We of the Reporter staff feel that it is wise of the THE QUESTION Policy Committee to recognize those students who in later Do you feel that the rules years are going to carry the good name of the Institute into and regulations at the girls' the business world. dorm represent a mature attitude? Elsewhere in this issue of The Reporter the first List published by Dean Leo F. Smith is carried naming those students who are to be commended by achieving a grade- point average of 3.25 or higher. A total of 72 students of the approximately 1,200 full- time day students are the first ones to be honored. This represents about 6 per cent of the student body. It is the feeling of this staff that for the first list this percentage is quite good. A check of Dean Smith's office has disclosed that there is also about the same number of students throughout the institute who enjoy the unenviable distinction of being on probation. From a perusal of the list it discloses that there are some departments that have no students on the list from some classes. It is hoped that in future lists these depart- ments will be represented and that there will be fewer stu- Art and Design Freshman: dents on probation.
