PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
To Our New Students:
On behalf of the faculty and administration, I'm
pleased to welcome you to Mansfield State College,
and to wish you well as you begin your study this
academic year.
It is important for you to recognize that you were
selected for admission because of your potential for
success; but it is certainly just as important for us who
have been at the College to remember that you chose
Mansfield. That combination of selection and desire
serves as the bedrock for individual success.
The Password, our official handbook of information
is one method by which the College tries to smooth
your transition into the College and the community.
It is not, however, intended to be a substitute for the
more personal and individual help which can come
from the human resources of Mansfield. You are en-
couraged to seek out this personal help; we stand ready
to aid you to the best of our ability.
Let me personally encourage you to become knowl-
edgeable about the social, educational and spiritual
resources of the College and the community of which
it is a part, so that they can be utilized in full measure.
Sincerely yours,
*£.
Lawrence Park

THE COLLEGE
In 1857, the Mansfield Classical Seminary opened with a registra-
tion of 105 students. Four months later, the original building burned
and the first South Hall was then completed in 1859.
In 1862, the Seminary was converted by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania into the Normal School for the Fifth District.
Student teaching began in 1871. In 1926, the Normal School was
authorized to confer the degree of Bachelor of Science in Elementary
and Secondary Education. A year later, the name of the institution was
changed to Mansfield State Teachers College.
Since the authorization of the College to grant the B.S. in Educa-
tion, Mansfield has expanded its curriculum to include such special
fields as Music Education, Home Economics Education, Library Sci-
ence, Public School Nursing, Art Education, and Special Education.
Indicating a broadened concept of professional preparation, the
Pennsylvania Legislature on January 8, I960 authorized the title Mans-
field State College. To better fulfill the broadened concept for profes-
sional preparation, Mansfield was given the right to offer a Liberal
Arts Program in January 1963. Graduate programs in Music Education,
Elementary Education, Mathematics, History, and English were also
added.
The present campus, consisting of 27 principal buildings attrac-
tively set in 150 acres, will continue to expand. In the process of being
completed is an addition to the Administration and Library Building,
new Student Center and new Gymnasium, which are scheduled for
completion before the end of 1970. An addition to the Science Center
is also under construction and will be completed in 1971. Scheduled to
be under construction soon will be a maintenance building, recreation
areas, roads, and parking lots; renovation of the Arts Building; altera-
tions and modernization of the Boiler plant. Future capital program
includes a Besearch and Learning Center; Fine Arts Center; dormi-
tories; second addition to the Science Center; alterations to Strauglm
Auditorium; and other projects.

RESIDENCE LIFE
Mansfield State College endorses Residence Hall living. The Pro-
fessional Personnel Staff working with student and faculty groups is
continually striving to create a program that will result in a living-
learning atmosphere in the residence halls.
Experience in residence hall living contrihutes to the students'
over-all social and emotional growth. Deviations from all-student resi-
dence policy may occur when clarified through the Office of Student
Affairs, depending on age of student, marital status, individual require-
ments or other extenuating circumstances.
All students who reside in campus housing facilities are expected
to continue in residence for the entire academic year unless they with-
draw from college, move to another community, or move to begin
student teaching or other contingencies. Specific residence hall regu-
lations applicable to individual halls will be available to each student
upon request. The enforcement of residence hall regulations has been
established through the respective men's and women's resident hall
councils.
All resident students are expected to participate in the campus
dining program. Exceptions to this policy must have the approval of
the Vice-President for Student Affairs.
Mansfield State College wishes to have residents representing all
creeds, races, and ethnic groups living in college resident halls. There-
fore, in compliance with the Pennsylvania Fair Education Practice Act,
all resident assignments are made without regard to race, religion, color
or national origin. Having accepted the Pennsylvania Fair Education
Act, we feel that a cross section of cultures provides a cosmopolitan
community. The College also complies with the Federal Civil Rights
Act, Title IV.

POLICY RELATIVE TO THE ILLEGAL POSSESSION
OR USE OF DRUGS
Mansfield State College recognizes the seriousness that the illegal
and indiscriminate use of drugs possess for the welfare of individuals
15
and society. "Drugs" include such things as heroin, amphetamines,
harhituates, hallucinogens, etc. To combat this, the College utilizes the
classroom, residence halls, health center, and the counseling center to
provide information on drugs and the potential effect on the behavior
and the health of the individual. Emphasis is placed on the role of
education and counseling in developing attitudes and behavior patterns
concerning drugs.
Under the Laws of Pennsylvania it is a felony to possess, sell, dis-
pense, or give away any narcotic drugs without authorization. It is a
misdemeanor to use such narcotics unless they have been authorized
by a licensed physician.
GAMBLING
Gambling is forbidden by the Laws of Pennsylvania.
SOLICITING
Students are not permitted to sell or advertise any commodity in
residence halls, off-campus homes, or on the college campus without
the written approval of the Vice President for Student Affairs. Food
and soft drinks may be delivered only to the main lobby in the resi-
dence halls. No deliveries are permitted after midnight. Salesmen, ped-
dlers, and solicitors are not permitted anywhere on the college campus
or college approved off-campus housing unless permission has been
obtained from the Vice President for Student Affairs.

STUDENT SERVICES
COLLEGE HEALTH SERVICES
(Doane Health Center)
The College Health Service operates in a modern fully equipped
facility which provides every convenience necessary for the health
needs of students, who are served by a physician and registered nurses.
Hospital care is provided at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hos-
pital in Wellsboro and the Blossburg State Hospital in Blossburg.
The services of the health center are extended to all students of
Mansfield State College. These services include a preventative health
program which consists of tuberculin testing administered to all seniors
to meet graduation requirements and to all personnel working with
the food services associated with the college. Influenza immunization
clinics are held in the fall in October and November. Allergy vaccine
is administered to students if it has been prescribed by their physician.
Members of the health staff work to furnish a thorough but
friendly and individual service to which a student may come for help
of any sort. You are urged to consult the Health Service at any time
for purposes of diagnosing suspected contagious diseases or other
illnesses. Since medical records and consultation are entirely confiden-
tial, there is no possibility of embarrassment to the student and conse-
quently no reason for avoiding diagnosis.
Students who are ill are encouraged to report to the Health
Center to be evaluated and treated by the nurses and the college phy-
sician, and where condition indicates, admission to the infirmary is
advocated. Medications and treatments are dispensed to the students
free or at a very minimal charge depending on the type of medication
prescribed.

