A S Emphasizes Three -Fold Policy Insuring effective classroom instruction, providing proper advising for students, and encouraging research were the goals for the College of Arts and Sciences. In an attempt to improve the advising pro- gram, some instructors were relieved of full- time teaching responsibilities and assigned as part-time advisers. For the first two years students retained the same general adviser and then transferred to individual advisers in their major fields. There were 3,466 stu- dents enrolled in Arts and Sciences. John Chalmers assumed his duties as dean of the college of arts and sciences, replacing William Bevan who became vice-president for academic affairs. Chalmers, a Rhodes Scholar and graduate of Cornell University, came from an administrative position at the University of Wyoming. Chalmers ' major field of interest is economic theory.
