appointed board of control for
final approval.
Rejection of the proposal
Monday night by Student Senate could lead to reconsideration of the Commencement
Committee and Faculty Senate of their recommendations.
One problem which would
accompany the proposed system is that the band and choir
will probably not remain on
campus for the commencement
exercises as their final exams
would be completed.
Also, dormitories will be
nearly vacated and the impression given to parents and
friends of the graduates would
be less favorable.
Seniors would be able to
participate in commencement
without exams, subsequently
determining w h e t h e r they
actually graduate. As recommended by John Bedore, student body president, Senior
Swing Out and dinner dance
would be held the Saturday,
during exams, the seniors
marching down the mall -that
same day. Commencement
would then be held the following Saturday after exams are
finished.
Maynard Fergeson
son is considered by many to
be the world's best trumpeter.
The J-Hop will be the only
dance this year at Central to
feaure a name band. The 5th
Army Band will be playing
again for the Military Ball and
a small name-band will be
sponsored for Greek Week so
the Chad Mitchell Trio can be
financed.
Prior to the dance, Fergeson
will hold a jazz concert at
Warriner Auditorium from 7-9
p.m.
All profit will go toward the
Senior Tea and the awarding
of junior class scholarships.
Tickets for the concert are
$1.00 apiece and tickets for the
dance axe $2.50 per couple,
" which will also cover the concert. Tickets have been on

Frederick
Cancels to
Cover Crisis
Due to the urgency of the
Cyprus crisis, Pauline Frederick was called into a United
Nations security session, causing cancellation of her appearance here last night.
D. Louise Sharp, dean of
women, said Miss Frederick
would not be rescheduled to
appear here, but that someone else could be scheduled
later. She did not sav who at
this time.
Previously Miss Frederick
has covered the Korean. Suez.
Hungarian, Middle East, Loa-
tion and Congo crises, and the
troubled months following the
death of Sec. Gen. Dae Ham-
merskjold for the NBC network.
Today, for her network, she
is confronted with a new hot-
spot, that the Civil war torn
island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea where Greek
and Turk conflict has. been
brewing for nearly three
years.

■ As Miss Frederick has covered the UN for the past. 10
years, she is back on the job
to continue being as she was
once, called, "the Voice of the
United Nations."
Subcommittee Created
At Presidents' Breakfast
A sub-committee to study
academic problems was the
result of Saturday's President's Breakfast attended by
24 organization presidents.
Members include Chuck
Collard, Tau Kappa Episilon
president; Phil McKay, sophomore class president; Sue
Chandler, vice-president of
Sloan Pan-Hel House; Ann
Lansford, Delta Z eta president; Judy Heinig, Women's
Recreation Association president; and Richard Howard,
Student Education Association
president.
The problem of senior exams
was   discussed   and  the   consensus  of  opinion  was  that
•they, should be given prior to
the graduation exercises.
Next, the campus organization presidents discussed the
lack of interest of the student
body in joining and attending
any of. the 95 organizations
available to them; •
The opinion was expressed
by Miss Heinig, Sue Senf,AWS
president; and James Bedore,
..student body president, that
freshmen .should not be discouraged by the 'personnel
classes from joining at least
one organization.
They .'felt that freshmen
could join one or two organizations   and   could  do   well
„ academically if they would
learn to schedule their time.
The final issue discussed was
cheating. Some of the suggestions were that instructors improve their monitoring tactics
during an exam, that more
essay type tests be given, and
that instructors should revise
their tests from year to year.
Joe Sweeney, student body
vice-president, reported that
the special committee that was
set up to consider cheating is
forming a .joint committee of
students., and, faculty to  dis-
*" cuss* the "problem.-     .; »,      ..

City sophomore, has resigned

mer working for the NATO
Division in Washington, D.C.
and has mastered short-hand
and speedwriting.
James Bedore, student body
president, announced that the
Faculty Senate has approved
the plan to hold graduation
exercise after final exams.
Bedore also announced the
election dates decided upon by
members of the executive
board. On March 3, an election will be held for AWS
