class was called by Goff Smith, pres-
ident, for 7:15 p.m. today in Room

several students for larger diplomas.
For the past several years all col-
leges have been receiving small di-
plomas, 14 by 8 inches. The proposed
diploma is approximately 24 by 18
inches. Smith will have both di-
plomas at the meeting.
