May Grads
Take Exam
All May graduates are scheduled
to take the Graduate Record Ex¬
amination at Howard on Feb. 24,
1965.
The Academic Council at How¬
ard. composed of all Department
and Division Heads, voted to re¬
quire the Graduate Record Exam
of all graduating seniors on an in¬
stitutional basis.
The taking of the test is a re¬
quirement for graduation, but grad¬
uation will not necessarily depend
upon the achievement of a certain
score.
The scores cn all students are
required for statistical puposes to
get a profile of Howard's gradu¬
ates compared to national norms.
Students may use the scores for
application to graduate schools and
for graduate financial assistance.
The date set for August gradu¬
ates is June 9, 1965. .
low said the yearbook would be
published in the spring for the first
time this year.
She added that her staff is well
ahead of schedule in production of
the book.
V Noting that photography expense
has increased cost of the yearbook,
she said she believed the SGA ap¬
propriation for the ENTRE NOUS
would have to be increased in next
year’s SGA budget.
Student literary magazine co-edi¬
tor Martha Myers reported that
the magazine, PENSEZ, would be
published this week.
She also said the issue, the first
of two published each term cost
slightly more than half of the
$1,000 SGA appropriation for the
year.
CRIMSON editor Edwin Graves
explained that the relatively large
number of four-page issues of the
student newspaper was Jue to a
deficit in last year’s SGA appro¬
priation and increased publication
expense.
Graves said the reduction in
size frpm the paper’s normal eight
pages reduce expenses by approxi-
matedly $130.
Joe Wir.gard, editor of the BULL-
PUP, said late publication of the
student directory was due to a
change in printer and publication
plans. *
Wingard reported that financial
details of the publication are being
completed.
