Elimination of the special final examination period and addition of frequent tests throughout the term was approved by the student scholarship committee, Dr. John Cooke, chairman, announced yesterday.
This action was taken to compensate for the restricted number of weeks in the term and _■■■■—

will be continued for the duration of the war, Dr. Cooke explained.
The exact ruling, as stated in the committee report, is:
“The restricted number of weeks in the term makes it advisable
1.	to eliminate the special period for final examinations.
2.	to propose, in place of the special periods (a) frequent tests (every two or three weeks) throughout the ' term. These should form a significant part of the work of the term; (b) additional stress upon the 10-week’s exam to make it cover, substantially, all the work of the term to date; and (c) a one-hour comprehensive exam at the last meeting of the class.
3.	The final exam sholl not count for more than one quarter of the credit for the course.”
The committee’s ruling applies only to University Park classes, Dr. Cooke stated.

Marines honor Trojan coed
MARINES LAND SWEETHEART—Pat Waite, right, SC freshman, reads a letter from marine platoon 92 to Phyllis Spe-vak. The marines have officially adopted Miss Waite sweetheart of the platoon.	—Courtesy Herald-Expresi
Pat Waite, recently enrolled SC freshman, has been named sweetheart of marine platoon 92. The 53 marines of the platoon, stationed at San Diego, chose Miss Waite for this honor after seeing her photograph in the Los Angeles Evening Herald and Express.
Miss Waite, who is a graduate of Dorsey High school, received attention in the downtown paper as one of SC’s few third-generation students. Her grandmother was enrolled in the first class at Troy in 1880.
The letter from the service men read, “We hope you will not think us forward, but we are just a bunch of lonesome marines and wanted to elect you as honorary ‘sweetheart’ of the 92nd platoon here in San Diego. We’d like a photograph of yourself and will forward one of the entire group soon in exchange.” All 53 members of the platoon signed the note.
Miss Waite autographed the picture which she sent, “best wishes and many happy returns from service with a Jap by each.”
At the time that Mrs. Jessie Berry, Miss Waite’s grandmother, enrolled at SC there were only 11 Trojans, and the students rode horseback to school. Miss Waite, who is majoring in education, is one of 14 third-generation students now enrolled in the university.
“Nothing like this has ever happened to me,” said Miss Waite, “and I certainly am thrilled.”
The 53 marines have already sent their autographed photograph.
Boeing workers strike for increase in pay
The production of flying fortress bombers was halted yesterday in Seattle while thousands of Boeing Aircraft company workers attended a mass meeting and voted to start “24 hour meettings of all employes” Monday if wage demands are not granted by the war labor board.
A company statement said 97 per cent of day shift workers left their jobs in violation of the contract between Boeing and the International Association of Machinists (AFL), and denounced union leaders for “taking direct action against our armed forces.”
The meeting was called as a “physical demonstration” against what union leaders termed were delays by the war labor board in arriving at a wage stabilization agreement for west coast aircraft workers.
