Fairmont State's Regent BA Degree Program Expands
Fairmont State College is among ten institutions offering the non-traditional Regent BA Degree Program aimed at adult learners seeking career growth and personal development. It credits on-the-job experience and training, along with prior college credits, for college-equivalent credit. More than 3,000 credit hours have been awarded from 57 assessments. Since its February 1975 origin, the program has grown substantially, says Dr. William E. Phillips.

Women Press FCC for Free Listings in Directories
Women's rights advocates petition the Federal Communications Commission to require free telephone listings for married women. They seek listings on the same line as husbands or separately, arguing current charges burden women. AT&T says free family listings would raise directory size and cost. The suit is led by four women with the Women's Equity Action League and the National Organization for Women, citing examples of potential formats and noting studies that free listings would not unduly expand directories.
