The Chicago MaroonVolume, 79, Number 58 The University of Chicago Tuesday, May 18, 1971The grading system: a special analysisABCDFBy AUDREY SHAUNSKYThough students find it hard to believe,variation in the letter grading system hasled to concern that grades in the Collegeare too high.Dean of Undergraduates George Playeexplained that the median grade point av¬erage has gone from 2.6 to 3.2 in the lastfive years. “Actually, the average is evenhigher, because as incomplete’s are madeup, the average is raised,” he said.“In about one-third of the courses taughtthis past fall no grade lower than a B wasgiven,” he estimated.Five years ago, Playe said, the CollegeCouncil passed a resolution “to ease up ongrades.” The reason for this shift was thatChicago’s grades in comparison to similarcolleges were too low, he said.“However, the change was not movingfrom a C curve to a B curve. There is noCollege-wide curve. Grading has alwaysbeen left to the individual instructor.”The problem has just come up this year,according to Playe. Students whose gradepoint averages would have assured them aplace in law school are having difficulty.“Graduate institutions are looking at thegrades of our applicants and comparingthem,” Playe said. “They see that all ourstudents have high grades so they just ig¬nore them and use only the graduaterecords exam (GRE) and board scores.”“All we have succeeded in doing is re¬placing the pressure for good grades withthe pressure for high GEE’S,” he said.“I was appalled at the high cutoff marksat some of the mediocre institutions ourstudents had been applying to as safetyschools,” he added.With these problems, Chicago’s reputa¬tion seems to be going down, according toPlaye. “It takes time to change the reputa¬tion of an institution like Chicago, but atleast as far as law schools go, time hascaught up with us,” he said.Playe is convinced that the grade pointaverage here is higher than at Harvard orAmherst where the requirement for dean’slist is 3.0.Dean’s list here is now 3.25 and the num¬ber of students on it has doubled in the lastfive years, Playe said. The 3.25 cutoff pointpossibly may be changed, he added.“There is more call for explanation as towhat grades mean now than there was afew years ago,” Playe said. “However,there are no plans to change the present Athrough F system.” Playe opposes systemsof no grading such as that at Antioch.“They have evaluations,” he explained.“Graduate schools that have 2700 appli¬cants are not going to go through that eval¬uation garbage. Many times the eval¬uations just say ‘If we had grades I wouldhave given this person so and so’.”Many students find it impossible to be¬lieve that the grade point average is ashigh as the figures indicate. A typical com¬ment was “My god, I didn’t know I wasthat far below average. I don’t believe it.”Students also said they do more workhere for lower grades than their friends doat Harvard, Yale, Stanford etc. Playe saidthat this is “simply a myth also present atany of those colleges.”Although many students in the Collegeworry about grades because of admissionto graduate school, Loma Straus, assistantdean of students, feels that grades are alsoimportant to the adviser and to the studenthimself.“The adviser can tell in what area a stu¬dent’s abilities lie” she said. “Grades areespecially important for the first year stu¬dent as a means of self-assessment and forthe third year student so he can tell howthe professors in his field react to hiswork,” she added.Since grading is up to the instructor,widp variations exifct within each collegiate division. For example in the biology divi¬sion this year students on various classeshave been given guaranteed A’s, guaran¬teed B’s, or have been graded according toa distribution curve.Biology professor Richard Levins givesall A’s because he believes “grading is in-imicable to the educational process.” “Thefunction of the teacher is to help studentslearn and not to measure them,” he said.“We are not advance personnel managersfor the job market.”Levins guesses that about half of hiscommon core biology class ib actively par¬ ticipating in discussion and handing in writ¬ten work. “I have been accused,” he said,“of sabotaging the grading system. I guessI hope I am.”Block professor of biology Richard Le-wontin is presently giving guaranteed B’sin his classes. He said he was thinking ofchanging to guaranteed A’s.“Students must hand in a three- to four-page paper to get the B. If they want an Athey must do a longer paper,” he said.