Hall said he knew of two students from the College of Liberal Arts who wanted to take his courses for credit but were told by the dean they could not. Administrators from five of Texas A&M’s colleges had differing opinions on whether credit should be given for the courses. Dr. Richard Thomas, dean of the Col lege of Engineering, said, “If the student would gain intellectually as much off- campus with a course as he would on then we allow him to take the course.” He said that for a humanities or social science elec tive the Bible courses would be all right. Dr. Dwayne Suter, associate dean of the College of Agriculture, said that if a stu dent in agriculture wants to take an off- campus course of this nature, the dean and adviser consider how it will fit into the student’s degree plan and career objec tives, and how the student will use the course. He said students in the past have graduated in the College of Agriculture with credit hours in Bible courses on their degree plans. “The rules and regulations pertaining to the approval by the student adviser and dean is not intended to be a hindrance to academic freedom and responsibility,” Suter said. “Rather, the procedures are to encourage the student to make course selections after careful counsel to insure that courses selected are those to enable achievement of career objectives. “All of our students in agriculture need to take courses in the hunanities and social sciences. They will add a very important dimension to their professional educa tion,” Suter added. Dr. Diane Strommer, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts, said, “We do not allow simultaneous enrollment in our college. We don’t feel that there should be a student enrolled at two institutions at the same time.” She explained that would hinder stu dents from doing a good job at Texas A&M. The associate dean of the College of Sci ence, John Beckham, said, “I have had very few requests to take concurrent courses.” “We have (given students permission)in the past” to take off-campus Bible courses, he added. Because of the heavy course loads in the College of Science, Beckham explained that students are not encouraged to tike concurrent courses somewhere else. He said he could remember two stu dents this spring he gave permission to take off-campus Bible courses, and said these courses would be recorded as gen eral electives. Dr. Bill Lay, director of admissions, said if students are going to enroll concur rently at another institution while enrolled at Texas A&M, and take the course or courses for transfer credit, they must have prior approval from the dean of their col lege. Lay explained that the hours on the permanent record or transcript do not necessarily apply toward graduation or the student’s specific* degree plan. Russian official Vhci V.
