            major role to play in the implementation of the University's new Academic
            Plan. This will necessitate some reorganization in that office and the
            initiation of new records and procedures for strengthening student ad-
            visement. Dr. Charles F. Elton, present Dean of Admissions and Regis-
            trar5 has requested reassignment to the area of institutional studies. in

             College of Arts and Sciences

             freshmen entering the University and they will remain under the College's
             jurisdiction through their sophomore year, it is necessary that some re-
             organization and strengthening be effected in the student advisement and
