U. of Waterloo Reduces Credits For Admission Eeginning in 1966, the Uni- versity of Waterloo will accept students with a minimum of eight grade 13 credits instead of the nine presently required. The change in admission re- quirements was announced fol- lowing a meeting of the senate of the university, The new admission require- ments are in answer to a re- quest from the Minister of Edu- cation that universities reduce the number of credits to com- ply with the recent recommen- dations of the Grade 13 study committee for fewer senior ma- triculation subjects. The new requirements do not affect the University of Waterloo standard of a 60 per cent average standing nor do they apply to students now in Grade 13 who will be entering the university this fall. "We are announcing the new admission standard now to assist students who are about to enter Grade 13 to select their courses, " said A. P. Gordon, University of Waterloo registrar. In the new requirements, each language course will count as two credits and each other course as one credit. A student applying for an arts course must have a mini- mum of English and another language plus four other credits A student applying for a sci- ence or engineering course must have a minimum of Eng- lish, Algebra, Geometry, Trigo- nometry, Physics, Chemistry, plus one other subject. The University of Waterloo will continue to review admis- sion requirements as the new Grade 13 curriculum is devel- oped, said Mr. Gordon.

For most of the cadets this was their first opportunity to fire the weapons. Practice on the ranges was continued on Sunday.

Throughout the shoot points were awarded to the ca- dets from the individual schools for proficiency and the Wing - ham Corps emerged with the highest aggregate and the tro- phy. The militia and cadets were quartered overnight in the per- manent buildings at the camp. The week -end exercise was planned to provide for closer liason between the cadets and the militia unit with which they are affiliated. On May 15 the militia regi- ment goes to Meaford for the week -end, where they will get firing practice on the howitzers. Wingham cadets are busily preparing for their annual in- spection which takes place at the high school next Tuesday evening.

After several years of this, the Koyukuks revolted in 1851, massacring Derzhavin and his entire garrison.
