ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM (6) The University Senate recommends that the following requirements for admission to the School of Journalism be established effective September 1, 1949, applicable to students entering the University after that date: "For admission to the School of Journalism as a candidate for a degree a student must be able to matriculate in one of the undergraduate colleges of the University and must offer in addition, fifty-six semester hours of work in one of the undergraduate curricula, exclusive of required courses in physical education and military science. A candidate who seeks admission from another institution must offer the same amount of work in an established curriculum of that institution. No applicant whose grade point average in all college work is less than 3.5 will be admitted except on approval by the School of an individual petition for admission. An applicant for admission will find it to his advantage to include in his pre-journalism curriculum at least six hours of rhetoric and composition, ten hours of science, which may include mathematics, and twelve hours of social sciences (history, political science, economics, sociology, and psychology)-" The School of Journalism is a senior division; two years of college work are required for admission to the professional curricula. The present requirements for admission include a minimum grade point average of 3.25. The change proposed is to increase this to 3.5 with the provision that exceptions may be authorized on individual petitions. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, these requirements were established as recommended.
