DEPARTMENTS DIFFERENTIATE
Credit: Getting what you deserve

By KAREN TINKLENBERG
Why can a history major
spend the same amount of time
and effort on classes as a psy-
chology major. but graduate a
semester earlier?
The answer is that a history
student can take all four-credit
courses for four years while the

psych major can choose between
62 three- credit courses and five
four-credit courses.
A look at the literary college
course catalogue or the cur-
rent time schedule reveals a
similar disproportionate num-
ber of three and four-credit
classes in many other depart-
ments.
For example, a political sci-
ence undergraduate can select
from 46 different four-credit
classes and 34 worth three cred-
its, while a chemistry student
can choose from only seven
four- credit courses, 10 three-
credits and 15 two-credit
courses.
The decision of how much
academic credit a course receives
depends on the LSA Curriculum
Committee and Executive Com-
mittee, which must approve the
course request submitted by the
department head.
According to English Prof.
Hugh English, Curriculum Com-
mittee chairman, each course
request states the number of
credit hours desired and a de-
scription of the amount and
kind of work thetcourse requires.
English says the Curriculum
Committee bases its approval
for accreditation on the for-
mula that one credit hour equals

three hours of work both inside
and outside class.
This means a student taking a
three-hour laboratory with no
homework would get the same
amount of credit as a student
spending an hour in a lecture
and two hours on homework.
English says three years ago
the history department peti-
tioned the committee for per-
mission to change all its un-
dergraduate course values to
four credits. The committee ap-
proved the request because they
thought the courses would re-
quire an equivalent amount of
,ork -- twelve hours in and out
of class.
However, one student in His-
tory 576 says that four-credit
course required only one hour a
week in class with no homework
except a final paper.
An English 269 student, who
estimated he spent ten hours a
week studying and three hours
in class, would receive at least
four credit hours for the three-
credit course, according to the
formula,
Another student who took
Psychology 290 and estimated
I hat she spent six hours on
outside classwork a week as well
as one and a half in class would
similarly receive three credits
*stead of the present two.
However, many disillusioned
LSA students discover that, con-
sidering the amount of time
they suend on one course in and
out of class, they are lucky to
get as much credit as they did.

Fleming had predicted last Jan-
uary that he would not appoint a'
successor to Norman until March
at the earliest, but promised the.
appointment would come "certain-
ly before the end of the term."
Fleming had sought applications
for the post through advertising
in the American Council on Edu-
cation Chronicle and through fac-
ulty nominations.

There are things they don't
teach you in law school.
Oliver A. Rosengart is a trial lawyer who knows\ them all.
In BUSTED: A Handbook for Lawyers and Their Clients, he

respond at the police station and at the arraignment, how
to get the charges dropped, and-if that fails-how to get
around the written and unwritten rules of trial law..
BUSTED is a realistic legal education for political activists,"
pot smokers, longhairs, sexual non-conformists, and mi-

wants to be truly effective when he comes up against
the system.