Saturday and Sunday: The above hours apply if the Infirmary
is open.
There shall be no more than two visitors in one room at a time.
Stop at the nurse's desk to see if visiting is permissible.
The above visiting regulations are in line with general procedures
to insure that the nurses and doctor can carry out their many functions
and to insure the proper amount of rest for the patients.
STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN
Mansfield State College offers its full-time students, through the
Prudential Insurance Company of America, a comprehensive hospital,
surgical, and medical insurance program which provides twelve-month
protection against the cost of injury or illness. This policy covers the
student not only while at school, but during school holidays, summer
vacations and other times when the student is away from college.
Full-time students will be covered under the plan effective Sep-
tember 1 through the next August 31, provided they register, and pay
the $27.00 insurance fee appearing in the student bill, by registration
date.
Students who do not register until the start of the second semester
will be covered when the second semester begins through August
31st at an insurance fee of $16.00.
Coverage includes such areas as: hospital bills, surgical benefits,
diagnostic X-ray and laboratory examinations, office visits to physi-
cians, and numerous other coverage. For complete information ask
for a brochure from the office of any personnel dean.
COUNSELING AND TESTING SERVICES
The Counseling Center assists students in making decisions re-
lated to the immediate problems of college adjustment and to broader
problems of effective living. Students are invited to make an appoint-
ment for help in strengthening academic performance, developing
career plans, solving situational problems, or improving personal
relationships.
With a professional counselor, the student may explore freely
and in confidence any problems or feelings which are important to
him. He can receive help which enables him to assess his individual
make-up, to acquire increased self-understanding and sensitivity to
others, and to grow in the direction of his choice.
The college testing and counseling center is open Monday
21
through Friday from 8:30 to 4:30 p. m. The services of the center
are available free of charge to all students enrolled at the college.
Students are encouraged to avail themselves of these services whatever
the nature or seriousness of the problem.
Appointments may be made by calling Extension 208 or by coming
to Room 106 of South Hall. A student may designate which counselor
he wishes to see; if there is no preference, he will be assigned the
earliest available time. The student will not be asked to give any
details concerning his reason for requesting an interview.
THE COUNSELING INTERVIEW
The interview takes place in a private office and may last as long
as one hour. Sometimes interviews are merely for the purpose of gain-
ing information, in which case only one meeting is necessary. Often,
however, the student and the counselor agree that further sessions may
be helpful. Counseling usually begins with the counselor encouraging
the student to talk freely about his concerns. The Counselor listens,
tries to understand, attempts to clarify, and helps the student become
objective about himself and make decisions with which he will be
satisfied. Counseling is not simply a matter of receiving advice; it is
a process of thinking through a situation with the professional help
of another person.
Again, no information disclosed in a counseling interview is given
to anyone without the permission of the student.
TESTING
Counseling may be supplemented by means of tests which provide
the student with more information about his interests, academic abili-
ties, personal characteristics, study skills, and special aptitudes.
EDUCATIONAL ADJUSTMENT
The abrupt change from high school to the demand of college
classwork is sometimes difficult to make. Counseling can help some
students improve study methods and motivation, participate more ef-
fectively in class discussion, increase confidence and skill in taking
tests, and assure themselves the necessary environment and physical
health for efficient performance.
22
PERSONAL COUNSELING
Sometimes students find that personal concerns interfere with
their academic work or in other ways make college life unsatisfying.
Indications of this may include homesickness, difficulty in sleeping,
inability to concentrate on lectures or tests, depressed feelings, lack of
clear purpose, discomfort in social situations, or conflicts with others.
Counseling has helped individuals with problems such as those involv-
ing military service, marriage, religion, finances, living conditions, rela-
tionships with family or friends, or just a need for self-understanding
and sense of direction. These are the typical problems of college life
and early adulthood. The student should recognize that it is very
normal for him to be concerned about them and to seek help in work-
ing them out.
The Vice-President for Student Affairs is available upon appoint-
ment to consult with students on any problem relating to student
welfare.
CONFIDENTIALITY OF STUDENT RECORDS
Mansfield State College recognizes that higher education's cen-
tral role is to provide learning experiences that will afford opportuni-
ties for intellectual and personal growth of the student as well as
opportunities for research, and acknowledges that the student's educa-
tion and development is better served when confidential information
about him is not made available to persons other than those who have a
legitimate responsibility for his personal welfare, and recognizes that
the maintenance of student records is sound educational practice pro-
vided that the purposes of such record keeping are to assist in the
development of the student or to provide research opportunities.
1. As the custodian of student records, Mansfield State College as-
sumes an implicit and justifiable trust. This trust involves a recog-
nition that student records, both academic and personal, are con-
fidential to the student and the institution. Accordingly, the
College should exercise extreme care and concern in recording
and disseminating information about students; and student rec-
ords should be released by the Vice President for Student
Affairs only to appropriate college authorities within the insti-
tution, except where the student or graduate has given his
formal consent or where the safety of the student and/or prop-
erty is endangered. In instances where demands for informa-
tion as to a student's personal record, his beliefs, or associa-
23
tions challenge the principle of confidentiality, the College be-
lieves that the educational institution is obligated to prepare
every legal basis for resistance.
2. The College recognizes and supports the need for educational
institutions to make available information about students for
research purposes. In releasing original data for research the
College will take due care to protect the identity of the student.
Whenever the limits of confidentiality are in question the Col-
lege should obtain the formal consent of the student prior to
using information about him for research purposes. Before
submitting information from student records to the researcher
the College should be assured that the research agency will fol-
low acceptable standards of confidentiality.
3. It is further urged that if the College maintains membership
lists for research or intra-institutional purposes, it should adopt
