Academic Standards Emphasized By Dean \No Easy Way To Top Grados\ Dr. Hoy I. Satre, Jr., NCCC Dean, today emphasized that \there is no easy way to obtain top grades.\ \Experience he said, \is the great teacher.\ \But he continued, \students should not wait to acquire exper- ience. They should be willing and eager to profit from the experience of their instructors.\ He called for \intensive note- taking during lecture periods\ and said this will provide the basis for factual review prior to examination periods. Dr. Satre also emphasized that there will be no exceptions to the Academic Standards policy established for the College. The policy states, 1. \A student must maintain a Quality Point Average of 2.0 (C) in each sem- ester to be in good academic standing.\ Other policy points listed by Dr. Satre are: 2. \First sem- ester students with less than a 1.0 (D)Quality Point Average are eligible for dismissal. 3. A minimum cumulative average of 1.50 is required to enter the third semester.\ Also, 4. \A minimum cumula- tive average of 1.80 is required to enter the fourth semester. 5. A minimum cumulative aver- age of 2.5 or better is recom- mended for students planning to matriculate or transfer to a four- year college. Students dismissed from the College for academic reasons may be eligible for readmission after a lapse of one semester. Class Attendance Vitally Important Students are expected to attend all classes in the course, in which they are enrolled, h'x- cessive unexcused absences from calss could lead to a disciplinary warning, disciplinary probation, and eventually dismissal from College. Experience has proved that pool attendance resulte in poor schol- ars. The NCCC Facult\, while willing to help sutdents in every possible manner is not required to assist students make up work missed through unnecessary ab- sences from classes. In other words, watch those \Cuts\! Board Chairman Well Satisfied With Enrollment Describing the NCCC fall en- rollment total as \a wonder- ful accomplishment,\ Mr. C. Arnold Dutton, Chairman of the College Board of Trustees today predicted \even grander pro- gress\ in the future. \An enrollment increase of over 150% is substantial proof that students - and their parents - accept the College as a true in- stitution of higher learning,\ he said. He noted that College officials are \keeping pace\ with student requirements by studying and evaluating additional career pro- gram curriculums for possible adoption \when the time is opportune.\ He cited what lie termed \the outstanding leadership\ of Dr. Ernest Notar as one of the prin- cipal reasons for the growth of the College. Mr. Dutton also praised the \high caliber\ of the NCCC Faculty and said, \Our students are indeed privileged and for- tunate to study with such excep- tional instructors.\ . .MR. C. ARNOLD DUTTON Parking Regulations In Effect Here Today Fines To Be Levied! NCCC parking regualtions, scheduled to become effective today, are expected to yield what College officials termed \abum- per crop\ of violators. Drivers, and cars, violating regulations will be tagged they said. Fines range from $l.OO to $5.00. Tickets are \rarely\ excused. Detailed regulations are posted on all student bulletin boards. Listed violations include, park- ing in restricted areas; improper parking in designated areas; parking on service roads or lawn; failure to observe traffic signs, and non-registration of motor vehicle. Other violations are, permit not affixed as instructed; speeding or reckless driving, and evading or attempt to evade pa>ment of park- ing fine. During the past semester the majority of violation tickets were issued for imporper parking. Im- properly placed parking permits ran a close second on the list of violations. \NCCC students,\ College of- ficials said, \may park in any area designated by white mark- ings, and in the large lot facing Jefferson Avenue immediately behind the main building.\ Students are not permitted to park in areas designated by gold markings. Repeated violations of parking regulations normally result in revocation of parking privileges, College officials said. The park- ing lot will be checked \several times daily\ and at unspecified times, they indicated.

Full House At First Dance Of Social Season NCCC students - freshmen and sophomores - hundreds strong, mixed, danced, drank gallons of soft drinks, and generally enjoy- ed themselves at a \Mixer Dance\ held here Friday even- ing. Sophomore men who came alone eyed Freshmen women - and mixed. Sophomore women did not come alone. In most cases they were escorted by upper classmen. The building reverberated as the music, keyed to modern-day youth desires, built to crescendos - repeatedly! And while staid faculty members questioned the word \dance\, the affair was, to quote a Freshman, \the great- est\. \Just a forerunner of events to come,\ said Mr. Donald G. Leonard, Dean of Students, who expressed \keen satisfaction\ with student conduct and parti- cipation. \Next on the social calendar,\ he said, \is our All-School Hal- loween Dance, programmed for Saturday, October 24.\ Tenta- tive plans call for a costume affair. NCCC Drama Club Meeting Is Planned Students interested in forming an active Drama Club for 1964- 65 will be welcomed at an \Interesting Meeting\ planned for 3 P.M. Monday, Sept. 28 in Room 206.

Mr. Hogue is currently teaching Public Speaking and Shakespeare courses at NCCC. Sophomores Yearn For 'Good Old Days' \It Will Never Be The Sane\ \Remember when there were just 343 of us?\ asked the heavy- set NCCC student as he sat sipping coffee in the NCCC cafe- teria. \We were the Pioneers.\ \Remember when Coach Som- mer threatened to accept girls on the basketball team if more of us didn't turn out for prac- tice. And remember, the dances? You really had room to dance then.\ \But now. . .\ \Remember when we had a loc- ker all to ourselves? And do you remember how easy it was to get a cuppa coffee here?\ \But now. . .\ \Remember when we knew everyone - and everyone knew knew us? Remember how we tried to educate the Faculty to our way of thinking? Weil, we tried.\ \But now. . .\ \Remember when wecouldwalk two abreast down the corridors, and how easy it was to find an unoccupied Library table? But now. . .\ \Remember how easy it was to find a parking slot, and rem- ember how infrequently parking tickets were issued? But n0w...\ \Yes those were the good old days,\ he continued. He paused, looked around the filled cafeteria, and added, \And remember how few female students we had? Awful, wasn't it? But now. ..\ He rapidly drained his coffee, reached for a jacket emblazoned, \I Am A Sophomore\ straigh- tened his tie, and headed for an incoming group of Freshmen wo- men, stating, \Yeh you can have the good old days. This is more like it.\ \A patriot,\ said Henry Clay, \is a man who regards the enemies of his country as his personal enemies; a partisan is a man who regards his personal enemies as the enemies of his country.\ SEPTEMBER 21, 1964 NIAGARA COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE ENTRICY HERALD 3
