among the Liberal Arts faculty
show-that a majority of the mem
bers are dissatisfied with the pres

. A faculty-appointed committee
composed. of John H. Ferguson,
assistant professor ' of politicail
science,/ chairman; L. Tremaine
Dunlap, instructor in mathematics,-
and Kenneth D. Hutchinson, as
sistant, professor of economics,
quizzed members of the group on
questions relative to registration
and scheduling.
Results nf jthe survey showed
that approximr/tely 70%' of the
faculty felt.:that the present re
gistration- set-aip was inadequate.
A. similar : number favored the
shortening of the drop-add period
to one week while 55 per
cent were in favor of adminis
trative control over section sizes.
