Show U Senate extends credit option to May 19 BY KON MITCHELL Cluromcle Staff Credit-no credit option cards will not have to be turned in until May 19 this quarter, according to Dr. Boyer Jarvis, associate vice president of academic affairs, af-fairs, due to a change in policy passed by the University Senate Monday. The change will also allow freshman to exercise the CRNC option. Students will be able to have up to 45 hours with the option counted towards graduation and may change either to or from the option anytime up to the deadline dead-line which is 10 days before the last day of class. The process for grading by the instructor instruc-tor is changed by the amendment also. Instead of the registrar sending the instructors instruc-tors a list of students taking the class CRNC as was done in the past, instructors will grade all students on an ABCDF basis. The registar will change all A's, B's, C's and C-'s to CR. D's and F's will changed to NC, when the option is used. The senate also passed unaminously a motion requiring all "academic classes" to be under the direction of the department responsible for the subject of the time it is taught. The effect of this move will take night classes of an academic nature out of the control of the Division of Continuing Education. Before this move,- a night class could be cancelled because of a lack of night students even though a full class of day students was enrolled. This was a hardship on both day students and departments. depart-ments. Now, the departments will have the final say in night classes as they do in day classes. : The Tenure Advisory Committee submitted sub-mitted an amendment to the Faculty Regulation that outlined appealing procedures pro-cedures for non-tenured faculty. The amendment was automatically tabled because be-cause debate on the subject extended its 15-minute time limit. The Code of Conduct was discussed at the meeting and the senate voted to allow the present senate committee on the code of conduct to continue and present its recommended changes to Institutional Council next week. Changes included limiting the power of the Student Affairs Board to implement speaker policy, restrictions on information an instructor can give on students' grades, possible discrimination against students with financial aid in the punishment of code affenders and definition of a quorum of the Student Behavior Committee. Dr. Jerry Anderson, academic vice president presi-dent of the University and president of the senate, indicated that he would question the elimination of the five-day administrative admini-strative suspension from the code as an administrator separate from the senate. A suggested academic calendar for 1972-73 was tabled in order to study the possibility of an extended break between winter and spring quarters ana more time allowed between in-person registration and tire first day of class each quarter. The 1971-71 calendar is already set.
