At the PUC they will probably give the "head count" enrollment figures showing we are ahead of last year. The faculty will have to fight for the credit hours generated to calculate the FTE that will probably be the same or down form last year.

The chapters in this book are getting so predictable.

Enrollment reporting in FTEs should be mandatory.

This is just one example of a reporting standard that the Faculty Senate and other faculty bodies should be insisting on, so administrators are no longer able to misrepresent the condition of the university to the IHL Board, the press, and the publc.

What have you been smoking? This is Mississippi, Robert. Here at Southern Miss, we like to use the Shelbeethian method of computing student enrollment. FTE's? We don't need no stinkin' FTE's down here. You need to make a visit to the Burg, and spend some time with Drs. Thames and Malone. Then you'll understand.

Are them outside agitators down here trying to make trouble for us?

Try to make sure #7 gets done, even if you have to stay over.

Yes, the interesting Faculty Senate questions usually come at the end. I hope SFT doesn't have to run out early again. I heard the Hattiesburg American will attend and so may I.

I think SFT will have a powerful urge to run out early....
