IW U plans sessions
to aid class conflicts
Students with special scheduling problems have some new options
as a result of creative planning by one area university.
Texas Woman’s University has begun an evening and weekend
program for students who have accumulated at least 60 hours and who
hope to complete a bachelor’s degree within a short period of time, like
three to five years
“The formal program is designed to accommodate students who
cannot attend classes which meet at traditional hours,” Dr. Patricia A.
Sullivan, TWU interim president, said.
Scheduled times for classes will be on one night each week, on
Saturdays or in a short course format that meets for three weekends.
Students who require non-traditional scheduling—for example,
those whose job schedules do not allow them to attend classes during
the university’s regular operating hours—will find the new program
especially beneficial, Sullivan said.
Begun on a trial basis last fall, the program includes offerings in
business, economics and government. It will be expanded to include
accounting, finance, management, marketing and legal assistant/para-
legal programs, Dr. Derrell Bulls, chairman of the department of
business and economics, said.
“We want to ensure that we provide a few quality programs at first
before adding to this program,” Bulls said.
The new evening and weekend program should prove helpful to
those who have new career opportunities but need to continue taking
classes, he said. About 30 students are now enrolled.
“The impetus for this program came about when officials at TWU
began paying heed to women voicing their concerns about career verses
college degrees,” he said.
The new program complies fully with the Equivalency Agree-
ments and Articulation Agreements between TCJC and TWU, he said.

Candidates on slate
for board positions
for TCJC district
Dincumbents and one at-large candidate
are vying for two places on TCJC’s Board of
Trustees, the district’s governing body, in the
upcoming May 7 election.
In Place 6—area representing the Poly,
Meadowbrook and eastFort Worth neighbor-
hoods—incumbent Dr. Gwendolyn Morrison
will run unopposed. Morrison, a personnel
administrator in the Fort Worth Independent
School District, has served on the board since
1976.
In Place 7—the Wedgwood, Hulen and
southwest Fort Worth neighborhoods—in-
cumbent Louise Appleman and Ed Canas, an
attorney, will seek election. Appleman, a
relocating specialist, has served on the board
since 1988.
As stated in the TCJC Policies and Pro-
cedures Manual, the Board of Trustees “is the
governing body of the district; and has the
final authority for adoption of district poli-
cies, budget, faculty and staff appointments,
construction, and all other matters of devel-
opment and operation.”
The terms for Places 1,2,3—held by J.P.
Zepeda, Dr. J. Ardis Bell, and Tom DeMarest,
Jr., respectively—expire next in 1996.
