SOCIAL ROLE, GRADUATES, COUNSELING: Conferees Examine Educational Issues (EDITOR'S NOTE: These are the fifth, sixth and seventh in a series of 16 articles covering the Confer- ence on the University sessions, which took place Friday and Satur- day.) Social Change By KAREN KENAH Increased awareness of higher education's role in society was the theme of "The University and Social Change," one of 16 discus- sion group topics included in last Friday and Saturday's Conference on the University. There was general agreement that the University should involve itself with those social issues which are relevant in some way to its effective operation as an educational institution. A question was raised on the exact responsibility of the Univer- sity as a part of society. Michael Zweig, '64, held that the Univer- sity sets an example and is re- sponsible for acting accordingly at all times. "If the University has as its, premise free inquiry, it suggest that an effort be made to re-establish it," he said. Community Contact The group felt that not enough emphasis is placed on the relation- ship of courses to society. Zweig suggested that there be involvement in society for social science classes. The group agreed that there might be greater edu- cational value in a paper that in- volved direct contact with people and issues in the community than in library research. The role of the University as an expanding institution found a split in opinions. One faction believed in limited growth to maintain quality. "The problem is not solv- ed by setting up lesser institu- tions," Prof. Feingold claimed. Advocates of expansion said that the University has a responsibil- ity to educate as many state resi- dents as possible. counseling By ROSALIE BAINE members than as students.

He objected to it on the undergraduate students. It was grounds that it precludes ,the pointed out by Prof. Howard premise of free inquiry.

BRETSCH dents are far more goal-oriented and have much less time to parti- cipate in extra-curricular activities than undergraduates. The group said that undergraduates feel a Across Campus certain "class distinction" with re- gard to graduates. Thus, between the teaching fel- low and his students there tends to be a formal relationship which Peter Burian, Grad, declared an impediment to genuine communi- cation. The unusually motivated student may lose an opportunity to fully participate in his courses, Burian said. On the other ,hand, the teach- ing fellow must bend over back-. wards to avoid "playing favorites." Prof. Phillip Jay of the dental school thought that the formality thereby imposed in no way hinders the student. He said that any nec- essary communication could take place quite easily within the teach- er-student relationship. Higher Standards In regard to teaching fellows who are actually poor instructors, Mrs. McEldowney suggested that there should be standards for teaching other than just admission to graduate school. Some of the conferees thought graduates might serve best as ,ounselors for undergraduates; this would encourage more contact be- tween the two groups. The problem of the graduate and undergraduate student in the same class was also raised. Rosen asked if the teacher should teach the more elemental aspects of the course, perhaps boring the gradu- ate, or go into more detail and risk losing the undergraduate. There seemed to be no satisfactory solution to this problem. 'Sub-discussion' Groups Rosen proposed that in a course that contained mostly undergrad- uates, the graduate might lead "sub-discussion" groups and act as, a sort of tutor for the undergradu-, ates. Graduates By DICK WINGFIELD A major problem resulting from the University environment is the isolation of students and faculty, members of the conference session on "University Environment and7 Student Counseling" agreed. Summarizing for the group, Leon Mayhew, an instructor in the so- ciology department, indicated that there is a need for a "link between students and University policy makers, and perhaps the counsel- ing system could serve this func- tion." Group members agreed that the University should establish a co- ordinating agency to gather exist- ing data on the University envir- onment and to do further research on the effects of University poli- cies on students.

DEAN HERBERT M. JOHE Dean Herbert Johe of the arch- itecture and design college point- ed out that academic counselors are the only ones that every stu- dent must see during the academic year. Consequently, he and Prof. Wendell Hewson of the engineer- ing college suggested that the im- portance of quality counseling be given institutional recognition. Faculty group members scored the present method of selecting academic counselors from candi- dates so low in seniority that they have no choice of assignment. Incentive Factor Prof. Hewson proposed that abil- ity in counseling be considered as a basis for faculty promotion as an "incentive factor" for better counseling. Dean Johe suggested that per- haps faculty members near retire- ment age might make the most able counselors in terms of exper- ience and interest in students. Student conference members suggested that an alternative means of improving the Univer- sity's contact with students would be to institutionalize non-academ- ic counseling. Aron Kandie, Grad, said that the University often "is not aware of strains producing "academic fa- tigue" and tensions in a great number of students. He emphasiz- ed that students need to have a specific person or faculty member to whom they can go to discuss problems arising from academic tensions. Who Will Seek Governorship? (Continued from Page 1) chairman Frank D. Beadle (R- St. Clair) promised "to go right ahead and amend bills as we see fit." If these amendments constitute a rejection, will Romney find him- self in another battle with the Sixth,last, and certainly least, he would step out of the governor- ship and challenge Sen. Philip Hart (D-Mich). Just after the first of the year, Romney discounted this entirely, but private specula- tion is that he would allow him- self to be drafted as a last resort. Sources not particularly close to the governor, including some of his enemies within the GOP, see the picture differently. One well- known, outstate Republican frank- ly doubts Romney will seek re- election. "There's much dissatis- faction with him in the party, and I think he has his doubts about defeating (Rep. Neil) Staebler" (D-Mich', the only announced Democratic opponent. Another outspoken Romney foe maintains "he'll hold out for a spot on the national ticket or federal appointment. Lacking that he'll go back to private life." One state senator is wiling to bet $100 that Romney will run and win again-but so far, there are no takers. rep. upon taking the test.
