The group considered trading two pieces of park land on Welch Street for 2 acres of land containing College Station’s old school building, which would be used as a city civic center.

Students who do not comply with these requirements will have their future registrations blocked. They will he allowed to register only after receiving a favorable recommenda tion from the departmental review committee, (not the student’s advis ory committee), the endorsement of the department head and the approval of the dean of the Graduate college. The guidelines also state that under unusual circumstances, a stu dent may petition for a leave of abs ence. If it is granted, the registration requirement will be set aside during the period of the leave. Furth ermore, leaves will be granted only under conditions that require the suspension of all activities associated with the thesis, dissertation or re cord of study.
