Curriculum Changes Announced
Continued from page 1
land law and will be directed
toward those students who plan to
sit for the Texas bar examination
and practice law in Texas.
Since the fields of wills, trusts,
and estates are interrelated, it is
believed that students will gain a
better understanding of the sub-
ject matter if these subjects are
considered together in one
course. Hence, the courses in
Wills and Trusts will be combined
into a four-semester-hours course
entitled "Wills, Trusts and
Estates."
The subjects currently taught
in Sales and Bills and Notes will
be re-allocated between a four-
semester-hours "Commercial
Law I" course and a three-
semester-hours "Commercial
Law II" course, in order to give
the material more logical treat-
ment and to include new subjects
of current significance.
The Bankruptcy course will
continue in its present form, and
Creditors' Remedies will be re-
duced in weight to two semester
hours credit. A new three-semes-
ter-hours offering designated
"Consumer Transactions" is to
be added to the curriculum.
The present designations for
the Criminal Law I and Criminal
Law II courses are to be altered to
correct any possible confusion as
to their content. The beginning
course in substantive crimes will
hereafter carry the designation
"Criminal Law," and the course
dealing with criminal procedure
and constitutional criminal proce-
dure will be designated "Crimi-
nal Procedure."
To allow a more adequate
consideration of the important
subject of the taxation implica-
tions involved in the formation,
operation, re-organization and
dissolution of business entities,
the seminar in Business Taxation
will be converted to a standard
course carrying three semester
hours of academic credit.
In order to enable those current
students who wish to pursue their
education under the present
catalogue to do so, we will offer
the discontinued courses in Per-
sonal Property, Real Property I
and Trusts during the summer
and fall semesters of 1980. Those
students desiring to utilize the
required courses called for in the
present or an earlier catalogue
should be certain to enroll in
Personal Property or Real Prop-
erty I during one of those
semesters, in the event they need
to complete the course for
graduation. Wills and Real Prop-
erty II will also be offered during
the Summer Semester 1980. Since
Wills, Trusts and Estates and
Texas Land Titles contain the
essential contents of the courses
they supplant, students may take
them in the Fall Semester 1980
and thereafter in lieu of the dis-
continued courses. Also, any
student who has previously taken
either the course in Wills or the
course in Trusts, but not both,
will be given the opportunity to
take the new course in "Wills,
Trusts and Estates" in the Fall
Semester 1980 and the Spring
Semester 1981 for three semester

committee, said that meter maids
deliberately harassed STCL stu-
dents by waiting around during
class periods to see which stu-
dents could not fee the parking
meters.
"I've had two parking tickets
issued within 10 minutes of each
other. We are asking for a stop to
the harassment."
On a related topic, Holt told the
council that, although there have
been five assaults on STCL
students since January, still

security in the form of police
patrols in the area is almost non-
existent.
"You don't see any police
officers patrolling the area after
5:30. Half the time they are riding
around in cars, giving parking
tickets themselves. Police officers
are needed for security, not for
giving parking tickets," Holt
said.
Marc Hill, president of the
Student Bar Association, said he
felt the 60-day moratorium was
the most appropriate part of the
petition to adopt because so many
parking tickets were being
"People are coming here to
plead equality. We are pleading
that we want an education. We
are trying to become leaders. We
can't do that very well with meter
maids bird-doggin' us," Hill said.
The council only let four
members of the Student Parking
Committee speak before it re-
cessed. Hill was still speaking
when some of the council mem-
bers left the room. The only
commitment the students ob-
tained from the council was a
promise to look into harassment
by meter maids and poor security.
Council member Christin Har-
tung summed up the council's
reaction to the committee's alter-
nate parking proposals.
"The council can't act on these
proposals without prejudicing the
rights of the rest of the com-