“The attendance is as good in my courseas it is in those who grade A through F,”continued on page z PNIRWBy SUE LOTHGrading at the University these days of¬fers many more options than the traditionalA-B-C-D-F. In addition to pass-no credit (P-N), incomplete (I), and registered (R),there may be yet another letter gradepending approval by the College Council.The pass-no credit grades are fairly wellknown by students. No figures are avail¬able on the number of undergraduates tak¬ing at least one pass during their fouryears, but it is probably a majority — espe¬cially of those enrolled last spring...Following the Cambodia strike, the Col¬lege faculty voted to bend regulations thatquarter so that students could qualify forP-N grading, even in courses of their majoror divisional requirements, with the ap¬proval of individual professors.Even during ordinary quarters, P-Nmarking is available in most collegiate andgraduate divisions, and in at least one pro¬fessional school.Most undergraduate divisions prohibit“pass” grading for required courses in thestudent’s major. A notable exception is thenew collegiate division, which places heavyemphasis on independent study courses and“P” marking.Among the graduate professional schools,medical students receive “pass-no” marksexclusively, and most first-year law stu¬dents are petitioning for a similar depar¬ture from conventional grading.The non-weighted mark differs from“pass-fail” systems used at many otherschools in that, if one doesn’t pass, the “N”will not have the same disastrous effect ona grade point average that an “F” would.Regulations state that a student shouldregister for P-N grading with his adviserby the end of second week in a given quar¬ter. This rule, like many others, is oftenstretched or ignored; students and profes¬sors make decisions about pass-no creditmarks on a far more diversified and indi¬vidual basis.P-N grading was instituted in autumn,1967. College faculty endorsed the systemfollowing the issuance of a report by a fac¬ulty-student committee on grading.Students approve of P-N grading for avariety of reasons. Said Paul Volkman,graduate student in pharmacology,“Grades are not a stimulus for those whoare mature enough to learn for the inherentvalue of what is in the course material.”Mitch Kahn ’71 expressed a differentview. “As long as there is such a stronglyaggressive competition as exists at thisschool, there must be a mechanism where¬by students can relieve that stress,” hesaid. “If pass-no pass were removed at thiscampus, the suicide rate would double.”Assistant professor of anatomy and as¬sistant dean of undergraduate students Lor-na Straus is one who sees value in what theUniversity terms “quality” grades.“Grades in the long run are to provideothers with some kind of assessment,” shesaid. “For students here, ‘others’ are oftengraduate schools. Graduate schools preferto look at quality grades. The sheer num¬ber of applications sometimes necessitatesthis.”One such school is the University ofMichigan. It has announced that it will re¬fuse to examine a student’s transcript withmore than 10 percent “pass’ grades (formost College students here, that means fiveor more).Another popular, if temporary, alterna¬tive to conventional marking is the in¬complete. The “I” is often granted when astudent fails to submit required coursework before the end of a quarter. Someprofessors will grant I’s automatically,rather than give F’s to students who don’thand in papers.Official regulations regarding in-Continned on page 2David FosseHEADACHES AND WRITER’S CRAMP: While the purpose of a grading system isstill unresolved, students continue to work under its pressure.LETTERS TO THE EDITORSABCDFContinued from page 1he said. "The educational system is warpedif grades become rewards for learning,” headded. "We are setting up competition in¬stead of cooperation; learning should neverbe forced.”In one common core biology sequence,collegiate division master Arnold Ravinteaches the quarter after Lewontin. Ravingrades on both exams and papers. "Afteraveraging the scores I plot a distribution,”he said."I do not believe in using a normal curvebecause a class just doesn’t work that way.But I have an idea about what I consider agood performance to be. I try to look forclusters in the distribution.”While not personally happy about lettergrades, Ravin believes students are en¬titled to know how their performances areregarded by the faculty. “Faculty maywork as hard as they can for reform, butthey shouldn’t sabotage the arrangement,”he said.“Our division had discussions on thisquestion fall quarter and most of the facul¬ty wanted to continue giving letter grades,”he noted.There are iimilar variations in gradingin the other divisions. Students in the physi¬cal science division are reputed to have thelowest grade point averages, Playe said.Many humanities and social sciencescourses are generally believed to gradehigh because only papers are required.Political science professor TheodoreLowi, like many humanities and social sci¬ence instructors, assigns research papers.