To aid in Residential College
planning, faculty members have
visited experimental colleges in
California, Massachusetts a n d
Michigan State University. But,
they have given little attention to
an experiment much closer at
home.
And, ironically enough, a small
school in operation for seven years
within Wayne State University-
Monteith College-offering an un-
structed approach to learning, was
named in honor of one of the
founders of the University.
Like the planned Residential
College, Monteith attempts to
remedy the faults of the depart-
mental system that offers general
sketches of specific areas by pro-
viding basic courses of an inter-'
disciplinary nature.
Perhaps Monteith has been
overlooked because Wayne is a
"communters" school and Mon-
teith's physical set-up can not be
of the Residential College form,
where students will live in the
immediate area of the college's
classrooms, with other Residential
College students.
However, Monteith's adminis-
trators will. argue that the inte-
gration of "living and learning."
Residential College style, can be
stultyfying. They say that the way
the curriculum is organized and
the students' part in this organi-
zation will determine the degree
of "dedication" to leraning more
than the sense of "community"
that can be derived from placing
living and learning quarters side
by side would.
Monteith students use the same
classrooms as other Wayne stu-
dents, though administrative of-
fices and a student center are sep-
arate from any university-wide
offices, occupying old houses, a
trademark of the Wayne campus.
Basic Monteith courses are sim-
ilar to the Residential College's
"core program" of a freshman
seminar; Logic and Language
course, History of Western Man,
Human Behavior and the Contem-
porary World.
But, the most exciting facet of
Monteith's curriculum is one that
directly involves students in cur-
riculum planning.
The "Co-operative Self-Educa-'
first graduating class in senior
discussion groups allows students
interested in a specialized area not
covered by courses in Monteith or
any of Wayne's other colleges, to
organize their own courses, obtain
a faculty sponsor, and receive
credit for the courses as electives.
Examples of past courses have
been: Film Language: Its History
and Evolution, Northern Student
Movement, Art and the City, and
Revolutions.
Students choose or have a ma-
jor part in selecting their own
reading lists, grading methods and
type of classroom structure, Free-
University style.
While the Residential College
will offer degrees only to those
who concentrate in specific areas,
who specialize and also awards
degrees in "general education" for
those who want a broad liberal
arts background but do not plan
to attend graduate school or en-
ter a profession.
The idea is similar to one of
the University curriculum commit-
tee, for a "bachelor's degree in
humanistic studies." That propos-
al will be considered by the fac-
ulty-at-large this fall, along with
suggestions for pass-fail courses
and a "concentration-at-large"
program, an interdisciplinary ap-
proach to the problem of a "ma-
jor," unified by time periods or
sociological categories.
Students at any class level in
Monteith are permitted to elect
tutorials for up to 10 of the 16
hours required each quarter. A
similar program will be offered
in the Residential College, but only
for upperclass students, who may
be given the alternative of doing
directed individual reading in
their fields of concentration.
Monteith students are not sub-
jected to a foreign language re-
quirement, though many do study
languages to prepare for future
formal education.
Instead of the traditional fresh-
man English composition course,
students are graded on papers
they write throughout the basic
courses, on the basis of form as
well as content. Tapes of all lec-
tures are available for student use.
Monteith students are required
to follow these "basic" courses: a
six quarter sequence in natural
science, five quarter sequence in
the science of society, five quarter
sequence in humanistic studies,
and a two quarter senior colloq-
uium, culminating in the writing
of a thesis directed by a faculty
adviser.
The last colloquium sequence is
centered on one of the three gen-
eral areas covered in the basic
courses.
Basic course sequences do not
cover specific disciplines as bot-
any, social psychology or history
of art but rather attempt unifica-
tion under such categories as: The
Rise of Scientific Thought, The
Problematic of Social Science and
Contemporary Man and the Arts.
The above requirements fill ap-
proximately half the student's pro-
gram in the first two years.
Even with the radical curricu-
lum, Monteith students have little
trouble transferring credits to oth-
er schools or gaining acceptance
for graduate studies-alumni have
gone to Harvard, Yale, the Uni-
versity and the University of
Chicago; among others.
And, though the curriculum
seems unrestrictive at first, Mon-
teith students ahe pushing for
further reforms. Encouraged by
educator-author Paul Goodman,
who is very much impressed by
Monteith, they are asking for the
removal of all basic course re-
quirements, carrying on the tra-
dition of the "Cooperative Self-
Education" organizers in seeking
greater control over their educa-
tional process.

Late World News
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK--TWO WHITE youths were critically wounded
by gunshots last night when four Negroes being approached by a
group of whites in a white neighborhood opened fire, police
reported.
Officers said the wounded youths told them the Negroes were
standing on a corner in Brooklyn's predominantly white Flat-
bush section when a group of about 40 whites ran toward them to
chase them from the neighborhood.
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL-Marshal Amaury Kruel yes-
terday followed up his sudden resignation from the army by
charging the government of President Humberto Castello Branco
with abuse of power.
Kreul made the charge in a statement distributed to news-
men less than 24 hours after his retirement from command of
the powerful Sao Paulo-based 2nd Army.

