)C LIFK! G.P.A. ) Many students do not understand the grade point average system (GPA), therefore it is the hopes of this pub- lication to clarify it in this article. It ' s really very simple. Quality points are figured like this: A = 4 quality points per semester hour. If you receive an A in a 3 hour course you will have a total of 12 quality points. (Note: B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0). Once you have figured your quality points divide them by the total num- ber of credit hours that you have attempted. It is important to remem- ber that if you withdraw or are with- drawn from a class you receive hours, credit and quality points. Therefore it does not affect your grade average. Audits are recorded in the same manner but you are still al- lowed to attend the class. (Note: you may only withdraw or audit a class by filling out the appropriate form in the registrar office.) if you fail a class, the hours attempted are recorded on your tran- script but you will not receive any quality points, consequently your gra- de average will be lowered. If you repeat a class because you received a D or F, your first attempt is erased from your average. The C.L.E.P. test and other exams can be taken to earn credit but you do not receive any hours or quality poi- nts, just credit. I hope this has made G.P.A. clearer for you. Please remember that a 2.0 average is needed to graduate. If you would like this explained further, see the councelor for your major.

The convention concisted of three days of workshops on such things as feature writing, photography, adver- tising, newswriting techiques, editor- ial writing, a critiquing of publications was held, and a luau by the hotel pool. One of the most interesting hap- penings was the banquet which fea- tured speaker Ranan Lurie an inter- nationally known political cartoonist. Mr. Lurie gave his views on graphics in publications and answered questions. The convention ended with a con- tinental breakfast during which awards were presented for the best publica- tions, the Galleon won eight of these awards. Chuck Andersen