the concept of confidentiality, based on the principles of free-
dom of association and the rights of privacy, as stated in the
NASPA resolution and resist to the fullest any demand for
such information. If the College is not willing to exercise legal,
as well as ethical, resistance to outside disclosures or to the
subpoena process, then it is strongly recommended that no rec-
ords indicating political beliefs or actions be maintained. The
following guides are meant to assure the confidentiality of
student records:
I. The Student Placement Bureau is operated to fulfill the fol-
lowing purposes:
A. Assemble and keep a permanent record of the student's
probable and actual employment potential and such other
information as the student may wish to supply. This record
will be distributed to prospective employers upon their request
or by the direction of the student.
B. Assist students in securing positions of employment.
C. Assist employers in securing qualified people to fill existing
vacancies.
D. Assist College authorities in the gathering of information
from graduates and employers relative to the strengths and the
weaknesses of the College as part of the follow-up program.
II. The Student's Placement Folder will contain:
A. A personal data sheet.
24
B. Three or more faculty recommendations.
C. An outside reference, one not affiliated with the College.
D. Recommendations for student teaching or other work ex-
perience gained as a part of the candidate's academic program.
E. An unofficial transcript of the student's academic record.
1. Disciplinary records are for intramural use and as such should
not be made available to persons outside the institution except
on formal request of the student involved. Disciplinary records
should not be forwarded on transcripts unless the disciplinary
action relates to the student's eligibility for re-enrollment into
the College. 1 Intra-institutional use should be restricted to the
professional student personnel administrator, who may inter-
pret the meaning of notations to other officials in the institution
when necessary to the discharge of their official duties.
2. Information from student records should not be sent to pros-
pective employers in the private or the public sector or other
educational institutions without the formal consent of the stu-
dent involved. Written reports for prospective employers and
educational institutions should be made only by a professional
staff member, and information of a derogatory nature should be
handled with extreme care. (See Student Placement Bureau,
Item 1, above.)
3. The College has the responsibility to be responsive to bona fide
governmental inquiries when national security or the safety
of individuals is at issue. However, when requests of this na-
ture are received and the student's consent cannot be obtained,
the College should release only the information necessary to
fulfill its legal obligation.
4. Information relative to the academic achievement of students
should be released to College intramural committees which
are considering students for honors, awards, or scholarships.
5. Certain information which appears in student directories and
similar publications is usually available to the general public.
Accordingly, such information may be released without formal
consent of the student concerned.
i "Transcripts of academic records should contain only information about academic
status" is to be interpreted to permit the recording of any institutional action
which affects a student's eligibility to reregister at the College (e. g., suspension
or expulsion for academic or disciplinary reasons).
25
6. The College should make a periodic evaluation of information
placed in student personnel records and only information re-
lated to a specific purpose of the College should be collected
and maintained. A time limit of 5 years is specified for the
maintenance of records beyond a student's graduation or after
a non-graduate withdraws from the College. In the interest of
research, provisions may be made for the organization and
classification of information in records that are to be destroyed.
7. Where a request for confidential information concerning a
student has been made and the student has formally consented
to the release of that information, the college is obligated to
respond to the inquiring agency. It is assumed that the College
will respond accurately to such requests, and in a manner
which is in keeping with the statements of this document.
PLACEMENT SERVICES
The Placement and Career Planning Division is maintained to
advise students on career development and specifically to help students
and alumni plan further academic work or secure professional posi-
tions. Assistance is provided so that the individual may correctly evalu-
ate himself, assess employment opportunities, and select a vocational
area that can lead to personal growth and satisfaction.
CAREER ADVISING
Counseling is provided to help graduating seniors and alumni to
(1) analyze their aptitudes, interests, educational preparation, short
and long-range goals; (2) obtain information concerning appropriate
areas of occupation; (3) investigate specific job opportunities; (4) pre-
pare themselves to conduct job campaigns and to present themselves
effectively as candidates; (5) evaluate job offers; and (6) choose the
opportunity that will best satisfy their particular criteria. Throughout
this process, the director of placement establishes and maintains con-
tact with potential employers in the areas of education, government,
business and industry; represents the College and its students in rela-
tions with employing organizations; and maintains contact with region-
al and national placement organizations.
PLACEMENT SERVICES
In addition to career planning, available assistance includes:
1. The development and permanent maintenance of cumulative
26
professional credentials for each registrant, which are sent to
prospective employers at the student's request.
2. Information on certification and examination requirements.
3. Posting notices of position vacancies.
4. Scheduling of on-campus interviews with professional re-
cruiters from many other states.
An occupational library is maintained by the Placement Division.
Students may examine information pertaining to careers in business,
industrial, or educational settings during regularly scheduled hours.
For those students anticipating study toward an advanced degree,
general information regarding programs and admission requirements
of graduate schools is available. Also, information pertaining to as-
sistantships, fellowships, and scholarships will be posted periodically
in the occupational library, Room 209, South Hall.
LIBRARY REGULATIONS
Materials circulating for two weeks include: books, pamphlets,
pictures, and units. Non-circulating materials include: college catalogs,
microforms, periodicals, reference books, and reserve books. Some
reserve books may be charged out a half hour before the library closes
but must be returned during the first half hour of service when the
library is next open.
OVERDUES
The fine for overdue reserve books is 25c per hour.
All overdue two-week books, pamphlets, pictures, and units carry
fines of 10c per day.
All students failing to return library materials or pay fines by the
end of the exam period each semester are delayed in registration the
following semester until they have cleared their library obligations.
Graduating seniors and students who have withdrawn can not receive
transcripts until they have cleared their library obligations.

