James L. Koveney, associate professor of biology, explained that he was abolished of grades but that his opinion had changed in the past.
He cited an informal study conducted on students in his classes who had elected credible one of the present system under which instructors do not know which students have elected the option) and that most of the main groups—those students who would have received low grades or those who would have received very high grades. It was found that students who chose the option either because the course merely filled a distribution requirement or because they would damage their g.a.'s.
Koeveng said he doubted that grades could be abolished without limiting all College courses. He also method of evaluation. He said some evaluation was necessary. Charles Frederick, Hugleton junior, served as chairman of the school board and head of School of Education. He proposed
a minimal grading system which would assign pass or honor to a student satisfactorily completing a task, but which a student would receive a failing or no-credit grade should not occur because such grades turned into punishment and the grading system one of reward and punishment.
He said that grades are such an intimate part of the student-faculty relationship at present. He said he would become well acquainted with an instructor or voice a criticism of his class and fear of jeopardizing his grade.
Echoing many of Frederick's ideas was Eric Hyler, Parsons senior. He said the present education model he designed to build a common culture Questioning the merits of phased individual and independent study in which the teacher his own educational goals.
Commission Needs Grads, Undergrads
Pointing out that some students desire a letter grade, Walter H. Crockett, professor of speech and drama, explained a system for determining if they would assign letters grades or just pass-fail.

Ebert said the commission would recommend changes in the executive structure and recommend programs and policies that should be main-
He said the commission would be study undergraduate education and would continue its work through the spring semester and would continue to work.
After the commission has researched existing programs at
KU, it will make recommendations about what to maintain and what to change. If the commission could work with someone outside of KU from outside of KU what other schools are doing.
An Ad Hoc Committee on Undergraduate Education appointed by Ebert on Oct. 1 will present a charge by Friday to the commission outlining in detail the commission should accomplish.
The deadline for submitting applications, according to the resolution, is Thursday. Ebert said he would introduce a new committee to review the resolution Wednesday extending the deadline until Oct 21.
He said the commission wouls have seven members. No more than four of the members can be undergraduates.
He said he thought a "fail" rather than an error was necessary, explaining that panself evaluation was not for every course but for a few.
The commission should be a group of qualified students who are familiar with all parallel that of the University Council Committee on Academic Policies
adequate for courses where the students was learning hard facts—and could learn certain courses for courses involving concepts.
