The Rev. George Bergen, S. J., assistant dean; Mr. Ed SocoU, professor of English; Mr. Joseph Tregle, professor of history; and Mr. Steve Vasques, director of the Evening Division, participated in the discussion.

Father Bergen and Mr. Vasquez agreed in approval of a system of grading given just for the individual professor's use. Mr. Socola and Mr. Tregle found fault with the general systems of this kind.

Leßon, Jr. Independent Group Requests Ousting Incompetent' SC by Larry Callen A pamphlet requesting the rejection of incompetent members of the present Student Council by students was presented before the Council by Bill Mallette, Arts and Science sophomore representative. Mallette, representing the Independent Committee for Student Government, said that the paper is presently being circulated among the student body. The paper stated that, since the present Student Council "is unwilling to enforce administrative regulations"; have rejected student government; consider the student body "not ready to perform democratic governmental functions"; then "the Council has shown itself irresponsible and unwilling to cooperate in the accomplishment of its duties"; has "overlooked the opinion of the students who are the source of its authority"; and that "the opinion of the Council members is an insult to the people who elected them". Council members agreed that the student right to petition must be upheld, and while tabeling the matter, suggested that representatives of the Independent Committee for Student Government present their case at a future meeting and establish themselves concretely as representatives of student opinion and not the views of a small number of students. However, the consensus of opinion among Council members seemed to be that the charges were unfounded, and the majority of students were in agreement with its rejection of student government responsibility at the previous meeting. The suggestion was made that a poll of student opinion on the matter be made, but no action was taken. With the tabeling of the matter, the meeting moved on to consider new business. 759 Petitioners A petition signed by 759 University students, requesting that Ash Wednesday be made a school holiday, was presented to the Student Council for recommendation to University officials. A. J. Capritto, Business Administration president, made the petition to the Council, which would mean five schoolless days to the majority of students. This petition was brought to the attention of the Administration Thursday and was rejected. Classes will resume Wednesday as usual.
