Volume 20, Number 34 CALIFORNIA 93401 April 7, 1970 NEW ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE ANNOUNCED BY PRESIDENT KENNEDY A new academic organization for Cal Poly has been revealed by President Robert E. Kennedy. The new structure, which will take effect by the Fall Quarter, 1970, increases the num­ ber of academic schools at Cal Poly from five to seven and creates five new academic departments. President Kennedy said faculty members of the newly established schools and departments will be involved in consultative procedures for the selection of two academic deans and five department heads. The new structure provides for a new School of Business and Social Sciences and a new School of Communicative Arts and Humanities. New instructional departments to be formed are: Economics, Foreign Language and Linguistics, Philosophy, Transportation Engineer­ ing, and Women's Physical Education. Under the new academic plan of organization Cal Poly's academic schools will be: School of Agriculture and Natural Resources, administered by Dean J~ Cordner Gibson; School of Architecture and Environmental Design, Dean George Hasslein; School of Engi­ neering and Technology, Dean Archie Higdon; School of Human Development and Education, Dean Carl Cummins; School of Science and Mathematics, Dean Clyde P. Fisher; and the two new schools with deans to be appointed. (Continued on Page 2) MILITARY BALL PROFITS WILL BENEFIT VIETNAMESE ORPHANAGES Two orphanages in South Vietnam will soon benefit from the annual Military Ball staged by student members of Cal Poly's chapter of Scabbard and Blade honorary society for military science students. Checks totaling $200 were mailed last week for use in orphanages at Hue and Quang-tri City, according to an announcement issued by Cadet Capt. Martin Hatley and Col. William L. Hastie (head of the Military Science Depart­ ment). Col. Hastie said the checks are being transmitted through the wives of two present and former members of the college military science faculty. Mrs. Malcolm Wallace, wife of Maj. Malcolm Wallace (Military Science Department), for­ warded a check for $100 to the KinLong Orphanage, which is operated by the Catholic Church in Hue. Maj. Wallace formerly served in Vietnam as a member of the lOlst Air­ borne Division. The second $100 check has been forwarded to the Trui-Bru Orphanage in Quang-tri City by Mrs. Mark Riedinger whose husband, 1st Lt. Mark Biedinger, is pres­ ently assigned to Advisory Team 37 in South Vietnam. He is a former member of the Military Science Department faculty. (Continued on Page 3) Cal Poly Report April 7, 1970 Page 2 NEW ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE ANNOUNCED . (Conti~W~d· from Page 1) Responsibility for all departments and disciplines remains with the deans of existing schools until the apppi~tment of new deans, Dr. Kennedy pointed out. The reorganization process was begun in March,l969, and consultation with the Cal Poly faculty was conducted through an ad hoc committee of the Academic Senate, established in April, 1969. A tentative proposal for reorganization, distributed to the total faculty in January, 1970, was given a public hearing conducted by the ad hoc committee. President Kennedy said the new organizational structure "appears to be acceptable to a very substantial majority of all faculty members" and includes adjustments made to the original proposal as a result of -faculty input from all departments. The new organization, which will be reflected in Cal Poly's 1970-71 catalog, reflects the following alignment of schools, departments, and academic programs: The School of Agriculture and Natural Resources (MS Agriculture): Agricultural Man­ agement Department (BS Agricultural Business Management and BS Farm Management); Agri­ cultural Education Department; Agricultural Engineering Department (BS Agricultural Engineering and BS Mechanized Agriculture); Animal Science Department (BS Animal Sci­ ence); Crops Science Department (BS Crops Science and BS Fruit Science); Dairy Science Department (BS Dairy); Food Processing Department (BS Food Processing); Ornamental Horticulture Department (BS Ornamental Horticulture); Poultry Industry Department (BS Poultry Industry); Soil Science Department (BS Natural Resources Management and BS Soil Science); and Veterinary Science Department.

REPORT ASKS RESEARCH ON RURAL PROBLEMS More research should be directed toward the vital areas of inquiry where answers are needed to speed up rural development, according to a report on the effectiveness of present rural assistance programs released by President Richard M. Nixon's Task Force on Rural Development. Among the many recommendations made, the task force asked that rural development re­ search needs be met by a redirection of authorizations and funds allotted to low prior­ ity federal programs, and that the National Science Foundation award research grants to institutions showing greatest promiseof developing multidisciplinary rural community development as well as human resource development research programs. Copies of the report, entitled A New Life for the Country, may be purchased for 35 cents from the Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. - 20402. Typewritten copy rior to 12 noon Frida next issue of Cal Poly Report must be received in the Office of Information Services Adm-210. Cal Poly Report --April 7, 1970 -- Page 8 MUSTANG ATHLETES SLATE ROAD ACTION THIS WEEK A pair of golf matches that will find Coach Bill Hicks' Mustang linksmen hosting teams from California State College at Fullerton and Vandenberg Air Force Base are the only home events on the campus sports calendar this week. Led by the varsity baseball and track and field teams, which will be in Southern California for weekend competition, all other Cal Poly athletic teams will be on the road this week. Last week's action produced mixed results for Mustang teams. The brightest spot in the whole picture was the performance of Coach Ed Jorgensen's tennis team, which swept five matches in the first championship round robin of the California Collegiate Athletic Association's 1970 season. Victories over University of California at Riverside, Cal State Fullerton, San Fernando Valley State College, and Cal Poly at Pomona,give the Mustang netmen a 15-3 won-lost mark for the season and an inside track in the race for the CCAA crown. They journey to UC Riverside and Cal Poly at Pomona for matches this Friday and Saturday {April 10-11). Coach Dick Purcell's Cal Poly track and field varsity, a 94-51 winner over San Fernando Valley State last Saturday, journeys to Riverside this Saturday for ·a quadrangular meet which will find them meeting UC Riverside, Cal Poly at Pomona, and California State College at Los Angeles. The Mustang thinclads won 11 events en route to their rout of the SFVSC trackmen in the meet which took place on the campus oval. Next home action for the Cal Poly team w~ll be April 18 when it will play host to a powerful Fresno State College track team. A series which began on a high note. for Coach Augie Garrido's Mustang baseball varsity ended in disappointment last weekend. The Mustangs tagged UC Riverside with a 2-0 loss in the first of a three-game series, but dropped a pair of games {13-11 and 3-1) to the same team on Saturday. A sweep in the series would have boosted the Cal Poly nine into serious contention for the 1970 CCAA championship. Next home action for the Mustang diamond club, which will journey to meet Chapman College in a non-league series on Friday and Saturday, will come April 15 when it will host San Diego State College in a single game. Other action last week saw the Cal Poly golf varsity best Cal Poly at Pomona 34-20 in a CCAA match. That win gives the Mustang linksmen a 7-6-1 won-lost-tied mark for their 1970 campaign. They were to have met Fresno State's Bulldogs in a match yes­ terday (Monday, April 6) and will host Vandenberg and Cal State Fullerton on Thursday (April 9) and Friday, respectively. All three matches are slated for the San Luis Obispo Country Club links.
