

summer.

Rev. Joseph L. Powers,

ident, announces that the
Commencement speaker
this year is George Mul-
grue, of Perth, Australia,

Officer between the United
Nations and the Food and
Agricultural Organization
(F.A.O.). The F.A.O. head¬
quarters are in Rome, Italy,
but the contact with the
U.N. is in New York.
Mulgrue should be of
interest to students, com¬
mented Fr. Powers, be¬
cause of growing concern
with problems of hunger
and poverty on a world¬
wide basis.
Monsignor John Tracy
Ellis, Professor of Church
History at the University
of San Francisco will be
the baccalaureate speaker.
He is president this year
of the American Catholic
Historical Association and
president of American So¬
ciety of Church History
(the first time a Catholic
has been elected president
of the Society).
Six honorary degrees
will also be conferred.
Recipients are:
Doctors of Lows
George E. Mulgrue, Perth,
Australia.
Dudley Dowell, New
York - president, New York
Life Insurance Company
and immediate past chair¬
man of the Independent
College Funds of America.
Gov't Grant
For Social Services
U of P has a start toward
the establishment of an
undergraduate curriculum
in the social services be¬
cause of a $13,500 grant
just received from the Re¬
habilitation Service Ad¬
ministration.
The grant was announced
by Rev. James E. Kelly,
esc, head of the division
of philosophy, history, psy¬
chology, and social sci¬
ences. He said that the
proposed social services
curriculum will train peo¬
ple for a group of new ca¬
reers in retardation cor¬
rection, rehabilitation, and
community action pro¬
grams.
Specific purpose of the
grant is for the salary of a
teacher who will arrange
placement of students
with agencies for trainee
programs and to cover stu¬
dents' traveling expenses
to and from agencies.
Courses involved with
the grant are listed in the
catalog as Social Welfare
work, junior year, and
Community Service in the
senior year.

Music, Drama
To Proceed
Summer programs in
Music and Drama will pro¬
ceed without interruption,
according to Phillipe R.
DeLaMare, Chairman of
the Division of Music, and
Paul E. Ouellette, Chair¬
man of the Division of Lan¬
guages and Communicative
Arts. Because the recent
fire destroyed both the
theatre and the music prac¬
tice rooms, there was some
question in the minds of
many as to whether there
would be cancellations.
At this writing, a final
decision had not been
reached as to where the
summer productions would
be held. Scheduled are
"THE KNIGHT OF THE
BURNING PESTLE” (an
Elizabethan comedy), “LIT¬
TLE MARY SUNSHINE”
(a delightful satire of Amer¬
ican musical comedies)
and perhaps a delayed per¬
formance of RASHOMON,
the play which was can¬
celled because of the fire.
Possible locations include
a permanent outdoor
theatre on campus (perhaps
in the bowl next to Mehling
or on the terrace in back
of the Commons) or the
downtown Portland Civic
Theatre.
All summer classes in
music and drama will pro¬
ceed as scheduled. Per¬
formances will be held the
first week of August, with
the Band Concert sched¬
uled the afternoon of
August 8.
