Grades a little low? New GPA Standards and Academic Probation
Rebekah Powers <rjpowers@wlu.edu>
Have you ever had a bad term where your term or cumulative GPA fell 
just a little below 2.0?  In the past you might have avoided 
Academic Probation.   This fall the new GPA standards, which were 
passed by the Faculty last year, will go into effect for Academic 
Probation and Automatic Rule.  Please note two new changes:

1) If the term or cumulative grade-point average falls below 2.000 
(for all class years) the student will be put on Academic Probation.
2) First-year students whose first-term grade-point average falls 
below 1.000 will be placed on Automatic Rule, i.e. academic 
suspension from W&L for one year. 

If you fall in either of the categories above, I encourage you to 
work hard through the end of final exams.  Take advantage of all the 
resources available to you – faculty office hours, talking with your 
academic adviser, peer tutoring, counseling, speaking with a Student 
Affairs dean or Academic dean.  Consider ways in which you can 
curtail extra-curricular activities and focus on your course work.

University Christmas Candlelight Service
Julie Cline <jcline@wlu.edu>
Washington and Lee University's annual Christmas Candlelight Service 
will be held Thursday, Dec. 10, at 8 p.m. in Lee Chapel. 

The public is invited to attend at no charge. Seating will begin at 
7:15 p.m. 

The "Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols," broadcast each year from 
King's College Chapel, University of Cambridge, and widely used in 
England, the United States and around the world, is an ancient form 
for corporate worship at the Christmas season. The prayers, lessons 
and music tell the story of sacred history from the Creation to the 
Incarnation. 

Music for the traditional service again will be provided by the 
University Chamber Singers this year conducted by Shane Lynch, 
director of choral activities. Timothy Gaylard, professor of music, 
will be the organist for the service. 

Nine members of the Washington and Lee University community are 
chosen to read the lessons.  William C. Datz '75, coordinator of 
Religious Life, will preside over the service.
