The (Continued on page 5) FIW Grade Discontinued; Withdraw Time Extended The Academic Standards Committee has made the follow-ing proposals relating to the withdrawal of students from courses. While these changes are to go into effect immediate-ly, they are subject to the ap-proval of the College Senate. The FIW (Failure Irregular Withdrawal) grade is discontin-ued. The period for students to withdraw from a course with-out penalty has been extended and will end April 5, 1968. Dur-ing this period a student will receive 5, W when he officially withdraws from a course. Students who drop courses af-ter April 5, must receive prior approval from the Dean of Stu-dents who has the authority to grant such requests only in oas-es where circumstances are bey-frond the student's control. Stu-dents will receive a WP if the instructor evaluated his work as passing, and a WF if his work is failing (the instructor is obligated to make an objec-tive evaluation of the student's work on the date of his with-drawal from the course). A ,student who fails to official-ly withdraw from courses or the college will receive F in all courses. Students withdrawing from courses must do so through the Registrar's Office; those with-drawing from the college, through the Dean of Student's Office. In the case of official withdrawal, the student will re-ceive a WP, if passing, or WIP, if failing. The stage is set for the it 8:15 p.m., March 13-16. Photo by Quante Glen Players' production of ""Camille"" in Stephens Hall Auditorium Gillespie Rewrite of ""Camille"" to Open Towson's Glen. Players will present ""Camille,"" their largest, most ambitious production of this season beginning Wednes-day, March 13 at 8:15 p.m. in Stephens Hall Auditorium. This version of ""Camille"" has been rewritten and adapted from Alexandre Dumas Jr.'s no-vel, ""La Dame aux Camellias, by Dr. C. Richard Gillespie and Miss Sheban Gannon, both of the Glen Players. Gillespie and Miss Gannon have combined the essence of Dumas' novel, significant ideas from the dramatized version of this novel, and actual historical accounts of Dumas' life. These three sources have been molded into one play with entirely re-done scripts and altered scenes to depict what Gillespie says is the emotional conflicts which raged through Dumas' mind in the wake of his father's scan-dalous life. Gillespie feels his revision is complete enough to apply for a copyright to his ""Camille."" Whitney Le Blanc's sets and lighting for ""Camille"" will be the largest and most impressive of the year. Le Blanc has had Stephens Hall stage extended almost 6 feet to accomodate his special effects. And more than 50 costumes will be used. Playing the title role will be Miss Maravine Shepard, with David Rovine as Armand, lead male. Others in the cast are: Harvey Bovine, Tom Kurtz, Dwight Schultz, Bob DeFrank, Barbara Richmond and Linda Hurman, "
