Senate Studies Plan For Senior Exam Excuses
The request by the All-Student council that graduating seniors with "C" averages be excused from final examinations was referred to its advisory committee by the University Senate, Tuesday.
The advisory committee was instructed to study the request and make recommendations at the next meeting.
No motion was put before the Senate, but there appeared to be little sentiment for a "day of grace" before final examinations. Students had requested such a day at the recent student-faculty town hall forum.
The Armed Forces Credit committee was authorized not to consider applications for credit for service training completed after March 1, 1950. This does not preclude granting of credit for service connected training subsequent to the cut off date, but only makes it possible that the committee may some day be closed out. Applications for credit excluded by the ruling can be made through the normal channels, such as the advanced standing committee.
J. Neale Carman, professor of romance languages and chairman of the committee, reported that since July 1 the committee has received 475 applications for military credit.
The Senate adopted a resolution clarifying procedures to bring matters before the Senate for discussion. It voted down a resolution giving the Senate advisory power on policies regarding selection of new faculty and promotions. This was considered an infringement on the self-government of the schools within the university.

Episcopal Church Hires New Rector
A new associate rector of Trinity Episcopal church will assume duties on Sunday, March 19. The Rev. Louis Basso will assist the Rev. R. C. Swift, rector.
Father Basso was formerly rector of Grace Episcopal church in Traverse City, Mich. He is a past state Chaplain of the AMVETS, veterans organization. Before entering the ministry, Father Basso taught chemistry and biology in the Michigan Public schools. He received his B. S. degree from Battle Creek college in Battle Creek, Mich. and his seminary training at Seabury-Western Theological seminary in Evanston, Ill.
Father Basso will work with Haskell and University students. The Canterbury club is the Episcopal student group. He will assist the rector, too, in work within the parish. The sermon at 11 a.m. Sunday will be presented by Father Basso. He will celebrate the Holy Communion at 8 a.m. Sunday.
Union Plans Double Size
The Union building will be more than doubled in size according to preliminary plans accepted by the Building committee, Tuesday. Ogden Jones, chairman of the Union operating board, announced today.
Two extensions will be built. one on the north above the present Palm room and another on the south.
The final drawings for the extensions will be completed within the next two months, Mr. Jone predicted. If all goes well, he said the construction will begin earl in the summer.
A large ballroom nearly twice the size of the present ballroom is provided for in the plans. Student offices, bowling alleys, ping-pong card, music and browsing rooms will be included in the new wings. A large lounge will be built on the main floor.
Polls for the W.Y.C.W. election will be open until 5 p.m. today in Fraser hall or the rotunda of Strong hall.
