EXEMPT FROM
final TESTS

Exemption from final examina-
tions, together with certain other
privileges in the realm Of student
conduct, is contained in a list Of
concessions granted to honor stu
dents at Georgetown University
recently by Dean Rev. John E.
Grattan, S. j.
The innovation which, according
to representatives of the student
body, had been expected for some
time, became a reality at the last
meeting of the student council,
during which Father Grattan's an
nouncement was read to an ap-
plauding audience.
The ruling specifies that honor
students shall be exempt from all
final examinations, providing they
maintain an "a" marking in all
subjects. They will be required to
take examinations in subjects in
which they fail to merit that
mark, however, the ruling stated.
This applies to the third and
fourth quarters.
The decision was made retro
active IL that present seniors are
exempted from final examina-
tionS in their electives and reli-
gion subjects.
While no general exemption
from the regulations covering
class attendance can be extended
to honor students, Father Graf
tan's statement said, "all reason
able exemptions" will be granted
them, in view Of their high scho-
lastic standing. Regarding this,
the report said:
"The Dean Of Discipline will
be prepared to grant all reason
able requests for extra town
permissiOnS. Such extraOr.
dinary permissi0ns, however,
carry with them no privileges
with regard to the fixed time
for retiring at night. Any such
privilege must be obtained each
time explicitly from the Dean
of Discipline"
Commenting on the new ruling,
the Hoya, official university
organ, said:
"The students owe a debt Of
gratitude to the Dean, to the
Rector, to the Board, and to all
who made this innovation pos
Sible,"
