THE ~MICHIGAN IDAILY Yi ig Ten Graduate Schools Adopt Pre-Doctoral Degree pIi r~,+, y¢rr r:;~r;r+sr ,r.,r r rrSCrv5f r.;r+rvrr DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN CHICAGO (CPS)-Deans of the Big Ten Graduate Schools have adopted a proposal which is their answer to the suggestions in some academic circles that another de- V gree at the doctoral level is needed. The deans' proposal is that a degree or certificate be created for the person who has been cer- tified a doctoral candidate. The Big Ten proposal is a far cry from the proposal most re- cently advanced in the University of California's Muscatine Report that a new degree-the Doctor of Arts-be awarded to those who had completed all of the require- ments for the Ph.D. except the dissertation. A person certified as a doctoral candidate lacks only the com- pletion of his dissertation and his final oral examination. Formilization The recognition, as proposed by the Big Ten deans, is actually only a formalization of the status attained when a person has com- pleted his doctoral requirements except for the dissertation. The recognition proposed by the deans would come in the form of a Candidate's Degree or Candi- date's Certificate. The proposal for establishing it was unanimously approved at a meeting in Chicago A last week. The deans agreed to take the proposal back to their respective institutions and seek faculty and administrative opinion and to meet next fall for a progress re- port. So far, only one Big Ten- school, the University, will award the Candidate's Certificate this spring. 'Graduate School Dean, Stephen Spurr, who chaired the Chicago meeting, said the group did not feel that a second doctor's degree should be created. "We didn't feel you could upgrade the master's or downgrade the doctorate," he said. Spurr said the success of the Candidate's Certificate or Can- didate's Degree would depend on the number of institutions that decide to award it and the status that the institutions gave it. He said the reasons the deans felt a new degree was needed were similar to those underlying the feeling that a Doctor of Arts should be established: The Big Ten deans, however, saw fit to distinguish their recog- nition as being only an interme- diary achievement. "We feel the Candidate's Certificate or Degree, whichever the institutions elect to call it, should be regarded as an achievement enroute to the doc- torate, not as something to work toward at the beginning of one's collgee career," Spurr said. The Doctor of Arts degree had also been proposed by John Gard- ner when he was president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Ad- vancement of Teaching. It would be awarded to the person who had completed all requirements for a doctorate except the dissertation. If the person wanted later to finish his thesis, he would then be eligible for a Ph. D. The Muscatine Report, Gardner, and other educators made the sug- gestion as a means of keeping the large number of persons who are within one step of getting their doctorate in the teaching profes- sion. Many educators feel that by 1970 the teacher shortage will be critical and that many persons are lost to the profession because they do not complete the last hurdle to the doctorate-the dissertation- simply because they are not re- search oriented. Schools which will be consider- ing the proposal are Michigan State University, Northwestern, Purdue, Ohio State University, the Universities of Indiana, Wiscon- sin, Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa. The University of Chicago, the Big Ten's eleventh member, has announced it may consider the. proposal also.

GRADUATE STUDENT COUNCIL is planning to continue most of its regular projects during the summer. The teaching committee will continue to work on the training of teaching fellows. The protest over announced increase in parking fees for graduate students will continue. GSC also plans to give continued support for the demands of teaching fellows for higher salaries and better working con- ditions. It is unlikely that there will be regular meetings of GSC but its officers will continue working through the summer. The Student Advisory Committee on Presidential Selection will also continue its work. INTER-HOUSE ASSEMBLY is planning special summer projects, to be led by summer chairman, Barbara Taylor, '67. The IHA summer committee will work on plans for fall recreation programs, an IHA introductory booklet and newspaper, a "Big Sister" program for foreign students, planning of fall workshops for house officers and a "faculty-association" program. By The Associated Press Civilians, many of whom wish simply that the war would go away at whatever political cost, are caught in an insoluble dilemma when the war surges around their hamlets. The fighting mostly takes place in the so-called contested areas where neither side holds absolute sway. Or in fringe areas controlled by the Viet Cong or government but without the majority of the population being committed one way or the other'. A common sequence of events begins with a strong Viet Cong force moving into the general area, possibly knocking out a poorly defended government out- post if one exists. An operation- government or American -- is cranked up to push the Commun- ists out. Battalion Arrives Shortly after dawn a battalion or more arrives by helicopter out- side the village, following an ar- tillery barrage and an aerial bom- bardment to soften possible re- sistance. If the Viet Cong stay in the village, they probably will order the villagers under pain of death to remain to be caught up in the fighting. If the Viet Cong are gone and the civilians try to flee the coming operation they may be shot and blasted by artillery as they try to run away. A great deal is said of the plight of innocent villagers in Viet Nam whose homes are de- stroyed and lives ripped asunder. Much of it is true. But there is the other side of the coin. U.S. Marines trying to get on the good side of the Vietna- mese civilians in the Da Nang area went to great lengths to bring smiles to the faces of children and be courteous to their parents. Then they discovered some of the children were stealing gre- nades which local guerrillas could throw at the Marines at night. One smiling mother whose chil- dren had benefited from quanti- ties of chewing gum and C ra- tions was found with a crude but accurate map of Marine positions. The map was meant for the Viet Cong. A farmer in a field off the flank of American troops sweeping through an enemy village waved hopefully. One cynical American shot at the man and two others joined in. As some of their com- rades began chiding the trio, the man in the field dropped his hat, grabbed a carbine from bushes and blasted away at the Ameri- cans before trying, unsuccessfully, to flee to safety. Villages Labeled Villages, o f t e n haphazardly, have been labeled enemy or pro- government when in reality they are neither and both. A handful of snippers from a village, a Viet Cong squad possibly from a differ- ent area, can result in tragedy for the inhabitants. Air strikes, moi- tars and artillery are called in to silence the snipers. The poor but somehow neat huts of the Viet- namese peasants are blasted or burned. "I wish to God there were some other way we could do this," a Marine officer once said. "I can't send my men against dug-in po- sitions without support. It would be murder." Deny Sanctuary The aim is to deny the Viet Cong any sanctuary. The ultimate plan is to pacify Viet Cong areas and, as the British did in Malaya, deny hope, food, information and life itself to the insurgents. It also calls for relocating those willing to back the government side. Those in the middle pay a ter- rible price. Some of it is hard to under- stand in Western terms. Near Cu Chi, where the U.S. 25th Division is setting up its Viet Nam home, thousands of Vietnamese have been relocated from villages laid out in a crazy-quilt pattern off Highway 1 into a relatively easy to defend grid system along the road. f sommummummm !,ice _ c STLI for MBA Use Daily Classified Ad's FASHION GUID Todd S.
