Dean Clarifies GPA Rulings

Explaining the 1.5 grade point average necessary for student-body-officer nominees, Dean of Men Neil D. Warren yesterday made the statement that this minimum average had been set by the students themselves.
Several years ago the ASSC' constitution provided for a minimum grade point average of 1.0, this action being approved by the student scholarship committee of the faculty. The students, however, agitated In favor of raising the required average to a 1.5 minimum cumulative grade-point average and 1.5 for the preceding semester.
Action to raise the requirements was taken by the student scholarship committee and the 1.5 minimum was adopted as an official university regulation. These requirements cannot be lowered without action by the scholarship committee and approved by the chancellor, according to Dean Warren.

“Lt. Gen. Ira C. Eaker * alumni day speech was an excellent brief statement, both as a military man and a citizen, of the over-all problem of defense in the atomic era. said Dr. Wilbert Hindman, associate prjjfessor of political science.
“General Eaker, recognizing that the United States cannot continue to stand its present large militar expense. pointed the way toward the reduction of such costs without weakening our security.” continued Dr. Hindman.
CONCENTRATION
Active in army aviation since 1918, General Eaker was in charge of the eighth bomber command in England and was later appointed head of all air force bombers in Europe. This fact was cited by Dr, Hindman when he explained. “As one would expect from a man with his experience in air power. General Eaker asked for concentration on mobile weapons of attack and defense which can best exploit the striking power of atomic fission.
“As a political scientist I was especially interested in the general’s concept of our military forces, not as agencies of political power or aggression, but aa police instrumentalities which will be necessary so long as there are criminal* or potential lawbreakers in the world community,” concluded Dr. ZXtad-man.
WORK TOGETHER
General Eaker who te now d<pmj commanding general of the armr air forces, told his fellow alumni Saturday at tha luncheon fct Ihe foyer of Town and Gown, “no Invader can take this nation, but the danger is that we mar gtee M away.” in his 30-mlnuto speech, Ihe general urged everyone lo wort together to “preserve and protect cur fortunate and favored land.'*
Elaborating on the advisability of a “highly mobile force” the genera, stressed the fact that an efficient and well-organized air force car. lessen the cost in maintaining a large armed force, by being able to destroy the enemy’s strong points before he has time to attack. General Eaker maintained that if th^ U. S. had wisely spent a billion dollars annually for the right kind of armaments between the first and second world wars it would have saved us the $260,000,000,000 we spent in winning the latest conflict.
STRONG ARMED FORCE
The three-starred airman emphasized that not only should we put our labors and faith in the UN but we must, in addition, maintain a strong and efficient armed forcf* to insure the peace. He pointed out that one of the chief eauses ot failure in the League of Nations wa. the lack of power to enforce }•> demands.