STUDENT FINANCIAL AID
As a state college, Mansfield offers higher education at a cost con-
siderably below that of private and parochial colleges. For the same
reason, financial assistance — both as to the number of grants made and
the amounts awarded — is quite limited as compared with many col-
leges which are heavily endowed. While remaining committed to
offering financial aid to able students who can show evidence of finan-
cial need, Mansfield State College must necessarily recognize that the
financial costs of acquiring a higher education remain, at this time,
the obligation of the student and his family.
Matriculation at Mansfield State College is for a semester; the
College, therefore, expects each entering student to be able to meet
the expenses of the semester without the expectation of financial as-
sistance unless such aid has been previously arranged and confirmed.
The following points are emphasized:
( 1 ) A new student (prospective Freshman or transfer) should not
file application for aid before his admission has been con-
firmed by the Director of Admissions and the Advance Regis-
tration Deposit has been paid to the College and acknowl-
edged. Inquiries should then be made to the Office of Student
Financial Aid, Mansfield State College.
(2) Any student requesting financial aid must have filed the
parents confidential statement related to his personal and
family finances with the College Scholarship Service, Prince-
ton, New Jersey. That agency will then advise the college
of its objective analysis as to the student's (or student's fam-
ily) ability to finance his own education at Mansfield State
College. The Student Aid Office utilizes this information
when considering applications for all forms of student aid.
Responsibility for filing the confidential statement rests with
the student; help may be secured from high school principals
and guidance counselors. The C. S. S. information sheet is
NOT an application for aid.
28
OFF-CAMPUS EMPLOYMENT
The College wishes to impress prospective students that the loca-
tion of Mansfield State College in a rural, non-industrialized region of
the state greatly reduces the opportunities for outside part-time em-
ployment. Further, with increased emphasis being placed on scholastic
attainment at this College, the number of hours in which a student
may engage in employment has tended to drop sharply in recent years.
The acquisition of off-campus employment is the responsibility of the
individual student although the Financial Aid Office may be able to
provide some limited job vacancy information. There has, however,
been made available to qualified applicants, a small amount of part-
time off-campus State and Federal Works Study Program employment.
Additional information may be obtained in the Office of the Director
of Student Financial Aid.
PART-TIME CAMPUS EMPLOYMENT
Part-time student employment at the College is available in the
dining hall, library, dormitories, grounds and buildings, college union
facilities, and offices. Such employment is normally awarded to stu-
dents who have demonstrated ability to do satisfactory academic work
and shown evidence of financial need. These positions are normally
filled by upperclassmen, but a limited number of positions are open to
freshmen. Requests for student employment are made after formal
acceptance and payment of the Advance Registration Deposit. Appli-
cations are available from and submitted to the Office of Student
Financial Aid.
Part-time State and Federal Works Study Program employment
is available at the college. For details see the Director of Student
Financial Aid.
SCHOLARSHIPS
The following scholarships are awarded by various sponsors in
cooperation with Mansfield State College. Applications are available
from the office of Student Financial Aid, South Hall.
H. W. COLEGROVE SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS. Annual awards
of $100 each to two deserving young women residents of Tioga County,
Pennsylvania, are made for the purpose of aiding the recipients on
defraying college expenses. These scholarships are not customarily
available to new students.
29
THEODORE PRESSER FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP
GRANT. The College receives annually a grant of $400 for financing
grants to outstanding junior or senior students majoring in Music Edu-
cation. Grants are awarded by the Music Department with the ap-
proval of the President of the College. Applications for these grants
should be made to the Chairman of the Music Education Department.
Grants are made for undergraduate work for the forthcoming academic
year.
PENNSYLVANIA STATE SCHOLARSHIP. In 1965, the Penn-
sylvania State Legislature appropriated monies to be granted in the
form of scholarships. Although the primary purpose of the program
was to assist capable high school seniors to gain financial aid for col-
lege, some aid was made available to those presently enrolled in col-
lege. Awards are made on the basis of financial need and academic
performance.
More detailed information can be obtained from the Office of
Student Financial Aid.
FEDERAL GRANTS. Beginning the 1st semester 1966-67, grants
of up to $750.00 will be available as a result of the Higher Education
Act of 1965. These awards known as Federal Educational Opportunity
Grants, will be distributed to students who are in good academic stand-
ing and have demonstrated financial need.
More detailed information can be obtained from the Office of
Student Financial Aid.
HANNAH KENT SCHOFF MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP. The
Pennsylvania Congress of Parents and Teachers each year in April
awards two four-year scholarships of $150 per year to a worthy Penn-
sylvania student. The student is selected by the Student Aid Commit-
tee on the basis of scholarship, personality, and financial need. Appli-
cations may be secured from, and returned to, the Office of Student
Financial Aid. Applications must be received before March 1.
LOANS
NATIONAL DEFENSE STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM. The Na-
tional Defense Act of 1958, as amended, makes available to full-time
students showing evidence of financial need and maintaining good
academic standing, loans for college expenses.
Evidence of need will normally be on a yearly basis as evaluated
by the College Scholarship Service. Currently the College makes a
30
maximum grant of $400 per semester although the maximum provided
by federal legislation is $1,000 per year and $5,000 during the borrow-
er's enrollment. A portion of the College's N. D. E. A. Loan Fund is
reserved for entering Freshmen. These awards are made on the basis
of financial need and academic promise as indicated by the SAT scores
of the College Board Exams.
Applications for N. D. E. A. loans may be received from, and
returned to, the Office of Student Financial Aid. Application should
not be made before notice of acceptance has been received and the
Advance Registration Deposit paid to the College.
STATE HIGHER EDUCATION LOANS
Most states have state agencies which guarantee a college stu-
dent's loan with a banking institute. All Pennsylvania residents are
eligible, including freshmen, to apply for a state higher education loan.
Pennsylvania grants $1,000 per academic year (as determined by
semester hours completed). Loan applications are available from
cooperating banks in the student's home area or directly from the
Pennsylvania Higher Education Agency, Education Building, Harris-
burg, Pennsylvania (17126). New York residents are eligible upon
acceptance by this college and thereafter by maintaining a 2.0 cumu-
lative average.
Grants of $750, $1,000, $1,250 and $1,500 are awarded for the
Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior years respectively. Qualifi-
cation is governed by class standing as determined by semester hours
completed, not by semesters of attendance. Applications are available
from cooperating banks in the student's home or directly from New
York Higher Education Assistance Cooperation, 111 Washington
Avenue, Albany, New York (12224). The New Jersey plan is similar
to the New York and Pennsylvania plans: applications may be secured
from the lending institution or directly from the New Jersey Higher
Education Assistance Authority, 225 West State Street, Trenton 25,
New Jersey.
The following procedure has been established for processing
higher education loans at Mansfield State College:
All copies of the application should be submitted to the Office
of Student Financial Aid, South Hall, Mansfield State College.
The Office of Student Financial Aid will certify your loan appli-
cation, attach all necessary supporting documents, and mail your loan
request to the proper agency. Notification as to award or denial will
be received directly from the respective state agency.
31
Application for a state higher education loan should be made as
soon as the student has accumulated sufficient credits to qualify for
the higher class standing. Students are NOT to wait until the opening
of the new school year.
BOOKSTORE
The Campus Bookstore is operated by College Student Services.
Any profit accrues to College Student Services for the furtherance of
student life. The store is open from 8:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m., Monday
through Friday. During registration week the store will be open special
hours as posted to aid students in purchasing textbooks, toilet supplies,
clothes, etc.
THE MAIN BULLETIN BOARD
The main bulletin board is located in front of the entrance to the
library. It contains a list of events for each day as well as important
announcements.
All announcements which are to be placed on the main bulletin
board should be sent to the Office of the Vice President for Student
Affairs where they will be picked up by the Student Manager of the
bulletin board or placed in the hands of the student manager prior
to 4 p. m. before the day of posting.
Due to lack of space, oversize (over 12" x 12") posters may en-
counter difficulty in being placed in this area.
Bulletin boards are also maintained for student use in the College
Union and in Manser Hall.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITIES FEE
An activity fee of $30 per semester, payable at time of registration,
is required of all regularly enrolled students. This money is distributed
by the budget committee to support the many student activities on
campus.
In order for an activity or organization to qualify for this type of
support it must be open to all students, or offer free educational, athletic
or entertaining activities to all students.
MEMORIAL HALL — THE COLLEGE UNION
September 1970 is the "target" date for the opening of The College
Union. The building contains recreation areas, lounge areas, conference
and project rooms and office facilities.
It is anticipated that the "Union" will become the focal point of the
campus activities program. A temporary "Union Board" has been or-
ganized. It consists of students and faculty who are interested in the
development of an improved "all campus" activities program. As the
Union becomes better established, a permanent Board will provide the
leadership for the development of the College Union.
THE HUT
The Hut is, in effect, an extension of the College Union and serves
as a snack bar and casual gathering place for all members of the college
community. It serves breakfast, complete lunches, and short order items
at all times.
35
ART ACQUISITION PROGRAM
An Art Acquisition Program has been in existence at Mansfield
for the past ten years, the purpose being for the acquiring of significant
original works of Art and the development of a worthwhile Art Collec-
tion for the College. Funds are allocated yearly by the Student Govern-
ment Association and is under the direction of a Student-Faculty Com-
mittee. The collection now includes about ninety works; oil paintings,
watercolors, intaglios, etchings, woodcuts, lithographs, sculpture and
ceramics. Most of the paintings are displayed in the student and faculty
dining rooms of Manser Hall.
ART EXHIBITION SERIES
With the completion of the Library-Administration Building in
September, 1960, a monthly art exhibition series was inaugurated on
the Mansfield campus for the cultural and esthetic development of the
student body as well as for the community. Drawings, prints, water-
color, and oil paintings and sculptural works have been exhibited. At
least four exhibits per year are secured from the New York City Gal-
leries such as Babcock, Associated American Artists, Grand Central
Moderns, ACA and Bodley. Exhibits have also been on loan from the
Butler Institute of Art, Youngstown, Ohio and the Living Arts Founda-
tion, New York City. The program is under the supervision of the Art
Department and funds for its operation are allocated by the Student
Government Association. In conjunction with the Fine Arts Festival,
a guest artist visits the campus, giving lectures to both assembly groups
and informal groups. The artist's work is also on display at that time
as part of the exhibition series. Artists participating in this program
have been Sol Wilson, Richard Florsheim, Ralph Delia Volpe, Margit
Beck, Everett Sturgeon, John Fell, and Klaus Ihlenfeld. Works by
Lamar Dodd, Stanley Hayter, Sabina Teichman, and Anne Brigadier
have also been exhibited at Mansfield.

