Low registration for Convocation indicates lost credits to many students. Obtaining credits for attending each session was voted in during Spring Quarter, after all publications had been printed. The easy credit requires only 75 attendance at the Convocation assemblies, and thefollow-up panels, slated each Tuesday. There is tone week remaining to add this credit, obtainable by registering for it in the Administration building, and completing the quarterly attendance requirement. No books or other supplies are needed, only the registration and attendance. A total of three hours towards graduation is possible with this plan, one credit-hour per quarter. No grades are issued under the traditional pattern. Grades will be issued as "S" for satisfactory, or "U" as unsatisfactory (for students registered but failing to meet the 75 attendance requirement) . The following Tuesday meeting will be a full discussion period of each previous convocation.Convocation assemblies are geared to meet each Friday at 11 a.m. in the Fine Arts' Little Theatre. The year's agenda will include Louis E. Lomax (on Religion, Race and Revolution) , and lectures on oceanology, the "emerging university", and many others. Several outstanding musicians will also participate during the year. Attending Convocation is not only the easiest but one of the most rewarding modes of chalking up credits towards graduation. Student fees are pre-collected to pay for Convocations at each quarterly registration. So, in actuality, you have PREPAID for the series whether or not you intend.

Mrs. Hone received Liquor Issue Launches New "Con" Schedule Friday, October 4, is the day of the Great Debate on Liquor by the Drink at that week's Convocation offering, beginning at 11:00 a.m. in the Fine Arts Center Little Theatre. The issue will be chewed up by Oscar McConkie, against and Jerry Anderson, for the passage of the controversial initiative. Previously the action has been mulled over on TV, but never a hell-for-leather debate as on the WSC agenda. The liquor-by-the-drink issue, with several of the major churches against it, has received volatile support from its proponents.It may boil down to the dilemma, "Is the brown bag in?" One of the arguments against it is the nature of the legislation. Dissadents are adamant in their insistance that laws of this nature be left for passage by the state legislature. Proponents argue that church affiliations do not allow open debate by the legislators. " One of the alleged attractions of voting the initiative is in the tourist industry's "need". Those against it argue that tourism would not be increased by over-the-counter booze. Normally, laws are either enacted directly by legislators or proposed to the people by "referendum", another action prepared by legislators. In the case of the initiative, private citizens gather a sufficient number of petitioners to place a proposed act on the ballot. In this case, a war between church and booze proponents ensued earlier this year, but the rednoses won with a sufficient number of signatures on the petition. Now, the issue goes to the people in the November general election for a decision. At present, Utah is one of a minority of states which may use an initiative action to enact laws. The possibility of increased traffic hazards should the proposed law be approved by the electorate is one of the strongest arguments thus far expressed by the dissadents. Proof of increased consumption, however, has proved to be only a clairvoyant issue. A follow-up discussion of the debate will be held the following Tuesday at 11 a.m. as part of the Convocation series (see article on graduation credits). The Convocation series, a part of a full agenda of lectures and films scheduled for the year, is paid for from student registration fees. In addition to Convocation, a large program of evening events is also slated. A complete rundown of the Fine Arts programs is available in a brochure availbale at the Union Building main desk, and also in the lobby of the Fine Arts Center. The Liquor-by-the-Drink issue has received national attention, having recently been reported in Newsweek and other national publications. Because of the controversy developed in this issue, political forecasters are predicting Utah's largest turnout of eligible voters in the state'3 history.
