Ungraded Senior Tutorial Allowed

The Faculty of Arts and Sciences voted last Tuesday to allow Departments to give ungraded Senior tutorials for credit.

The decision empowers the Committee on General Education to approve plans of individual Departments. The arrangement will go into effect immediately, and those Departments which decide to give ungraded Senior Tutorial will not give grades for this semester's work.

Arthur A. Maas, chairman of the Government Department, said yesterday that his department would give ungraded Senior Tutorial because grading both a thesis and the tutorial was redundant. He said, however, that Junior tutorial would probably remain graded because there is nothing in it comparable to the thesis.

Robert Caves, chairman of the Economics Department, said that his Department will also take advantage of the plan.
