Administrators Debate (Last of a Three-Part Series) By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM Above all, Extension Service officials are concerned with educa- tion. Their self-prescribed task is to improve the quality of the 500 off-campus credit courses in the wake of criticism from Univer- sity administrators and educators. But their leading critics reside within the extension itself. As- sociate Director Lynn Eley focuses the issue "on whether and how the off-campus program can be markedly improved to facilitate the teaching and learning processes." Image Oriented His prospects are weakened by perplexing administrators who seem more interested in the Extension image than its academic substance, officials moan. The position of some administrators is partially reflected in a set of recommendations concerning Extension Service submitted to the Office of Academic Affairs, one Extension official 'said. Parts of these recommendations show the thinking of higher administrative members and portions have the backing of the Ex- tension Service. One recommendation-made by the upper echelons-ambigu- ously asserts that the University "reaffirms its position as ready and able to provide educational advantages" throughout the state. It further indicates that Exension is prepared "to broaden its scope of activities and to reestablish courses in all sections of the state" wherever financially feasible. Extension Service brass say it's not. They vow a stiff fight with top-echelon policy makers. The goal is endorsement for other portions of the recommendations which will spur substantive improvement to the off-campus (or ex- tramural) programs themselves-not the images. What adds significance to their cause is the shortage of funds which limits the opportunities of carrying out successful public relations programming concurrent with offering higher-quality courses. Extension officials concede that the "educational" as opposed to the more "political" approach may give a competitive advantage to Michigan State University. Out-StateC Or, it may force the concentration of courses and facilities within the Southeast Michigan area. But, the extension brass say they want to do it. The gist of what's to be done is given in Eley's pamphlet "A Philosophy of Extension for the University." Reorientation Needed He explains that a reorientation of courses is needed. Although the Extension Service history has been built on teacher-education courses, Eley observes that other schools are now capable of pro- viding these services. He alludes to Michigan State University whose education school has sparked an increase in extramural activities. One portion of the recommendations call for more aggressive education school activity, but the extension people themselves are not sure they want it. Eley postulates the Extension belief that a course-shift must be made from its current teacher-training dominance to programs geared for more general education and cultural enrichment. One of his major appeals is to the campus colleges and graduate schools which actually offer the courses. ourse Policy As an example, the Graduate School operates Centers for Graduate Study in Battle Creek, Dearborn, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Flint and Saginaw. Because of its participation in the extramural program, the Graduate School has compiled a series of recommendations "con- cerning the quality of graduate offerings" in the off-campus centers. Formulated independently of the extension recommendations, they point up many of the same problems diagnosed by extension. Basically, both sets of recommendations recognize that the academic planning must come exclusively from academic hands- preferably'within the departments and schools. Extension officials urge the Graduate School to take'a more direct role in the running of graduate centers. This would include organizing curricula, encouraging staff members to teach and taking comprehensive surveys of their extramural programs. Associate Dean Howard Brestch of the Graduate School ad- mits that only recently has the school begun to investigate its extramural courses.

