The grade of X will be used when the stu- dent fails a course taken for the first time. When the stu- dent takes the course the next time, the grades of A, B, C, D, or F must be entered. The following grading system will be used in all 0 level (non- credit) courses: Grades to be assigned are P, NP, and X.

A Human Relations Workshop is scheduled for Intersession - the week-end of January 22-24, 1971 (Friday evening-Sunday).

The Workshop is open to all students- those without prior group involvement as well as those who have had group experience on and off campus.

The subsidized cost per student is $25.00.

Participation in the program is limited. Applications — which are available at the Student Development Center - 50-51 Cloverdale Blvd. (2nd house down from the Bayside Oaks Jewish Center) — must be returned by December 16th, 1970.