STUDENT GOVERNANCE AND
COLLEGE JUDICIAL SYSTEM
STUDENT GOVERNANCE AND COLLEGE JUDICIAL SYSTEM
Greater student participation in direction of their own affairs has
been one of the most important developments recently at Mansfield
State College. Greater student participation means that each student
assumes more responsibility for his proper action, conduct and thinking
which accompanies the privilege of directing their own affairs. The
broad basis for the student government program at Mansfield State
College is based on the Student Government Association. All Mansfield
students are automatically members of the Student Government Asso-
ciation. Monthly meetings are held for airing problems and for voting
on major issues. During the monthly meetings, hearings and reports
received by action of the Student Council are reported to the Student
Government Association.
Through the Student Government Association a Student Council
is elected to represent the Student Government Association at all col-
lege affairs. This organization meets on a bimonthly arrangement and
conducts the normal business for the Student Government Association.
It has a representation of a president, vice-president, treasurer, secre-
tary, adviser and five delegates at large.

MANSFIELD STATE COLLEGE
JUDICIAL SYSTEM
Preface
These are times of student challenge in colleges and universities
across the nation. More and more of today's students are pressing for
greater freedom to direct their own lives on and off campus, to shape
college and university policy and to engage themselves in the critical
affairs of society. These desires are pursued with vigor and a variety
of tactics, promising Mansfield State College much spirited disagree-
ment and conflict in the foreseeable future. Whether one supports or
opposes these student goals, it seems clear that the sensible resolution
of disagreement rests heavily on the ground rules governing college
and student interaction being as full, clear, persuasive and equitable
as possible.
The following is suggested as a rationale for the basis of a position
on responsible student freedom and maturity in an educational or
academic community.
The College's educational purposes make necessary, not merely
permissible, its concern with the quality of student conduct and. extra-
curricular life. Even a narrow view of education must concede that a
student's activities outside the classroom directly affect his academic
capacities and learning, and that the intellectual tone of a campus is
set by the character of extracurricular life. If one views education more
broadly, then it must involve the goal of developing the whole person
and not just his intellect and training skills. The College thus pursues
two broad aims for its students: sound intellectual and academic train-
ing and the development of mature, ethical and responsible persons
sensitive to the humanity of others.
The College can best implement its proper concern for the devel-
opment of the whole person by adherence to the principle of responsi-
ble student freedom: each student should have a high degree of per-
sonal freedom, coupled with an acceptance of full responsibility for
his individual actions and their consequences. It is the Committee's
conviction that self-development proceeds from the ability to make
real choices, and that maturity grows from the intelligent use of free-
dom. This means, for example, that rules of conduct, sanctions and the
exercise of police power should be kept to a minimum. It also means
the shared assumption that each member of the College community
will respect the right and integrity of others.
42
STUDENT CONDUCT — Judicial Structure
The Judiciary System
The following system of hearing boards is instituted to deal with
the stated proscriptions which adversely affect the College's educa-
tional interests.
1. Men's-Women's Hearing Board ( MWHB )
The Men's-Women's Hearing Board will be composed as follows:
2 male dormitory members, 2 male off-campus members, 1 male day
member; 4 female dormitory members, 2 female day members as
voting members. There shall be a non-voting faculty member acting
exclusively as adviser to the MWHB. The student members shall be
elected by their peers; 1 the faculty member shall be appointed by
the President of the Faculty Assembly to serve a three-year term.

STUDENT CONDUCT — Rationale for Discipline
The educational goals of the College include a concern for non-
academic student conduct. This, we believe, can best be implemented
by promoting responsible student freedom and maturity and by not
confusing the College's disciplinary authority with civil law enforce-
ment. Thus, College discipline should be limited to instances of student
misconduct which adversely affect the College community's pursuit of
its educational purposes; namely, ( 1 ) the opportunity of all members
1 All student members of the MWHB shall be selected by means of an election
held by the Student Council. To be eligible a student shall have completed LB
credit hours of academic work at Mansfield State College. Petitions may he-
secured from the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.
43
of the College community to attain their educational goals, (2) the
generation and maintenance of an intellectual and educational atmo-
sphere throughout the College community, ( 3 ) the protection of health,
safety, welfare and property of all members of the College community
and of the College itself. Further, we believe that the College should
make its sanctioning powers over students serve its educational goals
for students, rather than promoting general police functions well
represented in general law.
Specific proscriptions or student conduct which adversely affects
distinct College interests or educational purposes are the following:
(1) Dishonesty, such as cheating, plagiarism, or knowingly furnish
false information to the College.
(2) Forgery, alteration, or use of College documents, records, or in-
struments of identification with intent to defraud.
(3) Intentional obstruction or disruption of teaching, research, ad-
ministration, disciplinary proceedings or other College activities,
including public functions and other authorized activities on
College premises.
(4) Physical abuse of any person on College premises or at College-
sponsored or College-supervised functions or conduct which
threatens or endangers the health or safety of any such person.
(5) Theft from or damage to College premises or theft of or damage
to property of a member of the College community on College
premises.
(6) Failure to comply with directions of College officials acting in
performance of their prescribed duty.
( 7 ) Violation of published College Regulations, including regulations
relating to entry and use of College facilities, and any other
regulations which may from time to time be enacted.
(8) Repeated violation of published rules governing College resi-
dence halls.
( 9 ) Violation of civil law on College premises or in College residence
halls in a way that adversely affects the College community's
pursuit of its proper educational purposes, as enumerated above.
(10) Violation of published rules of the Traffic Code.
STUDENT CONDUCT — Sanctions Defined
A preliminary observation should be made. Even where violation
of a College rule is established, sanctions need not in every case be
44
imposed. Matters of extenuation should always be taken into account,
along with all circumstances, in determining sanctions. No sanctions
should be imposed more serious than are clearly appropriate in the
circumstances.
Men's and Women's and College-Wide Appeals Boards:
Sanctions:
(1) Admonition. An oral statement to the student offender that he
has violated College rules.
( 2 ) Censure. Written reprimand for violation of specified regulation,
including the possibility of more severe disciplinary sanction in
the event of conviction for the violation of any College regulation
within a period of time stated in the letter of reprimand.
( 3 ) Disciplinary Probation. Exclusion from participation in privileges
or extracurricular College activities as set forth in the notice of
disciplinary probation for a specified period of time.
(4) Restitution. Reimbursement for damage to or misappropriation
of property. Reimbursement may take the form of appropriate
service to repair or otherwise compensate for damages.
(5) Suspension. Exclusion from classes and other privileges or activi-
ties as set forth in the notice of suspension for a definite period of
time. The student may re-enroll in the College at the termination
of his period of suspension without readmission.
(6) Dismissal. Termination of student status for an indefinite period.
The conditions of readmission, if any is permitted, shall be stated
in the order of dismissal.
Academic Integrity Board:
Sanctions for dishonesty in academic work may range from Ad-
monition to Dismissal from the College.
STUDENT CONDUCT — Judicial Proceedings
The goal of judicial proceedings should be to develop procedural
minima assuring fairness, rather than a formal replication of what
obtains in civil society. When a student is brought before a hearing
committee, the following requirements of procedural due process shall
be observed.
( 1 ) No member of a hearing committee who is otherwise interested
in the particular case shall sit in judgment during the proceeding.
45
(2) The student shall be informed in writing of the reasons for the
proposed disciplinary action with particularity, and in sufficient
time, to insure opportunity to prepare for the hearing.
(3) The student appearing before a College hearing board shall have
the right to be assisted in his defense by an adviser of his choice.
(4) The burden of proof shall rest upon the officials bringing the
charge.
(5) The student shall be given the opportunity to testify and to pre-
sent evidence and witnesses. He shall have an opportunity to hear
and question adverse witnesses. In no case shall the committee
consider statements against him unless he has been advised of
their content and of the names of those who made them, and
unless he has been given an opportunity to rebut unfavorable
inferences which might otherwise be drawn.
(6) All matters upon which the decision may be based must be in-
troduced into evidence at the proceeding before the hearing com-
mittee. The decision shall be based solely upon such matters.
Improperly acquired evidence shall not be admitted. The hearing
board involved shall decide whether evidence has been properly
acquired.
( 7 ) A full report, or transcript, or tape recording of the hearing shall
be filed with the Vice-President for Student Affairs as confidential
material and shall be periodically disposed of.
( 8 ) The decision of the hearing committee shall be final, subject only
to the student's right of appeal to the College- Wide Appeals
Board, or the President of the College.
STUDENT CONDUCT — Initiation of Judicial Proceedings
Any academic or administrative official of the College, any member
of the faculty, or any student of the College may file charge against any
student of the college for violation of all-College proscriptions. (See
outlined Proscriptions.) The charges shall be filed with the Office of
the Vice President for Student Affairs who shall recommend that the
charges be disposed of informally or disciplinary proceedings be ini-
tiated. If all parties involved are not satisfied with informal resolution,
the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs shall send to the
student charged a copy of the charge together with notice of applicable
procedures that the student should be aware of. A copy of the charges
shall be sent to the Chairman of the appropriate hearing board. The
46
Chairman of the hearing board will set the time for the proceedings. In
setting the time for the hearing the Chairman should consider whether
the charged student has had sufficient time to prepare for the hearing.
Pending action on the charges, the status of the student or his right
to be present on the campus and to attend classes shall not be altered.
Exceptionally, for reasons relating only to the demonstrated danger to
the safety and well-being of the charged student, or for reasons relat-
ing only to the demonstrated danger to the safety and well-being of
students, faculty, or College property, the charged student may be
advised by the Vice President for Student Affairs, pending considera-
tion of the case, that his removal from Campus would be in his own
best interest and/or the best interests of the College community. Such
advice shall be made before witnesses and the charged student's par-
ents shall be informed of the advice given.
When a student is charged with misconduct regarding cheating as
outlined in the stated proscriptions, the faculty member involved shall
have the option of disposing of the charge informally or of initiating
Academic Integrity Board proceedings. The procedure for the latter
shall be as follows: the charges shall be filed with the Vice President
for Student Affairs and the Vice President for Academic Affairs by
the faculty member concerned after consulting with his department
chairman. Both the faculty member and the department chairman shall
appear at the hearing and may make recommendations, but they shall
have no vote.
STUDENT CONDUCT— Appeals
A student found guilty of misconduct by either the MWHB, or
the AIB may file an appeal from the decision of the hearing board
within twenty-four hours to the Chairman of the College-wide Appeals
Board.
The appeal shall be limited to a review of the full report of the
hearing board for the purpose of determining whether the board acted
fairly in light of the charges and evidence presented at the hearing.
The College-wide Appeals Board may accept the report without modi-
fication, may accept the report subject to a specified reduction in the
sanction imposed, or dismiss one or more of the charges entirely.
The right to appeal to the President of the College is stated under
the heading "Judicial Proceedings."
Further, a student may petition the original hearing board for a
new hearing upon discovery of new evidence.

