Harve D. King became assistant dean of stu- dents in the fall while M. C. Sutton, former dean of men was appointed dean of students. Post Changes Define Duties for Efficiency tcontinuedt Dean King said that the reshuinng clearly defined the duties of the staif so that assign- ments could be carried out more effectively. One of the major projects of the Student Services Division this year has been the re- vision of the student code of conduct. The rules have been clarified and now appear in written form. Students may appeal any de- cisions they consider unfair. Also, new freedom in class attendance was given to the student with the publication of new university rules on absences. After a thorough revision of the University Class Attendance Policy, the faculty senate concluded that responsibility for class at- tendance rests with the student. As a result, attendance reports are no longer submitted to the Registrar and students are to be graded on the basis of intellectual effort and performance. Dr. J . J. Spurlock, Vice president for aca- demic affairs said, ttThe change in philosophy is putting more responsibility on the student and minimizing the university in loco par- entis? Previous rules had been in effect for twelve years. tcontinuedt Miles Anderson, Assistant Vice-President of Academic Affairs

Dean King, who is originally from Denton, has been a public school educator for 22 years. One of his jobs is dealing with the federal work study program and on-and off-campus jobs for students. Dean King works closely with the Texas Employment Commission and the Denton Chamber of Commerce. I hope that we can provide job openings for every student that needs one? he com- mented. Unfortunately, there are not always enough jobs to go around, and I feel that there are more students in need of financial assistance than those who apply. tcontinuedi Jack Wheeler Associate Dean of S tudents
