Schools may set lit College; By Bill Pratt Shortages of faculty and facilities are forcing at least three university colleges to consider some type of new admissions regulations within each college. Two of the colleges. Media Arts and Journalism, are waiting to chiriv enrollment fieures this fall before deciding whether new admissions standards are needed. But, the College of Nursing has set up administrative machinery which will determine if a student is qualified for the four-year program. Although Nursing Dean Betty M. Johnson did not have specific figures, she said enrollment has "increased drastically." "U/n oan nnt o PPfvm m nHnlp all V* V- VMII I IV/V UVW1IIIIIVMV??V v??a the students interested in nursing." Johnson said. Under the plan approved by the College of Nursing, a screening committee of nursing faculty will review each student's application in the spring semester of the student's sophomore year.

Johnson said no specific admission guidelines have been drawn up because it will be the '?? - ? < I spring Ul i?/o ueiurt; inc avitxuiug committee will be used. The faculty will then look at the three nursing programs -two-year, fouryear and graduate-and set admissions limits. Because laboratory facilities and faculty are limited, Johnson said, admissions limits have to be set. The nursing program has grown by 100 students each year since 1972. Total enrollment is now 1,100 students in the three programs. ine possiDiiuy 01 space anu faculty shortages has the College of Journalism and the newlyapproved Bachelor of Media Arts in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences considering Great Variety look Store Dealing td Books Hardbacks ?acks Jispensary 1-4739 .-Fri. 10am to 6pm Sat. 1-26 In Boardwalk Square CAROLINA GHT BUFFET 5:30-8:30 pm r reservations as, 15 salads, ibles, desserts, i.x L rrer, oeveroge sr person acuity, Staff and q nro wplf nmift University Dining Services "T"' wmi ttlMtti [missions limitting enrollments.

Scroggins said the college's 25 per cent growth this year to a total enrollment of 1,046 might cause the college to limit enrollment.

Until enrollment figures are studied, he said, no work will be done on the proposals. Media Arts will also be watching enrollment figures to see if they need to draw up degree entrance requirements. Media Arts is "something so brand new," Chester W. Bain, dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, said, "we don't know what the level of interest will be." But, he said, if enrollment does increase beyond the faculty's abilities, then some sort of screening committee, similar to that of the College of Nursing, might be set up.
