Members of the School of Business faculty present papers to other faculty members, or at a subject in depth and bring it to the atten- tion of the rest of the faculty, said Dr. Charles Ehin, dean of the School of Business. High Tech Marketing was presented by Nancy Panos Schmitt, associate professor of Marketing.

A paper on Committee Evaluates Stammer Semester Continued from page 10 Kuusisto said one mentioned item was the fact that summer school was not being promoted enough. Schedules need to be sent out earlier and the session needs more publicity, he said. The task force meets every Friday morning and has drafted several sets of recommendations according to Kuusisto. The question of whether May term should remain a part of the curriculum or be abolished is still causing considerable discussion at the meetings said Kuusisto. . Some students were invited to attend 31 meeting to air their opinions concerning May term. Those attending were: ASWC representatives, Kathy Schultz, Rick Andrae, Angie Russell, and Merri Lee Barton; others included: Dave Humphrey, Todd and Christie Tapper, Joe Stewart-Mash- , Wallmueller. Kuusisto presented two options regarding May term. The first consisted of eliminating .. May term, replacing it with an eight to twleve week course, with a one or two week course in May. Perhaps to compensate for the loss of free classes, a class load of seventeen hours could be taken during other semesters without additional charge. The second option presented by Kuusisto was to keep May term, concurrent with summer school; offer courses in the afternoons; and offer no Liberal Education (LE) courses, or only offer them every other May term. the-Octob- The students seemed to overwhelmingly prefer to keep May term. The reasoning included: the fact that no financial aid is offered during the summer, seventeen hours were too big a load, and that May term classes are free while summer school is not. Other points brought to the task forces attention were: May term is good for picking up extra hours for graduation, after noons werent convenient for everyone, and many of the field trips offered during May term were too long and too expensive. Discussion also centered around LE courses, whether they should be taught in the summer or if the shorter time period made some courses too intense. Kuusisto agreed that May term was used by a number of students on the verge of graduation. He also added that field trips should be The papers are presented on a voluntary basis and they "are designed for according to Ehin. Each member of the faculty presents about one paper each year.
