.. ,.. Reporter s ervi ng the stud e nts , facul t y and staff of the roches te r in s titute of t e c hnology sin ce J 924 NO SPLIT-CAM PUS LIVING Many of the questions concerning new campus residence facilities and the possibility of a split-campus were answered this week by Dr. James Campbell, Vice-President, Student Personnel Services. \All students · who - fa C , U lty prom OS are announced have RIT has promoted four Associate Professors to full Professor effective September 1 : Jerry Young and Eugene Fram, College of Business Administration; and Robert Craven and Fredrick Henderson, College of Science. The coming school year will ~ a total of ten Assistant Professors promoted to Associate Professors: in the College of Graphic Arts & Photography, Walter Horne, Miles Southworth, Robert Webster, James McMillion, Donald Smith; College of Fine and Applied Arts, Donald Bujnowski, William Keyser; College of Applied Science, Chris Nilsen; College of Science, Russel Miner; College of General Studies, Norris Shen. Eight Instructors have been _ promoted to Assistant Professors: Thomas Greco, Gene Hoff, College of Business Administration; Pasquale Saeva, Jack Tishkoff, College of Science; Alice Kwiat, College of Fine and Applied Arts: Bradley Hindson, College of Graphic Arts and Photography; Nabil Kaylani, College of General Studies; Mario DiQuilio, College of Continuing Education. contracted to live in Institute res i dence facilities will live on the new campus. We have discarded any plans to use old campus housing facilities like NRH,\ said Dr. Campbell. The above statement was made Aug. 23 in the face of numerous rumors which have made the rounds of students this summer. Students have been aware of_ a series of construction difficulties which have plagued the residence halls, and as the date for Fall quarter approached it became clear · that all the residence facilities would not be complete. The original plan for the Residence Complex included . three facilities: 1) The North Tower, for male upperclassmen. 2) The South Tower, for female studimts. 3) The Low-Rise Residences, for male students, primarily freshmen. Construction - and · finishing operations (plumbing, electrical, painting) have been completed on the Low-Rise Residences, and they are currently being used by summer school students. The South . Tower is very close to completion, and will be ready for Fall quarter occupancy. The North Tower construction is, for . the most part, complete. However, finishing operations on this Tower are not complete and will prevent occupancy of the building for at least the first part of the Fall quarter. In order to house all students on the new campus, with the North Tower incomplete, the following housing schedule has been put into effect by the Institute: 1) All women students will be housed in the Low-Rise facilities. 2) All male student will be housed in the South Tower. 3) All freshmen will be tripled (three students per room) rather than the planned two per room. This \tripling\ policy will apply to both men and women freshmen. Dr. Campbell stressed the temporary nature of these arrangements saying, \As the North Tower facilities become available, we will move the freshmen, at Institu~e expense, and do away with the 'tripling' arrangement as quickly as possible.\ Plans call for an adjustment in room rates for those housed in triples. Arrangements made by upperclassmen for specific housing accomodations will be honored wherever possible, and plans have been made for increased security for the women students living in the . Low-Rise faciliti~. As anhounced at ''Meet the Dodge Boys\ assembly last May, the workshop and lab facilities in the College of Fine and Applied Arts will not be ready for the Fall quarter. Plans call for the use of the old campus for lab courses by A&D and SAC students. RIT has contracted for bus service, at Institute expense, as well as a noon meal for students forced to use the old campus facilities. THE STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK will appear at the \All-College Concert\ on Saturday evening, September 28, at 8 p.m. in the main gym. The concert is sponsored by OP-US and kicks off the school year. to try ne w reg i s tr ation According to George E.D. Brady, Institute Registrar, ther was a 3,821 group enrollment in last year's day school, 278 students enrolled in the summer session, and 10,318 evening school students. There will be, according to Brady, a sizable increase in students and thus registration procedures have been extensively streamlined. Students will no longer hike all over the campus to iron out their difficulties, all problems will be handled on thE spot with a rather sophisticated procedure that will be thoroughly explained during orientation week. Many feel this new approach to registering will be jubilantly greeted after suffering through , many disconcerting experiences in years past. Not only has Brady worked out an efficient method for registering, but he announced also the room and building numbering system. ''The first two digits will