REPORT:
Bob Wunsch will report on the Monday meeting visit of Lieutenant George Green, Personnel Director of the Moore General Hospital.

FOR DISCUSSION
Fall Quarter course evaluation in hours in comparison to the Semester evaluation in hours of former years.
Tutorials. Shall they be restricted to students in the Senior Division?
Recommendations:
No student be allowed, except by special faculty consent, to take more than fifteen hours of class work per week.
Notes: Laboratory work or work for which there is no pre-class preparation should count one-half; that is, six hours of laboratory work should count for three hours in the fifteen hours reckoning. No student in his first quarter should apply for more than fifteen hours of academic work. Only students who have shown general excellence in both academic work and community work should have their applications for more than fifteen hours of class work considered.
2. That, for the time being, each student should have in his schedule at least three full half days free for the community work.
