At the banquet “Riz” was pre-

by Dr, John M., Sayles, director of

jof Colgate on one side and an in-
scription suggested by Dr. Sayles on
the other.
Several members of our college
faculty were in attendance at this
affair in Professor Risley's honor,
Prominent in attendance were: Dr.

jof the college; Dr, Donnal V, Smith,
{professor of social studies; Dr, Clar.

Prior to the banquet, "Riz" was
interviewed by Coach Andy Kerr of
Colgate on a program carried
through station WGY over a
large NBC hookup, The Red Raid-
ers’ mentor questioned Risley on his
jearly football career, on his years
as an arbiter on the gridiron, and
concerning his views on football as
it is played today
Since he played football at the
central New York state school, ‘Riz’
made a name for himself as a foot-
ball official, He had handled a large
number of important — gridiron
clashes in the cast and as far west
as Denver, The Albany man was
one of the few American officials
securing a Spaulding "A" rating,
‘Riz’ has been one of the leaders
in the activity of the Colgate
alumni in this vicinity, It was
jlargely through his efforts that the
|long established custom of Saturday
alumni luncheons at the University
club was initiated.

Rand Is First Senior
To Sell Short Story
Gordon Rand, '39, managing
editor of both the Lion and the
Echo, has become the senior
class's first successful author
by virtue of the sale of a
vignette to the American Maga-
vine,
Tough Guy, which was
printed in the spring issue of
the Echo last year is the first
short story that Rand has at-
tempted to sell to a national
magazine. It is the tale of the
fountain attendant that meets
up with the supposedly big
bandit and finds—oh well buy
a copy of Amevican and find
out. Rand was a member of
Mr. William Hardy's English
10 class and Dr. Thompson's
Creative Writing course.
His success has helped to
make many of the literary
seniors conscious of the maga-
zine field as a recipient for their
stories.

Nelson Explains
New Procedure
In Examinations
Comprehensives Will Replace
Usual Semester Finals
in Year Courses
by John A, Murray
Recent announcements in certain
courses, to the effect that a new
system of comprehensive examina-
tions at the close of a year’s study
would be substituted for the pre-
vailing system of final examinations
at the close of each semester, have
provoked much comment among stu-
dents in the various classes as to
the implications of this action, As
is often the case in such situations,
many of the impressions received by
the students via the ‘grape-vine
telegraph’ have been either mislead-
ing or inaccurate, Other students
have professed an almost complete
ignorance concerning the details of
the recently announced plans, In
order to correct or complete these
impressions, an interview was sought
with Dr, Milton G. Nelson, dean of
the college.
January Break to Go
Dr, Nelson explained that the new
system was being adopted to do
away with that complete break In
college study at the end of January
and the intensification of work and
worry with long papers due, With
examinations in every course just
two or three weeks after the Christ-
mas holiday, stuaents have found
January the drab month of the year,
‘He pointed out that this was par:
ticularly disheartening to student:
because mid-winter climate is so
gloomy and since this is the season
when colds and other health plagues
are at their worst. He added that
“the traditional division of the
academic year into two halves does
not seem logical for those students
who are registered in year courses
where the assumption is made that.
there is a continuous period of study
(beginning in September and ending
in June,”
The dean stated that current
“trends in American education point,

Personal
Viewpoints
(EGO is given the widest lati-
tude as author of this column,
though his viewpoints do not
necessarily always reflect those
of the Srats Conner News.)
In the course of events we
must meet some unpleasant
things and so the semi-annual
examinations sends us into our
usual dither. And so the new
system relieves the pressure a
bit at this time. We really would
like to know what happens if we
flunk fearfully in June. We
won't worry about that however
until we do—or at least until we
will, Involved—eh what?
This last semester has been
gruelling to everyone in the ac-
tivities office because of the al-
most dense population of the
place, We wonder why the ac-
tivilles heads don’t lock the
place up. We would. The people
who have work to do on an
activity can’t And a typewriter

lof the student's work at the end of
(the course in June in place of the
‘older plan by which each course
might be dismissed and credit de-
posited at the end of a semester.
Tentative Grades
Concerning the procedure to be
followed under this plan, Dr, Nelson
stated that instructors in courses in
several departments have been re-
quested to cooperate in this experi-
ment beginning January, 1939, This
experiment will substitute in place
of the January examinations, the
Procedure used at mid-semester,
namely, the registering of a tentative
grade based upon papers submitted
and class quiz grades. It is expected
that this procedure will demonstrate
that the student just returning from
the Christmas holidays, having been
distracted by social functions, will
be relieved from preparation for final
examation in a part of the courses
for which that student is registered | ;
and that this relief will enable the
student to prepare himself more
logically for those final examinations
Wriews with those students doing un-
satisfactory work, others will use
this time for summarizing assign-
ments,
Students fearful that preparation
for a comprehensive examination in
dune may prove a herculean task
will find solace in the announcement
that “it is expected that in all
courses where examinations have
been omitted in January, provision
will be made for a unifying and sum-
marizing treatment of the work of
the entire course: in other words the
student will be expected to receive
assistance in bringing together the
course materials and in organizing
his conclusions,”
Student Opinion Sought
According to Dr. Nelson, the
permanency of this plan will depend
on the success during future years
of this experiment which is now be-
ing initiated. The Dean's office will
welcome expression of opinion from
members of the student body, Stu-
dents are advised that it is particu-
larly desirable for the faculty to be
informed whether or not students
