              Hum.&Soc. Sci. Split Seen
We Live in the Present
By the Past, but
for tlie. . .
01Tidal Announcement
Is Anticipated Soon
Informed sources told the FuTUre last week that the College of
Humanities and Social Sciences was going to be divided into two separate
colleges. The split is allegedly going to take place early in July, at the
beginning of the new fiscal year.
The division was announced at a
faculty meeting March 3 by Dean
Micarelli but has not yet been
officially released by the
University. The move will have to
be approved by the Board of
Regents before it is final but
sources indicate that it will be
approved.
The majority of the chairmen of
the various departments in the
existing college have agreed that the
split will be beneficial. It is
designed to cut the size of the
existing college into two colleges of
fairly managable size.
One source indicated that H&SS
will have 81 faculty members by
the spring quarter and would grow
to well over 100 by the fall quarter,
building quickly into a college too
large to effectively run.
A Committee will be set up to
decide which departments will be in
which college. Indications were that
the two new colleges will be called
"The College of Social Sciences",
and the "College of Behavioral
Sciences."
There    seemed     to    be    some
FLOWER POWER can do wonders. Three members
of the Orange County Sheriffs Dept. attending the
rock festival at the Orlando Sports Stadium last
weekend show that they came in peace. The 5,000
young people attending the concert behaved
themselves beautifully. So did the fuzz. See pictures

Teach-in
SG Suffers From Apathy
Due To Five Vacant Seats
There are presently five unfilled positions in Student Government.
Three of these vacancies are senators seats. The other two are the
Junior Class president and the Governor of Education. The missing
legislators are the Senior senator of Education, Senior senator of Natural
Sciences, and the Junior senator of 	
Humanties. These three senators
from a senate of 26, comprise
almost 15%, vacancy, with another
10-20% of the senate absent
weekly. This leaves nearly one-fifth
of the student body completely
defranchised, while the Student
Government's objective is to
represent all of the students.
The Student Government has
made an attempt for a working
senate. About one month ago, S.G.
passed a statute which states: if a
senator accumulates six or more
excused absences or three
unexcused absences or is tardy six
or more times, he will be suspended
from office. This statute also holds
true for class presidents and college
governors, except that they are
allowed up to four unexcused
absences.
When a legislator resigns or is
suspended from office, the
president of S.G. appoints
replacements which are put before
the senate for approval, and if after
looking over his qualifications the
senate approves, the replacement
may then assume his official duties.
Out of the five legislators, two
were suspended by the absense
statute and they were Senators
Drenna Bohn and William Finch.
Scholarship Decision Will
Be Delayed Until Spring
In an interview with Dean Calvin Miller, Dean of the College of
Education, the FuTUre discovered that there would not be a decision
made on the feasibility of offering athletic scholarships at FTU until
sometime in the Spring quarter. Miller said that he was asked by the
President to hold a meeting with his        ai D       I  *

The FTU high flying kite record
of 3,000 ft. is presently held by
Dave Jackson and Dave Sebastion.
On Feb. 23, 1970, these two
daring young men managed to fly
their kite attached to 3,000 feet of
string. They broke the old record
by using a tee-type kite and cotton
string.

Chancellor Robert B. Mautz, of
the Board of Regents, congratulated
the FTU library on the concept and
quality of the FTU Library Current
Awareness List. A regular
publication, the Awareness List
gives a review of current news and
comments on higher education,
and, in the words of Chancellor
Mautz, "provides a much-needed
information service."
Pollution is a dirty word.
So what can an FTU student do
about it? Or, for that matter, what
FTU student, living in Sunny
Florida would want to do anything
about it?
That's what a local group of
businessmen are wondering this
week. They are members of the
Audubon Society, the Serria Club
and other wildlife and conservation
groups. They are trying to find out
if there are students at FTU who
care enough in the pollution around
us to organize a campus
Environmental "Teach-In" on April
22.
FTU won't be alone if it does get
a teach-in started. In fact, the
university might be alone if it
doesn't. A college-oriented national
teach in has been planned for April
22 on almost every campus in the
nation. Locally Rollins, Valencia
and other schools are participating.

as to whether the split should be
carried out or not but no formal
complaints had reached the FuTUre
as of this writing.
Several professors told their
classes of the upcoming move but
there have been no official
statements and as of Wednesday
there were even members of the
president's staff who had not heard
of it. An official release should
come sometime around the end of
March after the Board of Regents
meeting on the 19th.
The split" would give FTU six
colleges and brought speculation
from several professors as to
whether the spliting would end
with H&SS. There were guesses that
FTU would soon have as many as
eight to ten colleges to serve the
students.
Bookstore Grosses
Half-Million
Since the bookstore on campus
first opened its doors in October of
1968 it has done a business with
gross sales reaching "some where
around half a million dollars,"
according to Ian Maxwell, manager
of the bookstore.
Some idea of the volume of
business in books alone can be
determined from a look at the
inventory for the upcoming Spring
quarter. Four hundred new
textbook titles are in stock or
underway from publishers.
Paperbacks ranging from light
fiction to heavy reference material
number 2,600 titles. There also is a
complete Black Studies inventory,
which includes a 25-book
paperback series.
Also in stock are the customary
jackets, mugs, jewelry, T-shirts, ash
trays, pennants, stickers and
notebooks-all emblazoned with the
FTU seal.
The bookstore is considered the
official "keeper of the seaH" As
such, it controls who and what shall
be permitted to use the seal, and
collects a royalty from users which
in turn goes into FTU's scholarship
fund.
The money earned by the
bookstore from all of its enterprises
goes    separate     ways.    A    big
athletic staff and several other
professionals and recommend to
the Executive committee what type
of inter-collegiate athletics they felt
the University should pursue.
Miller said that his committee
was responsible simply for a
suggestion to the Executive
committee, and the final decision
would be made by the President.
"The recommendations will be as
to the extent of our athletics, and
not whether we should offer
scholarships, or not." Miller said,
"If we suggest to the President we
want to play Notre Dame in two
years, we are going to need to give
bigger and better scholarships than
if we just want to play Rollins and
Florida Presbyterian.
Once Miller's committee meets,
which Miller promised would be in
the "near future" the ideas will be
presented to the President's
Executive committee, which in turn
will deliver its suggestion to the
President who will make the final
decision.
Recently the FuTUre discovered
that several FTU studenb are going
to lose their prize parking places by
the end of this week. Captain John
Smith of the security force -on
campus told the FuTUre that the
parking places behind the Village
Center would be closed to students
in the near future since many
students are abusing the privilege of
parking there. Smith said, "We let
them park there as long as they
didn't take advantage of us. Now
there are cars everywhere back
there, and it's just not working
out." Smith also noted that there
were too many cars in the lot to
allow a safe exit.
"We're going to have a bad wreck
because of this mess, unless we do
something soon," Smith said,
pointing out a blind corner that
cars must round in order to enter
the narrow, dirt lot.
CARS, cars everywhere, and not a place to park.
FTU Security Department will be clamping down on
unauthorized cars that now jam every inch of space
behind the Village Center.