“My attitudes have changed because Ithink student spirit has changed. I rarelygive exams but require more writing,” hesaid.Lowi disapproves both of giving all A’sand of grading by normal curve. He rarplyflunks people and gives incompletes whenpapers are not turned in.He has experimented with guaranteedgrades. Following the Cambodia strike lastspring, the use of the grade P was liber¬alized that quarter. Lowi, though then onleave, wrote an open letter to UniversityPresident Edward Levi protesting the polit¬icalization of the University.Though against the war, he felt that theUniversity should not offer an interim forpolitical work and decided to give guaran¬teed A’s in protest. At the end of fall quar¬ter when he realized that his protest hadnot stopped the politicalization of the Uni¬versity, he went back to his earlier gradingsystem.Language classes are usually graded bymid quarter examinations and finals, MaryAnn Swartz, assistant professor of French,estimates that between a fifth and a fourthof the students get A’s in French 101, 102,103. “Basically we have an idea of what astudent should do on each exam, but thiscan be modified up or down. We try to lookfor improvement,” she said.One student in Lewontin’s and Ravin’ssequence said, “Maybe the faculty think itsnice to leave grading up to the discretion ofthe individual instructor, but it sure thehell is disconcerting to jump from a guar¬anteed B to a possible D.” Lewontin replyIn his Maroon letter of 5-14, Edward An¬ders criticizes Levins and me for applyingto Hanoi for a research grant, since hefears it may expose the University to somesort of retaliation from Washington.Our request for a nominal sum of moneyfrom a country with which Nixon is at waradds an important political dimension to aproject that alone might be interpreted assimply humanitarian. It makes it a clearact of solidarity with the people of In¬dochina.Nixon, Agnew, Mitchell, et al, are tryingto intimidate all who actively oppose theirwar, and Anders’ argument aids their ef¬forts. Given the devastation that the US isinflicting on the people and land of In¬dochina, and considering also the contin¬uing loss of American lives, it seems atbest almost criminally selfish to oppose asmall gesture of support through scientificcollaboration for reconstruction on thegrounds that it might incur the wrath ofcriminals in Washington.I am really moved by Anders’ solicitudefor the financial problems of the Democrat¬ic Republic of North Vietnam. He is, ofcourse, quite right when he suggests thatAmerican professors ought to dig into theirown pockets to make some reparations forthe criminal acts performed by the UnitedStates in Southeast Asia. This is especiallytrue when one considers that the high stan¬dard of living enjoyed by American aca¬demics is in part a direct result of Ameri¬can imperialism and exploitation.I therefore will match, dollar for dollar,up to a limit of $500, any money EdwardAnders cares to contribute to the researchon reclamation of land and forests de¬stroyed by the American forces in Viet¬nam.Perhaps Anders can spare some of the$2000 he was awarded last month by theprestigious National Academy of Sciencesin recognition of his scientific work. Failing that he might contribute the medal thatwent with the cash. It must be worth some¬thing.Richard LewontinBlock professor of biologyDogs againThe University’s recent decision to banfree-running dc/s from campus, while I’mnot sure it’s the right one, is aimed at thesolution of a real problem.The issue of rabies is not the best one toraise — whether rabies is very likely inCook County is open to question, andwhether the vaccine is effective if in¬oculated after the bite is a matter of con¬troversy.But it is true that children and studentsshould not run the risk of being bitten sothat a few dog owners can let their pets runfree. There have been a number of in¬cidents in which people were snapped at bydogs.No dog is completely predictable; anydog’s bite could cause infection as well aspain. And owners of dogs just don’t havethe right to make fellow members of theUniversity community run those risks.Moreover, in case anybody hasn’t no¬ticed, the campus looks terrible. The plenti¬ful dog excrement is neither sanitary —once again, we don’t know if it’s dangerous— nor attractive. But there’s no reason atall why this place should be more depress¬ing than it has to — especially in thespring.So I suggest that people leash their dogsout of consideration for other people andfor the campus we all have to live with.However attractive and well-behaved yourdog may be — and I won’t deny that thecampus has some canine citizens that arefar more attractive than most of the hu¬mans — a reasonable regard for the needsand the comfort of other people dictatescompliance with the University’s new rule.Tony GraftonStudent Ombudsman PNIRWContinued from page 1completes state that after one quarter, an Iwill be converted to an F — but again, thisruling seems to remain unenforced.The grade does disqualify students fromconsideration for the dean’s list. In moder¬ation, however, they will not hurt one’sability to qualify for financial aid, accord¬ing to associate director of admissions andaid Fred Brooks.