Polar Vol. XXIII College Sue Hold GPA Sue Owen and Fay Laurie Letters To Editor Dear Editor: How are you? I am fine. I just thought you would like to receive a nice letter for a change. Sincerely, Bob Entered as Second Class Postage paid at College, Alaska 99735. The POLAR STAR is the official publication of the Associated Students of the University of Alaska, and is issued to members of that organization as a part of the benefits secured from their membership fees. The POLAR STAR was created by an act of the A.S.U.A. assembled October 24, 1946. EDITORIAL EDITOR Merv Mullins MANAGING EDITOR Sue Owen BUSINESS MANAGER Fay Laurie ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER Sandy Peterson ADVERTISING MANAGER Jimmie Jones COLUMNIST Art Buchwald REPORTERS Douglas Burnside, Carla Robert ADVISOR S. Dean Olson 20 By MERV MULLINS A resignation by Sue Owen from the position of managing editor of the Polar Star, written be- cause Dr. Haines had declared her academically ineligible for the position under rules instituted last summer, was rejected Tuesday because Senate did not want to establish the precedent that the Administration could tell the ASUA who could be editor of its publications. A motion was then made to match qualifications for ASUA appointed positions to the University ' s regulations. The problem arose because academic require- ments for extra-curricular activities had been changed so that those with less than a 2.00 cumulative average could not participate in any activities — not just those requiring absence from classes. The catalog carried the old regulations and the A-Book, published by the Office of Student Affairs, carried a vague statement that gave no indication that a change had been made. A complaint was made that Dr. Haines had been informed of Sue ' s status last summer, yet he made no move to enforce the regulations until after registration had closed for the spring se- mester. Thus Sue was left enrolled in three credits of Journalism, which required her to do work on the paper anyway. Another complaint was that Dr. Haines had waited until after Sue had well above 2.00 last semester before taking an action. The delay was probably due to a lapse in memory on Dr. Haines ' part. Although the regulations leave the loophole that someone can be hired to do a job, without regard to grades. Senators felt that the precedent in- volved would be too dangerous. Instead, they di- rected that a letter be sent to the Administration asking that an exception, as provided in the regulations, be granted. Cutler and Haines have already indicated to the paper ' s faculty advisor that they would consider granting an exception in this case. In defending the regulation earlier. Dr. Cutler had stated that ASUA President Phil Holland had been consulted and had given his approval be- fore the change had been made. Phil commented that he remembered no such talk, but that the matter could have come up as part of a general discussion. Sourdough Jerk Says: Sackett raises Cain over Abel staffs ' dinner.
