Elliott Lectures Ponder Red China
Hinton Kicksoff 3-Day Discussion
Dr. Singletary Advises Student
UNC-G Expands Under
Singletary s Guidance
Dr. Otis Singletary, Chancel-lor
of UNC - G, has not only
surveyed and supervised but al-so
instigated many of the rapid
changes which have occurred
over the past four years. Be-fore
his acceptance of UNC-G's
chancellorship in 1961, a few
changes concerning both facul-ty
and students were occurring
or being discussed. Within the
University's last five years
there has been over a 40 per
cent increase and expansion of
departments, faculty, and stu-dents.
Since 1960 the student body
has increased well over the 40
per cent, and is still expanding
each semester. The entire cam-pus
has grown twice its size as
much as within the past seventy
years of its existence. As t h e
number of students being ac-cepted
has increased, the ad-mission
standards have been
steadily raised, especially since
1960. Courses have been expoun-ded
upon to create a greater
interest to capable and eli-gible
students who wish to enter
or transfer from other areas
of the state, country, and foreign
domains. Along with this, the
amount of scholar funds effect-ing
these students has also in-creased.
There are more loans
and scholarships available now
to all levels of students than
ever before.
As the student body has grown
there is a natural demand for
a larger and better faculty. The
faculty itself has increased from
40-50 per cent. Just as the stan-dards
of the students' admis-sion
were raised, the standards
to be a qualified faculty mem-ber
were more discreet. Present-ly
the faculty has a higher per-centage
of its staff with doctor
degrees than in years past.
As the student body has grown

member were more discreet.
Presently the faculty has a high-er
percentage of its staff with
doctor degrees than in years
past.
With this increase of faculty,
offices and classrooms have
been added to the campus's
structual plan. There has also
been an increase in the admin-istrative
offices. The office of
Vice - Chancellor was estab-lished
during the past four
years. An office and Director of
Financial Aid was effected bv
the demand of the number of
increasing students. A Develop-ment
Office has been estab-lished
to aid in the department
of administration. A position
was created for the Dean of
Arts and Sciences. One of the
most advancing offices founded
was the Dean of Men.
There have been many ad-vancements
and improvements
accomolished during the past
four vears which will aid to
UNC-G's future betterment.
Nearly a dozen new Master De-crees
have been set UD: also,
there has been an ardent re-vision
of the Bachelor of Arts
Degree. Three Ph.D. Programs
were orpanized; and a 4-vear
Niirsine Program was recently
added.
As these advancements were
made, construction continued to
decrease the area available for
buildings. A1r»>ndv during t h e
nast four vears. $4 million had
been materlalizpd. Presently
th»> construction of th«> new
dorms and academic buildings
co«ts *7 million. Th« future nlan-nlng
ctage for construction is
$3 million. During th»> na«t vear.
the Univprsltv has requested a
total of MM milion.
To aid UNC-G's finance, the
total pmount of gifts in grants
and beque«ts have trioled over
th*ee last four vears. The Alum-ni
Giving Pro«Tam itself has ex-panded
sixfold. It's last gift to
the University amounted to 184,-
000.