“One incomplete will hardly affect deter¬mination of an award,” he said. “However,if a student in any one quarter takes two ormore incompletes or if he takes a series ofincompletes over several quarters, thecommittee on College aid will ask for anexplanation of the incompletes.“Often,” Brooks added, “the committeewill ask that the student give evidence thathe has completed his work before an awardwill be made.”The “I” grade has several associated dif¬ficulties. “The longer you take to finishthem off, the harder it becomes,” one stu¬dent summarized.An adviser agreed that most of her stu¬dents who finished incompletes vowed“never again”.Another problem is simply adminis¬trative. Presently, incompletes depend on averbal agreement between professor andstudent.Difficulties can arise if the teacher dies,travels, leaves campus permanently, orsimply forgets what work is required be¬fore the student can finish the incomplete.Eight graduating seniors faced such situ¬ations this year.A possible solution to the complications isa proposed “incomplete form”, scheduledfor vote today by the College Council.If implemented, the form would requitefaculty and student to list completed work,grades received, work to be completed, anddeadline date (which, the form states,should be within the following quarter).Mrs Straus said of the proposed form,“It’s going to be interpreted as punish¬ment, but it’s not.“This form will be an attempt to estab¬lish and have enforced a permanent dead¬line for incompletes,” she added.The "R” is the last of the major uncon¬ventional grades — for the present. Offi¬cially, it signifies that a student registeredfor a course. It confers no credit and car¬ries no stigma — and according to the rulebook, must be requested before the end offifth week.According to Mrs Straus, a number ofinstructors have ignored that rule to helpstudents avoiding failing grades. This useof R has tainted the grade’s reputation forauditors, she noted.Another proposed solution to be voted bythe College Council today is the institutionof a withdrawal (W) grade, for studentswishing to drop a course after the fifthweek. Mrs Straus explained that it wouldnot affect grade point, but would have thestigma R should lack.All the unweighted, unconventionalgrades have enlarged options available tostudents. All may have helped contribute tothe rising grade point average. But that, asGeorge Playe noted elsewhere in today’sMaroon, is not without its drawbacks.DR.

They werejoined later by about 80 SDS and PLPmembers attending a conference here Sun¬day afternoon.“Wheat we want in addition to jobs forthe maids and painter who were laid off isa voice in the budget,” said Fred Glick-man, vice-president of the I-house council.“The house council adopted a resolutiondemanding to see the full budget by May18. and so far we haven’t gotten any in¬dication that they will present the full bud¬get to us,” said Eugene Gaer, an I-houseresident. “Some figures have been released to us,”Gaer said, “but we find these figures to beinadequate because they lump everythingtogether and you really can’t tell any¬thing.”According to I-house director David Ut¬ley, “We did put out a statement with somegeneral figures, but that isn’t the only thingwe intend to show them. I don’t think we’rebeing terribly secretive.“We’ve been trying to involve the housecouncil in the activities of the Board ofGovernors,” Utley said. “I’m all in favor ofthis and would like to see more of it. Ispoke this morning with the chairman ofthe Board of Governors to set up a meetingnext week with members of the house coun¬cil.