To qualify fear upper-division ik boan classes and before declaring a major, istance 1 1 student must have a 2.5 cumulative 3PR in a set of eight prerequisite Jasses. The 24 hours of classes in- ilude courses in accounting, busi- iess analysis, economics, manage- ••„..nent and math. Even if students earn a 2.5 QPR in the eight classes, they are not guar anteed admission to upper-division courses, says Dr. Samuel Gillespie, assistant dean of business adminis tration. The GPR only guarantees that a student’s name will be put into the pool of those who have qualified. At this time the plan will not keep students out of upper-division classes, Gillespie said, but, as the base of students in the business school increases, it will become more competitive to qualify for junior and senior level courses. Gillespie said students in majors such as accounting and finance tend to have higher GPRs and this could cause an overload of students in up per-division accounting and finance classes. If that happens a dispropor tionate number of students will want to take the same classes, causing a new problem, he said. The second part of the plan calls for an increase in faculty, Gillespie said. But, in the wake of budget cut ting proposals, limiting class sizes might be the only improvement for now, he said. These new limits will assure the degree offered by the business col lege will be comparable with the same degree offered at any other University, Gillespie said. The negative side of the plan is, that in the future, all the students who want a business degree from A&M may not be able to get one, Gil lespie said. The students in this posi tion will either have to change their majors or transfer to another school, he said. The plan was approved by the A&M Board of Regents at its No vember meeting, but before the re gents’ approval, the program was endorsed by business school faculty at a September meeting. tlT chancellor talks on cuts ,K efore Senate committee ErS'Kynended ■twice*) Associated Press AUSTIN — Chancellor Hans Mark of the University ^f Texas System said Tuesday if the Legislature wants save money by shutting down colleges, it had “better jJjgJiiit the big ones.” _“You cannot do it by looking at some of the smaller II UMI nstitutions,” Mark told the Senate Finance Committee. iLmfln M ar k. said Texas is spending $1.4 billion on 35 state 1TDC( alleges and universities during the current fiscal year, im!«a4nd$l. 1 billion of that total is going to eight colleges. He noted the Legislative Budget Board had recom- cutback of more than $300 million for Higher education in the next two-year budget, and he ~ d, “One way to get $300 million is to shut down the her 27 institutions, or you can shut down the Univer sity of Texas at Austin, I don’t know.” Laughter interrupted Mark’s presentation, and he :ontinued, “The point is, you’ve got large numbers.” He said even an alternative proposal by Lt. Gov. Bill flobby, which calls for increasing tuition, would reduce S(lt) higher education expenditures by $120 million. “I am thinking (there would be) some very severe cutbacks in the functional system or in shutting down some of the T6! 1 Kw' ar 8 er institutions. You can’t do it by making large en- nwrollment cutbacks,” Mark said. ■T President Peter Flawn of UT-Austin said the LBB ^^^Jirqposal would reduce the school’s budget by $57 mil- ffWjfflion, which would be the equivalent of 800 full-time fac- ■■■llTilty and 900 staff personnel. 8300 Hobby’s proposal would reduce the budget by $20 g poy, million, Flawn said, and “either proposal we would see sraio — if we elected to maintain the current quality of our ^programs — enrollment reductions; academic program ») smK/eductions. including a rather restricted summer pro- gram; curtailment of student services support; reduc- (P(r fion in research grants and contracts and inevitably a RESUME TIPS by Rosangela King A resume is intended to arouse an employer’s interest and allow you to come for an interview. We’ve been talking about resume formats and how they may vary to suit your needs. An INVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL form is the basic resume used by persons who have held several different positions with different duties. Here you list your most recent position first followed by the next previous one, and so on. Some people choose to include military experience in this section. I’d suggest you do so only if it relates to the type of work you are seeking. The TOTAL EXPERIENCE format is often used by people who have held a number of positions involving the same related functions. Your experience of a single kind should be expressed as a unit. This unit could be a list of functions or a paragraph, depending on what should reflect the best first impression. If each of your jobs encompassed the same functions, have a statement for each function rather than each position you held. Next week I’ll talk about and ENTRY LEVEL RESUME, the one most used by those about to complete their education. “Special note about the writer -- Rosangela King is a professional resume writer for Midland Heights Interna tional, located at 403 University Dr. W., at Morthgate, above Campus Phot6\ She is an English and Human Sci ences major with an extensive background in career de velopment and foreign languages.

Mark said a statewide hiring freeze for non-academic staff would produce only a savings of $30 million over 18 months, and delaying maintenance would save only $40 million, which he described as “false economy.” He said UT could save money if administrative offi cers were given more flexibility in managing funds, if the school could retain unexpended balances and carry them forward, and if UT was not so restricted in invest ing money from the Permanent University Fund. UT can now invest in only 1,600 of more than 5,000 stocks traded in the United States. “No doubt higher education is related to economic prosperty,” Mark said. He added that “the university system,,is the primary repository” for knowledge on the advancement of hu man health and welfare, and he described arts and sci ences as the “heart of the business of higher educa tion.” “Most of the leadership of this state are people who. have gone through courses in liberal arts, humanities, arts and sciences,” Mark said. He mentioned that 19 Texas congressmen, including House Majority Leader Jim Wright, cabinet members James Baker III and Dr. William Bennett, and U.S. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen are UT- Austin graduates. Asked if the Legislature should “overhaul” higher education as it did public schools, Mark replied, “The higher education system, particularly our public higher education system, is the envy of the world. “That is one of the things we’ve done right, so I don’t think an overhaul is necessary.” lap mb Ml MB MN ** WH MM sae own im mil mp am «n am w «■ mw a* ap mn Bm Mi MB Mi M* Mi Mi Ml Mi Mi Mi Mi Ml Mi Mi Mi gp ^ ^ ^ g Martel's 2 DA YS ONLY Coupon! !
