[[newspaper clipping]] Friday, August 27, 1971 Page 9 Cafeteria Not Here To Exploit Students "The cafeteria is not here to exploit students, but we expect to make an honest profit," said Ed Chechovsky, new cafeteria manager transfering from the University of Tulsa. ID's will be checked to insure that students do not loan tickets. Anyone caught with another person's meal ticket is subject to a fine, and will be referred to the Dean of Students. According to Chechovsky, the majority of students are not expected to eat three meals a day seven days a week. "We allow the average student a dollar a day to eat on and if the meal ticket is loaned this means a 100 per cent rate, which would in turn raise the prices and the school would have to charge more for meal tickets." Three types of meal tickets are being offered; 19 meals, which entitles one to all 19 meals served in the dining hall, seven days a week. Fourteen meal plans will include any 14 meals Monday breakfast through Friday dinner. The ten meal plan will allow individuals any ten meals Monday breakfast through Friday dinner. A fast food/a la carte line will occupy the South Dining Hall beginning Monday. The menu here will consist of items such as hamburgers, cokes, hot dogs, etc. A person without a meal ticket may purchase lunch here. An individual with a meal ticket is eligible for up to $1. Hours of the fast food/a la carte line are Monday through Friday 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Anyone with a meal ticket that desires to eat dinner at this line may do so from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Dining hall hours are as follows: Breakfast, 7:15-9:15, Continental Breakfast, 9:15-10:30; Soup & Sandwiches, 10:30-11:30; Dinner, 4:30-6:15; A la carte line, 10:30-4.30.

[/advertisement]] Admission Policy Shows Discrepancy to Transfers A WTSU Board of Regents' policy statement concerning admissions, issued during a summer meeting, has been interpreted by the new academic vice president as being less politically motivated as it is a bookkeeping aid. The policy statement, to be entered into the school's catalogue, says "All applications for admission will be given individual consideration. An applicant will not be admitted if it appears that his admission is not in the best interest of the university, even though he may meet the minimum requirements." Dr. Ray Malzahn, who this semester moves from dean of arts and sciences to academic vice president, said he felt the statement was not politically motivated and was designed to help administrators decide if a prospective student was academically eligible. "Our admission standards for transfer students state only that if the student is eligible to return to his original institution he is eligible to go here," Dr. Malzahn said. "We are having more and more problems with the transfer students." The problem, according to the vice president, is that "more and more institutions are drifting toward not putting anything on transcripts." "Some schools do not put academic suspensions on transcripts," he said. "Some schools do not even have academic suspensions." Dr. Malzahn said what was needed for admissions is "some sort of policy that will allow us to look at unusual transcripts and make an evaluation." One of the problems occurs when a student transfers from a school giving only "pass-fail" indications on transcripts, with a letter-grade of "D" considered to be passing. "It is unfair to our other students who know we will only transfer in a letter grade of "C" meaning that a "D" must be balanced by a transcript grade of "B" or better, " Dr. Malzahan said. Computers Juggle Campus Housing WTSU has computerized another university function. Since the first week of the summer session, campus housing has been administered by a computer, a spokesman for the housing office said. The switch to computer housing was instituted for three major reasons. One of the more important reasons is to get large sums of money out of the dorms. Hall directors are not bonded and would be held responsible for any unaccounted for funds, the spokesman said. Another important reason was to centralize housing operations. Before, directors first collected room and board payments and then turned the money over to the housing office. Under the new system payment will be made directly to the housing office located in the East Dining Hall by the student. A third major reason for the switch was to make paper work more efficient. The new system is to do away with duplicity in housing operations, added the spokesman. At the present moment the new system is running like all new systems — confused, unorganized, and not all that efficient. Those concerned with the administration of the housing office hope that, with experience, the office will alleviate its present shortcoming. WTSU Obtains Facilities A Senate committee on education has passed House bill 380 which will enable Northwest Texas State Hospital and West Texas State University to coordinate a baccalaureate degree program in nursing. Under the bill, the hospital will be allowed to make facilities available to W.T.S.U. Speech Emphasis Vital in Curriculum How vital is good speech in the world of business? According to the results of a survey conducted by Tyler H. Tindell, new instructor in speech, the oral communication needs of businessmen are important enough that they should be emphasized in the college curriculum. Tindall, who conducted the survey in work for his Master of Arts Degree which was conferred by WTSU last spring, said, "An investigation was made of various published works in the field of business and prfessional speaking to determine what speech areas were of major significance in the business world." The new speech instructor sent questionnaires to 780 persons who received degrees from the WTSU School of Business since 1963. The graduates were asked their opinion of the practicality of college speech courses and to relate their own experience in the world of business. Approximately 83 per cent of the 379 responding graduates were in favor of requiring a college speech course for all business majors. Responses indicated that speech course emphasis should be in the areas of person to person speaking, argumentation and debate, and communication barriers. Dr. Zeke Marchant, Business Administration department head, said that Tindall's findings will "certainly be considered in analyzing our program in the future." Appraising Course Second In State A course in appraising real property is being offered for the first time this fall by the School of Business at West Texas State University. The school is one of five in the country selected to offer the course by the Society of Real Estate Appraisers in Chicago. The only other place offering such in Texas is the University of Houston. Joe L. Martin of the First Federal Savings and Loan of Amarillo, a senior residential appraiser (SRA), will teach the course. Dr. Zeke Marchant, head of the Department of Business Administration, said the course is open to anyone. No prerequisites are required. The course, listed as B.A. 276-3, will meet 7 p.m. Tuesdays in room 104 of the University Complex South, Marchant said. He said the course was especially designed for persons working toward the SRA. It will be taught on the undergraduate level, he added. Before offering the course, West Texas State had to be approved by the Society of Real Appraiseres in Chicago. "We have been trying for several years to get the approval to teach this course." Marchant said, "Before approving us, the society wanted to make sure we met their standards." Students registering for the course should do so Aug. 28, registration day for evening students. The cost is $124.25, Marchant said. He said a second course in the series required for the SRA would be offered next summer. [[advertisement]] SILLY RABBIT SAC Is For Everyone! [/advertisement]]
