Kearney is now Head of Se- curity at New England Veteri- nary Center at the old Graf- ton State Hospital sight. ln his letter of resignation, Kearney said, A lot of soul- searching went into the deci- sion. Kearney had been with the college seven years as of April 1979. He said, I have had a very enjoyable relationship here with the students, staff and faculty. An acting chief still has not been named. But until one is named, Officer Frank Mis will continue to be in charge. has 2. lk V . , ,,..lfg,.Z.x As of 1979, Framingham State College has had a straight letter grading sys- 4 tem consisting merely of V -.--f A, B, C, D, and E. 1 A new marking system, 45 -,,, .1 explained in the Ram, has l i l.

The S.G.A. accepted the proposed center last April 1978 and the proposal was then sent to F.S.C. Pres. Justin McCarthy for approval. He refered this proposal to the F.S.C. Board of Trustees' attorney to be checked for legality. The proposal was delayed at this point due to a ques- tion of funding for certain forms of birth control. Ex- ecutive Board met with Pres. McCarthy several times in October 1979 and disatisfied students picketed out- side his office. No f f CONFIDENCE Pres. Justin McCarthy Due to the controversy over the delayed gynecolo- gical center on campus, the S.G.A. voted No Confid- ence regarding Pres. Just- in McCarthy. This was the first time in the history of the school that this was done.
