Dr.

Shane Announces:

Dear Students:
TUI Tl ON
In the last issue of The Merciad, I pointed out the
efforts being made by the administration and the
budget and finance committee of the Board of
Trustees to present a budget proposal to the entire
board which would achieve two basic goals: 1) to
keep the tuition increase as low >as is fiscally and
humanly possible, and 2) * to present a balanced
budget, which is a financial imperative, v
I am pleased to announce at this time that the
Board of Trustees has approved the recommendation
that tuition be increased only 8 per cent next year.
Thus, the tuition will increase by $165 a year, from

$2,035 to $2,200. In addition, there will be a $30 in- its student and faculty representatives for their ef-

Minor Proposal Passes Senate

\ The Mercyhurst College Senate has given Its ap-
proval tol a proposal by the; Academic Policies
Committee which will establish a voluntary system
of academic minors at the college.
Under the new plan, which was approved at? the
Senate's April 30th meeting, students will now be able
to take a minor concentration in any field outside
their major. Completion of a minor program will be
certified on the participating studenrs itranscript
upon gradua tioa
According to Dr. Robert Cisek, of the Academic
Policies * Committee, participation in a minor
program offers students a number of advantages;
1) It provides additional curriculum'structure for
those who desire it. 2) Training and certification In
more than one field may enhance employablity, 3)
Students wlllibe able to pursue areas of interest
which are outside their major. W 3
Dr. Cisek stressed that the minor program is a
Dr. Robert Cisek completely optional one—students are in no way
required to take a minor concentration."He did note
that a minor concentration or combination of minors
cannot be substitued for a major.
When questioned as to who would administrate the
minor programs. Dr. Cisek responded that the
programs would be the responsibility of the various
department heads. The department heads will draw
up the requirements for the minors in their fields, but
in no case will the number of minor courses require
exceed the eight courses stipulated In the Academic
Policies Committee proposal.
Dr. Cisek noted that the idea of an academic minor
is not a new one: in the past it has been possible for a
student, working closely with their academic ad-
visor, to develop a minor program. What the new
minor program accomplishes is a visible structure to
the minor, which will be noted on the transcript and
will indicate a definite level of competence in the
minor field.
