part being more serious music,
including "Which is the Properest

century   catch   by  Thomas  Arne;

One of the newest organizations around our concrete campus is the Young Men's Christian
Association now functioning on a
regular basis.
Years of preparation by local
townspeople have materialized
the "Y" into branches reaching
out to all youth of Rochester. The
theme of the "Y" used here is the
elaboration of the famous triangle emphasizing life as a
whole, by dividing each apex
into spirit, mind, and body.

Mr. Karl Dubbert, chairman of
the Catalogue Committee, has announced the following changes in
regard to the honor point system
and graduation requirements for
next year, passed on by the faculty.
There will no longer be an
honor point system,- instead it will
be called a grade point average,
which will decide whether a student is to be graduated. Every
grade will be upped one point,
so that A will be 4; B, 3; C, 2;
D, 1; and F, 0 rather than negative as it is now. To complete the
grade point average, the total
number of grade points will be
divided by the total number of
credits for which the student has
enrolled, both passing and failing grades. The student will have
tc have a 2.0 grade point average to graduate. This is equivel-
ent to the present 1-0 since every
grade will be upped one point.
In order to graduate with an
Associate of Arts degree, the student has to have the proper number of credits in his chosen program and will have to have a
2.0 grade point average. If the
grade point average is less than
