SPRING SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
As the Spring' Term draws to a
close, Highacres students are able
to look back in retrospect at a few
of the outstanding social activities
held during the last few weeks.
Last Sunday, June 2, a weenie
roast was held at Highacres Cam
pus. Mr. Whitney chaperoned this
afternoon event; typical picnic
food was the order of the day.
The Theta Sigma Pi Sorority
held its annual May Ball Saturday
evening, May 24. The S.U.B. caf
eteria was beautifully decorated in
keeping with the ball theme of
“South Pacific” and was a tribute
to the students who gave freely of
their time during the previous
week to create the setting.
High point of the evening was
the crowning of the Maq Queen,
Sorority President Kay Yencho.
Although the signs of another spring ripening into summer
are most welcome to Highacres students, the end of this term
also carries with it a poignant note of sadness. Many of us
here will 1 , in a very short time, have attended our last class on
this campus, drunk our last cup of coffee in the 5.U.8., and
perhaps said -goodby to a favorite friend whose path no longer
jruns parallel to our own.
It has been said that all good things must come to an end;
liowever, this comment implies that they must also have a
beginning somewhere along the chosen path. It is on this note
that the staff of the Highacres Collegian extends sincere best
wishes to the Associate Degree graduates, to those who will
transfer to the University Park Campus or elsewhere, .and Jo
those who will return here to fill our places in the fall. May you
find happiness and increasing satisfaction in the knowledge
that what you have acquired here is an invaluable cornerstone
to the house of learning in which we hope you will reside all of
your lives, if not in an actualclassroom, in practicing being an
informed and aware American citizen doing his or her best for
the benefit of self and country.
Many thanks to our teachers who have shared a part of
their learning with us and to our advisor, Mr. Price, for his in
valuable aid and understanding in helping us to put out this
publication. We hope those whose names next appear on the
masthead will enjoy the Collegian experience in equal measure.

HIGH ACRES COLLEGIAN
STUDENT POLL
Do you think the Federal
Government should inter
vene in Birmingham? And
if so, to what extent?
Judy Wagner Ist term
Special Education:
“I think the federal government
should intervene in the racial
problem in the South. As it has
got to end, someone has to step in.
If the state governments are not
going to take the incentive, then
I feel the federal government has
the right and should step in.”
Larry Lash 6th term
Business Administration
“If the crisis reaches a point
where there is no other alterna
tive, and if it would be for the bet
terment of the Negro race and
their relation with the whites, I
feel the federal government should
intervene.”
Susan Grow 2nd term
Liberal Arts
“No, they should not intervene,
because if the southerners had
been left to their own devices, the
racial problem would not be, be
cause it would have died out a long
time ago.”
Carolyn Egger

Phil Jeffries 3rd term
Liberal Arts:
“I don’t think the federal gov
ernment should intervene down
South, because the Negroes should
be left to work this out them
selves. They are making progress
a little at a time now. If the fed
eral government intervened and
forced the southerners to accept
integration, it wouldn’t be as ef
fective or democratic as if they
were left to choose for them
selves.”
College Determines
Number of Credits
Students are advised to keep
track of the number of credits
they have and also to determine
how many credits are required by
their curriculum for graduation.
Another requirement which de
serves attention is that the last 60
credits must be taken on main
campus at University Park.
Therefore, at the beginning of this
spring term, some of the sopho
mores were requested to sign a
paper acknowledging the number
of credits they had at that time,
and the required number for grad
uation. These were the students
who, due to the number of credits
taken at the Highacres Campus,
plus the required 60, would have
had more than the designated
amount for their curriculums.
The average number of credits
for several of the main colleges
includes: Agriculture, 130; Busi-

New College I
Created In
University
STATE COLLEGE The Col
lege of Chemistry and Physics will
be discontinued July 1 and the de
partments now included in it will
become parts of the new College
of Sciences, John R. Rackley, vice
president for residential instruc
tion, announced recently.
The new college will include the
departments of chemistry, physics,
biochemistry and mathematics, he
said. Statistics and computer sci
ence, scheduled to become depart
ments at a later date, will be part
of the mathematics departments.
Additional departments to be in
cluded in the College of the Sci
ences are botany, zoology and
bacteriology.
The formation of the new col
lege is a result of a Board of
Trustee decision in January. At
that time the Board decided to im
prove the University’s organiza
tion by grouping the University’s
non-vocationally oriented depart
ments and curricula into three
“core” colleges: the College of the
Liberal Arts, the College of Art
and Architecture and the College
of the Sciences.
In January, departmental reor
ganization was initiated with the
creation of the College of Art and
Architecture. This college grouped
together departments which were
formerly located in the colleges of
liberal arts; engineering and ag
riculture.
