Schedule Changes Told;
Fall Term to Conclude
Before Christmas Break
Abilene Christian Cottage
Hardin-Simmons University and
McMurry CoHege have an-
nounced cooperative plans for a
major revision in the schedule
for the 1969-70 school year.
Joining a growing number of
state and private Institutions in
Texas officials of the three
Abilene schools announced that
beginning next school year the
fall semester would begin Sept. 2
or 3 and conclude with final
exams before the Christmas holi-
days. The spring semester will be-
gin after a four-week break or
about Jan. 20 or 21 1970 and
end with commencement exer-
cises May 17-18. The three
summer school schedules will
not be changed.
Making the announcement
were Dr. Porter J. Crow
McMurry dean; Dr. Joe C.
Humphrey McMurry administra-
tive assistant to the president;
Dr. Edward O. Groesback HSU
vice president for academic
affairs; Dr. Walter H. Adams
ACC dean; and Ken Rasco ACC
registrar.
Rasco explained that the new
schedule Is the calendar recom-
mended by the Texas Coordinat-
ing Board for State Schools. "It
has already been adopted by Sul

Ross and Texas Tech with
Texas AscM and the University
of Houston considering It favor-
ably" he reported.
Rasco said Southern Method-
ist Univetsity and Southwestern
University use the new calendar
and Austin College has adopted
a variation of it. Lubbock Chris-
tian College Texas Christian
University and Midwestern
University will also begin using it
next year.
The plan basically calls for
15 weeks of olasses per semester
plus registration and finals and
conclusion before Christmas.
Summer school would remain
two sessions of six weeks each.
"The three colleges in Abi-
lene try to coordinate dates
because of the intercollegiate
students" Rasco pointed out.
He said they bad studied the
cooperative calendar situation
for three years.
"The only radical thing
about the new calendar is losing
one week of classes to finish
before Christmas" Rasco noted.
"But this Is not as bad as it
sounds. We're telling them far
enough ahead so they can work
on it.
"We will be keeping in step
with major state universities by
adopting this new schedule."
The college officials
explained that they had tempor-
arily ruled out the "mini-
mester" or short three-week
semester between Christmas and
the spring term that some
schools in the state have
adopted.
Instead they have left those
weeks open for faculty seminars
and other similar programs.
He explained that in the
"mini-mester" a student would
attend one olass three hours a
day five times a week. He emph-
asized that Abilene colleges had
only temporarily ruled it out
that they could adopt it individ-
ually or together in the future.
