up at 3 p.m. Feb. 11, 1964. The
University publicly opened five
bids that had been submitted in
response to the announced offer
of the property. The winning bid
of $161,500 was submitted by John

meetings.

The literary college faculty yes-
terday unanimously voted to es-
tablish a new degree program
callbd the Bachelor of Arts in
Liberal Studies.
Also, the approximately 175 lit-
erary college faculty members vot-
ed at their regular monthly meet-
ing to increase "the flexibility" of
the pass-fail program. In addition,
it voted to establish a literary
school faculty Committee on In-
ter-Disciplinary Studies.
The literary college faculty al-
so passed a resolution requesting
the General Library give priority'
to acquisitions-new books-in the
allocation of its present and fu-
ture funds.
Begins Next Fall
The new degree program will
go into effect in the fall term,
1967, and will be open to incom-
ing freshmen only. The literary
school's Curriculum Committee,
which formally recommended the
program, will monitor the opera-
tion of the program and report its
findings to the faculty, together
with further recommendations, by
January, 1971.
Dean William Haber, of the lit-,
terary college, sair the new pro-
gram is meant to complement the
liberal arts tradition of "allow-
ing for intellectual shopping-
around." Haber described the pro-
gram as "broad and yet rigorous
with sufficient requirementsI
to a ppeal to the serious student
and yet make it possible for each
student to reach his own objec-
tives."
Basic Requirements
The program stipulates that a
student will have to fulfill cer-
tain basic requirements (eight
hours of Great Books, and eight,
hours of introductory history, as
well as basic University require-
ments) as prerequisites for the
program.
In the last 54 hours as a jun-

award. These included Dr. Avrom Fleishman and Charles Pollock
of Michigan State, Dr. Hector-Neri Castanada of Wayne, and
Joyce Carol Oates of the University of Detroit.
SIX UNDERGRADUATES in the College of Engineering

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY TRUSTEES will discontinue under
Colombia University trustees have decided to discontinue under-
graduate class standings rather than maintain them and withhold
the grades from local draft boards.
The University council, composed of faculty members and
administrators, had recommended on March 23 that rankings no
longer be made available to the Selective Service System.
But the Trustees said yesterday that the policy would be un-
wise because it "might be regarded by many persons as an in-
trusion by the university into the political arena."
Instead the trustees just did away with class rankings, rather
than have to face the possibilities of "political conflict."

New Fight To
End Greeks'E
Segreg1ation
Traditional Problems
Eliminated; Focus on
Alumni Interference
By STEVE NIISSEN
and
LUCY KENNEDY
The fight to end discrimination
in fraternities and sororities has
moved to a new battlefield ac-
cording to John Hollett, '67,
chairman of the Interfraternity
Council's membership committee.
Hollett says that traditional
problems of overt discrimination
clauses and objectionable rituals
have been eliminated after several
years of investigation.
The focus of attention has now
turned to abolishing alumni in-
terference in membership selection
and educating students and !
alumni in an effort to end de
facto segregation, he added.
Initiative for investigation of
Greek discrimination at the Uni-
versity has rested with the mem-
bership committees of Student
Government Council, Interfrater-
nity Council, and Panhellenic As-'
rsociation.
Dan Fitzpatrick, assistant to
the director of student organiza-
tions, predicts no administartive
pressure will be put on fraterni-{
ties and sororities here.

Daily News Analysis
As the President's Committee on
Class Ranking and Selective Serv-
ice enters the final phase of its
work, much still remains to be
settled.
Since the University charged
the commission to act by May, its
next meeting or the one after it
may be its last.
The committee has yet to come
to a- decision on the two basic
i s s u e s confronting it: what
should it recommend the Univer-
sity do regarding ranking this
May, and what should be the com-
mittee's long run recommenda-
tions for the future.
Alternatives
The alternatives which the com-
mittee will consider at its next
meeting revolve aroundthe ques-
tions whether rankings will be
at all.f
"I've never been entirely con-
vinced that we had any businessx
advising anyone on an issue that'sx
up to the students to decide,"
Ruth Baumann, '68, a studentS
member of the committee said at3
last night's meeting.
It seems almost certain at this
point that the committe will not1
recommend that the Universityt
cease compiling class 'rankings.
The consensus of the committee
was that rankings serve too many
other needed purposes to be elim-
inated entirely.'
What- remains unclear is wheth-
er the committe will recommend
that rankings not be sent to the
Selective Service system. The com-
mittee will consider the suggestion
of Professor William E. Brown of
the dental school, chairman of
right to be considering the issue I University to submit rankings be-
fore the semester begins.
In general, the committee mem-
bers seem impressed with the com-
plexity of the issue.
"Its one of those questions where
you'll be wrong no matter what
you decide," Dean Haber said.
"There are times," noted Prof.
Kenneth E. Boulding of the eco-
nomics department, "when I wish
the Regents would just flip a
coin."