SAIGON-A BATTALION-SIZE unit of the U.S. 5th Marine
Regiment was reported in heavy contact early today with a large
Communist force entrenched about 25 miles northwest of Chu
Lai on South Viet Nam's northwest coast.
DEAN Z. DOUTHAT RECEIVED the unanimous endorse-
ment of the Washtenaw County Democratic Party for his bid for
the Democratic nomination for the University's Board of Regents
late last night.
John J. Collins and Norman Krandall, also candidates for the
nomination to the regental seat, appealed for the Washtenaw
endorsement which is felt to be "psychologically important."
However there was no discussion on their endorsements.
The Washtenaw County Democratic Party held its conven-
tion in the Michigan Union Ballroom.
The final nomination for the post will be made at the Demo-
cratic State Convention Aug. 20, in Grand Rapids.
THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION recommended yester-
day that the Legislature help Detroit out of its money troubles
by boosting state aid to districts which have high nonschool
,taxes, the Associated Press reported from Lansing.
The Detroit School Board has said that to avoid cutbacks,
it needs $12.5 million more than the $159.4 million it has budget-
ed for 1966-67. The proposed cutbacks include half-day sessions
for the first and seventh grades.
The State Board said Detroit could cut its expected shortage
to about $8 million by using $4.5 million now held in reserve.
Legislative leaders and Gov. George Romney have agreed that
under recent legislation, the state should handle the payments.
POLICE OFFICIALS BREATHED a sign of relief yesterday
over the calm they say has settled over Lansing's Negro district-
but remained on guard to prevent a fresh outbreak of violence,
the Associated Press reported.
- The 20-square block predominantly Negro area was sealed
tightly for the second consecutive night-with police guards keep-
ing out all but area residents.
A neighborhood meeting was called for the dual purpose of
telling disgruntled youth of agreements worked out between city
officials and Negro leaders, and of keeping them off the streets.
Negro youth, their adult spokesmen, clergymen and social
organization representatives, meanwhile, started working out a
program to cope with a generally acknowledged shortage of
recreational facilities in the area. The barricades were torn down
before midnight.

Disturbance
Flares Anew
Whites Shoot Negro,
Fire Bomb Smashes
Window in Violence
DETROIT A')-Violence flared
anew last night in a racially mix-
ed neighborhood on Detroit's East
Side. One Negro was reported shot
by white youths and a gasoline
fire bomb smashed through a drug
store window.
Police said 15 arrests were made,
on charges ranging from inciting
to riot to possession of explosives.
Both whites and Negroes were
among those arrested.
Two hours after the flareup, of-
ficials reported the situation un-
der control.
Shortly before the fire-bombing
incident, a 26-year-old Negro
walked into Detroit's Receiving
Hospital with blood streaming
from a gunshot wound In the left
shoulder.
The victim, Tyrone Powers, 26,
told police he was walking down
a street when he heard the squeal-
ing of tires, stopped, looked around
and saw three white men in a
car,
Powers said one of them shout-
ed, "Look out, nigger," and then
fired two shots as the auto sped
away. Powers was described by
hospital attendants as in tempor-
arily serious condition.
Last night's outbreak occurred
in the same area where violence
flared Tuesday night after police
tried to make a routine arrest for
loitering.
Detroit's 4000 policemen were
ordered on 12-hour shifts and all
leaves canceled although Police
Commissioner Ray Girardin de-
scribed the original Tuesday dis-
turbance as "an isolated but ser-
ious incident."
Before the new flareup, Girar-
din told a news conference he had
expected no repetition of the rock-
throwing and window-breaking
that broke out in a 16-block area.
Members of the city's crack com-
mando-trained tactical mobile unit
moved into the area again last
night and urged bystanders to go
home.
Police said seven white youths-
five boys and two girls-were ar-
rested while walking down a street
carrying homemade Molotov cock-
tails (bombs made of gasoline-
filled pop bottles).
Girardin said police had been
able to cope with the situation and
will continue to cope with it be-
cause "we feel the community is
helping us."
In Tuesday night's disturbance,
seven persons were arrested and
two injured, including a Negro
policeman cut by a knife during
the original arrest attempt

that the university's Institute for

charges that the institute also
summarizes "the state of knowl-
edge on biological and chemical
weapons systems, both offensive
and defensive, in terms of inter-
est to decision makers and poten-
tial users ...'
The article adds that "In a
study done for the institute by

chemical warfare is evaluated in
terms of its effect upon the po-
tential role of such weapons in

nide compounds over the rice

It further strongly suggests that
the research at Penn led the State
Department last July to begin "to
move toward a reconsideration of
the official American policy which
opposes the use of germ warfare."
Toward this end, there appeared a
"memo advocating the surrepitious
use in Viet Nam of tularemia."
The idea of spreading this dis-
ease, akin to bubonic plague, "was
approved up to the assistant secre-
tary level at the State Depart-
ment."
Government grants provide the
largest single source of the uni-
versity's total income, Ramparts
says, adding, "Penn is not so much
a university on the make as a uni-
versity that has been had."
Another instance in which the
university "has been had," says
Ramparts, is its Political. Science
551, "a course for spies."
Taught by Drs. George and
Charlotte Dyer, this "is in reality
a thinly disguised training course
for future intelligence agents."
The professors "announce at the
beginning of the semester that one'
out of 10 who take the course will
be recruited for the CIA." Accord-
ing to the official syllabus, it in-
cludes field work in which "joint
military-political maneuvers are
laid in any sort of available ter-
rain where unusually useful, and
hopefully predictive lessons may
be learned."