“I’m very confident that there will besome kind of resident representation on theBoard of Governors, but I can’t say exactly “A University is a place for rational dis¬course. The major harm people like SDS doto a University is to reduce the opportunityfor rational discourse,” said Milton Fried¬man, Russell distinguished service profes¬sor of economics after a discussion Mondaynight.The open discussion, sponsored by Stu¬dents for Capitalism and Freedom, was oc¬casionally interrupted by eight to ten mem¬bers of SDS.One member shouted “I don’t respectwhat you say” to which Friedman retorted“If you have no respect for what I say thenyou don’t have to listen.” At one pointFriedman asked a member who was shout¬ing obscenities to leave.what form the participation will take, be¬cause we don’t know yet,” Utley said.Several I-house residents met with twomembers of the Board of Governors yester¬day, Charles O’Connell and Warner Wick.“They promished sympathetic attentionin the future,” Gaer said, “although theydid not make any definite commitment.”Another question raised by the I-houseresidents concerns the future of the fivemaids and painter who were laid off.“The house is claiming that they foundpermanent jobs for these people, but theyhaven’t,” Gaer said. “The maids definitelysay that their jobs are just summer re¬placement positions.”“They are full-time, permanent jobs,”Utley said. “They have been offered posi¬tions at Billings at a somewhat higherclassification.” Despite interruptions the audience of 100people generally appreciated his com¬ments. Friedman fielded questions onmany topics and tried to clarify his positionon many issues.Concerning the current internationalmonetary crisis and the floating of the Ger¬man mark Friedman advised “salutoryneglect . . . The best thing we can do aboutthe balance of payments problem is to for¬get about it completely.” He gives Presi¬dent Nixon “very very high marks” on hishandling of the crisis.“There is no way of curing inflationwhich would not involve a temporary risein unemployment.” said Friedman.Responding to a question about inter¬national trade Friedman stated “Freetrade among all countries of the worldwould enable them to use resources moreeffectively.”Friedman recognized the political diffi¬culties concerning trade with MainlandChina and Russia. “We must recognize thatif we restrict trade with them we hurt our¬selves as well as them,” he said.“If the SST is commercially viable thenprivate enterprise should build it.” saidFriedman. He said that one ought to besure there is support for a program beforeit is initiated.When asked to rate Nixon’s fiscal per¬formance Friedman replied “I think so farhe’s done very well in the sense that therate of inflation is roughly half that of1969.”“Unemployment will remain the samefor a few months and then will go down.The rise in unemployment in this recessionhas been smaller than any previous reces¬sion,” he said. Friedman believes theUnited States has now reached the end ofthe recession and the economy is beginningto come up.ABOUT THE MIDWAYJon YuenPICNIC PICKET: Library workers enjoy lunch on the Quads while discussing withstudents their demand for recognition.SG committeesAn open meeting of Student Governmentcommittees will be held in Ida Noyestonight at 7:30.The committees on external affairs, in¬ternal affairs, special projects, housing,and academic affairs will be making plansfor the summers and next year’s activities.Refreshments will be served.French philosopherPaul Ricoeur, internationally acclaimedFrench philosopher, has been appointed theNuveen professor in the divinity school andin the philosophy department at the Univer¬sity.The appointment was announced by Uni¬versity President Edward Levi.

Levi, PresidentThe University of Chicago5801 S. Ellis Ave.Chicago, III. 60637 103, N.C.D.W.A. -5746 S. MARYLANDCHICAGO, ILL17 MAY 1971 A.L.A.Dear President Levi:We are deeply troubled by the necessity which impels us to write to you. We hadhoped that a great and progressive institution might respond with good will toefforts by itsemployees to improve the quality of academic services and their own conditions of work.We had hoped that this might be accomplished without the slightest inconvenience topatrons of the Libraries and in a way which reflected credit upon this institution. Failing toconvince appropriate Library officials to settle the matter quickly and democratically, wehad hoped that the National Labor Relations Board might be prevailed uporj to enforcesuch a resolution of the issues. And we had hoped that whatever the disposition of ourundertaking, nothing would be done by anyone to disgrace the University and its principles.It now appears that our hopes have not been fulfilled. When we suggested that the Libraryadministration agree to an election among the Library employees to determine whether amajority wished to be represented by the Union we organized, our suggestion was rejected.When we suggested that an agreeable third party examine and verify our claim that amajority of Library employees of every kind had signed membership cards of the Union, ourproposal was met with silence. When we