Dear List

Our Vice President is concerned about the failure and withdrawl rate in
developement studies and algebra. Ours is aprocahing 50 %. He has
directed us to investigate. We would really like to know if we are that
much out of line with other schools. Could you do a quick runthrough and
let us know about wherer you stand.

By the way, the VP had to teach a class for a week. He's in English and
assigned a poem for homework. The next day, one person had read it, so
some of the pressure is off us. Perhaps you can take some more off.

Peace,

Don Cook
