Roy E. Lieuallen, chancellor of
the State System of Higher Edu

to the state’s colleges and univer
sities.
Of that amount, the Univer

million on the Eugene campus
alone.
Miles Romney, vice - chancellor
for academic affairs, got approval
of a recommendation to maintain
present admission standards
through the 1066-67 school year
and the state’s institutions.
Resident freshmen must have a
2.25 GPA to enter the University
fall term and a 2.0 during winter
and spring. Non-residents must
have a 2.75 during all three terms;
transfers need a 2.0 for resi
dents and a 2.25 for non-residents
during the three terms.
Romney stressed, however, that
marginal students may still be ad
mitted on the basis of college
board test scores or by satisfac
tory work during a summer term.
