REASON'S )'01 Di 

. ?

1. ? 

The vast 

of appli cations cu):rccntiy are not processed by 

the S. C. C. A. but by the Assi i:ant iegi sLier, Graduate Studies. 

2.

The applicat ions wlii ch 

i.dored by i:1ie S. C. C. A. are frequently 

delayed for several. weeks citicor because of the few applications to be 

processed or because of the di ff icult\' in getting the members of the 

Committee together. 

3.

The

new

General Reguial:i 

ens

for Graduate Studies delineates more ci early 

than hereto the ndcii ssi on receircmcnts of all categories of graduate student. 

4.

The problem of changin,, membership of this committee every semester does 

not facilitate the evolution of giiidel.i ncs to help in deciding difficult 

applications. 

5.

Interpretation of Senate policy with regard to admission could be 

handled equally well. through the Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies, 

together with 

E:ecntive Co;nmittce of Senate Committee on Craduat:e Studies.
