Fall Preregistration Set
A new linn spring-to-fnll pro-
registration program is in the
making for the convenience of
McMurry students according to
Dr. Allen Cordts Dean of the
College.
Tentative plans call for the
fall class schedules to be pub-
lished April 4 preregistration
for fall courses to take place
April 10-18 and students to pay
general fees by April 25.
"There is a strong rationale
behind this" Dr Cordts said
"First it allows all presently en-
rolled McMurry students to en-
roll Inexactly those courses they
want for next fall And it also
allows the administration
plenty of time to plan for in-
structional needs for next fall "
V. Facilities
A. studeht center: should a new
student center be built; if so
what facilities should it con-
tain; how should it be ad-
ministered or organized?
Can existing structures be
remodeled to serve for stu-
dent center?
B. 'dormitories: what are the
needs for refurbishing and
maintaining tho dorms?
C. eating facilities: should ex-
isting facility be remodeled
or another built?
D. recreational facilities: are
those adequate? PE center?
Tennis courts? Need for addi-
tional ones: swimming pool?
bowling alleys? etc.
E. Radford: what functions
does nnd should it servo? Can
it bo temodelcd to function
more efficiently for student
needs?
F. "getting together places to
sit and talk inside and out-
side? G. campus appearance: is the
landscaping adequate?
aesthetic? What should be
changed if anything?
H. off-campus college-owned
housing: needs for mainte-
nance etc ?

The Executive Committee of
the Board ofTrustees has moved
to raise the general fee to $!) per
hour for those registering in tho
fall. Students prcregistcring In
the spring will continue to pay
the lower $2 general fee rote as
an added inducement to help
make the plan work
Students on financial aid can
work out account arrangements
so their aid packages will reflect
payment of these fees In the
spring said Don Scales Director
of Financial Aid.
These arc the recommenda-
tions which the Budget and Fi-
nance Committee nnd the Ex-
ecutive Committee will bring to
the McMurry Board ofTrustees
