Pass-fail policy now a reality Pass.Fall grading system isareaHty at NAU, according to Dean Gorden Fost-er,- vice-provost or academic a!fairs. "It has come to my attention that many students and faculty members alike are not informed about the PassFail system," Dr. Foster said. "The amount o! students enrolled in Pass.'' ail courses is minimal in comparison with the amount of students enrolled at NAU." There were ten students registered in- this option, fall semester and ap. proximately seven registered this semester. There are 7,200 students currently enrolled at NA U. "Students wishing to take Pass-Fail courses should talk to their advisors during the pre-registration advisement. At registration they must also obtain a white card from the information booth (similar to the overload and independent study cards) and turn it in before they pay their fees," Dr. Foster said. "If this grading policy is successful then we will probably allow sophomore level students to enroll in this system," Dr. Foster commented. A maximum of 12 hours will be allowed .,.,'ithin the Pass-Fail program to be counted toward any individual's degree. Also, no student may take any course within his major field on a Pass-Fail option. Students may change from PassFail enrollment to enrollment !or a regular grade, or vice-versa, only dut• ing the two-week drop-add period at the beginning of a semester. "1 will probably extend the time period through this week to accommodate students v.>ishlng to change,'' said Dr. Foster.

Action taken on referendum •· Action has been taken on the issues that were voted on and passed by the student body in 'a4-18 and Rigbts' rderendum," said Jim McCarthy, ASNAU president. The topics were 24 hour visitation in the men's dormitories, the right of an 18-year-old girl to live off campus and the rigbt of student representation on the revision committee of the Code of Conduct. according to McCarthy. "Men's · Inter-hall Council presently bas an extension of the visitation program before the deans," said Tony Agnello, MIHC president. "The 24-hour visitation proposal was not accepted by Student Affairs." The new proposition for men's halls is Monday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. and Friday, Saturday and St.m.day from 12 p.m. to 2 a.m., Agnello said. '"I'he hours we propose are designed to coincide with the women's dormitory hours," said Agnello. "On Dec. 18, three days after our referendum, the Board of Regents passed the 18-year-old woman's right to live of! campus," McCarthy said. "The women may li.ve off campus with parental approval and university sanction. The details are still being worked out, but the point is now the 18- year-old women has the opportunity to live off campus," -said McCarthy. "The- Regent's ruling on the right of the 18- year-old woman was not a result of the referendum here at NAU/' said Robert Dickeson, vice provost of student af!air s. "Concerning the right of student representation on the revision committee of the Code o! Conduct," McCarthy said, ''the three studen~ body {)residents sent a letter to the regents, with the referendum not Included, requesting a seat on the revision committee. The request was denied, but the letter did have some impact." The student-concern in the referendum shown through the heavy voting on the revision committee did help lead up to the forming of the Governor's Advisory Board.

McCarthy said that the fact that Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic society, was able to bring the Regents to our campus to talk with students shows that they are willing to discuss matters with students. " Even though many peo~le felt that the 'Rap with the Regents' was worthless, one must be aware that the Regents do have their point of view and have their defenses up as well as the students over the Code controversy," said McC uthy.
