H" points out that the parade is probably viewed by more people than any other single event. "You don't have to spend $250 on a float either," he stated. All that is needed, according to McBride, is "some original thinking." The gypsy parade will follow a new route this year, beginning on Third Ave. N., and continuing down Main St. to Sixth Ave. There the parade will proceed to Arch St., where it will dis-band. State St. will serve as an exit for traffic. The 26 high school bands which will march will also disband at that point. A "float board," located in the Union, will be available for all organizations. Places and times for float work-sessions may be posted on this board. "The Gypsy Caravan" theme pro-mises to be a success if the parade is supported by each individual Northern student. and secretary of the board of trustees. Moulton assumed the USD presidential duties in July of 1966. Moulton's resignation reportedly came as a surprise to the Board of Regents. Charles Burke, president of the South Dakota Board of Regents, announced that an acting president would be appointed before the resig-nation date. Moulton's stint at the helm of USD was controversial. John Penne, South Dakota State Auditor, cited 29 criti-cisms of USD fiscal policy in March of 1968. The Regents reviewed the au-dit and received a motion by Dona LAST YEAR the Committee on Un-dergraduate English Curriculum investi-gated the feasibility of revising all aspects of Northern's English program. The results of their investigation and proposals for revision were evident to the majority of English majors and minors during this fall registration. Dr. James Pruitt, chairman of the department of English, outlined the major changes under the new curricu-lum. An English major now requires the completion of 32 rather than 30 hours with the elimination of Speech 10 and Sophomore Literature from the program. In addition, English majors are required to take General Semantics, Advanced Composition, Comparative Grammar, and Principles of Literary Criticism. Pruitt stressed that all English stu-dents who have not yet officially de-clared their major and minor with the Admissions Office will complete their Brown of Huron not to rehire Moulton beyond July 1. After a withdrawal of the motion due to the absence of a board memi,er, the motion was rein-troduced at a later meeting. Some 1,800 USD students and fa-culty demonstrated in support of Moul-ton. After suggestions to reconsider the motion, the Board voted to rehire Moulton for one year at an Aberdeen meeting. The vote was 4-3. During Moulton's term of office USD tem-porarily lost preliminary accreditation of its doctoral program. The Regents stated the temporary accreditation loss in no way reflected on Dr. Moulton. program under the new curriculum. However, he feels all sophomores un-der the old program should carefully study the new curriculum. The new English program was put into effect after approval of Northern's faculty committee, department chair-men, a committee of all state college Presidents, and the South Dakota Board of Regents. Curriculum revisions came after the recognition by the Committee of Un-dergraduate English Curriculum of several problems hindering the effec-tiveness of the former program. Eng-lish students were burdened with an overload of preparations and classes resulting from the abundance of two hour classes. Survey courses dominated the literature department. In commenting on the revision, Pruitt stated that he felt the changes would give the English students more freedom along with a more compre-hensive background. DR. EDWARD Q. MOULTON formally announced his resignation as president of the University of South Dakota before a USD faculty meeting Sept. 12. The resignation will be ef-fective Nov. 21. Moulton will leave his $26,500 posi-tion returning to Ohio State University as executive assistant to the president McBride encourages students to support Gypsy Day parade Credit hours increased English curriculum revisions approved for NSC students
