Nunemaker college to boost CWC

campus three years ago with the creation of Centennial College as the pilot program for the division of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences into five smaller colleges. The four remaining colleges were organized in 1967. Initiation of the program was assisted by a three-year, $288,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation in New York.
In 1966, 456 entering freshmen were selected at random for the pilot program. The group contained an equal number of men and women. The men were placed on three floors of Ellsworth Hall
and the women on three floors of Oliver Hall.
The only controls used in the selection process were that the students chosen were enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and that no high school had a disproportionate representation.
Adviser blocks containing 10 Ellsworth men and 10 Oliver women were formed. Those 20 persons shared the same adviser and enrollment time. The same persons also were placed in the same English 1 section. All other introductory courses were sectioned on the basis of residence.
Another 456 entering freshmen were selected to be used as a control group in the experiment.
In a statement released by Centennial College administrators concerning the pilot year, the control group was reported having a 10 per cent dropout rate compared to Centennial's 4 per cent. The control group recorded a 1.15 grade point average compared to Centennial's 1.26.
A statement by George Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, published in a pamphlet describing the CWC program reads: "The general aim of the College-

The vanguard of the protesters passed the flood-lighted White House guards and a heavy detachment of regular city police in silence and without incident.
It took leaders of the procession approximately two and a half hours to complete the walk from the Arlington Cemetery gates to the Capitol.

The relatively smooth, but crater-pocked terrain Conrad and Bean will explore is 954 miles west of the Tranquility Base established by Apollo 11's pioneering moonfliers, Neil A. Armstrong, and Edwin E. Aldrin, four months ago.
Conrad and Bean will spend 32 hours on the moon—10 hours longer than Apollo 11's stay—and they will conduct two $3\frac{1}{2}$-hour moonwalks up to a half mile from the landing craft Intrepid. If they have time they will inspect and return some parts from the robot Surveyor 3 spacecraft that landed there $2\frac{1}{2}$ years ago.

Conrad and Bean also visited their wives and children who were on hand to watch the shot. The Gordon family remained home in Houston.
Flashes of lightning from a passing cold front lit the sky during the night, but ground crewmen were not slowed in their awesome task of priming the world's mightiest space machine for flight.
The workers already had accomplished the job that Bean thought "couldn't be done" when they replaced a leaky hydrogen tank in the command ship. By 10 p.m., they had recouped the time lost in the repair process and Apollo 12 was back on its original timetable.
Lewis said the program had also been successful in introducing new curricula opportunities and in bringing senior faculty members in contact with freshman and sophomore students in a small group situation. Lewis called the small class situation active as compared to the passiveness of the large lecture group.
Each college office contains representatives from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences office and the offices of the dean of men, dean of women and the registrar.
"He has the opportunity to be in a class with persons he lives with instead of students dragged from a cross section of the University," he said.
All the colleges offer courses which deal with contemporary problems and situations, national and local in scope.
"We found that their curricula was so strict that we could not help them very much," a Pearson College spokesman said.
"We have simplified most of the administrative process," Lewis said. "The student now comes to one office for most of his needs."
North College is offering a course in non-violence this semester. Pearson College has a program in which the three beginning English courses deal with classical, rather than contemporary literature. Corbin College offers required courses taught entirely in Spanish.
"The heart of the campus is the classroom," he said. "The freshman and sophomore years are very critical. This is when the students learn what education is about, and we hope they don't get the idea that higher education is a large lecture."
The pamphlet listed the objectives of the CWC program as (1) more intimate administrative-faculty- student contact (2) educational, experimentation and innovation and (3) the encouragement of out-of-class contact.

Lewis estimated the enrollment in each of the colleges at 1,000 students. The need for direct communication has become greater today, he said, and this has been one area where the CWC program has proven to be ahead of its times.
One of the largest problems facing the CWC program, Lewis said, was the need for funds to bring more senior faculty into the small seminars.
Pearson College, during its first year in existence, attempted to include engineering students in the CWC program. Ordinarily, engineering students enroll in the School of Engineering during their freshman year and are excluded from the program. The 30 students were kept in the same adviser block for one year.
Lewis said there was evidence of intelligent interaction outside of class which didn't exist before initiation of the CWC program.
Jerry Lewis said that these objectives, to a large degree, had been accomplished during the last three years. The several administrative offices at the freshmen level have been decentralized, he said, and the personnel made available to the students.
Students are assigned to the different colleges according to the location of their living group. Fraternities are assigned on the basis of geographical location and the scholastical standing of the house. Each house is ranked in one of five different groups of achievement. Fraternities from each of the different groups are assigned to each college. Sororities are not included in the colleges because women cannot pledge until their sophomore year. Students not living in organized living groups are assigned at random.
Lewis said a CWC student was a member of a group of 1,000 students instead of 9,000.
"If the University continues to grow, however, we may have to create additional colleges," Lewis said.
