Lawn GPA
Remains 2.0

By CHRIS KOHAN

A minimum grade point
average of 2.0 for Lawn room
applicants was reinstated
yesterday by Vice President for
Student Affairs D. Alan
Williams.

Mr. Williams is also
requesting a re-examination of
the Lawn program's purpose
and selection criteria by the
University Committee on
Housing.

In a letter to Director of
Housing Ralph Main, who had
raised the average to 2.5 last
month, Mr. Williams said the
change was made "as a result
of the great confusion among
the student members of the
Lawn selection committee."

"In the interest of fairness
it seems best not to make an
important substantive change
in the program at this time of
the year, " Mr. Williams said.

"My decision is no
reflection on Mr. Main," he
continued,"he did what he
though was right for the
students."