indicate the building. At present there are nine buildings in the academic complex. The third digit will indicate floor level, and the last three digits will indicate a room on a specific floor. \Room numbers will always increase in one direction no matter what floor one is on. Rooms will have vertical correspondence, that is, a first 0oor room numbered 01-1001 will be in the same relative position as a room numbered 01-4001. Brady contends that every effort will be made to make things as easy and as logical as possible . for all incoming students. - masters program RIT will launch its first master of business administration degree program in September. The program is specifically designed for employed persons who hold bachelor's degrees . .The program is being inaugurated as a result of requests from the Rochester business community. Plans call for the College of Business to begin a full-time inaster of business administration program in the future. May I share with you the enthusiasm of all now here, as I welcome you to Rochester Institute of Technology in this very special September of . 1968. It is a time when much of great significance has been achieved. It is also the time when everything that we have anticipated confronts us. At no period in the history of the Institute has the opportunity for personal and professional development been greater. ' CL E A N' CA MPAI G N O N MO VE With the fall opening, virtually all full - time students will be in complete occupancy of the new campus. It is expected that by January 1st, all facilities of all kinds will be in operation here. We will then have, as never in the past, a sense of community in collegiate - living. Th .i s September marks another milestone. All of us will welcome to our campus the first group of students who have joined RIT under the sponsorship of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. Many of you have already shown your willingness to make this welcome genuine. I know you will do all you can to meld this group into the RIT student body. New facilities, new people, new environment will all require adjustment· - a \shake-down\ period . Faculty , administration, and student leadership are well aware that 1968-69 will be a time for experiment and appraisal. Only as we learn by living in our new surroundings can long-range plans and programs be evolved. Some situations will call for patience; others will spark suggestions on your part for action to improve the condition. One thing is certain: we have a new campus of striking beauty, It will remain so as long as we keep it this way. Already we have a committee of student leaders concerned with campus care. They ask your help, as fellow campus residents, in keeping the grounds litter-free ; in respec t for buildings constructed out of contributions by generous friends of RIT and by recent alumni who would have loved to occupy them. My warmest welcome to the n _ ew RIT, of which you and your parents and your friends can be proud. With so much available to work with, this should begin the greatest epoch in the Institute's history . Mark Ellingson · President \It's a new, clean campus; how can we _ keep it that way? The answer to that question prompted the administration and student government to the inevitable solution: a committee, but a committee with a new twist and some very fresh ideas. Greg Evans, student president, and member of the Campus Clean Committee, ~tarted the program by enlisting the aid of 35 campu& leaders in a drive for personal involvement in a program of campus care . \Slogans an:c · repetitious reminders won't do the job; we need the wholehearted support of the students and you institute applies for ROTC Rochester Institute of Technology will apply for an ROTC program for the 1969-70 school year. The voluntary four - year program is designed to _ provide -training for potential military officers. The program also provides third and fourth year students with financial aid. as campus leaders by your example can gain that support.\ At a luncheon, two weeks before school ended last year, tpe committee introduced the Campus Care visual symbol, designed by Bruce Weinstein. The symbol will be used extensively in the campaign and is scheduled for prominent display around the campus as a reminder to students that the school will stay new and clean only as long as they care to keep it that way. A poster campaign will greet entering students. David Abbott, a recent Master's degree graduate of RIT, has designed a sophisticated, often humorous, series of posters to promote the clean theme. In an attempt to discourage indiscriminate posting of notices and bulletins, student government and the administration have appropriated funds and commissioned the design and building of a kiosk, to be situated in a central area on campus. Organizations will be encouraged to post their notices on bulletin boards in this strucute rather than on the walls of campus buildings. Plans also are underway for student-designed bulletin areas, to be constructed and placed in the individual schools.
