The 3.75 - 4.0 that previ-

3.89; and the 3.25 - 3.49 that
was honors, now is 3.6 - 3.79.
The change was proposed
and adopted in early 1992 by
the Academic Council, but will
not go into effect until June 1,
1994. “The council felt that
students would need time to
adjust to the new standard
before its implementaion. The

“It took EMS about 15 min-
utes to get there,” Medcalf said.
“The police arrived first. We
were there 15 to 20 minutes on
our own.”
The man later complained
of chest pains and discomfort
in his neck and legs.
Caballero assessed the situ-

paramedics while Medcalf con-
tinued to hold the victim’s
back, neck and head.

The percentage will vary
from year to year, depending
on the size of the graduating
class and their adaptation to
the changes, Cotrell clarified.
“However, in my experience,
people will raise their aspira-
tions if they are challenged,”
Cotrell added.
Several factors prompted the
change, Cotrell said.
One rationale corresponds
to the increase in SAT and
ACT scores of St. Mary’s in-
comingfreshmen over the past
standards will “keep us more
in live with our peer group of
institutions that we we also
aspire to, who had slightly
higher standards than ours.”
Cotrell pointed out that the

“Ernie helped keep the
people away and clear the area,
and he got me a flashlight,”
Caballero said. “Brian was
helping to clear the area, too.
There were all these people
wanting to come up and look
through the driver’s side door.”
According to Medcalf, Ca-

breathing and examined for
leakage of fluid through the

The police report said that
drinking and high speed were
contributing factors to the ac-

“I believe the police found a

beer or something like that,”
Medcalf said. “That’s what I
gathered from their conversa-
