Dr. John Hepler, head of the
English Department, has made
a proposal to the General Curriculum Committee to allow
qualified English students to
skip English 101.
Any student who scores on
or above the 75th precentile of
the ACT test and writes a
theme acceptable to two English staff members will be considered as qualified.
"Many freshmen students
do not need this basic course
and this proposal will allow
ihem to use the ihree hours
as they see fit," said Dr.
Hepler.
A similar program was inaugurated four years ago to
hasten students progress in
their academic work.
This program, however, required the advanced freshmen to take English 203 (Advanced Composition) if they
did not earn an A grade in
English 102. If they did earn
an A grade they were required
to take any additional three
hour English course.
Pres.   Judson   Foust   felt
ihat this did not contribute
to   the   quickening   of   academic work  since the student  was  required  to  take
an additional three hours of
English   regardless   of   how
well he did in English 102.
Dr.   Hepler's  new  proposal
will do away with this additional three hour requirement
for any advanced student who
earns an A, B, or C in English
102.
The proposal is now being
studied by the School Curriculum Committees. If the proposal is accepted it will go into
effect in the fall semester of
1964.
