WASHINGTON P) - A pro-
posal for a "civilian GI Bill" to
enable needy, students to attend
college will be introduced in the
91st Congress.
Rep. Ogden R. Reid, R-N.Y.,
said he would draft the new legis-
lation, which would implement a
report by the Carnegie Commis-
sion on Higher Education.
The 'report, released last Dec.
12, contains 22 reconuendations,
including a massive program of
direct grants to needy students,
with federal matching g r a n t s,
Student loans, work-study pro-
rams and doctoral fellowships.
o Extensive aid for medical training
also included.
Although the report is viewed
favorably by most congressmen,
the chances of formal enactment
this year are almost nonexistent.
In the Senate, associates of
Sen. Claiborne Pell, (D-R.I.), new
chairman of the Senate Education
Committee, say that at present
they , would view Reid's bill as
something of a catalyst to stim-
ulate discussion leading to n e W
legislation some time in the fu-
ture, but not necessarily this year.
In an interview before he took
office, Robert Finch, secretary of
health, education and welfare,

Krasny said if the community

Dan McCreath, UAC president,

Eighty-nine per cent of the Uni-
versity students taking education
school courses want students to
have some direct influence over
the school's policy decisions.
This is the most striking result
of a survey released Wednesday
by Students for Educational In-
novation (SEI).
Over 2000 students responded to
the SEI survey. The results which
SEI reported are based on the
responses of about one-third of
this group.
This random sampling was
made, SEI officials explained, be-
cause of a shortage of funds. and
lack of time.
Those responding to the survey
were enrolled in either the literary
college, a professional school. or
the education school. All were
working on some program relating
to education.
The questionnaire probed coun-
seling, grading system, student in-
volvement in decision-making. ur-
ban education, and other areas of
interest.
The survey, taken last term,
showed that:
sixty per cent of the student
interviewed said they favored vot-
ing powers for students on fac-
ulty committees, or the creation'
of parallel student committees
with equal power:
-ninety-three per cent felt stu-
dent involvement should be in-
creased in curriculum areas:
-fifty per cent of the sample
said they would enroll in urban
education programs if they were
offered at the education school.
They favored an "integrated series
of courses dealing specifically with
the inner-city situation."
Some steps are already being
taken to solve some of the prob-
lems. A joint student-faculty com-
mittee is preparing an urban ed-
ucation course for next fall, and
should have a preliminary report
by early February.
In addition, student involvement
on education school committee de-
cisions has increased markedly in
the past year, mostly under the
impetus of the SEI. For example,
one committee with substantial
student representation, was instru-
mental in the selection of former
