Dean Alters CutRegulation
A change in the absence regulations for the new semester has been announced by Dr. E. V. Kjort, chairman of the committee on scholarship.
“One absence in excess of the number of credits in the course is to be considered excessive. Thus, four absences in a three credit course are excessive. (This includes absences for whatever cause.)
“After absences become excessive, the student may be withdrawn from the course on the recommendation of the instructor. The instructor will not recommend withdrawal until after consultation with the student. If the instructor then feels that the student should be withdrawn, he fills out a ‘withdrawal card’ writing in the reason, for withdrawal,, and sends it to the Dean of Men or Women, who in turn sends it to the Dean of the School in which the student is enrolled.
“Report of illness is still to be made to the*Dean-of Men and Dean of Women by the student”
Freshmen entering the University this fall will in all probability graduate on the site of the new campus. President Bowman F. Ashe has announced.
Construction on the skeleton structure now standing, which is to be one of the classroom buildings, is scheduled to begin this fall. By next year practically all academic classes will be held in the new building. In addition, the first units of the library and student buildings are scheduled to go up this year.
“This will mean a lot of shuttling back and forth,” said Dr. Ashe, “for while classes will be held on the new campus, the laboratories will remain on the old campus until the science building can be built. Housing facilities will not be ready either, but probably by the time this freshman class is finished, three-fourths of the activities will take place on the new location.”
The 245 acre campus which is laid out for 10,000 students is to be> divided into four general parts: education and administration, athletics, housing, and community. The educational and administrative buildings are to be built near the entrance to the campus, the athletic grounds will be located on the west side; the community center will be located to the east; and the dormitories and fraternity houses will face the lake between the athletic fields and community center.
“GET OUT AND WALK”
The layout was planned to eliminate a network of roads; they will skirt the campus rather than run directly through it. There will be a number of parking places on the edges, and the buildings will be set at convenient distances from the road and to one another. Covered walkways between buildings will provide shelter in case of rain.
Some special features of the new campus are the small apartment units for married veterans, the 300 yard-long lake and canal which divides the campus, and the manner in which the fraternity and sorority houses are to be placed.
Instead of making a sorority row or a fraternity row, we thought we would improve upon that idea. Each house will be built with a consideration of view and exposure primarily,” continued Dr. Ashe.
There will be an amphitheater along the edge of the lake as well as an indoor theater. The ahtletic grounds will be complete with tennis courts, boat house, field house, swimming pool, practice field, and grandstand. The banks of the canal will have moorings for small boats, and until the space is required for further building, there will be parkways on either side of the waterway. The community center will contain chapels of the different faiths.
The library will be the only building at first to be equipped with air conditioning, but the other buildings will be built with vents so that air conditioning may be installed at a later time.
Completion of the first classroom building has already been financed. Mr. George A. Brockway gave $108,000 for the building of the library, and Mr. Louis D. Beaumont contributed $50,000 to the building of the student club.
STYLE IS FUNCTIONAL
The architectural style of the buildings is to be adapted to the times and to South Florida’s special climatic conditions. Dr. Ashe terms the style “functional” rather than “modem.”
The campus, which will be as large as most state universities, has a frontage, along University Concourse of 4,870 feet.
