members and employees will
be honored by their fellow
workers at a rcceiption
Sunday, April 26. The twelve

of a heavier teaching load.
Dr. Orr has served as
diriector of summer sessions
and continuing education.
That administrative position
lias not allowed him to carry a
full teaching load as professor
of education. His appointment
as a professor of education
next year will permit him to

Social Security
Social security payments may
ultimately go "cashless." The
Treasury Department is already
experimenting with a direct de
posit program for social securi
ty checks. Such a program would
eliminate much of the paper
work currently required. By 1979,
the Treasury hopes to send the
deposit checks by computer tape
message flashed over the
Federal Reserve's wire system
to all regions of the country.
