ky school iM Reporter
ia decisi jhe College of Business Adminis-
ppealec ra tion has begun an enrollment
iritran uanagement plan that requires stu-
in lents to earn a 2.5 grade-point ratio
knsaid n selected classes tea qualify for up-
ifspecif* aer-division classes and to declare a
strict i' xiajoi'.
agsdale, The enrollment management
ommend alan, which limits upper-division
ilasses to 3,000 students, will affect
d stude ill freshmen who enter the College
jrades i af Business Administration at Texas
iiudenis under the 1985-86 catalog,
somefoo The plan also will affect students
into asp ransrerring into the business college
itycoulo rom other colleges within the Uni-
R.v /ersity.
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.

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-

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.

“We are, like it or not, in great competition with Cali
fornia, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina and
New York, and if we don’t make the necessary invest
ments, the next decade will not count us among the
leading states in this nation,” Flawn said.
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.”
