Senate Votes
To Abolish
Florida BOR
The Florida Senate voted to
abolish the Board of Regents
Friday, 30-14, but the bill still must
clear the house of representatives
before it becomes law. The bill is
presently residing in the house
reorganization committee which
can kill it completely by not
placing it on the house calendar.
If the bill gets out of that
committee today, adjournment
day, it will face further problems in
house appropriations.
The drive to abolish the Regents
was started by Senate President
Jerry Thomas last November,
"Even if this bill does not pass in
the house, I think we have
accomplished the thing I set out to
do. We have gotten the attention of
the Regents," said Thomas.
The bill, if passed by the house,
will set up a seven-member advisory
board to replace the present
nine-member group and give
additional power to the university
system chancellor. The board
would advise the chancellor on
policy matters and his decisions
(the chancellor's) would be subject
to ratification by the cabinet board
of education.

The joy of victory is vividly written on the tace 01 Susan Autrey, wno
was declared Miss FTU for 1971 last Friday evening. The 5'6"
brown-haired coed is a member of Tyes Sorority, has been a Student
Government Senator this year and will be a Panhellenic Representative.
Com And Psy Degrees
Up For Regents' Vote
FTU may finally get graduate programs in psychology and
communication, if the Board of Regents approves the recommendation
of its Curriculum Committee at this Monday's meeting in Miami.
Chancellor Robert B. Mautz has recommended that the Board approve
the   request   for  the  two  masters
programs for FTU, as well as for
three other masters programs, two
from Florida Atlantic University
and one from the University of
West Florida.
Dean of Social Sciences Bernard
C. Kissel said he is "hopeful" that
the programs will be approved, and
Dean of Graduate Studies and
Research Leslie L. Ellis is looking
forward to the approval which FTU
has worked for and anticipated for
over a year.
According to Ellis, university
officials had thought that the
approval of the masters programs
was  to  be  considered  at the last
for authority to create a
deaprtment of community health
and family medicine and to phase
out and discontinue its doctorate
program in pharmacognosy.

the recent appointment of Dr.
William K. Grasty to succeed
George King as President Millican's
executive assistant. Grasty was
communication department
chairman.
Ellis said that earlier in the year
the Board of Regents had turned
down FTU's requests for masters
programs in English and
Economics.
Also on the agenda, according to
the observations and
recommendations issued by
Chancellor Mautz, is the issue of
dormitory visit ation. Sunday the
Board will hear "presentations by
interested parties" on the dorm
visitation question. The purpose of
this Sunday meeting is to give the
Regents a chance to discuss and act
on the issue at its regular meeting
Monday without hearing any
further public testimony.
Some of the other items on the
agenda include consideration of the
appointment of Dr. Richard W.
Hansen as chairman of the division
of marketing at Florida
International University;
consideration of the University of
Florida's requests for the
establishment of an Inter-College
Department of Computer and
Information Science and for

the last presidential election by
only a half million votes and they
are attempting to acquaint eight
million students at 3,000 junior and

The pledge cards will be
forwarded to President Nixon with
copies to members of Congress and
to the National Headquarters of
both the Democratic or Republican
parties.
Interested students are requested

member. The deadline for
submitting the pledges is the end of
June.
