CURRICULUM revisions for the three-term, three-course program going into effect next fall have just about been completed by the three divisions of the faculty, and final approval by the Executive Committee of the Faculty will probably have been given by the time this issue is out.

Undergraduate social rules are being reviewed by the Committee on Administration and the Committee on Student Residence, aided by a special student committee representing the Undergraduate Council and the Interdormitory Council. Any rule changes or new regulations will wait for next fall.
The Dartmouth Chess Club is presently engaged in a postal match with the Mendelov Chemical Institute of Moscow. The match was arranged by the International Union of Students, a Communist youth organization in Czechoslovakia.
