Education Bill
To Be Killed
A Student Government Senate
resolution calling for change in the
block teaching schedule for the
College of Education "is in the
process of being withdrawn"
according to the bill's sponsor
Education Senator Debbie
Hanshew.
The resolution was one part of a
two-part package calling for one
day off per week for students in the
education block, and additional
credits for teaching students, which
passed the senate November 18.
According to Miss Hanshew,
unknown to her at the time of the
bill's passage, Dean of Education
Calvin C. Miller "had already made
preparations to give junior interns
in the education block a day off."
"For this reason," she said,
"Dean Miller requested that I
withdraw the resolution. It will
probably be necessary to draw up a
second bill requesting that the
resolution be made void."
"I hope to do this within two or
three weeks," said Senator
Hanshew.
The second resolution calling for
an increase in credits from two to
three hours for student teaching has
been taken under advisement by
Miller, who has planned to appoint
a committee composed of faculty
and possibly graduate students to
examine "the overall view of the

Apartments
To Be Built
Monogram Land Co. announced
plans this week for a 50-unit
apartment complex to be built
north of the FTU campus.
Ground-breaking for Village Oaks,
as the complex will be named, will
begin in late February or early
March, according to Don Tauscher,
spokesman for the land company.
The complex is to be located
two miles north of the FTU
boundaries at the intersection of
Alafaya Trail and Red Bug Road.
The project covers 37 acres, 20 of
which will be utilized for the
projected apartment units. The
remaining 17 acres are zoned for
commercial use, and will be
designed to serve the tenants and
surrounding areas.
The apartments are to be
designed in the "cluster housing"
fashion, said Tauscher. "We got the
idea from the University of
Minnesota area, where it has been
very popular with the students,"
added Tauscher.
The cluster housing concept
allows maximum freedom and a
"homey" atmosphere, according to
the land company spokesman. The
bedrooms, which will have separate
entrances, will be divided by a
living area and a pullman-type
kitchen. The design will
accommodate from two to six
students per unit, according to
Tauscher.
Recreational facilities will
include pools, recreation rooms and
much open space for football games
and other such sports.
"We are also considering our
own transportation system to and
from the university, if growth of
the area dictates the need," said
Tauscher.

Askew Asked To Proclaim
' 7th Of March Day' In State
Miss FTU
Given Money
By SG Senate
By Beth Weilenman
A bill to appropriate $380 from
reserve funds for tuition for Susan
Autrey, the current Miss FTU, has
been passed by Student
Government Senate and signed by
SG President Frank Santry.
The bill, first read January 6 and
passed January 13 at regular senate
meetings, was proposed by Senator
Lee Constantine (General Studies)
after a misunderstanding arose
concerning the duration of the
scholarship.
The FTU Foundation, which
had undergone a change of
directors, had given only one
quarter's tuition to Miss Autrey.
She and several contestants and
other students contended that the
scholarship was for a full year.
The change of directors of the
FTU Foundation took place when
the first president, Judge Charles
Andrews, died. Allen Trovillion was
selected as successor to Judge
Andrews May 14,1970.
Miss Autrey was questioned by
SG, and several senators checked
contestant applications, press
releases and contracts signed by the
contestants.
According to Bill Castellano,
senior senator in the College of
Social Sciences, a student who
helped coordinate the 1971-72 Miss
FTU Pageant said Miss Autrey had
A resolution which would urge
Governor Reubin Askew to
proclaim March 7 "Project 7th of
March Day in Florida" was
introduced on the floor of the
Florida Senate last week by Senator
Bill Gunter, as his way of
supporting the 'straw vote'
movement which originated at
FTU.
"Project 7th of March" is a
bipartisan drive to stimulate voter
participation among Florida's
newly enfranchised 18 to
21-year-old college voters.
The ballot for the voting will be
exactly the same as the ballot for

TELETHON ACTS NEEDED
The 17 th annual Cerebral Palsy
Telethon will be held February 12
and 13. The Telethon will be aired
continuously for 18 to 20 hours
over WDBO-TV, Channel 6, from
the Orlando Municipal Auditorium.
Jack Drummond, a director of
the Telethon, has set a goal of
$150,000, and has said
approximately 30 to 40 acts will be
needed for the show. Talent
auditions will be held Sunday and
January 30. Acts will be scheduled
according to the length of each and
all talent is welcome, he said.
All persons interested in
auditioning for the Telethon may
call 896-0451 to receive an audition
time. Auditions will be held in the
Orlando Bahia Shrine Temple. A
rehearsal piano player will be
available upon request.

national news coverage. Bill
Castellano and JoAnne Puglisi,
Student Government senators, are
the originators of the plan.
Orlando Mayor Carl T. Langford
has proclaimed the day "Project
7th of March Day" in Orlando.
Gunter's Senate resolution
which will do the same thing for in
Florida, says that this activity
"offers the opportunity to show
the true spirit of Florida college
students working together within
the system and demonstrates tb all
concerned that they are willing to
organize beind sound goals and
ideals. .."
The most recent endorsement
for the project came from President
Charles N. Millican, who told
Castellano and Miss Puglisi in a
letter, "You are to be commended
for your fresh and imaginative
approach to the registration and
active participation of your fellow
students in the electoral process by
which we govern ourselves and
bring about meaningful change in
our society. On behalf of the FTU
community, please accept our
official pleasure and endorsement."
The Orlando Sentinel, in a
December 31, 1971 editorial, voiced
a point which has been under much
discussion by political spokesman
in Florida.
"It should be interesting, " reads
the editorial, "to compare the
March 7 trial heat with the real
thing on March 14 in those
communities where collegians
outnumber the permanent voter
residents. It is possible.. . that in
the final seven days there might be
a tremendous candidate switch
among voters."
SUSAN AUTREY
signed a contract guaranteeing her a
one quarter scholarship.
Castellano said in a statement
Tuesday, "My investigation has
produced the following details:
First, Student Government has no
record of a contract ever being
signed by Susan Autrey; second,
the student coordinator could not
produce a copy of the contract, and
third, no mention of a specific
scholarship amount was carried in
the FuTUre or in official university
press releases on the Pageant. For
these reasons I have concluded that
the suggestions that there was a
contract signed cannot, at this
point, be supported by facts."
Should a written and signed
agreement be found and presented
to SG, however, the bill would be
rescinded.
The bill now is being sent to Dr.
Rex Brown, vice president for
student affairs, to be approved.
Money will have to be requisitioned
and will be awarded directly to Miss
Autrey through financial aid. SG
President Santry said that the
process may be completed by the
middle of next week.
There may not be a Miss FTU
