The 5e Green of business affairs has asked SGA President Steve Hill to appoint three students to work with him on a detailed engineering plan for the proposal. "This is the first time I have seen the city .and the ad ministration in favor of a Green Street solution," Brunton said. At the Board's summer meeting University officials told the Board members the athletic department is expected to show a deficit of $150,000 to $200,000 for this fiscal year. Overlapping salaries of two Smooth Monday occurred in the graduate school. Some students had not realized it was necessary for them to apply for readmission to' the university and had no registration packets. Overall, however, Mit chell said that it was a smooth registration. He noted that students who had pre-enrolled for courses during advisement in the spring generally got through quicker. An estimated 70 per cent of the students took advantage of pre-enrollment. Freshmen attending orientation this summer will take part in USC's first attempt at complete computer registration. Mitchell said this will be a "trial run" and even if it is successful, computer registration would probably not be used for the whole school before fall 1976. Mitchell said, "In order for computer registration to work for the whole university, we must have a master schedule which every department will stick to." Already 400 changes have been made in the fall schedule since advisement. Although computer registration is not the perfect solution to all registration hassles, it would eliminate your discovering at the last minute that a course is closed or the time has changed. "Ideally," said Mitchell, "you could register in the spring for all of your fall classes."

The overlap in salaries occurred when Paul Dietzel resigned as head football coach after last season. Some members of his staff remained on the payroll until the end of the school term. When new coach Jim Carlen came in December he brought in an en tirely new staff. The scoreboard, purchased prior to the past football season and costing about $250,000 was set up initially to be paid for over a multi year period. However, Daetwyler said officials later learned that such an arrangement is illegal according to state regulations. Thus, the total sum was paid this year. Another revenue loss occurred in football gate receipts which totaled $35,000 less than projected revenues for '75-'75. Enough funds are available to absorb the deficit, according to Daetwyler. Calling the deficit a "one time experience" Board Chairman T. Eston Mar chant said, "We hope we won't experience this again. These two items are not recurring and with revenue projections minus them we do not expect another deficit." In other action the Board ap proved the permanent dropping of the sign-in sign-out requirement for registering dormitory visitors. The action was recommended by Paul Fidler, associate dean of student affairs, and based on a committee study during the past semester which found no ill effects when the rule was dropped on an experimental basis. The Board also approved a five year capital plan which em phasizes renovation on campus. The plan is required by the Commission on Higher Education and is not an official committment by the University. Vice President Brunton said, "The University is practically through its expansion era, but there are several buildings on campus that are below stan dards."

Also approved was $3.5 million to build an addition to the Biological Science Center to house expanded facilities for the College of Pharmacy if requested federal funds become available. Academically, the Board ap proved the establishing of a media arts program with bachelor and master degree offerings. The program must now go before the Commission on Higher Education. If the Board's version is approved the program's degrees will be offered by the College of Arts and Letters, the College of Education and the Graduate School. The program would utilize the existing media programs to form its curriculum and would be an interdisciplinary program related to, but not part of, the Colleges of Education, Journalism and Arts and Letters. "We will need little additional funds for this and we feel the Commission on Higher Education will be receptive to it," University Provost Keith Davis said. Trustee Hugh Wells of Seneca reported to the Board on the status of the medical school saying faculty appointments and plans were being made for a January enrollment. In July the American Association of Medical Schools will send an accreditation team to USC to determine when the school may open. g Bell, Straight oot Cut irts $1.99 .99 and $3.99 LEVY'S r Most Anything AND 'CHES BREW dy And Assmblytt.
