FTU Self-Study Goals
Outline Future Plans
By Mick Lochridge
OUTLINED in an eight page
booklet, the Self-Study Steering
Committee has complied with
President Charles N. Millican's
request for "concrete" plans for
the future of FTU and has
compiled university goals.
These goals are directions for
what Millican called in a Sept.
21 memo to faculty members "a
solid basis for the decison
making of FTU."
The goals have been laid out
by the Steering Committee,
headed by Dr. Carl P.
Routenstrauch, working from
questionaires    put    to    a    50
member panel of "experts" from
the faculty, student body, Board
of Regents and members of the
community. Choices for the
panel were based on expertise
and higher education and what
Rautenstrauch referred to as
"basic savy."
THE STEERING
COMMITTEE began work last
fall.
A sub-committee sent out
goal statements to receive a
rating from the members of the
panel on importance and
timeliness. The panel worked
individually.
Using     a     ''looped"
questionnaire, two surveys were
done, one last fall and one in
February. The results were
evaluated by the sub-committee.
THE SECOND survey
contained the identical material
as the first but it gave panel
members a chance to change
their opinions or make further
comments.
The sub-committee then
proposed a set of goals to the
Steering Committee, which
combined last winter's student
survey and the faculty survey
and put together the set of goals

AFTER LETTING the
possible name change for FTU
rest this past summer, President
Charles Millican reopened
discussion on the matter
Tuesday in a meeting with
various university interest
groups.
After nearly two hours of
discussion, Millican appointed a
special committee to
recommend any action that may
be taken on the name change.
The purpose of this
committee, according to
Chairman William Young, is "to
try to get effective and general
response to the proposal for a
name change."
IN ORDER for any survey to
be effective, Young said he plans
to contact faculty members
trained in survey research to
assist any organization
attempting one.
Specifying the requirements
for surveys, President Millican
said, "If any group decides to
conduct a survey asking whether
or not those responding feel the
name should be changed, then
that survey must include, for
those who respond with a "yes"
answer, a requirement that they
suggest an alternative. This also
applies to any group deciding to
recommend that the name be
changed."
Outlining the criteria for new
name suggestions, Millican
stated,
"We must have a name
that   is   acceptable  to  the
majority of the university
community; the
community at large,
including alumni; and the
Chancellor, the Board of
Regents, and the State
Cabinet. From our
experience last spring and
following personal visits I
have had with some
members of the Board
within the last month, it is
crystal clear to me that the
following criteria must be
met if we again attempt to
change the name:

Projected
Enrollment
Cuts Fees
By Steve Paulson
BECAUSE of a projected
drop in full fee-paying students,
the budgets for activity and
service fees have been severely
cut said Dr. Charles Brown,
assistant vice president of
student affairs.
The projected number of full
fee-paying students is down
from 6,080 in 1972-73 to 5,129
in 1973-74.
FTU receives $34.50 for each
full fee-paying student for the
purpose of activities and
services.

12-Acre Site Approved
'For Greek Housing
THE NEXT "hurdle', in the
administration's steps to develop
the Fraternity-Sorority Lodge
Park by Lake Lee is "to come up
with $5,000 for a topography
survey and obtain a legal
description for the area," said W.
Rex Brown, vice president for
Student Affairs.
Development of the 12 acre
site was approved by President
Charles Millican on Aug. 17.
After the topography survey and
legal description are made, the
plan will have to be approved by
the Board of Regents.
Brown said he does not know
when these two steps will be
taken because he does not have
the necessary $5,000.
THE TOPOGRAPHY survey
will examine ecological aspects,
natural resources and drainage
The legal description will
pinpoint the site in the way a
blueprint depicts a house. This
will be done by contracting
firms and lawyers.
The Lodge location is on
university property, 300 feet
north of Lake Lee and just west
of    the    campus    intramural
•seball fields.
Brown forwarded for approval
results    of    an    informal
committee study on the
proposal of developing the
lodges. Brown said the main
factor was the project would
occupy land which might be
needed in 10 years.
PHYSICAL PLANT personnel
looked at the area and made a
suggested drawing for the
fraternity and sorority lodges.
Under the proposed plan one
acre will be available to each
fraternity, while the sororities
will have a two acre plot with
one lodge to house all sororities.
A two acre plot will be left open
for expansion by either
fraternities or sororities.
The social organizations will
lease the property from FTU on
a total lease that, according to
Rodney Blankenship, president
of Lambda Chi fraternity, will
be between $10,000 and
$30,000.
PAM BROWNING, acting
assistant advisor for student
development, said the sororities
are consulting the national
Panhellenic chapter, for financial
information and are also
coordinating some ideas for the
design of the lodge.
Brown     said    it    was
