...inevitable result of the pressure to achieve grades created externally from the use of grade averages, the relief of which is the accepted motive, and rightly so, for the current proposal. Moreover, this concentration in efforts by students to three courses will almost surely be accompanied by an implicit reinterpretation by the faculty of what constitutes the requirements for a course; the faculty almost surely will fairly quickly adjust its requirements so as to match student efforts, each course constituting a one third load. In short, only a far more drastic change (for example, to a complete or nearly complete...
That such a concentration in education which would result from the present pass-fail proposal is not intended is evidenced by the rejection in the December faculty meeting of Professor Handlin's proposal of a simple three graded course system. To the extend that the incentive structure implicit in the present pass-fail proposal has been appropriately represented above, this vote on Handlin's amendment is essentially a rejection of the present pass-fail proposal. What is at issue is not the objective, but the means; the pass-fail option as presently proposed is clearly unsatisfactory...
...graded system, and given the present use of grades, there is no marginal change by which the university can induce students to channel much effort outside of graded courses. The fifth course proposal comes the closest, and is consistent with the premise that the allocation of effort implicit in a four course graded system is preferred to three, a premise substantialted by the faculty's action on the Handlin Amendment. The faculty and student body need reconsider the present pass-fail vote in light of that vote. Mahlon Straszheim Assistant Professor Department of Economics

The SSS has shown that it is not merely rereading the old regulations; it now feels empowered to create new ones. As the intensity of the war escalates, the SSS appears to expect a similar increase in its own power. The recent hyperactivity of the organization has attracted unprecedented criticism from many quarters, and, quite understandably, repercussions from its actions have been felt on almost every level of college life...
...mentioned Judge Cooley's memorable phrase (1888) that there is "the right to be let alone." Implicit in this is the right to live and the right to die. There is also the opposite right, to communicate. The individual's right to be let alone conflicts with the advancement of that part of society which is based upon scientific research. The development of science requires reasonable freedom for the investigator; at the same time a healthy society imposes restraints on him for the sake of the individual. Thus tension exists between society and scientific man. "This tension between society...
