The relative difficulty and ease of
the grading schedules of UNC-G's
schools and departments was the topic
of a novel study recently conducted
by the Economics Department.
The study was intended to be used
for departmental research.
The grade and enrollment figures
were obtained from the registrar's
office, and the information was then
fed into the computer.
Pass-Not-Pass options and
withdrawals were ignored in
computing the grade-point average for
departments.
A sequential order was then given to
the rankings.
Even though the research was not
intended to be publicized, it is a
matter of public record. The
grade-point averages were based on last
spring semester's work.
The highest grade-point average on
campus is a 3.9 average for all courses
offered in the School of Education. At
the 300 and 400 level, 86.7% of the
students receive either an A or B
grade.
'Gary' receives
first class rating
The Carolinian has received a First
Class rating and two marks of
distinction from the Associated
Collegiate Press (ACP). The ratings
were awarded lor the Spring semester
of the 1973-74 year.
The ACP awarded The Carolinian
marks of distinction for its 'coverage
and content' and also for 'editorial
leadership*. In describing their reasons
for the awards the ACP said the
Carolinian editorials were "vital and
relevant".
The most recent rating marks the
third consecutive semester The
Carolinian has received a First Class
rating from the ACP.
The School of Education issued
1336 total grades for the spring
semester at this level.
The lowest grade-point average is a
2.52 for all courses offered in the
Anthropology department. At the 300
and 400 levels. 48.0% of the students
received either an A or B grade.
Education,
study shows
A total of 50 grades were issued at
this level.
According to the computer
printouts, a total of 33,429 grades
were issued for last spring semester.

Education, followed by English and

Senate debates Student Bill of Rights,
funds UC/LS, Falderal Fireworks
BY NANCY DAVIS
Staff Writer
In Tuesday night's Senate meeting
the Student Bill of Rights was
introduced for the first time on the
Senate floor.
This document is an attempt to
clearly state the rights and
responsibilities each student has as a
member of the University community.
It covers such areas as students
rights in the areas of admission
policies, academic affairs,
administration policies, personal
freedoms, right to privacy, and
financial aid.
The Bill, sponsored by Cliff
Mitchell, is the result of more than
two year* of work by an Ad Hoc
committee, and will be presented for
final vote next week.
In other action, the Senate
supported resolutions to appropriate
$5,000 for the University
Concert/Lecture Series, $460 to send
representatives from SGA and the
Judicial Branch to a conference in
Georgia, and SI 150 to pay for a
fireworks display on Founder's Day.
The Senate also voted to allow the
Neo-Black Society to transfer funds to
pay for their banquet held two weeks
ago, and passed a resolution of thanks
to Mr. Ken Dixon, Deputy
Commissioner of Insurance. Mr. Dixon
informed the school it was legal to
store bicycles in dorms in answer to a
request from Winlleld Senator "Kap"
Sink.
Barbara Baron was approved as
consul from Strong Hall, and Ben Sells
introduced a bill to strike the section
of the Social Regulations which
prohibits girls from locking the door
to their room when they have a male
visitor.
Next week Senate will be meeting in
two sessions.
An International House Cafe will begin the Falderal festivities today from
3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Pictured are Spanish Floor residents (from left) Barbara

SGA President Jim McAbee and
"Kap" Sink, Senator from Winfield
Hall, announced Tuesday that bicycles
could be kept inside dorms.
According to Ms. Sink, a student
may now bring his bicycle into his
room or park it in a dorm storage area.
She added that bicycles may at no
time be parked in stairways or
corridors.
McAbee and Ms. Sink have been
working on the problem since school
opened, contacting various university
and state officials to determine exactly
why students were not allowed to
store bikes inside dorms, since bicycle
thefts are a major campus problem.
Bicycle rip-offs on campus have
steadily risen over the past two years.
The 1973-74 school year showed
approximately a 100 per cent increase
in bicycle thefts.
Ms. Sink contacted Mr. Ed Smith of
the Greensboro Fire Prevention
Bureau and learned that there was no
city ordinance regarding bicycles in
dorm rooms and storage areas.
Smith gave Ms. Sink the name of
Mr. Kenneth Dixon, Deputy
Commissioner of Insurance in Raleigh.
Ms. Sink contacted Dixon and the
following is a copy of the letter she
received concerning present policy:
"This department, insofar as fire
regulations are concerned in
dormitories on the Consolidated
University Campus, has established
policy as follows: Bicycles may be
kept inside individual students rooms
or in storage areas but at no time will
they ever be permitted to be stored in
corridors or stairways."
McAbee and Ms. Sink brought the
letter to Mrs. Boling's attention
Tuesday afternoon. After reading the
letter, Mrs. Boling said, "Very good."
Jim McAbee then said, "I'm sure
that when Mr. Jim Blevins gets back,
he'll agree that this will solve the bike
problem."
Ms. Boling added that the Housing
Policy would now be changed and that
this change would be implemented
immediately.
She stressed, though, that the
Physical Plant would not take kindly
to bicycles being locked to pipes. This,
she said, would hamper the
maintenance men in their repair work.
Vice Chancellor Allen and Dean
Shirley Flynn were both pleased that
this problem had finally been solved.
The new regulation does not include
bringing motorized vehicles into the
dorm.
gather UNC-G's largest appetites and
fun-loving spirits at one table for some
terrific entertainment.
Deadline for sign-up of applicants is
October 4, at which time dorm and
club presidents should have
contestants' names turned in to Elliott
Hall's main desk. Any interested
student should contact his dorm or

Faculty members will be receiving
information via departmental
secretaries. Circle- K members will
answer any questions concerning
contest applications or procedures.
Anchovies may he brown-bagged.
A dorm decoration contest will
highlight the Falderal celebrations on
Thursday. A panel of four town
students and three faculty members
will judge the dorm with the best
decoration having to do with Falderal.
Town students will be judging so that
there will be no charges of bias.
according to contest coordinator Betty
Godfrey.
The winning dorm will be
announced on Saturday afternoon.
Any decoration will be acceptable as
long as it represents the theme of
Falderal, a bit of nonsense, indicated
Ms. Godfrey.

the quad on Saturday afternoon. EH is
sponsoring the group.