confronted by his accusers. In traffic violation cases, the party com-
plained of shall only have this right, when the testimony of the

President, or the appropriate administrative officer, and the violation
does not pose any immediate threat of injury to person or property,
such officer shall make reasonable effort to learn the cause of the con-
duct in question and to persuade those engaged therein to cease and
desist and to resort to reasonable and lawful methods for the resolution
of any issues which may be presented. In doing so, such officer shall
warn such persons of the consequences of persistence in the prohibited
60
conduct, with consequences and they include ejection from any prem-
ises of the institution where their continued presence and conduct is
in violation of these rules.

such warning and in other cases of wilful violation of these rules, the
President or the appropriate administrative officer shall cause the ejec-
tion of the violator from any premises which he occupies in violation
of these rules and shall initiate disciplinary action as hereinbefore
provided.
The President or the appropriate administrative officer may apply
to the public authorities for any aid which he deems necessary in caus-
ing the ejection of any violator of these rules and he may request the

priate jurisdiction for an injunction to restrain the violation or threat-
ened violation of these rules.

Maintain Public Order, Mansfield State College" and may be cited as
"Public Order Act, M. S. C."
Title II
Sec. 1. Principles.
(a) Mansfield State College, as a community of scholars, affirms,
supports, and cherishes the concepts of freedom of thought,
speech and lawful assembly. Freedom to experiment, to
present and to examine alternative data and theories; the
freedom to hear, to express and to debate various views; and
the freedom to voice criticism of existing practices and values
61
are fundamental rights which must be upheld and practiced
by the College in a free society.
( b ) Recognizing that the education processes can include demon-
stration and other forms of collected expression, the College
affirms the right of individuals and groups to assemble and to
demonstrate on campus within the limits of the public order
act. The College also affirms the right of others to pursue
their normal activities within the College and to be pro-
tected from physical injury or property damage.
( c ) The College should be vigilant to insure the continuing open-
ness and effectiveness of channels of communication among
members of the College on questions of common interest. To
further this purpose, a Committee on Open Expression is
hereby established as a standing committee by the Office of
the President. The Committee on Open Expression has as
its major tasks, monitoring the communication processes rec-
ommending policies and procedures for improvement of all
channels of communication, advising administrative officers
where appropriate, participating in evaluation and resolution
of conflicts that may arise from incidents or disturbances on
campus.
Sec. 2. Committee on Open Expression.
(a) The Committee on Open Expression consists of twelve mem-
bers: five students, four faculty members, one non-instruc-
tional staff member and two representatives of the adminis-
tration. Administrative officers as defined in Sec. 8 of Title I,
may not be members of the Committee on Open Expression.
( b ) Members of the Committee are appointed by the President in
the following manner:
a) student members shall be nominated from undergraduate
and graduate students by a means arrived at by legally rec-
ognized representative student groups. If the students are
unable to agree upon such a procedure, and instead propose
several different procedures, the President shall make an
interim choice between the student proposals. Students se-
lected by an interim process shall serve only until their peers
have established a permanent selection process.
b) faculty members shall be nominated by the Faculty Ad-
visory Council; the administration members shall be nomi-
62
nated by the President; the non-instructional staff member
shall be nominated by the Non-Instructional Council.
c) each member shall be selected for one year. Any indi-
vidual may not serve for more than two consecutive terms.
d) the chairman of the Committee shall be selected by and
from the members of the Committee on Open Expression.
Sec. 3. Jurisdiction. The Committee shall have competence to con-
sider all issues and controversies involving open expression under the
public order act. The Committee functions include, but are not limited
to, the following:
(a) Reviewing administrative decisions regarding invocation of
the public order act taken with prior Committee consultation.
(b) Recommending to the Board of Trustees and other legally
recognized bodies any proposals to amend or repeal the
public order act. The affirmative vote of seven members is
required to make such recommendation.
( c ) Advising administrative officials with responsibilities affecting
freedom of expression and communication, including par-
ticularly the use of College facilities for meetings and the
utilization of force to terminate a demonstration.
(d) Mediating where possible in situations that threaten to give
rise to incidents that may possibly violate the public order
act.
(e) Evaluating and characterizing incidents that have occurred
both to determine whether the conduct considered as a
whole, of any group, has violated the public order act, and
to attempt to discover or remedy any intentional and inad-
vertent failures in communications that may have caused or
contributed to the incident. The Committee will not act as a
disciplinary body to try charges against individual persons
and impose punishment, however, its interpretation of the
public order act may be probative in any disciplinary pro-
ceedings that may ensue.
(f) Adopting procedures and rules for the functioning of the
Committee, varied to suit the several functions, consistent
with the public order act.
63
Sec. 4. Procedures.
1. Seven members of a Committee constitute a quorum. No mem-
ber may participate in the consideration or decision of an issue
in which he is or may become involved.
2. The Committee can authorize subcommittees, selected from its
own members, to act for the Committee in any matter except
the issuance of opinions interpreting the public order act, or
the making of a recommendation to amend or repeal the public
order act.

