“We have what we call a five-year accounting pro
gram,” English said, “after which, students are eligible
to become Certified Public Accountants.
“We have a lot of students taking second degrees
which entail about 30 more hours,” she said. “We also
have a lot of double majors.”
English also said attending summer school and be
ing on academic probation can affect a students’ abil
ity to graduate on time.
“Some students don’t choose to go to summer
school,” she said. “And some don’t clear for gradua
tion because of GPR.”
Jeanne Rierson, director of engineering student
programs, said students in the college of engineering
tend to graduate with more than the basic 137 hours.
“Most have about 150,” she said.
For example, some extra hours are from prerequi
site courses which do not apply to one’s major, but
are required before students can take upper-level
classes.
“There is a move in the College of Engineering to
lower the amount of required hours in the hopes that
in the future students will be able to graduate in four
years,” she said.
However, the college always encourages students
to participate in summer internships or co-op for two
or three semesters. This can add another year to the
expected graduation date.
Sheppard said students should see an academic
counselor as soon as possible to help plan their de
gree.
“Not all courses are offered every semester,” she
said. “If you paint yourself into a corner, you may
have to wait another semester to get that class.”
Groff said student athletes shofi

nities if any should come their wave

“She (McNeill) was fired for failure to per

Moore never gave McNeill permission to make

“She (McNeill) has not entered a plea; we are still

“She (McNeill) hasn’t been indicted yet ... that

Bush weighing federal welfare chanj
AUSTIN (AP) — Texas coffers
could collect more federal dol
lars by moving quickly to fulfill
requirements under federal wel
fare changes.
But questions about the final
impact of the recently passed
federal law have top state offi
cials cautiously weighing the
state’s next move.
Mike McKinney, Texas’ health
and human services commission
er, has recommended submitting a
state welfare plan to federal offi
cials as soon as possible.
That would start the process
under which the state would col
lect additional welfare dollars. But
the state also would have to start
moving people off welfare rolls and
submit to other federal require
ments tied to the additional funds.
Karen Hughes, a spokes
woman for Gov. George W. Bush,
on Wednesday said Bush and Lt.
Gov. Bob Bullock want to make
certain the federal ® e!
don’t override state
changes approved last)'®®
“The Legislature

fare reforms supersede
