EIGHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, EIGHT THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY. -----Y -- ''President Gives Views After Tour (Continued from Page 1) Moscow, a council on reforms in higher education set up what x President Hatcher called "one of the greatest mass educational ex periments the world has ever teen" -- a two-year work re- quirement before entering uni- ........... ersiies It will apply to most applicants, ie said, except some language and so ence students, and some artists who may not even finish second- a'.4ry school. Hesitates To Advocate Programi "I would hesitate before advo- cating the program here," Presi- dent Hatcher said, "though cer- tainly the war veteran's maturity made them more serious in their endeavors." f Discussing the typical program f '* Russian student, no funda- mental difference between Ameri- can and Russian educational sys- tems was noted. However, the University Presi- dent remarked "some surprise at the variety, not only of courses and majors, bu talso of jobs of- fered," which he understands has been liberalized in the past few years. Can Exercise Wide Choice "There is clearly a wide area for both the family and boy or girl to exercise wide choice, much the same as there is here," he said. Later he qualified the statement, adding, "I suspect, after making their decisions, students may find ob'stacles in trying to attain their goals." The gifted, he indicated, are given "remarkable rewards," in- cluding honors, stipends and in- viations to join the greatly re- spected academies. Amplifying the President's com- ment, Prof. Dewey said that once a student has chosen his vocation it is difficult to change. Can't Avoid 'Eight O'Clocks They also have less latitude in choosing schedules, he added, and 'no chance to avoid eight o'clock classes.'# The more regimented life is supplemented by plays "of which students and authorities are very proud," he said. Extra activities are not required, but Prof. Dewey noted that they are "encouraged by the youth leaders who are the vanguard of the students just as the party is the vanguard of the people." Visitor Tallis On Education "A democratic society cannot exist without a well-educated electorate," the vice-president for academic affairs at Michigan State University told the New York Times Friday. Thomas H. Hamilton, who will assume the presidency of the state University of New York Aug. 1, believes' that public education is designed to benefit not only the individual, but society as a whole. "I see no possibility for our so- ciety to survive, let alone prosper, without having extensive -educa- tional opportunities available," he said. Dichotomy Unnecessary Discussing his philosophy of education, Hamilton said that a dichotomy between quantity and quality in education is not neces- sary. "I think that public education generally, while it must deal with numbers, can still be high in quality," he commented. At least a minimum of liberal education is needed by everyone, Hamilton believes. He described this as a background in broad areas and the ability to use tools of logic and to reason at a high level. Discusses Soviet Advances He added that he was' in no sense opposed to vocational and professional education. Liberal and professional educations are essential components of the whole, he said. Of Soviet educational advances, he said, "Fundamentally, I am opposed to shaping our education- al policy in reaction to the So- viet Union."

A recommendation was also made that the city plan imme- diately to convey the Garfield Park land to the university. J Meeting in Urbana, the trustees proposed a west side site after the Chicago commissioner of plan- ning rejected plans for another site. When the university is assured of its recent acquisition, action will be taken to rescind the pre- vious selection of a Riverside site for the. campus, the trustees an- nounced. Al costs of the Garfield Park; area over and above the amount required to purchase the River- side site must be borne by the city, the trustees announced And the board will take the Garfield area only subject to the consider- ation that it is granted the entire site requested. Other provisions fixed by the trustees were that several streets be closed off and that the city undertake a redevelopment pro- program to reestablish the park. In other action, the trustees re- quested that the governor in- crease his request to the state legislature for construction of universities and colleges by $50,- 000,000. He had originally pro- posed a total of $120,000,000 for this purpose.