Section V
ACADEMIC POLICIES
SCHOLASTIC STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS
Academic Counsel
Students are urged to make the fullest use possible of the academic
counselling available to them through their respective advisors, depart-
mental chairmen, instructors and deans. Faculty are expected to post
and keep regular office hours for this purpose.
The student should make a choice of major only after considerable
thought and deliberation. Current information regarding the various
fields of study offered at M. S. C. may be obtained from the Assistant
to the Vice President for Academic Affairs or divisional deans.
Class Standing
Class standing is determined by the total number of semester
hours earned including acceptable credits transferred from other
accredited colleges.
Lower Division ( General Education )
Freshman 0-31 semester hours of earned credit
Sophomore 32-63 semester hours of earned credit
Upper Division ( Liberal Arts or Teacher Education )
Junior 64-95 semester hours of earned credit
Senior 96 semester hours or more of earned credit
The student with 60 semester hours of earned credit while techni-
cally housed in the Upper Division is expected to make a formal appU
cation for acceptance into his division. Details regarding upper-divi
67
sional acceptance may be obtained from the Dean of Liberal Arts or
the Dean of Professional Studies.
Semester
A semester's work is defined as a minimum of 12 semester hours
of work attempted. To be considered a full-time student a minimum of
12 semester hours of work must be carried. 12 to 18 semester hours
constitutes a normal student class schedule. A student desiring to
carry more than 18 semester hours must obtain permission from his
department chairman and meet the following:
Credits Quality Point Average
19 2.60 or above
20 3.00 or above
Marking and Point System
Mansfield State College employs the 4-point system in evaluating
academic performance:
Grade Interpretation Quality Points
A Excellent 4
B Above Average 3
C Good College Work 2
D Passing 1
F Failure
I Incomplete
Instructors may correlate percentage scores with letter grades.
For such correlations the following list of equivalents is presented:
90— 100=A
80— 89=B
70— 79=C
60— 69=D
0— 59=F
The quality point average (Q. P. A.) is determined by dividing
the total number of quality points earned by the total number of
semester hours of work attempted. It should be noted that semester
hours and credit hours are one and the same. The Q. P. A. is the
index by which a student's academic standing is judged.
68
An "F" grade in a required course must be cleared by repeating
the course. It is not to the student's advantage, however, to repeat a
I >" grade.
An "I" (incomplete) grade is used to denote unfinished work be-
i uise of a death in the family, illness, accident or other serious miti-
gating circumstance. The student is responsible for the removal of an
I" grade within a period of three weeks following the semester in
which the "I" grade was given except in cases where further mitigating
situations prevail. It is expected that "I" grades given at the end of a
spring semester be made up during the first three weeks of summer
school.
Reasons for granting "I" grades must be cleared through the Office
of Academic Affairs. If the "I" grade is not cleared for reasons of mi-
tigating circumstances, the Registrar shall record a final grade of "F".
In addition to letter grades, the following designations (none of
which is figured in the Q. P. A.) are used in situations warranting
them:
S — Satisfactory
U — Unsatisfactory
EX — Credit by examination
WP — Withdrawal passing from the course after the drop-add
period with the approval of the instructor and the Office of
Academic Affairs.
WF — Withdrawal failing from the course after the drop-add
period with the approval of the instructor and the Office
of Academic Affairs.
AUD— Audited.
Withdrawal From or Addition of a Course
Withdrawal from a course after the designated drop-add period is
permitted only for justifiable reasons, and with the approval of the
Assistant to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, instructor of the
course and the student's departmental chairman. When such approval
is given the student receives either a WP or WF depending on his
status at the time of his withdrawal. No notation of a course dropped
will appear on the student's permanent record if he withdraws during
the designated drop-add period.
A student will receive an "F" in any course from which he with-
draws without approval.
To drop or add a course during the drop-add period the studenl
69
secures the appropriate form from the Data Processing Center, re-
ceives the signature of the instructor for the course involved and re-
turns the form to the Data Processing Center.
Change of Major or Division
Requests to change major or division must be initiated in the
Office of Academic Affairs. Such requests must be initiated during
the specified period well in advance of the next term in order that
the application may be acted upon before the new term begins. Spe-
cific forms will be provided.
Petition
Whenever any rule or regulations of the College causes an unfair
hardship, the student is entitled to petition for an exception by filling
out a petition form obtainable from his appropriate divisional head.
Advisors will be glad to assist in the preparation of a petition. Com-
pleted forms should have the necessary signatures prior to submission
to the Office for Academic Affairs.
Continuance in College
To remain in satisfactory standing a student must maintain a
cumulative point average of 2.0 or better. A student whose quality
point average ( Q. P. A. ) falls below 2.0 will automatically be placed
on academic probation. Except for the grade report issued at the close
of each semester reflecting the student's Q. P. A. the student will not
receive special notification that he has been placed on academic-
probation.
The So-Called "Old Policy" for Academic Continuance
Students who entered M. S. C. prior to September 1969 are per-
mitted continued matriculation governed by credits earned and the
corresponding minimum Q. P. A. as required by the following outline:
0-18 credits earned 1.40 or better to continue
19-31 credits earned 1.70 or better to continue
32-47 credits earned 1.80 or better to continue
48-63 credits earned 1.90 or better to continue
64 — beyond 2.00 or better to continue
Any student whose quality point average remains below the re-
quired Q. P. A. as outlined above will be dismissed from the College.
70
A one-year interval must elapse before a student may re-apply to the
College for re-admission. Any student twice dismissed for academic
reasons automatically terminates his association with Mansfield State
College.
The So-Called "New Policy" for Academic Continuance
Students entering Mansfield State College in September 1969 or
thereafter are subject to the scholastic requirements as follows:
A freshman student (0-31 earned semester hours), who does not
attain a 2.0 quality point average (Q. P. A.) at the close of his first
semester (12-18 semester hours attempted) will automatically be
placed on academic probation. If at the end of his second semester the
student has not removed himself from academic probation he will be
placed on academic probation for a third semester. At the end of his
third semester if his Q. P. A. is not a 2.0 or better, the student will
be dismissed from the college.
Students transferring to Mansfield State College with freshman
status (0-31 semester hours) will be accorded the same consideration
as the regular Mansfield State College freshman. A transfer student
with 32 semester hours of transferable work who does not achieve a
2.0 Q. P. A. at the end of his first semester will automatically be on
probation for one semester. If at the end of his second semester the
student has failed to achieve a 2.0 Q. P. A. he will be dismissed from
the College.
Any student with a Q. P. A. of a .99 or below at the close of a
semester will be dismissed from the College.
If a student, after completing two or more semesters of academic
work, attains less than a 2.0 Q. P. A. he will be placed on academic
probation for one semester. If at the end of this semester on academic
probation his Q. P. A. is still below a 2.0, he will be dismissed from
the College.
One calendar year must elapse before a student who has been
dismissed for academic deficiency may reapply for re-admission to
the College. Any student twice dismissed for academic reasons auto-
matically terminates his association with Mansfield State College.
Academic Standard's Review Board
Recommended Procedures for the Academic Standards Review
Board As Set Forth by the Academic Standard's Committee of the
Faculty.
Students who have not achieved the minimum required grade
71
point average to permit them continued matriculation are subject to
dismissal from the College. The academic standard to be followed in
the case of each student will be that academic standard's policy which
was in effect at the time of the student's initial matriculation or re-
admission.
Following dismissal notification a student, upon his own initiative,
has recourse to the Academic Standard's Review Board if in his opinion
there would be sufficient reason upon which to appeal his dismissal.
Should the student desire a review of his case, he should state this to
the administrative officer informing him of his dismissal.
I. Composition of the Review Board:
A. The Vice President for Academic Affairs or his designee
shall serve as Chairman of the Board.
B. Three members of the Academic Standard's Committee
as elected by that committee shall serve as voting members
of the Board for a term of one year. Those individuals for
June 1, 1970 through June 1, 1971 are:
Teacher Education Delegate: Dr. Verne Jeffers
( Alternate ) : Prof. Janet McMullen
Arts & Sciences Delegate: Dr. Charles Weed
Prof. Richard Mason
Delegate-at-Large: Prof. William Wetherbee
( Alternate ) : Dr. Emery Breniman
C. The Chairman of the student's department shall have one
vote.
D. One faculty member of the student's choice shall have a
vote.
II. Procedures:
A. The Assistant to the Vice President for Academic Affairs
shall establish the dates of the Review Board and notify the
student of the designated time and place. The Chairman of
the Board will not have a vote unless there is a split decision.
B. After having been notified of the time for the hearing the
student is expected to address to the Chairman of the Review
Board a written appeal stating his case. This written appeal
may be mailed to the Chairman or brought in person by the
student to the hearing. In no case, however, will the Board
72
be obligated to decide an appeal if the student has failed to
provide the Board with a written statement of his appeal.
C. After receiving information with regard to the appointed
time and place for his hearing, the student is expected to
request his departmental chairman and the faculty member
of his choice to appear before the Board at the appropriate
time.
D. Before the student discusses his case with the Board, the
student's written review will be read by the Board. The five
voting members of the A. S. B. B. will consider all necessary
records of the student. Next the student will be given the op-
portunity to speak to the A. S. R. B. (if he so desires).
E. Following the presentation of his appeal the five Board
members for the case will vote by secret ballot (example:
John Doe — granted or denied) and the student will be noti-
fied immediately of the Board's decision.
F. Failure to appear on the part of the student may constitute
waiver of the appeal and may result in a finalization of the
dismissal. Should the student's chairman or the faculty mem-
ber of his choice fail to appear, the remaining voting members
will have the determining votes. A majority vote of the mem-
bers will determine the decision on any specific case.
G. The recommendation of the A. S. R. B. to the President
will be considered final unless the student petitioner has new
information to present in a direct appeal to the President.
Withdrawal from the College
Students wishing to withdraw from the College must initiate the
process in the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. After
proper completion of all withdrawal papers the student is cleared for
formal withdrawal.
Withdrawal without proper notification and approval may preju-
dice the student's record and his chance for readmission. The college
reserves the right to record "F" grades for courses not completed dur-
ing the semester in which the student has improperly withdrawn.
Absence Policy
Student evaluation expressed as grades will be determined on tin-
basis of academic performance. Professors will outline their criteria
for academic evaluation prior to the end of the first week of class.
73
Bona fide absences because of illness, serious mitigating circum-
stances, or absences because of official College representation approved
by the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs shall be accepted
by all faculty.
Requests for absence from the College must be initiated in the
Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and official notification
for excused absences will be issued to the faculty by this office.
Faculty members are expected to take reasonable precautions
to reduce to a minimum opportunities for dishonesty in academic work.
Faculty should instruct the students as to the meaning of plagiarism
so as to aid in solving the plagiarism problem. Where possible, the
faculty member is expected to assess offenses of academic dishonesty in
the interests of acceptable high standards. This is a matter primarily
between the student and instructor. Requests for special assistance may
be made to the Office of Academic Affairs.

