President Fleming Gives
Report to Student Body
By JOHN WALLACE
In Assembly last Tuesday, Presi-
dent Fleming outlined for the stu-
dent body the current progress and
future plans for Southwestern Uni-
versity. Dr. Fleming’s purpose was
to “lay out plans and share reports”,
and he expressed his hope that his
statements would be heard and re-
peated accurately and in a responsi-
ble manner.
Beginning with enrollment, Dr.
Fleming noted that at present there
are 684 students, in comparison with
742 at the beginning of the school
year last fall. He stated that the
University Ls aware that a retention
problem exists and that this prob-
lem is presently being investigated.
Dr. Fleming called attention to the
fact that transfers are a customary
part of any college, and that grad-
uating seniors must also be taken in-
to account. At this past mid-term,
there were 13 graduates, 12 official
withdrawals, 18 transfers, and 47
who dropped out for other, reasons.
Proceeding then to the budget,
President Fleming stated that the
budget for the 1964-65 fiscal year,
which begins July 1, has been draft-
ed for the 1964-65 fiscal year, wliich
begins July 1, has been drafted by
tile Board of Trustees. This new bud-
get reflects a new, all-time high of
$1,400,000, an increase of $50,000
over this current year.
The new budget includes a 5 per-
cent across-the-board salary raise
for faculty. Dr. Fleming noted that
such a 5 percent raise has been ex-
tended the faculty in each of the
past three years that he has served
as President. He remarked that as
state-related schools give such rais-
es only biennially, Southwestern is
5 percent ahead of such schools.
Salary scales are released to the
faculty on February 1, and the fa-
culty then has a 30-day period in
which to decide whether to return.
President Fleming stated that such
an across-the-board raise each year
costs $40,000, which reflects the re-
turns from almost $1,000,000 in in-
vestments. Also stated was the fact
that last year there were only four
faculty changes.
Dr. Fleming announced that the
new catalogues, which will be out
in April, will reflect many changes
designed to pull Southwestern Uni-
versity even further into the con-
text of a liberal arts college.
It is hoped that some appointment
might be made soon, or by March 1,
to one or more of the three chairs
endowed last fall by the generous
Brown Foundation grant of $850,000.
President Fleming said. In addition,
it is also hoped that one professor
or two part-time professors might
be added to the faculty next fall.
The long-range plan is to add at
least one new professor each year
for the next ten years.
An announcement of calendar
events forthcoming then followed.
Scheduled for March 3-5 will be the
Wilson Lectures, with guest speak-
er Dr. Willis Tate, president of
9MU, who will deliver five ^lectures.
Spring vacation is scheduled for
March 20 through March 30, and
Homecoming is set for Saturday,
April 18, at which time it is hoped
the Landrum Memorial Foun-
tain can be dedicated.
Dr. John Ciardi, Poetry Editor of
SATURDAY REVIEW will speak
on the campus on Tuesday, May 5.
Baccalaureate and Commencement
sendees will be Sunday, May 31.
Bishop Eugene Slater of Topeka,
Kansas, will speak at Baccalaureate
and Senator John Tower, at Com-
mencement.
The announcement that there
would be no tuition raise for the
1964-65 school year brought a round
of applause from the student body.
Dr. Fleming requested! that the stu-
dent body, as well as faculty, re-
main aware of the recent fire at
the Mary-Hardin Baylor College ad-
ministration building which destroy-
ed most all of that school’s records.
People on campus should observe
maximum care to prevent fires, as
Southwestern boasts one of the fin-
est compilations of records in the
Southwest, some of which date back
to 1895.
Finally, Dr. Fleming requested
that all students seeking scholar-
ships and work programs should ap-
ply for such before May 1 for nexl
fall, and that the college could not
be responsible for providing finan-
cial aid to any applications received
after June 15. Also asked was of
organizations to leave their records
to their successors to provide for
smoother continuity, and that or-
ganizations should begin now to pre-
pare a schedule of events for the
fall that might be handed in to the
University before the close of this
term.
There have been, to date, already
190 applications to Southwestern Un-
iversity, an increase of 25 over that
of the same time last year.
