Columns are the opinion of the author. Students who are entering the semester under the 1998-1999 catalog will be the only students affected by the changes for now and the plan will affect more and more students as the years go on. Eventually every student will be required to register for the exam before gaining 75 credit hours. This decision obviously was made to help keep students on track. They should not whine that their academic careers are in ruins because they procrastinated. The test is a simple requirement that if left until the last minute, could cause a “graduating” senior a lot of unnecessary stress at the end of their career at Eastern. The test takes about an hour and a half to take and only involves a sober Friday night before the test. Go sign up in Blair Hall and graduate on time. By getting the test out of the way now, students can relax and not worry about graduation requirements.