V. MOTOR VEHICLE REGULATIONS
General
Parking vehicles on campus is a privilege granted by the College
to all individuals who can observe restraint and display maturity in
the operation of their vehicle and the use of parking facilities.
Motor vehicle control is administered by the Mansfield State Col-
lege Traffic Policy Committee. The Committee is authorized to estab-
lish and enforce through the Traffic Court such rules and regulations
as are deemed necessary and proper for the operation of motor vehi-
cles and for the safety of pedestrians, property, and other vehicle
operators.
Mansfield State College Traffic Regulations are supplemental to
I the Vehicle Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
All College employees, faculty and students who operate any
type of motor vehicle are presumed to have read the following rules
and regulations following registration of their vehicle. Failure to read
and be familiar with the regulations shall not be accepted as an
excuse for violations.
Questions or problems relating to the operation of motor vehicles
should be directed to either the Chief Security Officer or the Chairman
of the Traffic Policy Committee.
These regulations, or any part thereof, may be revised at any time
but shall be reviewed each spring semester.
REGISTRATION OF MOTOR VEHICLE
A. REGISTRATION:
1. Each motor vehicle driven or parked on Mansfield State College
property, and/or used by students, College employees, or fac-
ulty at any time while in class attendance or during employ-
ment, must be registered with the Chief Security Officer. Com-
mercial vehicles delivering or performing services to the Col-
lege will not be required to have a permit. Permits may be ob-
tained from the Security Officer during semester registration
or in the Traffic Control Office located in North Hall, First
floor. All vehicles must be registered within a one week period
from the first day of registration.
2. Proof of ownership (registration) and driver's license of the
person registering the vehicle must be shown to the College
security officer at the time of application for a permit and at
any time when requested by a college security officer.
105
B. FEES:
There is no charge for parking, but a permit fee of $1.00 per per-
mit for the year or any part thereof is charged. Registration of a vehicle
does not insure a place to park on campus.
C. ELIGIBILITY FOR PARKING PERMITS:
Permits to park motor vehicles on campus shall be issued in the
following priority:
1. Permits with prefix number 11 issued only to administrative
officers and faculty.
2. Permits with prefix number 33 issued only to non-instructional

dents and not faculty.

cured from the Security Office and are to be returned to the
Security Officer when registering the vehicle and to be kept
by him.
8. Junior status is interpreted as acceptance into the Upper Di-
vision or two years of college attendance.
D. PERMITS:
1. A permit is issued for a specific motor vehicle. No permit may
be transferred from one vehicle to another. The person to

and parents and any violation incurred will be charged to the
student.
2. The decal is to be placed on the left rear bumper of the vehicle.
All old decals are to be removed or obliterated.

no longer distinguishable.
5. The permit of a motor vehicle which is sold, transferred, junked
or otherwise disposed of must be returned to the security offi-
cer within 48 hours of the time of such disposal or proof of
destruction of the permit must be shown. Any change of status
of a motor vehicle or the person to whom the permit is issued
must be reported to the security officer within 48 hours of the
change.

allow another student who has less than 2 years attendance in
college, i. e., a junior, to operate his vehicle. ($25.)

is at the sole risk of the operator. The College assumes no re-
sponsibility for any loss, damage or injury to any person or
