I '--' K .y Grientation Confused freshmen. transfers, and readmitted students invaded Ulowell for orientation beginning on June 2nd. The Towers was their place of habita- tion for the overnight stay. Entertainment was pro- vided by Ed Priest and dis- plays of clubs and organiza- tions were held on the sec- ond floor of the building. Of course, registration was a i980 hassle, and the forbidden parties occured, but the biggest dilemma was how to eat the cafeteria food without becoming ill. Enrollment increased im- mensely this year, as you may have noticed. A lot of new faces filled the cam- pus. The enrollment for l98O-8I is 7,772, the largest population the university has experienced. j rr art f'-f--. + P1 h -1-lull t---V -f..Y,f ' 'W E T-'T TT YY E 1 I t .N .

ff ' --. TYO .gfg kgbqa X l in 5 4 F il- HF U l. owell Time 4CHU6 Reorganization Among many political changes which happen each year, there are a few which will affect our lives as col- lege students. One example of this is the increase in the drinking age. An- other more recent change is the structure of higher education. The present structure was established in I965, which consisted of each school having their own Power Board, Board of Trustees. They were the decision makers for the institution. The Board consisted of I5 members, I4 of which were ap- pointed by the govenor, and I, a stu- dent who was elected by the student body. Hefshe represents and voices the opinions of the students. The new system changes this drastically. All of the present Boards, as of March I, l98l will be dismissed and replaced by a 'Super Board. This Board will carry the name of Board of Regents. lt will be made up of I5 governor-appointed members with no student representa- tion. Under the reorganization plan, each institution will have one less powerful board composed of 9 mem- bers. Again with no student represen- . g--.s, 6 Volume I tation. This is a major problem be- cause no student opinions will be voiced in the policy making bodies. All decisions will be made by an ap- pointed board member, who usually is a lawyer, a businessman, or someone who Governor King owed a favor. The reorganization plan gives a tre- mendous amount of power to the Su- per Board, but it does not specifical- ly describe how this authority is to be used in all instances. There is still room for those with strong convic- tion to' influence the shape of things to come.