appealed to the National Labor Relations Boardwe discovered that the University's attorney had been instructed to resist with every legalresource a speedy and equitable resolution of the issues. The University's attorney began byclaiming that of the more than 120 librarians in professional positions, only 32 should bepermitted to vote in an NLRB election. He continued by demanding that the Library's clericalemployees be denied the right to an election unless they agreed to a bargaining unitcomposed of all the clerical employees of the University, an election the University wouldresist unless our Library Union could present membership cards signed by over thirty percentof all the clerical employees of the University. He finished by asserting that students of theUniversity should be denied all right of representation by a union in ringing violation of the"STUDENT BILL OF RIGHTS". This document, which appears on the opening pages of theSTUDENT HANDBOOK commits the University to defend the "Right, without penalty, ofstudents employed by the University to join or form unions and enter into collectivebargaining."Despite our disappointment with the position adopted by the university before the NLRB, theUnion prepared for the long legal battle which the University seemed intent upon pursuing.In an area as new and unclear as labor-management relations in private, non-profitcolleges and universities, and with considerable precedent from other areas to support ourdesire for a library union, we set to work to prepare our case. Our members spent hundredsof hours in this effort, none of them at University expense. On Thursday, May 6, NLRBhearings were scheduled to resume after a brief recess. On Wednesday, May 5, the Unionreceived a telegram from the B postponing these ings ineefinitely. The Regional Director of the NLRB reported to our chairman that the Board had decided, on the basis of Unionmaterials acquired from sources he would not disclose, to dismiss the Union's petition ongrounds that the participation of supervisory personnel in our Union made it a "company"union in the eyes of the law. Since a majority of the professional and non-professional"supervisory" personnel of the Library has indeed joined the union and participated in itactively, we have no means of resisting the dismissal of our petition.Therefore, we must appeal to you as administrative head of the University to intervene. Wedo not do so only on behalf of the Library's patrons and employees. We do so becauseelementary principles of honest discourse have been violated by the administration of theUniversity Library in its Staff Information Bulletin of 7 May. In that Bulletin, the Libraryadministration stated: "However, it must be recognized that the difficulty arises out of theunion's continuing effort to establish and to seek recognition for a bargaining unit that bylaw, the University could not have recognized." This statement is false. It implies that theUnion has been trying to force the University to break the law. It is not merely the injustice ofthis accusation which the Union finds intolerable. It is also the abandonment of principlethat leads us to ask for your intervention, to prevent further disgrace to this institution.It is still our hope that the officers and counsel of the University responsible for thesedevelopments have not accurately reflected the ideals of the University community nor thedeliberate judgment of the University's highest officials. We cannot believe, for example,that a majority of the Library's staff has been denied the courtesy of a place to meet byofficials so deeply committed to academic freedom as yourself. We are especially anxious toknow that University policy does not sanction misrepresentation of fact in matters relating toits personnel. We ask you to intervene to establish the authority of University policy in thesematters. -With equal urgency we ask you to intervene by recognizing the right of Library employeesto be represented by a union of their choice. We cannot believe that it is University policy todeny this right even when government agencies may not be compelled to enforce it.No one knows better than our patrons the disposition of Library employees to avoid publicconfrontation and to seek the refuge and dignity of reasoned discourse. We ask you tohonor the ennobling traditions of our great University by granting recognition to the Unionwe have chosen and by authorizing University officers to negotiate with our electedrepresentatives.Respectfully,cc: The Chicago Maroon(Copies of this letter were circulated among the Library Staff and the following employeessigned:)Marie Adler Robert A. deFalkenberg Linda Herrick Nellie Lewis Mary V.
