Policy Chang
for Incompletes
A change In the general administrative policy of Central Michigan
collet was announced today by Dr.
David M. Trotit, head of the student Personnel Division. The
change' is in regard to incompletes.
In the past, when a student for
some justifiable reason was unable
to complete all the work of a course,
the teacher could, if he wished,
mark the class card '"I" (iricom-
plete). Courses marked "I" would
automatically become "E's" if they
were not completed in the following semester. Now, however, incomplete courses are to be regarded as
incompletes   forever.
This will be a booh to students
who were called into service and
were unable to complete the
courses. These courses which automatically (became "E's" a semester
after their departure will now revert to their former status of "I's."
"Courses marked "I" are not
counted in determining the student's point average but must be
completed by the end of the next
semester in residence. Exceptions-* to
this regulation can be made only
when requested by the teacher conr
cerned, approved Iby the Director
of Instruction and certified by him
to the Dean of Students."
This alteration of policy is in
conformity with the general trend
of many other educational institutions.

Violinist to Play
on Artist Series
Erica Morini, famous .violinist,
who plays here January 29 and 30,
is the heroine of many tonal achievements in this country and
abroad. Many times have New York
concert audiences and critics acclaimed her playing. Major symphony orchestras and music festir
vals from coast to coast have featured her as soloist. Besides her
many tours in this country and
Europe, she has appeared in Austra
lia and the Orient. Erica Morini,
now a citizen of the United States,
makes her home in New York.
The violinist began her career at
the age of eight, playing as soloist
under the baton of Arthur Nikisch
in Leipzig. The little girl had been
studying violin since she Was four,
and before her eightft birthday had
completed the master course
at the Vienna Conservatory under
the renowned Anton Sevcik. Her
debut was the first of a long series
of concerts in European capitals.
As she grew up, she played each
year in England and on the Continent. When she was in her late
teens, she came to the United
States, where she was introduced !as
soloist with symphony orchestra
conducted by Artur Bodanzky. As a
result of this appearance, that same
season she gave four recitals iri
New York by public demand, presenting four different programs in
six weeks. She stayed here for two
more seasons, playing from coast to,
coast. Europe called her back again',,
and for seven years she played
there, in Australia and in the orient.
At the end of that time, when she.
returned here to live she found the
vast public who had welcomed her
earlier visits again waiting for her
concert and radio-appearances.
Erica Morini
Erica Morini will use one of the
most perfect violins in the world—
the "Davidoff" Stradivarius. It is
dated 1727 and valued at $45,000.
Plan Unites
Health Units
Consolidation of the college and
county health units, as announced
recently by President Anspach, is
intended to provide the college
with a broader .field in which to
develop experimental health programs. This plan will serve as a
practice teaching and demonstration center, and will tend to improve the general health of the
entire county,
"it is planned that the personnel,
of the- Central Michigan college
health unit and that of the county
be combined, and', that in addition,'
a pediatrician, a health coordinator,
a dentist,,three nurses, and two
, clerks; be added" to the combined
staff:on'a full time basis.
'.   Dr.   Anspach. .believes   the   new •
demonstration  center will be  the
first project' of. this kind in which.
,a college   and a   community have :
united.for mutual benefit.
1   The" Center will afford an excell- .
e;n,t; opportunity for practice teaching to''Central's, students of health
educatiohV "Arrangements will also
be made -^ith other colleges and
universities' to allow their students;
to* put in the.three months of required externship at the new demonstration center.
Prompt action in organizing' the
inew unit and securing the additional personnel is deemed to be essential to insure the success and
continued favorable opinion of the
project.
While July 1 was named as the-
probable date of organization, under the new plan, it was believed,
that work would be started at once
by both college and county officials
to secure personnel and have the
unit functioning as early as possible.
