A 1 The University is a complex of power structure vast on paper, deep in red tape, and plagued with administrative and managerial problems. A challenge to teaching excellence exists with- in any large institution of higher education. Em- phasis in many University operations was directed this year to quality of education. The Board of Regents expressed concern over the educational efficiency of the gigantic College of Arts and Sciences. Faculty members discussed the monolithic structure ' s influence on educational quality and debated the possibility of a split into smaller colleges. The nature and purpose of education was questioned. A student-faculty committee began the search for a new University president to re- place Dr. Norman Hackerman, who resigned in April. Criteria used in the selection may point to the future direction of education at The University of Texas at Austin. Much depends on the choice and who wields how much authority.

Total fall enrollment numbered 64,572 including students enrolled in extension courses. More than 35,000 were on the Austin campus. The System ' s extensive growth reached new heights with the Legislature ' s creation of several new institutions. These future component institu- tions are included in the map of the expanded System. Financial support of the System is increas- ingly dependent on legislative appropriations.
