However, the committee's directive also forbids teachers to permit graduating students to skip finals, regardless of their class standing.
Two members of Ihe committee, IR professor Paul E. Hadley and Registrar Howard W. Patmore, said the action was taken because "of the lack of uniformity in the recent years' final examinations procedure."

Senior Leaders Voice Protests On New Rule
Two SC student leaders, ASSC President Jerry McMahon and Senior Class President Steve Robertson, yesterday spoke out against the ruling of the Committee of Student Scholarship Standards which prohibits graduating seniors from taking their final examinations one week early.
McMahon snid “We expected that the examination procedure was to he the same as last year. That is, graduating seniors would be allowed to take their exams early.
"I am disappointed as no notice lo the contrary was given us before today. The whole shame of it is that nobody had the word — people could have made definite plans between the last day of school and commencement if they had heard of

“This action wan taken by the Committee because it was felt that the preservation of standards requires a final examination or importance. The procedures followed in 1954 and 1955, whereby some examinations for graduating students were given early or were omitted, led to considerable confusion and even to the omission of the required examinations in many cases of non-graduating students.

"We want our students to leave the university with a good taste in their mouths, and also with their diplomas in their hands. As it stands now, students graduating with bachelor degrees will have their diplomas mailed to them weeks after their graduation," he stated.

My the Watcbblrd Theta Nu Epsilon has become an emotion-charged phrase at SC—one that conjures up pictures of black-robed figures meeting secretly at midnight and gives a feeling of a shadowy organization, always just out of reach, pulling strings in student government.
Complaints about the group are many, and come from many sources—self-seeking politicians, | now, or dur honest student leaders, and e\«n the administration.
Primary objection from those I in student government centers around the often dishonest and unethical practice* of the past— aou*> instances of which writ mentioned in Monday's history of TNE.
To these complaints, current members have no reply, except to say that cheating in elections j
was widespread In the past and they weren't alone in the practice. Whether this is a justification is dubious.
Kt-iimintt-il ( lieating But current members defy anyone lo prove similar charges against the group now. Looking at the downfall of Tong tiiat inevitably followed disclosuivs of dishonesty, the group now says it has renounced cheating lor reasons of expediency, as well as ethics.
On» high student body official, TRG-electcd, has admitted that h- doesn't think Tong the last election, has reverted to its black past.

A lanky junior flashed his smile which the Phrateres consider the friendliest on campus and tossed his hat into the political ring yesterday.
Chet Davls announced that he Is running for AMS presidency against Senator--at-large Bob Meads.
Davis, a mechanical-industrial engineering major, said he is running for the office because hs feels that he is the most qualified and sincere candidate. “Meads Shaky”
“I'm campaigning for one office,” he declared. “Bob Mead* is so shaky that he is running for two offices because he'* afraid he won’t get one.”
Meads countered by saying that he was running for vice-president of the School of Engineering In addition to the AMS post "just to help the school out.”
Meads said that he was decided to drop the Engineering office and just run for the AMS job now, so Davis “has no basis for his accusations.”
Davis, who is presently serving as APhiO president, is running for the office without endorsement because “I feel that I can best serve the student body by running independently.” Service Keeord Chairman of tlie High School Relations Committee, a member of the Senate Speakers Bureau, co-chairman of the Senate Christmas Party, and winner of star | the Phratt re's "Hello and Smile Contest."
