Ker- ans, recorder, students who made “4’s” or “E’s” last semester must, make them up this semester or the grade automatically becomes a “5” and cannot be made up. It is very important that this matter should be looked into, for Mr. Kerans states that many students believe they may wait as long as a year after making a “4” before mking it up, but if this is done, they will lose a half credit in the subject in which they have failed, and it can never be made up. bringing knowledge to the mass of the people.
