Action on credit
it
ii
by exam slow
(Continued from Page 1)
At present the faculty chairper-
sons are in favor of permitting
credit by examination only for un-
dergraduate LSA students. How-
ever, some want to leave the pos-
sibility open in the future for other
University units to participate.
Language departments are par-
ticularly interested in whether
they should allow a foreign stu-
dent to come to the University and
rack up an impressive number of
credits in his native language.
Faculty members are also won-
dering if students should receive
a grade for a course taken credit
by examination. If not, and credit
by examination becomes pass/fail
should failures be recorded on
transcripts. In addition it was ask-
ed how many times a student who
has failed an exam may be allow-
ed to retake it.
LSA faculty committees and in-
dividual departments hope to solve
these problems over the next few
months.
Another variable entering into
current discussions is Regental
blessing oftthe original measure.
According to Richard Kennedy,
secretary for the University, the
Regents do not have to formally
approve the measure, but want to
check out some of its implications

"The Regents were somewhat
dismaved by press coverage of the
issue in certain outstate newspap-
ers which indicate credit by exami-
nation would revolutionize the pro-
cess of obtaining a college degree,"
he said.
Kennedy believes the Regents
are aware of the more limited
scope of credit by examination and
are favorable to its overall con-
cept.
Although nothing concrete has
been accomplished on the depart-
mental level most departments are
gearing up machinery to formu-
late individual programs. Many de-
partments will allow student input
on questions concerning the
amount and types ofccourses to be
offered.
Chemistry Dept. Chair-
nan Thomas Dunn says that a
chemistry curriculum and policy
committee composed of students
and faculty will begin work soon
on credit by examination. He per-
nation will alleviate current over-
crowding in certain introductory
chemistry courses. "Even if only
a few take chemistry 114 or 225
credit by examination it could
lower enrollment and would im-
prove the classroom and lab en-
vironment", Dunn said.
Professor Gerhard Weinberg,
history dept. chairman, said a his-
tory curriculum committee com-
posed of three faculty members,'
two graduate students and two
undergrad students is looking into.
courses and exams that would be
relevant to credit by examination.

NEW YORK (AP)-Police laid siege to a sporting goods store in a
Brooklyn slum last night after they said a band of gunmen opened
fire from inside. One patrolman was killed and three wounded.
Police said at least four gunmen were holed up, with seven to
15 hostages
The hostages were believed to be employes and customers trapped
inside John and Al's Sporting Goods shop when a patrolman in-
terupted a holdup in progress at the store.
The slain officer was mowed down during an attempt by the gun-
men to shoot their way out of the store with the hostages.. Police
gunfire drove them back inside.
Officials said the bandits had access to "an arsenal" of shotguns
and high-powered semiautomatic hunting rifles which the store
stocked for sale to sportsmen.
An attempt was made by police to telephone the gunmen inside
the store. But the telephone lines had been cut, either inside or
outside.
The scene of the shootout was Williamsburgh, one of several
dismal Brooklyn slum areas. Another is Brownsville, and between
them they flank Bedford-Stuyvesant, whose 400,000 population makes
it the largest black community in the nation except for Chicago's
South Side.