POWER Power Vews Causes Behind World Tension By BRUCE BIGELOW "The lack of communication and understanding between var- ious cultures is the major reason for international tension in to- day's world," Regent Eugene B. Power stated last night in a speech at the Pakistan Day celebration. The celebration was sponsored by the Pakistan Students' Asso- ciation in honor of Pakistan's in- dependence day, March 23. Power stated that all national- ities are basically similar and seek the same goals and aspirations. The building blocks of the world rae in reality very similar. Thus, the real international conflicts are ultimate products of cultural mis- understanding and confusion. Greek Demonstration Power pointed to the recent Greek demonstration against the United States as a prime example of lack of understanding. "The United States has not been in- volved in any direct action against the Greeks; the problem there- fore is entirely one of interna- tional misunderstanding." The role of the University in developing a sincere cultural ex- change program is very signifi- cant, he said. "Cultural under- standing is most easily obtained in a cosmopolitan atmosphere like that which exists here at the Uni- versity. Michigan's foreign ex- change program is a valuable- ex- perience in understanding for both American and foreign stu- dents." Independence Power noted the spirit of inde- pendence and freedom which was present in the celebration. "This is the spirit that typifies the Pak- istanian nation today. My best wishes go out to a brother nation." The regent also challenged the Pakistan students to continue their fine efforts in education. "You, as foreign students, are here in the main to obtain an educa- tion. I hope that you may apply this learning to your own culture when you return home. Your couanntrv needs both your technica.l capacity to SGC," according to the approved motion. Drafting a specific plan will be up to SGC's student concerns committee, headed by Council member Carl Cohen, '66, who also submitted the constituent assem- bly motion Specifically, the com- mittee is to decide whether the proposed assembly would be filled by "direct representation from housing units, or whether it should more closely resemble a town meeting." Assembly The assemblyhwas first advo- cated during the recent SGC campaign by the Student Govern- ment Reform Union, a group of candidates demanding strong re- formof Council. The motion by Cohen, the only SGRU candidate winning a Council seat, represents the first reform legislation to go before the new Council. Arguing for the motion, Cohen asserted that "the campus is rap- idly losing all interest in SGC," and cited voting totals which "have declined rapidly in succes- sive campaigns." He blasted current Council at- tempts at provoking constituents' interest: its establishment of a public relations board and a news- letter "can hardly be called suc- cessful" while the time allotted at SGC meetings for constituents to address the Council "is not psychologically attractive." Constituents Constituents' time, Cohen charg- ed, was designed not to encourage constituents to speak out. "They're understandably hesitant at turn- ing SGC meetings into open forums." A constituent assembly, on the other hand, would provide "a pub- lic forum for students to voice opinions, views or gripes." It would give students a direct part in their government, making them feel it was concerned enough to listen to them, Cohen maintained. Cohen suggested that the con- stituent assembly could be held in residence halls and other hous- ing units. Last Issue The Daily will cease publica- tion with today's issue for the spring vacation.

CARL COHEN THIRD TERM: One-Fifth May Come Early results from a University survey show that one out of five students would consider enrolling next summer if the University of- fered a full-fledged third term then. The survey is being taken through a questionnaire distribut- ed with preclassification mater- ials. According to Stephen H. Spurr of the Office of Academic Affairs, the survey represents a very rough computation of infor- mation from the approximately 1,- 000 questionnaires returned to counselors so far, "The study does not represent an accurate cross-section of stu- dents; almost all of the forms were from the literary college and a larger proportion than normal were from honors students," he commented. He indicated that most of the students planning to attend the summer session intend to take full 15-week courses rather than seven-week courses. If this pref- erence holds when further results are in, it would represent some- thing of a surprise: designers of the new academic calendar had expected the intensive seven-week courses to be the most popular. Offered during both the first and second halves of the summer, the seven-week courses would al- low summer students almost a two-month vacation. By WILLIAM L. RYAN Associated Press Special Correspondent World Communism's internal crisis is assuming an explosive look. In effect, Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's camp is being served an ultimatum by its op- ponents: adopt a more offensive policy toward the West or face an open contest with a rival Red movement for global leadership. A battle is shaping up between the "haves" and "have-nots" of the Communist world. The have- nots are telling the Russians they have gone soft, and that they must either get behind violent revolu- tion all the way or get out of the revolutionary business. Gains Support This cry, an echo of the Red Chinese, has been taken up by the party in North Viet Nam. The criticism was made in private three Faculty View State Colleges A statewide faculty group held an organizational meeting yester- day to launch its study of the or- ganization of Michigan higher ed- ucation. The group, a committee of the state chapter of the American As- sociation of University Professors, is headed by Prof. Wilfred Kaplan of the mathematics department. It may recommend some sort of au- thority be established to quell dis- putes between the presently auton- omous state universities. "First, a very intensive study of practices of educational orga- .nization in states across the coun- try will be undertaken," Prof. Kap- lan said.

It was the first serious fighting since Canadian troops began ar- riving Saturday as the van of of a United Nations peace force. The force is not yet far enough advanced, however, to begin func- tioning. The most serious fighting eddied around the Turkish Cypriot vil- lage of Ghaziveran, 28 miles westj of Nicosia, where 200-300 Greek Cypriots attacked with bazookas and machine guns. A fragile cease-fire was worked out by Pier Spinelli of Italy, United Nations Secretary-General U Thant's representative, who flew to the scene in a helicopter. with Maj. Gen. Mike Carver, com- mander of British peace forces. The two then returned to Nic- osia and were discussing the truce terms with Fazil Kuchuk, Turkish Cypriot vice-president, when the fighting broke out again. At the same time, fighting erupted at Kalokhorio, a mixed, village four miles southwest of Ghaziveran. British peace forces' there reported at least one Turk- ish Cypriot and one Greek Cypriot had been killed.
