Much of the meeting was de- voted to recruiting students for the city course which was initiated last winter. The course affords students the opportunity to "go out into the field and get academic credit for it," Prof. Richard Mann of the psychology department ex- plained. "There's a limit to how much a person can learn in Ann Arbor classrooms," he continued. "Soine- how education has to be more relevant to students. They must see it from where it's at." 1 Students, working under the guidance of a professor, can par- ticipate in a course which might include tutoring of black students or observing middle class families. Later in the meeting, Dan Sobel, '69, described the College Studies Program, a new student organized department which of- fers courses in inter-disciplinaryl fields.E The department, which has a formal office at 108 Angell Hall and already offers four courses for credit to students, permits students to sign up for a course of their choosing, and procure a pro- fessor. The students then must present a plan to the curriculum committee of the literary college explaining what they would like to learn from the course. The department offers a course studying the process of education within the University and is con- sidering one on Latin American revolution. The latter part of the meeting was devoted to a panel discussion by the participants in the city course. Bill Korn, '69, described his ex- perience inworking in a federal prison studying homosexuality. He was interested in the sociological structure of the communal. Joyce Wood described her work in Ypsilanti with four former de- linquent black girls. "It showed me the great need to change the country's school system," he said. - iew doctorai uegree program- By ERIKA HOFF The University's architecture college may soon be the first in the country to offer a Doctor of Architecture degree. A new eight-year program lead- ing to the degree will be submitted by 'the college to t h e gradua~te school executive board next week. If it is approved there, it will then go to the Board of Regents. With approval there, the architecture school could graduate student.s ,with a Doctor of Architecture de- gree in two years. Some schools offer a Ph. D. in architecture. However, such pro- grams encompass a broader area than Just architecture and are of- ten preparation for teaching. "The Doctor of Architecture degree will be a professional de- gree designed as extra preparation for careers in the field of archi- 'U, officials unlikely to assist failing Ann Arbor bus system f t S I By PHIL BLOCK Ann Arbor officials will pro- bably not find University money available to save the city's failing bus system which is expected to close down at the end of this month. University and city officials dis- cussed the transportation prob- lems and other common problems at their quarterly meeting Tues- day night. At the meeting city officials ar- gued for University involvement in the city's mass transportation sys- tem while University leaders said the University could only maintain an advisory role. The city may cancel its present contract with the St. John Trans- portation Co. at the end of the month because of unexpected high costs of the system. At the meeting- one councilman suggested that the University ex- pand its own bus system and al- low city residents to ride the bus- es. Presently, only University stu- dents and personnel are allowed to use the buses. The councilman also proposed that the city pay 10 per cent of the costs of the expanded system. Other councilmen felt that al-/, though immediate University par-I ticipation in a municipal bus sys- tem was unfeasible, the city and the University should work on a long range program which could solve the transportation needs of both. University objections to the pro- posals center around the lack of legislative approval for University support of community services. Most of the University officials at the meeting felt that the most the University could do was to provide technical advice on the bus system. ' Another transportation problem discussed by city and University officials was theconstruction of' a "southern penetrator" from 1-94 into the citynvia State St. The city has already submitted a pre- liminary plan for the project to the state highway department /A f which will cut across part of the University golf course. University officials announced that an alternate plan which would avoid cutting into recrea- tional areas is nearing completion and will be submitted to city of- ficials at the next University-city meeting in March. Also considered was the widen- ing of Hill St. to form an east- west corridor through the city. City officials felt that University financial support for the project was appropriate because the Uni- versity asked for and obtained the closings of -other east-west streets such as North University. Czechs pri librlzt tecture." says Prof. Walter Sand- ers of t h e architecture depart- ment. "There are opportunities for ar- chitects that didn't exist five or ten years ago," Sanders says. He explained that positions are be- ing created that require the skills of an architect but that also in- volve areas not covered in t h e- masters program. Sanders points to fields of government such as HEW and urban planning as ex- amples of new challenges in the field. In June. 1967. a six-year pro- gram in architecture replaced the previous five-year program. Stu- dents following the current pro- gram take two years of LS&A courses and begin studies in archi- tecture in their third year. At the end of six years they receive a Master of Architecture degree. At the end of six years they re- ceive a Master of Architecture de- gree. Students can, upon applica- tion, receive a Bachelor of Sci- ence degree at the end of four years. Those students now working o~i their Masters of Architecture de- gree feel that the additional de- gree would be valuable primarily as an opportunity to do research. "There is virtually no research being done in the field today, ex- cept what is done by students working on their programs," says Dale Bryant, grad. g loA1001 d, r i v eV In addition to agreeing to write the letter to Colotka, the students called for negotiations with t h e Soviets about the sovereignity of Czechoslovakia; abolition of press censorship, which was reinstated after the invasion; new elections for the National Assembly; con- vening of a Czech congress; re- cognition of the workers' coun- cils whose establishment was halted by the invasion, and con- tinuation of the 14th party con- gress that was held in secret two days after the invasion and then invalidated on the demand of the Soviet Union.

A recent party decision to have Smrkovsky accept the deputy chairmanship was believed to have been made at the insistence of the Soviets, whose tanks remain not far outside Prague. campus probe (Continued from Page 1) checked into charges of commu- nist infiltration on the Michigan State campus in the early fifties.
