KU finally gets pass-fail system
Any course in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences may be taken under a new grading system next Fall.
The system is called Pass/No Credit and is open to all students in the college for one class per semester. It involves the dropping of letter grades, to be substituted by a mark of "passed" or the notation of "no credit" for the student's records. The mark of "passed" would correspond to all letter grades above an "F," and a "no credit" would be issued in the case of a failure.
Students cannot take classes in their majors after the sophomore year through this system.
THE FACULTY of the college has long endorsed this system, but have lacked the support of the Academic Senate to put the program into effect. One of the reasons for faculty support is the hope that the plan will encourage students to take important courses for their education without the pressures of grades.

Bob Hendeed, promising distance runner from Wyandotte High School of Kansas City, has signed a national letter of intent to attend KU.
Many states are currently using this plan to various degrees. Some have even gone to total pass/no credit systems, notably the University of California's Santa Cruz campus. Others, such as the state of Wyoming, have rejected this program for state schools.
Hendee finished fourth in the two-mile at this year's state high school championships. He won the Sunflower Conference two-mile title in 9:23.8 and finished second at the league meet in the mile in 4:19.5.
The KU plan is not modeled on any one state's program, but is a mixture of the highlights of all of the programs.
Mike Mitchell, Lawrence senior in business, filed Thursday as a candidate for State Representative in Kansas' 40th district in the Secretary of State's office at Topeka.
Senior files for House
Running on the democratic ticket, Mitchell, 23, feels that the Republicans have had too long a hold on Douglas County and he, as a Democrat has something to offer the Republicans also.
Mitchell has had no previous political experience but feels this is no hindrance. Having no political ties or obligations, he believes he can better serve the public.
We've got to crow a little about our Haggar recommendation.
Fine clothing and our quality Sanitone drycleaning go together. That's why we're so proud to be recommended by Haggar. Of course, we've pleased other Haggars before —John Haggar, Fred Haggar and Mary. But it's not quite the same. They were easier to please than Haggar slacks.
