: 1966 will be presented to the student body Monday night
[at 7 p.m. in Finch Fieldhouse. This will be the only time
the candidates will be presented together before the Tues-
|day election.
"This is the opportunity for the student body to see
[the candidates and judge.them on more than their posters
and publicity campaign," said Cindy Charlebois, Bay City
[junior, chairman of the assembly.

Elections Oiler
Little Contest
Only two freshmen and soph-
[omore class office positions
and three off-campus Student
Senate districts have opposition in the general election
Tuesday, according to Greg
Merwin, Grand Haven junior,
[election chairman.
"If a particular district or
j office is not contested," says
Robert Ballard, student body
president, "it would "be very
easy for a person who wants
to take part in student government to win with a write-
| in campaign."
Scope is the only party offering a slate of candidates
for the freshman class. Running for president is Donald
Schnell from New Lothrop;
vice president, David Arger-
singer of Sheridan; secretary,
Bonita Morrison of New Haven and treasurer, Cheryl
Martin from Hubbardston.
Two independent candidates,
Robert Burger and Richard
Gaille, both from Dearborn,
oppose Argersinger in the race
for vice president.

chairman stressed.
The assembly will be run
along the same line as the Miss
America Pageant. Each girl
has submitted a short biography of herself and a panel
from the Homecoming Steering Committee has drafted
three questions for each contestant based on her background.
The girls will wear formal
gowns and will be presented
by their sponsoring groups.
Joe Sweeney will be the master of ceremonies.
The queen and her four

Enrollment Up 23.5%
828 In Grad Program
A 23.5 percent gain in enrollment in the School of
Graduate Studies was reported
this week by Dr. Olaf A. Steg,
dean of the school. He revealed a total of 828 students had
enolled for the 1966-67 fall
term in comparison with a
total of 645 last fall.
On-campus registration for
graduate studies numbered
419, a significant increase over
last fall, Dean Steg pointed
out. These students are those
who are on a full-time course
of study in graduate fields.
In addition, 409 are part-
time students working toward
advanced degrees and attending classes on campus on Saturdays and evenings.
Dean Steg credited the
growth of the graduate school
in a large part to the growing
eminence of the faculty in their
special fields of study and the
students who recognize the
faculty's reputations through
research and publications in
their various disciplines.
"I   am    especially   pleased
with the growth of the graduate school for this reason,"
Dean Steg said. He added that
the projected estimates of enrollment had already outstripped what had been expected in projections prepared
in 1966.
He said that the 1965-66 annual report anticipated a fall
enrollment of 775 and for
spring 1967, a total of about
900. "This estimate probably
should be revised upward by
about 50 to 75," Dean Steg
said.
The National Council on Accreditation of Teachers Education gave its approval for
Central Michigan University's
program in teacher education
in   1963    and  the   University
gained admission to the Council of Graduate Schools in the
United States in 1962.
Continuing its development
through the intervening years,
the University now offers its
students a choice of more than
30 curricula and five graduate
degrees. A master of arts degree is offered in 11 academic
areas in addition to the 11
curricula under the jurisdiction of the School of Education.
With the exception of the
master of music in Music Education and Supervision, and
the master of arts in Home
Economics and in Psychology,
the programs have been fully
accredited by the North Central Association.
