ShcMld students be made to graduate? In the Board of Control meeting certain officers in charge of the school feel that having two graduation ceremonies, one after two years and one at the end of four years, is not necessary for the majority of students. Walking Papers They feel that when they have received their diplomas after two yeans, they are receiving Itheir "walking papers;" also the graduates must pay for two cap and gown and graduation fees. Since, to receive your degree you must participate in graduation. They feel that a more sensible arrangement would be to let those people graduate who are in terminal courses, and those who are going on could graduate at the end of four years. The molcion was voted on and will be taken up before the faculty administrative council. Smoking The issue of smoking was also brought before the Board. The faculty feels smoking and that only a small group of students are pressuring the student body officers who are listening to them. But it must also be mentioned that the Beard of Trustees and the Chamber of Commerce have both expressed the wish that the Union Building be opened up to smoking. Maybe they would reconsider if they realized that there is a state law prohibiting smoking in a public building. Model TJ. N. The Board voted to appropriate $245 for six delegates and one faculty advisor to attend a Model United Nations meeting in San Diego, California.
