Pass/fi fr e ect Ves rZ

_ Shloul extended P 8e m By Tom Curtis #a
In 1967, the faculty voted to allow seniors in good standing to take E one unrestricted elective pass/fail. Since thlen, the pass/fail opntion has I been enlarged to include juniors and allow up to two unrestricted elec- c tives~to be graded pass/fail. Preliminary results from a recent survey by w the Student Committee on Educational Policy (SCEP) seems to in- dicate that an overwhelming majority of the undergraduates (nearly eighty percent) believe this option should be extended to allow all stu- dents to take any number of unrestricted electives pass/fail. Extended pass/fail relieves pressure Such an extended option makes very good sense. Unrestriced electives by their nature have no special significance in a student's edu- cational program. Their purpose is to. allow students to explore sub- jects he would otherwise miss if he wsere confined to the requirements and restricted electives of his major. Unlimited pass/fail grading would enhance a student's willingness to take courses outside his major. Instead of using unrestricted electives to take courses in their major where they are comfortable and almost sure of making a good grade, students could use their pass/fail option and take courses in unfamiliar -but intriguing -subjects. 'rhe present system dissuades students from taking courses which award few A's and encourages students to take shallow "gut" courses where everyone gets an A. Thus, the current system actually penalilzes students who take rigidly graded in-depth courses. With the extended pass./fail option, grading policy would be less of a factor in choosing unarestricted electives. If unrestricted electives were not included in the cumulative grade point average, grading policy would be no fractor. Finally, the extended pass/fail option would reduce pressure where I aew there is no real nteed for pressure. Grades certainly exert pressure on IL students to perform. Although this pressure may be necessary in the courses crucial to a student's major program, it certainly is not neces- salry for unrestricted electives.

Sulama is ordered the three millionth hamburger and an overthrow some solid laughs. Considering the material Taviss was given to work with, he should be commended for producing an adequate script. Marc Chelemer was not at all convincing as Mike Lanigan, owing in part to weak characterization by the writer. The song, "Lanigan's Blues", pnroved that Chelemer's singing talent is negligible. However, he did attempt to make something of his part, anid almost succeeded. Arnold, Dahl, and Coel all turned in adequate performances in their minor roles, although the Simon Ledger character falls apart when he shows a contradictory streak of compassion at the play's close. Linda Schaffir as Minnie Forrest proves to be a talented actress. Her portrayal of the shrewish, conniving housewife was flawless, as was her singing during "'Money is Divine."' Her performnance was most con- vincina, assisted by a strongly developed character. The outstanding performance was turned in by Jerome Taylor as Squeak Post.
