A:tter a year of complaints from students and fac­ultv
through ASNAU and the faeultvexecutive commit­tee,
NA U, as well as ASU and UofA ha !_e been granted a
new academic calendar.
The State Board of Regents approved the calendar
change as well as a revised budget, last Saturday
in Tempe. The "Four - One • Four" system pro­vides
for four months of school, one moth of vaca­tion
and another four months of school, and is
presently being used at New Mexico State Univer-

sit_y at Las Cruces, as well as other colleges and
\Bllversities across the nation.
The calendar dates which were drawn up by a
C?mmittee of six members, two from each univer­sity,
was according to Dr. Virgil Gillenwater ex­ecutive
vice • president, devised 'to get rid ~f the
two week lame duck after Christmas."
All three universities will follow the same cal­endar
as far as school months and vacations are
concerned, but there is leeway afforded in the

the new calendar is equivalent in semester
days to previous ones.
Problems that are foreseeable, but that will be
worked out with adjustment to the new system, ac­cording
to Dr. Gillenwater, concern the time ele­ment
between the summer session and the fall sem·
ester.
The calendar change was only one decision that the
regents took last week.
The board also proposed a $133milllonoperatingbud­get!
or the three universities, an increase of$18.6 mil­lion
from 1971 • 72. A portion of the $133 million, $101
million will be asked from the state legislature and
the remaining amount will be raised from student
fees and other income.
The regent's budget proposal, which must be ap­proved
by the legislature will be apportioned among
the universities as follows: NAU - $14.4. million
($1.4 million higher); ASU- $42.3 million ($4.1 mil­lion
higher); and UofA - $54.8 million (almost $6
million higher).
The discussions that were raised last year in favor
of on. campus birth control clinics were denied by the
board of regents with the argumentthattheydo not be­long
