Execs mean
business in
PSU program
By LUKE GLUSCO
Collegian Staff Writer
Senior-level corporate executives
from all over the world will attend the
University's Executive Management
Program this summer, the associate
director of the program said.
Albert A. Vicere, associate director
of executive programs for the College
of Business Administration, said the
goal of the program is to improve the
abilities of upper-level executives to
manage a number of different func
tional areas in a company at the same
time.
Kenneth R. Graham, director of
executive programs for the College of
Business Administration, said exec
utives applying for the program must
be sponsored by their company. The
four-week program will cost $5,800
per person. Forty-two executives will
be accepted.
During the .four weeks the exec
utives will attend classes from 8:15
a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays and from
8:15 a.m. to noon on Saturdays, Gra
ham said. The program begins July 8
and ends Aug. 3, he said.
Vicere said the program, now of
fered at the University four times a
year, is third in quality behind Har
vard and Stanford Universities,
according to a survey of companies
ranked in Fortune 500 Magazine.
The College of Business Adminis
tration offers about 12 other pro
grams that companies can send their
employees to, Vicere said.

Some features offered by the system are 1) an admissions prospect
and application file where up-to-date status can be found on anyone
who has applied to the University; 2) a degree audit function so
students can see exactly which courses they still need to graduate; 3)
Under the new system, there is no arena registration in the
Intramural Building for continuing degree students. All continuing
degree students will register by submitting a registration request scan
form which is due by April 16, 1984. If effective, the new system will
increase the percentage of complete schedules (which is currently
Students should complete the Registration Request Form for Fall
Semester (bearing in mind that course priorities are assigned in the
order that requests appear on the sheet). Students must specify 2
alternate courses on the form which may be used as substitute
courses, if the 2 reference courses are unavailable. This completed
Registration Request Form for Fall Semester, 1984, must be submitted
by April 16, 1984. Upon submission by April 16, 1984, it may turn out
that it is incomplete or it contains some sort of error. The Office of the
l iniversity Registrar will contact the student by mail and will request
that the Registration Request Form be revised. Students missing the
Aprillci deadline for submitting the Registration Request Form will also
be contacted by the Registrar. All revised Registration Forms must be
submitted by May 4,1984. (Continuing students who do not submit a
Registration Request Form by May 4 will register late after the
beginning of Fall Semester and will be assessed a late Registration

complete his/her schedule. When the student has made his/her course
selections, he/she will call the Registrar's Office and tell the terminal

enter them into the computer. Before calling, the student should
prepare several substitute patterns and be prepared to work with the
operator to complete the revised schedule during the call. When a
