demic standards after admission
and particularly in the first two
years.
DR.. Wilson H. Elkins, presi-
dent, declared they are designed
to "offer large quantity of stu
dents a quality product"
The rules were drawn by
committee of the Senate, a fac
ulty group established by Dr..
Elkins to answer criticism that
the teachers did not have enough
voice in Maryland administra-
ton.
Minimum Average
The basic change in academic
standards is a requirement that
students maintain a minimum
scholastic average and make
progress toward a diploma.
AT present, Maryland students
nave only to pass at least half
OF their subjects to avoid dis
misSal
In addition, under the new reg
ulation. he will have to average
Id tD+) in all his subjects or
be placed on probation. Marks
range from 0 to 4. A student
who fails more than 35 per cent
OF his subjects also will be put
on probation.
A probationary student must
then have an average of at least
l Is and not fail more than IS
per cent or be dismissed.
The scholastic average also is
going to be harder to achieve.
The first two years of training in
the Officers Reserve Corps, re-
quired health and physical edu-
cation courses won't count. These
courses in the past have counted
when determining if a student
passed at least half his work.
Students no longer will be able
to Just pass enough subjects to
stay in college without pro-
crossing.
/ II they don't qualify as juniors
after five semesters. they will 60
on probation, which means they
VIII have to maintain a higher
scholastic average. If they don't
rate as Juniors after six semes-
tiers. they are to be dismissed.
lhere are two semesters in a
college year.
This emphasizes the necessity
OF satisfactory achievement in
the basic subjects taken BY the
majority of students during the
first two years" the faculty
Rules Committee stated.
One FUNK Allowed
Under the new rules. the stu
dent is expected to make up his
program early in the semester
and TO stay with his commit
ments. The student is expected
to pass courses on the first
attempt.
The student who does so re-
ceives a higher academic aver
age than the student who must
repeat one or more courses. In
der the old rules. this discrimi-
nation in favor OF the stronger
student was not made"
Generally. a student will be
able TO repeat a fiunked course
only once instead of over and
over. Both his original mark
and his second will be incluced
III figuring his scholastic aver
age. In the past the second
mark was substituted for the
first.
Normally students will not be
permitted to drop courses after
the first three weeks.

that the controversy threatens
the replacement bridge the Dis
trict wants to build this year
over the Potomac River at Four
teenth street NV.
Mr.. Smith and Senator Gore
locked horns as Senate District
subcommittee yesterday beg n
to retrace the tortuous argu-
ments over whether a six-lane
bridge or a four-lane tunnel
should be built over or under the
river at Constitution avenue.
Last year, both the House anC
Senate approved the bridge, but
it snagged on the draw spar
issue. In 1854, Congress also
approved the bridge. and that
legislation still is on the books
This week, however, a HOUSE
subcommittee approved the sub

his questions on the traffic argu-
ments. and said it was his inten-
ton to resolve them.
Lively Tangle
] The most lively testimony
however. was an exchange be-
tween Senator Gore and Mr.
Smith over the draw span.
Senator Gore, chairman OF
the Senate Highway Subcom-
mittee. said he opposed draw
spans on Potomac bridges now
and forever hereafter because
the safe and efficient move
ment of traffic" must have
priority on the huge new Fed
eral system of interstate high
ways.
Mr. Smith argued for a tunnel
at Constitution avenue which
would eliminate the draw span
issue.
He also noted that the House
tins week passed a bill authoriz-
ing the old Fourteenth Street
Bridge replacement with a draw
span. however. Since the exist
ing Fourteenth Street Bridge has
a draw span. Mr.. Smith said. he
hoped Senator Gore would not
oppose that.

by Senator O'Mahoney, Demo-
crat of Wyoming. and Represent

Mr.. Broyhill. who previously
has supported a bridge, said
yesterday he had mo strong
feeling" about the two, and that
he felt a four-lane tunnel would
handle traffic adequately.

nents were Conrad Wirth. Ma

Commissioner Lane empha
sized that a six-lane crossing

But prosecution sources made

accused of conspiring to violate

identified along with Kasper
were william Brakebill, Law
renee Brantley, the Rev. Alonzo
Bullock, Clifford Carter. Clyde
Cook, Mrs. Mary Nell Currier
and w. H. Till.
The apparent purpose of the
examination of Mr.. Braden by
United States Attorney John c.

lationship among the defend
ants which would show CON
cert Of action"
At the conclusion of MIR.
Braden's testimony, the defense
objected strenuously, and
moved that it be stricken from
the record. Judge Taylor over
ruled the motion, but empha-
sized for the benefit of the
jury that there was no law
against holding meetings.
Mr.. Braden told of unrest in
Clinton early in December,
which eliminated in an attack
by segregationist elements on
a white preacher who escorted
Negro children to school.
Pastor Due to Testify
Mr.. Braden did not testify as
to the actual assault on the
Rev. Paul Turner. Mr.. Turner,
a pastor of the First Baptist
Church of Clinton, is scheduled
to testify today. He will be the
star witness in the Government
case in this trial which is now
in its second week.
Mr.. Turner will testify on
events leading up to the beat
ing he suffered a block away
from Clinton Ugh School after
he had brought Negro students
to the school. One of his two
associates in his trip down the

ton today after giving testi-
mony at length yesterday.
He was Sidney Davis, 80, a

really responsible for trouble
there.
