In an effort to increase the number of students receiving honors, the economics faculty has approved a plan to allow concentrators to graduate cum laude without writing a senior thesis.
According to Professor of Economics Gary Chamberlain, the full faculty of the economics department yesterday endorsed a "no-thesis alternative based on additional coursework" for those wishing to graduate cum laude.
The reason students feel the need to leave campus may be the stress generated by the recent wave of tests and thesis deadlines, said April J. McGrath '96.
"If I was at home [I would be celebrating], but here no," McGrath said. "I'm writing my thesis."
But now that he has handed his thesis in, its time for Vessey to relax and, like his other classmates this weekend, find the nearest television.
