ACC Adopts
New Policy
The administration has an
nounced that because of a
change in the policy of the col
lege those students who entered
this fall or who are re-admission
students come under a new aca
demic system. Therefore those
students will no longer be under
the possibility of academic sus
pension after the fall semester of
each year. Academic suspension
will only come at the end of
each Spring semester. That
means those students entering
this year or in future years will
be guaranteed of a year’s stay
at ACC.
However, those students who
are under this system will also
be subject to another new rule.
This rule states that on the
basis of their cumulative records
at the end of the spring se
mester, the following students
be declared uneligible to enroll
for the following fall term.
(1) Those students who have
attempted 27-44 semester hours
and who have a grade point
■average of less than 1.40.
(2) Those students who have
attempted 45-61 hours and who
have a grade point average of
less than 1-66.
(3) Those students who have
attempted 62-91 hours and who
have a grade point average of
less than 1.86.
(4) Those students who have
j attempted 92 and over hours
and who have a grade point av
erage of less than 2.00.
Further, that a student who
is ineligible under the minimum
requirements for continued en
rollment may attend the first
term of summer school. If he
is successful in raising his grade
point average to the required
average, he may enroll for the
following semester. A student
who does not meet the minimum
grade point average may attend
the second term of summer
school, but he may not apply
for re-admission to the college
earlier than the following spring
semester. The administration al
so announced that D’s are no
longer transferable to ACC.

Executive Board the basic structure of The Board of Trustees and how he felt relations between

Explains Duties,
Responsibilities
Of Trustees
Thomas J. Haokney, Chairman
of the Board of Trustees, was
guest speaker at the Executive
Board meeting this week. Mr.
Hackney’s presence was an at
tempt by the Board and the
President of the SGA to begin
improving relations and commu
nications between the Trustees
and Students.
In speaking to the Executive
Board Mr. Hackney first de
scribed the make-up of the
Board of Trustees, their areas
6f responsibility, and type of
actions they ,are allowed to take.
One of the recent changes in
the Board that Mr. Haokney
mentioned was the formation of
three committees within the
Board itself. These are the de
velopment committee, the educa
tion committee, and the finance
committee. Mr. Hackney said
that the formation of these com
mittees Will help to create more
informed .trustees, thus better
trustees. The purpose of these
committees, said Hackney, is to
make recommendations to the
entire body concerning the areas
in which they are concerned.
An example wbich Hackney gave
to illustrate their purpose, was
a proposal that bas been made
'by one of these committees to
establish a now Math Depart
ment. As it now stands the
Math and Science departments
are one.
The rest of the meeting con
sisted of questions and general
discussion, during which Mr.
Hackney pointed out that tihe
Trustees are going to do all
they can to back t)he adminis
tration, and that they prefer .to
have the administration operate
the college as far as disciplinary
actions are concerned. He said
that there are hardly any dis
ciplinary actions that even come
before the trustees. He said that
what does come under the
Board is any major policy
change that would be made by
the college.
He also noted that the college
has an $800,000 endowment fund,
but stated that this is really
not adequate. He stated that in
acuality the college is not weU-
off financially. He also stated
that even with this lack of funds
